Hi neighbors!

I hope you all enjoyed some good food & company yesterday!

While I did plan on sending this week’s edition a day late since yesterday was Thanksgiving and I figured everyone would be too busy enjoying their holiday to pay attention, I did not plan on losing my whole draft and taking a break to cry and start over 😅

So, let’s try this again!

📰  What’s Happening?

Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday! And while there’s a lot of ease/convenience in shopping online… shopping small & local has never been more important.

The small businesses you love in your community need your support more than ever this time of year - and choosing them over a big box retailer for at least some of your holiday shopping may be the difference in them staying open for another year. ❤️
