Happy Friday, summer officially begins. Marin and I planned a special and fun girls weekend with some friends from Vermont, and I’m glad the weather will cooperate. We have picnics and beach days on our agenda, and after the past few years, I am so grateful that Marin was able to experience the magic of a sleepover and the joy of entertaining friends. Something I might have taken for granted not too long ago. I wish you a nice weekend.
