Hello again,
I’m sending my newsletter a little early this week with a reminder: Mother’s Day is this Sunday. If you forgot, I have some good news: florists and some other non-essential businesses have gotten the green light to start to reopen in the state. Don’t rush to the store, but if you’re still searching for a gift, hopefully this gives you a few days to safely pick one up. I’m looking forward to celebrating my second Mother’s Day with Liz and Emmy.
