Work from home check-in and the best snacks

Weekend Digest: Bridesmaid Edition
Happy Monday to all – I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was fab, and it all started off with a really good Friday. I’ve talked a lot about the pros and cons of working from home. One of the cons is physically missing people in the office – it can certainly be a bit isolating at times. But,…

Happy Friday, Friends! It’s hard to believe that it’s not technically summer yet, because it sure feels like it.
