Midweek slump? Not on our watch. The Midweek Market pops up every Wednesday from 4ā7 PM at Moore Squareāwith the next one happening Wednesday, August 6. Fresh produce, local goods, and sweet treats await. Itās the perfect excuse to ditch the sad desk salad and stock up on good stuff while soaking up good vibes. Think live music, artisan vendors, and that one ingredient you didnāt know your kitchen needed.
This isnāt sponsored (weād let you know if it was). We just really love a good market. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with ā*ā).

š Your life storyāor your parentsāādeserves to be told beautifully.
Weāve all said, āSomeone should really write this downā after hearing an incredible story from a parent or grandparent. But life gets busy, and those memories start to fade. Thatās why we love what MemoirGhostwriting.com is doing.
They make it easy to turn a lifetime of memories, lessons, and stories into a beautifully written memoirāwhether itās for yourself, your parents, or someone else in your family. Through warm, personal interviews and the work of experienced writers, they create a book youāll be proud to pass down.
Itās not just about historyāitās about identity, legacy, and love. Itās never too earlyāor too lateāto get it all down.
