Midweek slump? Not on our watch. The Midweek Market pops up every Wednesday from 4–7 PM at Moore Square—with the next one happening Wednesday, August 6. Fresh produce, local goods, and sweet treats await. It’s 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 didn’t know your kitchen needed.

This isn’t sponsored (we’d 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 “*”).

📖 Your life story—or your parents’—deserves to be told beautifully.

We’ve all said, “Someone should really write this down” after hearing an incredible story from a parent or grandparent. But life gets busy, and those memories start to fade. That’s 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 memoir—whether it’s for yourself, your parents, or someone else in your family. Through warm, personal interviews and the work of experienced writers, they create a book you’ll be proud to pass down.

It’s not just about history—it’s about identity, legacy, and love. It’s never too early—or too late—to get it all down.
