Best of the Weekend!

It’s Best of the Welcome party time! A hug and warm welcome if this is your first time joining us!

Happy Friday and welcome from your BOTW weekend hosts! I hope everyone is staying cool, because it’s been brutal here in Maryland this week. This is going to be a tough weekend for me…tomorrow would be my 34th wedding anniversary and there’s no question I’m feeling the loss of Mr. Smarty Pants so much. There’s a lot of peaks and valleys to the grieving process, and this week – it’s a valley. Fortunately, my daughter is planning to spend the day with me tomorrow and we’ll try to do something fun to honor the husband and Dad that we lost.

I would love if you could please follow each of our fabulous hosts in some way.
