How to Do Anything | Cup of Jo

What are you as much as this month? We’ll be visiting family for the following two weeks. So as to absolutely soak all of it up (contemporary air, lengthy walks, jet lag, sibling squabbles, the entire shebang), we’re pausing the positioning, and can be again on July seventh with a bunch of latest posts.

We can be sending our Big Salad newsletter in the course of the subsequent two weeks, so be happy to sign up here, when you’d like. And thanks, as all the time, for being right here. This group of sensible, humorous, considerate ladies (and some males — hello, Jason!) is the good pleasure of my life, and I really feel so fortunate to listen to your ideas on all issues, huge and small.
