Cheers to a new week! Yesterday felt like we were living in a winter snow globe here in Grand Rapids with all the snow we got. Thankfully it seems like we’ll have a break from any more snow until later this week (fingers crossed). I’ve got a long to-do list this week, but trying to keep it realistic for what I can actually get done. Do you ever have weeks like this? I hope you have a fantastic week and scroll down for this week’s 411 in the 616.
