It’s a little late in the game for Small Business Saturday, but it’s not too late to do your Christmas shopping, or ANY time of the year shopping.

A whoooollle lot of small quality businesses. This is by no means an exhaustive list (there are SO many great businesses out there) but I can personally say I’ve worked with, or purchased from, or used something from every business on this list! Yummy coffee, trendy clothing, and beautiful artwork: https://locoespress.com Fun treats, lots of colorful games and toys, AND lactose free ice cream from my favorite place: https://www.goodysgourmettreats.com Speaking of… my favorite ice cream place (they sell their flavors at Goodys, but they have SO much more at their main shop): https://shopvictual.com Bike rentals, delicious food and coffee, cute clothing (and earrings!), and bike shop: https://www.redraven.bike Favorite local getaway, on the Cuyuna trails, feels like you’re out in the woods: https://cuyunacove.com Seriously good coffee.

If you follow me on insta… you’ll see I actually said that it was “coming to a blog near you soon” ON APRIL 15th. 🤦🏽♀️ Which would have been in time for their April 27th anniversary.

Darius and Sally’s wedding was not only (obviously) a gorgeous wedding in an unbelievable setting, but it was also a super special one given that Darius and my husband have been best friends since 7th grade. Like Darius said in the speech at our wedding they’ve pretty much done everything together and on similar timelines (except now with the kids thing 😂😂😂 apparently we have some catching up to do!).
