Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a fantastic weekend and a great end to April vacation. Laurel had a wonderful, relaxed vacation week (guitars! bowling! jammies all day!) and yesterday, we all got to soak in the beauty of Ipswich while I ran the North Shore 10 Miler. Such a gorgeous, perfect day for a race, even though it didn't go 100% as I had hoped! I hope you have a great week on tap; let's kick it off with the Weekly Blueprint!
