Chat, I’ve been moving this week, and lemme tell ya, it is not fun. Don’t worry, I’m still in Seattle, just upgrading to a larger space. 😌 Can someone just invent a portal so I can throw everything through it to my new spot? My lower back would be very grateful.

I hope the start of your week has been much more exciting than mine! If not, I’m here to make it more magical with an awesome giveaway:

The Snohomish Block Party brings classic hits, funk, rock favorites, and small-town summer vibes to Harvey Airfield on 8/14. With tribute bands, food trucks, local vendors, and plenty of cold drinks, this is the sort of festival that keeps people hanging around all day. You could win tickets!*
