Jeffco Crew #066 - Mother's Day, Baby Goats & Second Saturdays
Been a hectic week over here, so coming in a little late on this week's digest.
Obviously the big highlight is Mother's Day, so sending all the moms on this email list a lot of love for the amazingly hard work it is just to mom, nevermind everything else the world asks from you.
My son's lucky to have an entrepreneurial mom who's built her business from scratch, and I know how hard it is to juggle just those two things. Then you've got your health, your hobbies (if you're lucky), the chores, the everything else.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Treat yourself, moms. Treat yo-self. ❤️
Let's get into it.
