Hello Reader,

Happy Easter if you are celebrating today! I'm grateful for this holiday, all it represents, and the reflection that it brings into my life. I'm also grateful for the beautiful spring weather we are having here, and hope that your spring is beginning to arrive (or your fall in the southern hemisphere). Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review this week's newsletter!

Today I'm sharing the $5 April pattern, notes from the week, and some things to look forward too. Keep reading for all of the details.
