Hey friends 🤍

After what feels like weeks of true winter weather, it looks like we’re finally getting a little break this weekend, still cool, still very much February, but not quite freezing anymore. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to step outside again… even if it still means a jacket.

I put this week’s newsletter together with that in mind: a couple of great open houses worth getting out for, a Wine & Chocolate event you really don’t want to miss, cozy spots to eat, and a few community events to mark on your calendar.

Quick thank-you before we dive in — if you enjoy getting this newsletter, sharing it truly means the world to me. We’ve started a simple referral program, and anyone who refers a friend will receive a set of 3 Lake Sinclair Life postcards as a little thank-you for spreading the local love. Use the button below to share it with a friend!

Now, let’s get into this week.
