Rest-Of-Summer Recap & Fall Aspirations: Episode 428



Meagan and Sarah had fun-filled travel in August before saying goodbye to summer. The Powers family traveled to the East Coast for a week of multigenerational state-hopping served with a side of bug bites and butt bruises! And Meagan officially opened a bookstore in Manistique, MI, right after surviving a 20-mile hike with her siblings and their spouses. Now we’re back, shifting from summer-mom to school-year-mom, and sharing our “laundry basket of hopes and aspirations for Fall 2023” with all of you. Join us!

    This episode was so fun! Is Woodbury, CT the same Woodbury in Gilmore Girls (rival town to fictitious Stars Hallow)?

      Ha! Maybe? I’m not a big GG person, but you had me curious and I googled it – Stars Hollow is rumored to be based on Washington, CT, which is actually my MIL’s childhood hometown, and it’s close to Woodbury!
