This week we talk about the Target layoffs that affected many friends in Minneapolis, and the unexpectedly great things that happened in our community as a result. We then chat about how gift giving can be daunting and some foolproof and thoughtful ways to approach it. Kate hosted the inagural How To Lady event recently and boyhowdy were we ladied! Tapping into the hivemind and creating a space around topics that can be intimidating was wonderful, and what we hope to create with this series. More to come. Tweets of the week, too. We’re talking the talk and walking the walk, yo!
