Restrictions Lifted!
The light at the end of the tunnel is finally shining right in front of our faces. Beginning May 19th, 2021 most pandemic-related capacity restrictions in New York and New Jersey were removed. Despite some industry-specific requirements remaining in effect, life around here is almost entirely "normal" again. This means no executive-ordered limits to how many people can be in stores, restaurants, gyms, hair salons, offices, and more!
Also, Thursday March 13th, the CDC announced that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks or physically distance, indoors or outdoors. "We have all longed for this moment when we can get back to some sense of normalcy," said the CDC's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky.

Mother's Day
To all the Mamas and Mama figures out there we hope you had an incredible Mothers Day! Being a mother is the hardest, yet most rewarding job in the world. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working mom, life is constantly a juggling act. The level of multitasking, coordination, effort, care and the brain capacity it takes to raise children and do literally anything else is extraordinary.
To anyone without a mom, this day can be hard. We send our condolences. And to anyone having difficulty becoming a mom, keep your head up - the journey is long but in the end what's meant to be, will be.
