Happy Monday, Houghton Jones Family! ☀️🐶
Today we’re celebrating National Puppy Day — a perfect reminder to appreciate the joy, love, and happiness our furry friends bring into our lives. 🐾💛
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Women’s Tea Brunch this past weekend. 🌸🫖 We had an amazing time celebrating together and are truly grateful for your support. Your presence helped make the event incredibly special.
✨ Women’s History Month Spotlight
Today we recognize Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who served as a United States Supreme Court Justice from 1993 to 2020.
Before joining the Court, she was a pioneering lawyer who argued several landmark cases that advanced gender equality. As a justice, she became known for her powerful opinions defending civil rights, equal protection under the law, and fairness for all.
Her dedication to justice, education, and perseverance continues to inspire generations.
📚 March Is Reading Month!
Make sure to pick up a good book this week!
For our kids, we recommend Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, part of the popular Pete the Cat series. It’s a fun favorite that teaches determination and maintaining a positive attitude—even when things get messy, from puddles and mud to berries and beyond!
For our young adults, we recommend The Giver. While it may feel like a school-read classic, it’s a powerful and engaging story that stays with you long after the final page.
