Me and Sara at my dining room table in Quincy , planning one of our biggest shows

Me editing an issue right before delivering our fourth baby
My five babes , growing too fast , and ready for more time with mom
professional , a compassionate and kind person with grit and determination to thrive . She was committed to continuing the work Sara and I set out to do in early 2020 .
So this is my goodbye letter to our readers , to our magazine and to the work I did for over 7 years . I am not sad to leave knowing that Brandy will take over . In fact , I am excited to watch from my desk . I will view each new issue - where I can catch a glimpse of the amazing local vendors , the stunning weddings and lovely couples . Sara and I will help Brandy and all of our advertisers during the transition . You ’ ll hear from Sara and much more from Brandy in our upcoming issues . In the meantime , Sara ’ s preparing to welcome her first baby and snuggling her puppies as she recovers from another successful quarter of events . Brandy is already working on QAB ’ s expo in January . We ’ ll ensure Brandy has all she needs to bring QAB to the next level and can ’ t wait to watch her succeed !
