#sponsoredpost There’s still more to do in the #sponsoredpost There’s still more to do in the kitchen before I call it complete, but one big step was installing our new faucets from @brizoanddeltachicago. The Odin touch faucet was a novelty at first, especially to the kids, but it’s becoming second nature to turn the water on and off with a tap now. And filtered water with its own tap? So nice! I have an apron-front sink and soapstone counters coming in soon, but between the faucet upgrade and a new color on the cabinets, the kitchen already feels so much better. #designwithbrizodeltachicago #brizoanddeltachicago #mydeltavoiceIQ #brizo #deltafaucet #mybrizodeltachicago #sourcedatbrizoanddeltachicago

I created a bunch of baby shower sets for a big ca I created a bunch of baby shower sets for a big campaign right around the time we were selling our last house. It was fun, but it was a whirlwind of a time and I lost this @riflepaperco tablecloth in the move. BUT I JUST FOUND IT! It doesn’t really go with this house at all, does it? 🤔 But it’s still a cutie and I’m happy about it.
A productive weekend of trimming and pruning! And A productive weekend of trimming and pruning! And there’s still so much I want to get to out there. I sheared the boxwood hedges and will go back in to hand prune a little more (for health and shape). We also borrowed a mini chainsaw to cut out some large dead lilac branches. I was intimidated before I saw it, but it was a wee baby of a tool and pretty fun to use.

I think we’ve had our last frost? It snowed on T I think we’ve had our last frost? It snowed on Tuesday, hopefully for the last time this spring. Sweet autumn clematis went a little wild last year and took over a huge rose bush. I didn’t realize soon enough that it was smothering it! I cut out what was dead and this year it is not looking so good. Might be a good spot for a flowering tree or large bush though? We do have a shade tree on the parkway that may not make it a good idea. I need to get out there and take measurements to see if there would be room, considering mature sizes. Swipe through for my quick photoshopped versions - one with a flowering tree, and then with the elm eventually growing to block a good portion of the front.
I have a tip for my fellow business owners, especi I have a tip for my fellow business owners, especially if you’re new to it or at a growth stage. My sponsor @wave_hq has software that does all the things I need to do to run my small business, and it could be a great fit for you too. I didn’t need to do everything I do today when I was first starting out, and I’m sure that’s typical of a lot of small business owners. Maybe you start with a spreadsheet to keep track of expenses before you realize you need something better for bookkeeping. Then as you grow, you realize you need to send invoices and receive payments or run payroll. A lot of people find these services piecemeal as they need them, paying fees to different places and trying to make sure it all works together. If you’re with Wave, you can keep everything in one place as you grow! Plus it’s simple and free to use. I’ve added a link to Wave’s website in my bio for you to learn more and create your free account. #WavePartner #ad
