Creating connections with nature and each other is greater than ever and with summer just around the corner, now is the time to tackle those gardening & outdoor projects to take advantage of those connections during the Summer and Fall months.
A Social Front Yard
Did you know that one of the top places to gather over the past couple of years during the pandemic was the front porch! It really made us nostalgic for days gone by when families routinely sat on front porches and gathered with their neighbors and friends. Those days are back, we’re happy to say so the need to amp up those front porches is greater than ever. Get ready for socializing with comfortable seating, inviting colors, tables, good lighting, a great area rug, and an assortment of colorful container plants. Don’t have a porch?

This week we’re spending time celebrating moms. All those wonderful women in our lives that have made our lives so much richer, taught us about life, learning, love, and caring for people and the world around us. Where would we be without their love, support, and guidance?!
While we know they deserve more than just one special day of celebration, we wanted to share some ways in which you can celebrate with and for mom to show her just how much she means to you.
The three big things to remember this Mother’s Day:
1. Let mom sleep in! When was the last time she got to do that?
2. Don’t let her lift a finger. Meaning she shouldn’t have to cook, clean, or plan anything for her special day.
