Sundays with April

Good morning! I woke up at 3:30 with the craziest energy today, so I popped out of bed and have had two cups of coffee already. It is 6:00 am.

I have so many things running through my brain, and I tried to shut it off, but I just couldn’t. Does this ever happen to you?

Check out some exciting news I can’t wait to share at the bottom of this post!

Is my coffee intake showing through in this post yet, lol?!

Lucy, my pomeranian, must have heard the wheels in my head spinning because she took it as an opportunity to get up and beg me to feed her. So here we are.

Today is going to be gorgeous in Colorado. If I were still a skier, I would be up in the mountains in a heartbeat. But my knees hate skiing, so I will stay in the city and enjoy the day. Yesterday was about 65 degrees, and today will be much of the same.  How is the weather where you are?

Even though we are having a beautiful weekend, don’t spend too much time wishing you were here. March and April are our snowiest months in Colorado so it’s still coming. In fact, because of that, I follow the rule to never plant flowers until after Mother’s Day. When we lived in Arizona I loved that I could plant flowers any time in the Spring!

How is your year going so far? Mine was focused on JOY and it is so good to come back to that purpose every day. If you missed the post, you can read all about my “Word of the Year 2024” and see why it is so important to me right now with everything going on.

This week I released another TWO blog posts for the basement bathroom series! This series has been long time coming!

EXCITING NEWS!!

In the blogging space, I work with brands and earn commissions on affiliate links to help support the time and cost of projects as well as what it takes to share all of the support I offer to help people achieve amazing things in their homes.

I also use the commissions to help run this blog by paying for the backend things you never see that are needed to efficiently run a blog and all the fees that come along with that.

Here is the exciting part! I have been holding off for a long time accepting work with some specific stores and brands in hopes of getting to work with one of my favorite stores and it paid off!  You guys, Lowe’s reached out to me to be part of their creator community and I am beyond excited!! AAAAHHHHH!

I shop there all the time and LOVE the products they offer. I feel like Lowe’s is more of a creative/decorator’s store and they have more to offer for finishes than other stores I have shopped at.

To give you a little laugh, I am a cheap date for my husband. He can buy me a coffee and take me to Lowe’s on a Friday night to go up and down the aisles and I am a happy girl! I don’t need to even buy anything. My mind starts to dream and my pulse starts to rush.

On second thought, maybe I need to take that back. I guess the date is cheap, but the projects dreamt up on our dates cost way more than the coffee, lol!

I appreciate all the support you have given me over the years and love that you return again and again to check in on the latest project!  When you see me sharing Lowe’s projects and products, please know that it is an opportunity I have been waiting for and I am sharing them out of my true love for the brand. Tell me in the comments what your favorite item is that you have bought from Lowe’s!

I buy a lot, but one thing I absolutely fell head over heels in love with when I saw it is my basement bathroom floor tile. 

I hope you have a great week ahead I can’t wait to create more with you.  Happy weekend!
