April showers bring May flowers right? They freaking better. We have a weekend of rain in the forecast but it gives us an excuse to put the finishing touches on the basement, that project went much faster than anticipated. I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to start putting plants in the ground, so many ideas, but we have to tackle our grub problem first, ah the joys of homeownership. Wishing all of you a great weekend.
If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…
