The BG Beat: Spring

My mom has motorized shades and state flags ceiling-hanging sideways  to offset her garage office from the rest of the hardworking flex room (this is California). I’m taking a page for my garage office down the street and adding some flags to the kids rooms to boot. And, the price is right on flags as art. Our homes are awash with spirit. I knew this deeply when we first stepped into ours. My children recently discovered Encanto and it’s been on my mind ever since. We are enamored – especially me – with the questions they’re asking about real magic, your inherent unique gifts, and your worth with or without them.

Our third terrier puppy turned one which makes her a dog now, yet she is still feverish for chewing on succulent plant roots. She took out an enclave beneath our sumac tree. Just as I resolved to replant, I spotted, under the tree, a glorious fresh trail of ivy that had jumped three feet away to take over the job for me.  Symbiosis, plants talking, how wondrous! It made me want to listen to Leon Bridges sing Ivy.

From Your Lips

“This company provides excellence in Customer Service. Everyone I’ve dealt with is professional and follows through to be sure the customer is happy. I ordered 12 blinds of various styles and sizes. They came quickly and 11 of them were perfect. The 12th blind was mis-measured by me. I sent them the correct width size. They replaced it quickly, for free, and with a great attitude. Love that they’re owned by a mother & daughter team. Price, quality and guarantee can’t be beat!”
