The things about newborns I wasn’t prepared for

• they fall asleep mid-meal like they just blacked out at a party and then wake up 7 minutes later ready to continue like nothing happened

• they make intense eye contact while pooping. like, uncomfortably intense. soul-searching levels

• their sleep schedule is basically “what if we just didn’t”

• they randomly flail their arms like they’re trying to fight something you can’t see

• they root around your chest aggressively like they’ve never been fed but will do anything except latch

• they get the hiccups from literally existing

• they will scream to be held, and then immediately fall asleep the second you stand up like that was the only requirement

• they make weird concerning noises all night long but if you check on them they’re just fine??

• they somehow smell amazing and also slightly like spoiled milk at the same time

• they will refuse sleep with everything in them and then accidentally fall asleep in the most uncomfortable position known to man

• they stretch like middle-aged men with back problems

• they look shocked. all the time. like they just realized they were born and aren’t thrilled about it

• they act deeply offended by diaper changes like this wasn’t their idea in the first place

• they need you constantly but also have no idea who you are yet

• and somehow you’re completely obsessed with them

This little Peanut decided to arrive early and while we were on the other side of the world.
TSA bottlenecks, US Customs, long airport lines, 5 airplanes, 2 hotels, a 3am wake up time in a country that skips 3am during daylight savings, and two missed standby flights, couldn’t keep us from getting to meet our Lucy Lloyd.
Totally worth it! And kudos to her awesome parents and rockstar grandparents.

40 Years Married… and Still Sharing an Office 😄💍

Today we’re celebrating 40 years of marriage.
That’s 40 yrs of laughter, tears, disagreements, laundry, bills, and many wonderful memories together.
Working together has been fun and challenging with questions like,
“What did you do with the sample books” and “Did you schedule the install or did I?”
The traditional 40th anniversary gift is an investment in household goods, which feels very on-brand for two people who literally make a living improving homes. When your marriage lasts this long, you don’t need diamonds — you need quality window treatments and a good sense of humor.

Here’s to 40 years of teamwork, laughter, and still choosing each other (even on install days).
Happy Anniversary, to us! The best is yet to come!

This past week 30 entrepreneurs and I completed the 10000 small business program. It was intense and truly rewarding. Thank you to our advisors, mentors and cohorts for helping us focus on our business. The best is yet to come!

Six years ago, I made the leap from a corporate job to go full time with Mr. Blinds. On the surface, it seemed like a risky decision. Who would leave a stable salary at my age for the uncertainty ahead? I was consumed with fear. However, my unhappiness made it impossible to envision staying in that role for another decade. Fortunately, I had an amazing support system. Little did I know that a global pandemic would strike just one year later, coinciding with a booming building market. The journey has been filled with challenges and excitement but truly a great decision. This experience has truly tested my ability to rely on faith rather than fear.

Thank you for a wonderful Women Achieve Program. It was the end to a great year. Also a BIG shout out to my mentor, for her wisdom and mentorship.

Our customers also become our friends. Jeff and Penny are redoing his grandparent’s home. This home was granted to his grandparents under the “40 acres and a mule” promise. His grandmother birthed and raised 5 children in this little home. They have fixed this house up one room at a time with plantation shutters as their window treatments. We are at the end of their 3 yr project. We have loved getting to know them and their story and it’s a great to end our year with an appointment with these guys.
