Random Things Happening Behind the Scenes at Bricks ‘n Blooms

It was a super snowy week here in New Jersey! First, we got hit with a snowstorm that dropped about 30″ and today, we are expecting another 4-7″!

And it wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t doing all the snow removal myself! Thank goodness I have this  and these to help me because they are lifesavers during these storms!

Why am I doing all the snow removal myself?

Well…the virus hit my house over two weeks ago so we’ve been quietly quarantining here. Thankfully, we are all good now and coming out of quarantine.

Luckily, my youngest and I did not get it so we just needed to hunker down and keep everything clean.

And snow free.

Doing loads and loads of laundry this week! Thankfully, I have a pretty place to do it!

Are you doing anything fun for the Super Bowl this year? We are staying in so my daughter and I are making a bunch of fun apps. If you have any favorites that you love to make, let me know in the comments. I’m always looking for new things to make!

We’ll watch it in front of a cozy fire. As much as I enjoy a good game, the commercials are always so good, aren’t they?

    1. Thanks for the comment – the roses are faux and were bought on sale for $5 per bunch several years ago. They can be re-used yearly which is pretty budget-friendly. Aside from that, photos you see on blogs and social media are an inspiration – you don’t have to do the same thing.
