At the end of the day, the relationship that customers make with brands is what they are going to remember. If a potential customer asked a question about your product or service through social media, and you got back to them right away, they will remember that.

Fresh air, new blooms, and a new backyard. These are some of the things I am most excited about this Spring. We are rehauling our backyard so we can have more space for new flowers and plants, as well as a new toddler playhouse and place for Ryeson to ride his new tricycle.

Instagram GIFS were gone from Instagram Stories for a few months. Thankfully for us and the Instagram app - they are back! (pretend there is a dancing taco GIF right here).
