I'm the proud new grammie to this dinky ball of fur 💝 She's a cavapoo and they named her Nova. All 2 1/2 lbs of her is just too cute! Reminds me of one of those scammy little AI puppy toys posts, lol. Welcome to the family little one!

Nothing's worse than hitting that Garage door button in the winter and a spring SNAPS - garage won't open - it's cold out - and now you're going to be late to wherever you were going! 😮 Save yourself the trouble with a little PREVENTATIVE maintenance and call our friend Phil at Koehlinger Garage Door, Inc.!

We use traditional ways to promote our business across two states, but let’s be honest—nothing beats a recommendation from a friend.

One of our biggest points of pride is the relationships that grow from our fast and fair priced service. When someone trusts us enough to tell a family member or friend about us, it is truly means so much. It tells us we are doing the job right.

If we’ve helped you in the past, thank you for spreading the word! And if you’re new here, we can’t wait to earn your trust too.

I ran into my friend Tim Stewart at a networking event I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak at and he shared this poem with me that he wrote. I really intended to just grab my favorite lines to share, then realized I couldn't pick a favorite. Take a minute, quiet your mind and read it. It spoke to me personally and from a business perspective as well. Thank you for sharing Tim and for giving me permission to share as well 💜 Tim 'Coach Papa' Stewart

This woman is one of the hardest working networkers I know! If you're in the McHenry & Lake County areas, I'm sure you've met Alex 💜 She's quickly become one of my favorite people to grab a cup of coffee with, chat about business and anything else that comes up, but now I've finally been able to bring one of my clients to her and we're getting started spreading their message with HomeTown Hug this month!! If you're a local business that would benefit from getting in front of new homeowners, get in touch!!

I'm apparently spending way too much time at my desk these days because getting out felt like a true adventure today! 😂 I wanted to share a HUGE THANK YOU to the Wauconda Area Chamber of Commerce for inviting me to speak at their multi-chamber Fushion Lunch with Barrington & Area Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce and the Chain O'Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. 💜 I ran into so many old friends and met a few new ones and am just feeling so grateful for the day! 💖 Plus I got to do what I love most (my dad would say that's talking, lol, but it's really helping other business owners to better market themselves!)

When you call your business partner, he doesn't answer, then sends you this. 🤣 Brian is a true adventurer and my favorite thing about being an entrepreneur is being able to create your own schedule so we can do things like this!
