Benefits of not having a kitchen during renovations: no cooking, which means quick dinners from @gdsalads✌🏻nights in a row🥗. I’m ready to see it all finished! #nelsonsinlou #kitchenrenovation #modernfarmhouse
Most of Labor Day weekend was low key, which as my fellow homebodies know, is the best kind of weekend! #homebody But we did go to our church Labor Day picnic on Sunday and took little Hugo with us. It ended up being great weather (in the shade at least, ha) 🐶⠀ ⠀ I did squeeze in a little work on Monday but it was fun, because what wouldn't be fun about editing two friends in love with a cuddly dog on your lap? ⠀ ⠀ P.S. definitely wearing white jeans today because #rebel
A furry creature has taken over our guest room office. He invites belly rubs every 2-3 minutes between emails and @honeybook inquiries. It's a bit odd from co-worker behavior standards but I'm not planning to tell HR. He’s good company 🐶⠀ #hugonelson #nelsonsinlou
Hugo's weekday routine 🐶 ⠀ ⠀ Wake up to snuggle my humans.⠀ ⠀ Go back to sleep on the couch as humans consume a brown liquid made from beans. Odd. Continue nap.⠀ ⠀ Wait for humans to return from wherever it is they go every day, checking windows and sniffing the front door when Mr. Mail Man approaches the homestead.⠀ ⠀ Yes! My human is home! Wait, just for lunch? It's ok, I know you'll be back.⠀ ⠀ Humans home for good! Show appreciation to humans. Do they know how much I missed them? They sure seemed to miss me too!⠀ ⠀ Bathroom break! Not me, you. Can I follow you? Personal space is not a thing.⠀ ⠀ Dinner! But if my humans leave the room, I follow them because I want to cuddle with them even more than eat my kibble. Unless you put canned salmon juice on top that is. ⠀ ⠀ Waaaalk! I like when the neighborhood kids come up excited to see me! It's important I make my social rounds and leave text messages (aka pee scent) at the fire hydrant so my beagle buddy Paisley can text back.⠀ ⠀ Cuddle some more. Humans laugh at a box emitting light in the living room. Something about Michael Scott. Odd. Continue cuddles. ⠀ ⠀ Bed! But first, more cuddles.⠀ ⠀ #hugonelson #nelsonsinlou #adoptdontshop @louieslegacy
Do y'all have any fun plans this weekend?⠀ ⠀ We don't have any plans at all, and those are usually my favorite weekends! Because #homebody 😬🏡🐶
After years of learning through blog posts, online courses, podcasts, shadowing, trying things, etc, I decided to invest in one-on-one mentoring. After our first Skype call last night, I already feel like it's worth it!⠀ ⠀ If there's something you want to do, learn more about, pivot toward or excel in, it makes sense to learn from someone who has already driven down the road you're on and has a map to show you what's possible. Bonus points if they love dogs (@emilymoorephoto) 🐶⠀ ⠀ Is there something you've been putting off because you're hesitant to ask for help?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Credits:⠀ Wedding Planning/Design: @VSIEvents⠀ Photography: @laura.cook.photo⠀ Assistant Photographer: @mrs.chelseynelson⠀ Venue: @btownpointe⠀ Dress/Jewelry/Hair Accessories: @couturecloset_ky⠀ Chairs and Farm Table: @southernclassicrentals⠀ Decor Rentals and Florals: #michaelisevents @thecateringcompany⠀ Hair and Makeup: @thairapy_by_alexis @beautypatrolmua⠀ Flatware Rentals: @reliablerentalsky
