Today we got to meet Tank up on the South Hill just relaxing enjoying the sun. We were installing attic insulation in his parents house, a 1960 rancher that had its original insulation! Energy costs have changed in 63 years so adding insulation will help keep those power bills at bay. If you are on Avista electric or gas to run your furnace and your insulation is an R11 or less then you are eligible for the rebate from Avista which typically foots about 75% of the bill. Most homes built before 1977 that haven’t been updated are eligible. #spokane #spokanegram #spokanewa #spokanevalley #spokanewashington #spokanerealestate #SpokaneRealtor #spokaneriver #spokanelife #Spokanehomeforsale #spokanestyle #spokanebound #spokaneisawesome #SpokaneRetail #spokanerocks #spokanewolfpack #spokanesouthhill #spokanerealty #spokanevalleybusiness #spokanevalleyrocks #spokanestrong #spokanecounty #spokanedogs #spokanecity #spokanefalls #spokanemom #spokanepeople #spokanelivingmagazine #spokaneinsulation (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLBt0yvdOq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inner Mean Girl: What the hell are you doing? You're doing everything all wrong.🤨 Me: Bursts into tears.😭 Lately, my inner mean girl is questioning every move I make. Inner Mean Girl: Look at you. You're a hot mess. I can't believe you went out of the house in an old T-shirt and pair of shorts! Me: But they're so comfortable. 🌄Morning 🔇Solitude 🧘‍♀️Alone with my thoughts Why do our favorite things have to wear out and fall apart? Is that what we do as humans? Wear out and fall apart? Some days I feel like that.🤔 Midlife has me pondering my meaning, my purpose. What is it that I am supposed to do? What contribution am I here to make?👵 There's always been some "role" that I've filled: smart kid, cheerleader, mom, coordinator, the glue that holds everything together, the people pleaser. People think I'm so strong. That I have my shit together. Do you know how hard that is to always be "that" person? I'm human. I can't be strong 100% of the time. Today I just needed to cry it out. I needed to purge all of these ugly thoughts and emotions so that I can press on and discover my new purpose. Sometimes I just need to feel all the feels and notice the thoughts so I can move myself along the emotional scale. It's OK. I'm OK. Feelings and thoughts are part of the human experience. The mean girl can talk, but I don't have to listen. Do you ever feel like that? Do you have the mean girl inside your head, too? The one who is always questioning you or judging you? #Midlife #SimpleLiving #MeFirst #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #SAHMLife #BusyMomLife #EmpoweringWomen #EmptyNester #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #WomenWhoLead #CreatingConfidentMoms #ProfessionalWomen #Over50AndFabulous #Over40AndFabulous #NextChapter #NeverTooLate #OldChick #OldChicksKnowShit #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50 #KickAssNextChapter #WomenOverForty #WomenOverFifty #MidLifeWomen #MidLifeEmpowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/CQt5y8MrsRg/?utm_medium=tumblr

The 2023 Rebates have been announced by Avista Utilities so any homeowner with a home built before 1977 has a good chance of qualifying for the rebate because prior to that Washington State didn't have an energy code prescribing insulation levels for the attic insulation, floor insulation, or wall insulation. Give us a call at 509-879-0495 and we'd be happy to give you an estimate and find out if you qualify. If you are with Inland Power the rebate is $.75/sq ft.

We've been serving Spokane & Couer d'Alene area homeowners for over 10 years. If your home is drafty, has varying temperatures throughout the home, or you have icicles and high energy bills give us a call and let us diagnose the problem.

How to Prevent Ice Dams in Spokane There are a couple of things to know about Ice Dams. First of all, they usually start near gutters. They can cause standing water which can be an ideal habitat for pests. If you have a gutter near your house, you may want to consider installing gutter guards. If this doesn't solve your problem, you may want to consider purchasing a homeowner's insurance policy with specific coverage for Ice Dams. Another danger posed by Ice Dams is that they can cause your roof to begin leaking. These dams can cause damage to your roof sheathing and the framing. Additionally, they can cause mold growth, which is harmful to the respiratory system. Even worse, mold growth can be a hazard for those with asthma or allergies. If you want to prevent Ice Dams, you must address the underlying causes. Heat loss is a major contributor to the formation of Ice Dams, so you should focus on fixing those problems first. The best way to do this is to hire a professional. Professionals have the right equipment to do the job safely and effectively. Keeping your home well-insulated will also help prevent Ice Dams from forming. A poorly insulated home will allow warm air to escape, which increases the risk of ice dams. #cda #cdaidaho #cdalake #cdaproud #spokane #spokanegram #spokanewa #spokanevalley #spokanewashington #spokanerealestate #SpokaneRealtor #spokanelife #Spokanehomeforsale #pacificinsulation #spokanebound #spokaneisawesome #spokanecity #spokanecounty #spokanefalls #spokaneliving #spokanemom #SpokaneOktoberfest #spokanepeople #spokanerealty #SpokaneRetail #spokanerocks #spokanesouthhill #spokanestrong #spokanevalleybusiness #spokanevalleyrocks

Hey, mamas. I think we all want the best for our kids and family.🥰 We want to be able to give our kids the best opportunities, the best experiences, and the best life possible.❤ Now that kids are getting back to activities, are you experiencing a hit to your family budget because of the cost of those activities?😫 What if you could save money on products that are safe for you and your family at the same time as earning some extra income to help pay for all those activities?💰  My son was very active in lacrosse and marching band while he was in school.🥍🥁 Those were two very costly activities, so I know what a strain that can put on the family finances.🤑 What activities are your kids involved in? #BoyMom #momlife #laxmom #PacificNWMoms #WashingtonMoms #SpokaneMoms #SpokaneMoms #momspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDfSUbF76D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oh, lordy, do I know this!!! I see women making themselves physically ill trying to do it all and be it all. Unfortunately, sometimes that push to succeed results in total devastation to the woman and those around her. I was recently catching up with an acquaintance. She was talking about what had been happening in her life. I got the sense that she feels the need to always be working on a new goal and searching for her purpose in life. (A common theme among middle women🤔) It's not until we learn to slow down, say NO, and just sit with where we are in life that we can begin to repair the aching sadness of an underwhelmed soul. Learn to just be. Sometimes it's okay to just breathe into the present moment and listen to our soul. How does this quote sit with you? #CreatingConfidentMoms #ProfessionalWomen #NextChapter #NeverTooLate #OldChicksKnowShit #MidLife #WomenOver40 #KickAssNextChapter #WomenOverForty #WomenOverFifty #MidLifeWomen #MidLifeEmpowerment #MidLifeReinvention #MidLifeReinvented #HappyAtHome #SimpleLiving #MeFirst #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #SAHMLife #BusyMomLife #EmpoweringWomen #EmptyNester #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #WomenWhoLead (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmqYUGrcpd/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've always wanted a nice yard, but I used to hate gardeniing, especially pulling weeds. But yesterday, as I was pulling weeds, it dawned on me that it's not that I hate gardening and pulling weeds. I just never had the time to do it. ⌛ My days used to look something like this... 🕔 Up at 5 a.m. to get ready to go to work. 👩‍💻 Work all day. 🛒 Run errands after work. 🍝 Make dinner. 🧼 Clean up after dinner. 🏃‍♀️ Try to fit in exercise or walk the dog. 🧹 Tidy up the house. 🛏 Get to bed at a descent hour so I could get up and do it all again the next day. 🔄 Does this sound familiar to you? #SimpleLiving #Simplify #ProgressOverPerfection #MakingChanges #CreativeByNature #SpokaneMoms #SpokaneWA #SpokaneDoesntSuck #MeFirst #WashingtonMom #PNWMom #MomLifeUnfiltered #BusyMomLife #EmptyNester #ProfessionalWomen #NextChaptee #NeverTooLate #OldChicksKnowShit #MidLife #WomenOverForty #WomenOverFifty #MidLifeWomen #MidLifeReinvention #GrowthMindset #PositiveMindset #PositiveMindsetPositiveLife #BeGoodToYourself #YoureWorthy #YoureWorthIt #BelieveInYourself (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ38MPolU9v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being a mom.👩‍👦 It's not always easy, but it's the best job in the world!🥰 I've always known I was born to be a mom.👶 🚴‍♂️I've raised an amazing human being. 👩‍🏫I've mothered 35+ teachers (some who even had me in their class as a teen, weird).😜 💫Being a mom taught me some lessons. 1. It's my job to nurture and teach, not always do it for you. 2. You won't always like me and that's okay. 3. Sometimes it hurts to watch those you love learn a lesson the hard way. 4. I'm good at teaching others. 5. Lead by example if you want others to follow. What lessons has being a mom taught you? #CreativeByNature #SpokaneMoms #SpokaneWA #SpokaneDoesntSuck #EmptyNester #MultigenerationalLiving #CreatingConfidentMoms #ProfessionalWomen #NextChapter #NeverTooLate #OldChicksKnowShit #WomenOver40 #KickAssNextChapter #MidLifeWomen #MidLifeReinvented #HappyAtHome #SimpleLiving #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #SAHMLife #BusyMomLife #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #WomenWhoLead #Teacher #Teaching #TiredTeacher #ITeachToo (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQb2sl0ByGH/?utm_medium=tumblr

It''s ok... It's okay to cry when you're happy. It's okay to cuss when you feel like it, even if that's on social media. It's okay to feed your kids cereal for breakfast when you've had a long day. It's okay to go out of the house in sweatpants with no makeup. It's okay to have a glass of wine during the middle of the day when you're not on the clock. It's okay to be happy with your natural hair. It's okay to feel fabulous with a plain face (aka, no makeup 😉). It's okay to be real, raw, and authentic even if that means some people won't like you or connect with you. It's okay to not have it all together. It's okay to have cake for breakfast. It's okay to enjoy being at home instead of out with a crowd. #LbriLife #LbriSkincare #AloeVera #AloeSkincare #SimpleLiving #MeFirst #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #SAHMLife #BusyMomLife #EmpoweringWomen (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtoTPBjGob/?igshid=brgjktfs7358

Women, why do we find it so hard to ask for help? We think we need to do it all, know it all, and be it all... ALL ON OUR OWN. Like we are a failure if we ask for help. Ladies, we are not perfect and we don't have to be perfect.📢 What is important is that we grow, evolve, and learn.🌱 I choose to keep working on being the best me possible. Middle age is a weird stage. 😭 Our identity as mom has shifted. ☹ We may have grown bored of our work. 🤔 We are looking for our purpose again. Sometimes it's hard to do that, find your purpose, all alone. An outside perspective is good.👍 I'm at this stage so I invested in myself by enrolling in a coaching program. I'm on week 3 with the Level Up program with @heidisawyercoaching. Even though I've been working on mindset for years, week 1 with Heidi taught me new techniques and solidified the why behind mindset and breath work. I'm gaining clarity around who I can best serve and what value I offer. 📢 News Flash: Despite what some who know me may think, I and my life are not and have not been perfect. I'm excited about this coming week! I can feel that I'm going to bust through some limiting beliefs that have possibly held me back for far too many years. I'm ready to gain even more clarity on how my struggles and life experiences can help others.🧡 As @JackCanfield says in The Success Principles(TM) - 10th Anniversary Edition, "You have control over only three things in your life—the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience." Don’t like what you are experiencing? Change... ✅ Your responses. ✅ Negative thoughts to positive ones. ✅ Your habits. ✅ What you read AND watch. ✅ How you talk to yourself and others. Does any of this resonate with you? #Purpose #WordsOfWisdomForWomen #SilverSisters #Growth #Mindset #Quotes #Quote #TiredOfTheRatRace #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #EmpoweringWomen #SimpleLiving #MeFirst #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #AntiAgingSkincare #FemaleLeaderShip #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #CreatingConfidentMoms #ProfessionalWomen (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COdKfs4j3IP/?igshid=gtq9420mhdin

I love being a mom! It is, by far, the best J.O.B. I could have ever asked for.🥰 My son was such a pleasure to raise and continues to be a source of inspiration for me. He always loved being active and still is to this day.👩‍👦 I threw myself into being his mom. I attended every sports practice and game, only ever missed one band performance, and was always up for jumping on the trampoline, playing XBox, or riding bikes. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ When I was looking through pictures to hang up for his high school graduation party, I realized that I wasn't IN any of the pictures with him because I was always the one taking the pictures.😯 I vowed to change that moving forward. (You can see how happy he was to start taking pictures with me in these photos from our road trip after high school graduation.😉) ❣ I wish someone would have told me about direct sales 30 years ago. I could have had more time with my son instead of working fulltime to help make ends meet. ❣ I wish I would have known that a clean house isn't the epitomy of a good mom and wife. I wouldn't have wasted one day each weekend cleaning. Instead, I would have spent them playing and making memories. ❣ I wish I would have known that memories stored in my mind from being present in the moment would be more valuable than a million pictures. But here I am now, a little wiser, valuing my time over things, and making more memories with those I love!🥰 I hope that someday my son is blessed with a child as amazing as he has been for me. 👨‍👦 #BoyMom #ThrowbackThursday #BestJobEver #LbriLife #LbriSkincare #AloeVera #AloeSkincare #SimpleLiving #MeFirst #MeFirstLiving #HealthyLiving #SpokaneMoms #WashingtonMom #PNWMoms #MomLifeUnfiltered #SAHMLife #BusyMomLife #EmpoweringWomen (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-nM4lDG_6/?igshid=1jfm8dnaptjqg
