Segments 1 & 2: Mother’s Day With Dan’s Mom

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we invited Dan’s mom to stop by and tell a few stories about Dan and tell us where she gets her decorating inspiration. The stories are something you won’t want to miss!

Segment 3: Tessa & Tools

It really is a family affair this week. Dan’s daughter, Tessa, job shadowed in the middle of the week. We gave her a number of projects to do of varying difficulties. She jumped right in and had a blast. If she can do it, so can you!

Segment 4: From the Archives – Dan’s Brilliance

From the first time we aired this segment, it made us laugh. Dan thought he’d share his infinite wisdom in his Emporium of Brilliance. The only problem was, it didn’t quite turn out the way he had planned!

EP108: Low Dollar High Impact Home Projects, Children’s Healing Center, and Flowerland

LISTEN HERE:

Segments 1 & 2:

Most of us don’t like spending a lot of money on our homes if we don’t have to; especially if we’re selling it. But there are some high impact, low dollar things you can do inside and outside your home that will make you think “wow”!

To help us with that, we are joined by realtors Sue Prins and Ginger Herman from Sue Prins 5 Star Real Estate. The twist to this interview is that we’re doing it live from the Grand Opening of our Broadmoor location!

Segment 3: Nicole, Dan, and Louis Ribbens

To celebrate the Grand Opening of our Broadmoor location, we are raising money for the Children’s Healing Center in Grand Rapids. It’s a safe place where kids with weak immune systems and their families can play and socialize.

We are joined live by Nicole and Dan Ribbens and their 3-year-old son, Louis. Louis stole the show (and our hearts)! Their story is a testament to just how important the CHC is to the community.

Segment 4: Flowerland

It is always an absolute blast when we get to host the hosts of the Flowerland Show (Rick, Doug, and Kristi) on our show! We even got to briefly talk about Rick’s new book Operation Rumination. And we learned that it was Naked Gardening Day….enough said!

LISTEN HERE:

Segment 1: 10 Things People With Clean Houses Always Do

We recently came across an article from HGTV called “10 Things People With Clean Houses Always Do.” Some of these are things you may already do, but some of them may be things that have never crossed your mind. We were only able to cover a few but you can find the entire list here!

Segments 2 & 3: Sara and Sun Pen

Blogger Sara Pen and her husband, Sun, are getting ready to tackle an exterior repaint project. They have a number of different, very dated, substrates to cover. They stopped by so we could answer all of their burning questions before they start the project.

You can follow their journey on Sara’s blog or follow Sara on Instagram: saraowenpen.

Spring must be here because Tulip Time is just around the corner! Tulip Time Executive Director, Gwen Auwerda, stops in two give us a brief history of Tulip Time and to tell us what’s in store for this year’s 90th anniversary. Check the website for more information.
