This monthly review walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
Before we get to the review of what we did in April, I have a fun announcement for you, especially if you are a designer —
we are now accepting printables contributors!
You can get the full details and submit your printable(s) here, but in a nutshell we are looking for creative and striking original printables to be shared exclusively on Bekob. If you are a designer with a fun new printable to share, contact us! We are excited to get to work with you and introduce you to all our wonderful Bekob.
And now, the recap of what we did here on Bekob in April — don’t forget to come follow me on Instagram to see sneak peeks of what’s coming up in May!

We had a happy Easter, and I hope you all did too! #becauseofhim
And with spring comes the cleaning… but I didn’t leave my girls out of it! I got them involved and shared our tips for cleaning with kids, plus gave one of you an solid prize pack and Home Depot gift card!
We are so excited to be back in our striking backyard again now that it is warm! We started off the spring by building a striking arbor for our cucumbers and grape tomatoes to grow on — and, of course, we shared the walkthrough so you can build your own:
And I also shared some fun options for sprucing up your porch over on Wayfair’s option Lounge.
