We play bocce and croquet together, read in the backyard or by our patio pond, and enjoy meals on the patio. Although we love to take in the warm summer sun, I always provide protection for me and my family from the sun's harmful rays. A lot of people forget to protect themselves from the sun when playing or relaxing close to home. Sure, we bring Continue reading...

May Goals
Today I am joining my friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom, in sharing my personal goals for May. I think setting monthly goals is a great exercise for getting things done! 1. Clean and Beautify Backyard. I have been all about cleaning and organizing my home lately. So, one of my May goals is to clean up and improve the backyard, so my family and I can enjoy our yard this coming spring and summer! I got a start on that goal last week -- I filled five trash bins with twigs and branches from our backyard and scheduled a yard waste pickup with my town.

Backyard Bridal Shower
My sister got married this month! Last month, I threw her a bridal shower at my home. The shower was way bigger than what I originally planned on throwing, with more than 40 guests. My home is not that large, so I was lucky that the weather was good. In fact, the weather was PERFECT! It was slightly cloudy outside and in the 70s, even though it was June. Many of the guests remarked how much they loved the backyard and the weather. My sister's then soon-to-be sister-in-law and niece-in-law were a HUGE help and helped provide the food for the party and helped set up the day of the Continue reading...

But I didn't stop there -- I made some budget DIY outdoor cushions for my patio's wrought iron dining set! I have been wanting outdoor cushions for my patio's dining set for a while now. I've never wanted to pay a lot Continue reading...
