Weekly Recap

In case you missed it, here at Mom Home Guide, I’ve been working to update my home’s patio. I’ve set up my family’s patio pond (but haven’t yet added the fish or plants) and added some DIY white washed planters with impatiens to our backyard patio. Yesterday one of my daughters and I visited a fantastic garden/nursery that I’ve never been to before (Gaskos Family Farm and Greenhouses in Central New Jersey). We purchased some potted succulents for both daughters’ rooms and I purchased a shepherd’s crook/ hanging planter hook for the yard and a hanging basket of impatiens.

My dream update is to add a pair of chaise lounge to the backyard. I would love something like the chaise lounges below.

We will see! I will be sharing more of the updates that I’ve made to my backyard patio later this month.This is a photo of the new planter. It’s so bright and colorful!

Now it’s time for the party!
