DIY Outdoor Planters
The warmer weather has me wanting to work on all sorts of outdoor projects lately. I've been sprucing up the outside of the house and decided I needed new planters for in front of the garage. The other planters were small and light weight and every time we had wind, they would blow over. After two years of sweeping up dirt and re-potting the poor bushes several times a month, it was time for planters that were more substantial. These DIY outdoor planters were easy to make and look great! This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are 100% my own. Some links within this post are affiliate.

Backyard Landscaping Project REVEAL!
Over the last 13 years we have slowly transformed our backyard from a weed filled gravel pit into a yard the whole family can enjoy. We are almost done with the backyard landscaping but have a couple spots that still needed our attention. I tackled the garage & coop area first because it is so close to the patio and has been a bit of an eye sore. I teamed up with Vigoro to share how I made over this space! This post is sponsored by The Home Depot & Vigoro but all ideas and opinions are 100% my own. BEFORE: This cement pad was poured by the previous owner and we have been baffled as to what to do with it. I don't want a shed that small or that close … {READ MORE}

Garden Augers – FAST, Easy Planting! {Giveaway}
The first time I used a garden auger was in the Fall. Because I had re-landscaped our front yard, I had to relocate all of our tulip bulbs. I was not looking forward to digging that many 6 inch deep holes, especially in the cold Autumn temperatures. I tried garden augers out and it changed my gardening life! It was so fast, fun, and easy! Plus I got to use a power tool, so it was a win-win. This post is sponsored by Power Planter but all opinions are 100% my own. Garden Augers Fast forward to this spring, and it was vegetable garden time. I knew I was going to utilize a garden auger for this as well.

Celebrations, Disappointments, & Milestones
Wow. What a crazy few months it has been! Everything seemed to pause, and then shift. So much has happened that I thought it was a good time for an update. Thanks for all the sweet messages asking how we have been doing since this whole pandemic thing exploded. March 13th ended up being my kids' last day of "real" school. We did the whole at home learning thing. A couple did great, and a couple of them struggled. Patience was tested, deep breaths were taken, and life lessons were learned. It is something that I will look back on as mostly a good thing but I'm also hoping we don't ever have to do it again! The last day of school for us was on May 22nd and we all did a giant happy … {READ MORE}

Metal Card Catalog Makeover
If you have been following along on my Instagram Stories then you know that we have been slowly converting the garage attic into a fort for my boys. A place to hang out with each other and their friends. The main thing my youngest 2 boys requested was a place to store their treasures. Rocks, feathers, and random things that others (including me) might consider trash. I was trying to see if any of my old pieces of furniture would fit up there when I got a call from my mom asking if I wanted the metal drawers that have been in her garage for years. I instantly knew they would be perfect! I'm sharing this metal card catalog makeover today as well as hosting a fun giveaway you won't want to … {READ MORE}
Crushing On: White Bedding
I love white bedding. It reminds me of going to a nice hotel and the smell of the freshly washed white duvet and sheets. It seems cozy yet luxurious at the same time. The best thing about white bedding is that you can dress it up or make it casual. You can add color or keep it neutral. It's the white tee shirt of the design world. Today I'm sharing my favorite examples and white bedding ideas! Some links in the post are affiliate links. White Bedding Ideas If you have white bedding, you can go with a dark, dramatic wall color. The lighter bedding will keep the room from feeling dark. Image Source: Brownhills Rugs This bedding looks great with this saturated … {READ MORE}
