This has been the summer of backyard parties at our house!
We’ve hosted S’mores Parties and Backyard Movie Nights.
And at each event we have hauled out our miserably mistreated corn hole boards.
But let me warn you.
If you are a hard core corn hole player…cover your eyes.
I’m sure what I’ve done to this corn hole board is against all of the rules.
My husband showed actual concern that I might have “messed the boards up.”
And if you are a competitive corn hole player…then I probably did mess them up.
But if you love to host a cute backyard party…then these boards are perfect!
I hope your summer is living up to all you were hoping it would be!
We are filling our days with camps…bike rides…trips to the pool…
…and backyard parties. 🙂
We love to drink out of mason jars, but your jar can easily get lost in the crowd.
So here is a way that your crew can identify just which one is theirs…
…with this simple Mason jar craft!
Summer is here and it’s time to take the fun outdoors!
So my Southern friends are back together to share some Outdoor Living ideas with you!
I decided that I would give you my backyard tour that is full of Simple Landscaping Ideas!
Every year at this time…it’s the same thing.
A precious bird builds her nest on our column on the front porch.
Right above my rocking chair.
And every year I don’t have the heart to remove her nest.
I just let her build away and hatch her babies right there beside my front door.
It makes my rocking chair a very dangerous place to sit for a few weeks…
…but I’m ok with that.
So here are some easy outdoor projects to welcome some birds to your house!
One day, I’m going to have a screened door on my house…
…preferably on my screened in porch.
Because, I love the sound those doors make when they open…
…and especially when they close.
There’s something so “homey” about that sound.
So, until I have a screen door of my own,
I get the chance to decorate a screened porch for a good friend. 🙂
I live in a house right in the middle of the suburbs.
{Which happens to be perfect for my family right now.}
But. . .
I long to live in an old farmhouse,
on a bit of land,
in the middle of the country,
where you can’t see your nearest neighbor for miles. . .
Until then, I try to create inviting outdoor areas right here in the suburbs.
Here are 5 ideas for creating your own outdoor retreats.
