Happy Place

Over the past year, we've made slow and steady change to our backyard to make it more usable for our family's needs. 

It started with a chainlink fence, too short cherry blossom tree, and lots of large bushes....

So after a tree removal, digging up shrubs and a new fence, it became this. 

For the short term, Sam grew grass so the kids would have more space to play. 

Then the best money we've spent went to the patio this spring. 

And now it's totally my happy place. Twinkle lights. Herb ladder. Outdoor chalkboard. Comfy cushions. Updated table. Small bushes and flowers. Many summer cocktails and BBQs to come!

And Sam made me outdoor chalkboards for the patio.

All About Mom

Grahamie came home from school today with two sweet surprises. An "All About Mom" questionnaire which he answered perfectly.  I should maybe add some more color to my wardrobe according to his answers and need to stop watching so much "PJ Masks" cartoons. 

And Graham created a memory box from his school year filled with pictures of my sweet boy from all his adventures.
