Small yard landscaping ideas
I know that some of our neighbors didn't want to purchase the steep-hilled lots on the side that we are located on in our duplex home neighborhood. To me though the hill in our yard presents a beautiful backdrop and it is what we see when we look outside from the back of our house. I had so many different ideas in my head when we moved in and I thought I'd share my small yard landscaping ideas ...

Tropical, black and white striped porch
Today I'm sharing my tropical, black and white striped porch with you. The front porch is definitely a big hangout spot for us even though it is very small. It is covered and when it rains we can sit out here comfortably. Another reason why we hang out on our porch is the fact that all the kids play out front and we need to keep an eye on them. You can read my concrete stripe tutorial HERE. I'm ...
Our un-staged garden
Today is our first day back to school and the kids were so so bummed. I have my mixed feelings, that's for sure. So because I haven't had much time yet to do anything else besides unpack, clean and purge out rooms and drawers, I thought I'd share our end of summer garden with you today. If you've seen my summer tour (click HERE) then you have seen it in the early stages of blooming and with a ...
