Today I’m so excited to share some things I’ve “Primed” recently. I used Amazon Prime A LOT this month in prep for my husband’s 30th this past weekend, a new dress, a retirement/birthday gift and a bunch of random pool related items!

What a weekend! We prepared most of the week (even last week) for my husband’s 30th birthday party and we are SO SO pleased with the outcome of the party! He had a blast and so did our friends and family – it was such a great evening!
The following day we had two other parties to attend so to say we were exhausted come Sunday was an understatement. We couldn’t stop saying how much fun we had this weekend and are so blessed with amazing family and friends!

Oh my goodness, I seriously cannot believe I’ve been gone for a week on here. Honestly, that was not planned and I have no clue how this happened, but I figured I would play catch up on here and share what we’ve been up to lately!
Last week my husband turned 30! We enjoyed some pizza (his favorite) and sherbet to celebrate – along with a HUGE candle!
Cannot wait for the BIG celebration this upcoming weekend!
We’ve been spending a lot of time out in the yard working on some projects we had on our to do list for this summer. Each year we have an idea of certain projects/to-do’s we want to take on and we definitely hit the ground running this past week/weekend!
Today, I’m doing another fun link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To where we recap the month with a little this and that! I love these kind of posts – they also make me happy because someday, I can look back at these little “journal” excerpts showing a glimpse of our lives lately!

What’s trending around our house lately? Homemade trail mix! Not only do the kids love this snack, they also had a blast filling their own containers with goodies. The whole process was a nice activity for them – they absolutely loved it and felt in control – which is good for them!

I have so much fun changing up the decor on my coffee stand every month! This month I did a summer-y citrus vibe. Again, it is so simple and inexpensive to switch out and I store these items in a bin that is easily accessible! The Dollar Tree has AMAZING little items to help give you the vibe you are looking for!

Happy Friday! The past two weeks have taken a toll on my heart but my prayer and hope is for less judgement for all people and more kindness, love and changes of the heart. Less division in our country and a stop to the bleeding wounds we have. Deep solutions to the problems and issues so many face – a push towards middle ground where we all can meet in agreement and understanding to help lift one another going forward. Putting in the work to become educated on all sides, be an independent thinker, not be naive, and find the absolute truths on all sides.
As of right now, my kiddos don’t see color, but I know I will continue to nurture love in our home, educate and provide encouragement in building authentic relationships as they grow up. After taking a little hiatus, I am excited to feel creative again! I was in such a rut about everything going on and also felt it was best to sit back, listen, read, research, talk with others and educate myself.

Is it me or did this week FLY. I seriously couldn’t even keep up with my blog this week because it was so fast paced, ha!
Today, I wanted to share a I put together that can be a great resource if you are planting a container/planter in your yard. The quality is average, I did the best I could, but I hope this is helpful for you as I’ve received several questions on how I plant things!

This week just felt like the start of summer! We were outside pretty much every hour of the day working on projects and getting the pool ready to go for this weekend!
Are we sick of me talking about planting and gardening ALL.THE.TIME?! (I’m sorry, I just love it!!). Thrifty Thursday today is all about these tall rattan planters from Aldi. They are seasonal and back in stock now – R U N! When you compare these to the price and style of other rattan planters on Amazon (for example), these are literally dirt cheap in comparison ($103 v. $16.99)

Today I am sharing an absolute favorite recipe in our house! I LOVE a good breakfast hash, and this was inspired by a hash I got in Denver at brunch during my cousin’s bachelorette party. I came home raving about it to my husband and figured, heck – I could make this!
Now, this particular hash I got had chorizo! You could have chosen bacon or sausage as well, but chorizo was speaking to me that morning.
We like to have ground sausage on hand, so that is what we used for this particular recipe!

Today I’m sharing some things I “Primed” recently. It is a random assortment of things for around the house, to meal replacement shakes to pool safety items.

Happy Friday! I am so very excited for the weekend – I think we’ve finally said goodbye to the cold icky weather (fingers crossed at least!) and this weekend and upcoming week yield lots to look forward to!

There has been so much “tidying up” going on around here and I thought I would share what happens around the house when spring hits since we are going through it!
Upkeep on a home is no joke – especially with a lot of outdoor space – whew. Honestly, I can’t even believe the amount of to-do’s we have going on and some of the things we never even get to! It doesn’t help that I am the type of person dealing with this internal battle, “Why should I pay someone when I can do it myself?” (my husband, exact opposite).

Welp, it snowed again and we are dealing with more freeze warnings around here. As most of you know by now, I LOVE flowers and gardening! Our fluctuating May temps and cold snaps here in Northeast Ohio has made for A LOT of difficulties in the gardening space. I have been checking the weather non-stop, and I hope we are in the clear of cold weather for good by this weekend. Peace out, COLD!
I thought today’s tip jar would be a perfect thing to share as I will begin all my planting this weekend! I’m loving how my garden journal has turned out and highly recommend creating your own if you have a lot of garden beds that need more plants, forget when the right time for pruning is, are doing a cut flower or vegetable garden, or you want to better understand your landscaping.
Let’s take a look at some of the main things I highlight in my binder!
