Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend! We had some fun times around these parts. My sweet momma was celebrating her 60th birthday so we had a couple of fun activities planned for her.
We started out with a fun day at the spa, which was a nice treat for me, because I got to leave my little man at home and spoil myself a little bit.
{Nice cozy robes, but I feel like they added 50 pounds to my frame.}
We also took our special momma out to a fancy dinner and took advantage of restaurant. Of course with Hudson dinner was on the early side at 5:15pm. Early dinner meant a happy Hudson who was excited to be out and about.

We also had some work going on in the house this weekend. We have been dreaming of building a deck for two summers now, but we always get busy and we never have time to tackle the project. I finally decided this Fall that we were going to hire out instead of doing it ourselves and figured that since deck building dies down in the Fall it was the best time to get a good deal. I put a posting up on craigslist under gigs and in a matter of hours I had a bunch of people to pick from. I set up meetings with everyone the following weekend and then we made out decision. I’m happy with the guy we picked and it’s almost finished!
Deck progress:
{Hudson is really into tools so he had a blast “helping” the workers and project managing everything. }
On a totally random note I also managed to pick up another elephant related item for my house. This sweet cookie jar elephant for $7.99 at Christmas Tree Shops!
I don’t even want to count how many elephant items I have in my house. It’s a problem. 🙂

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
How lovely, thank you for sharing all this beauty!
