We were lucky enough to have a wonderful weekend weather wise. I was able to go out without a coat all weekend! With Spring in the air and being in my third trimester had me in complete clean up and nesting mode! All of this means the weekend was spent with multiple trips to Home Depot and lots of hard work.
I got to start the weekend off by taking my new elephant TOMS. They were a Christmas gift and I’ve been itching to show off my little Ellies.
Once we were all dressed and ready we headed out to Home Depot:
We all got a nice treat when we walked in and were told a kids event was being hosted that day. Off we went to check it out and discovered a whole bunch of kids working away on bird feeders. Hudson and Jon got to work right away.
Once it was all built we got to go to the painting station and make it bright and colorful:
It was a really fun experience and we all enjoyed it. Hudson had a blast and came home with a finished bird feeder, cute Home Depot apron and a pin that showcased the project he finished.
When we got home we got work cleaning up outside:
I then cleaned up and organized my office:
Of course we also had a little fun and did some bouncing on our newly cleaned deck all prepped for stain:
On Sunday my nesting mode was still on high so, I took advantage of all of the energy and cleaned my white kitchen from top to bottom. Having a mostly all white kitchen is lovely, but it’s also a pain, because there is no hiding dirt. Everything shows and with two dogs and a toddler it was a mess. I spent hours in there cleaning every single surface.
While I did that Jon continued to work on our deck project:
During Hudson’s nap time I kept chugging along and enjoyed my newly cleaned and organized office and did a little work and enjoyed the sunshine.
Of course once Hudson woke up from his nap, my office became his office:
The day continued and Jon kept up with the deck outside and I kept up organizing all of my painting supplies, craft supplies and fabric closet. By the end of the day all I wanted to do was make some room on this doggy bed and get in a little rest.
Whew! What an exhausting weekend, but so happy to have the deck all stained and lots organized and cleaned inside the house.
Hope you all had a more restful weekend than we did.

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 […]
