Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. We had one jam packed day and then a day to rest! Always a nice mix to the weekend.
On Saturday we woke up bright early to prep for a photo shoot we were working on. Here is a peek into our supplies:
We will be revealing the photo shoot on Wednesday! Stay tuned!
Truth be told setting and doing the actual photo shoot took a big chunk of the day.
The nice part about shopping for photo shoot supplies was picking up a couple of extra goodies for myself. My favorite from last weeks haul was this tablecloth!
Also found these cute kraft paper rolls with patterns at Dollar Tree:
We wrapped up our day with a Cinco de Mayo themed surprise birthday party for Hudson’s Aunt JoJo! She was surprised and Hudson was the life of the party and behaved himself really well even though it was a late night for him.
We were all hoping to sleep in on Sunday, but you know how it is with kids. We were up bright and early at 7am ready to get the day started.
We started the day by checking out rattan samples that arrived from Select Furnishingsto see what color combo we want for our outdoor living room set. We are toying between chocolate and natural.
We are working with this toss pillow as our inspiration point for the color story going on in the outdoor living area:
Before settling in for a day of relaxation we remembered we had a Mother’s day gift to pick out so out we went to my favorite place…Kate Spade. Such a happy and colorful store!
Since we were in a shopping center with the closest Christmas Tree Shopto us we decided to take a little peek. We managed to find a couple of little treasures:
Cute ceramic stools for $69.99
Missoni inspired lampshades for $14.99
Patterned rugs for $5.99
How cute is this mini ceramic garden stool? It had to come home with me!
Of course after all of the shopping we had to take the rest of the day to rest. We all did a little napping in the afternoon, then the men did a yard work in the backyard to prepare the space for Hudson’s new playset, which should arrive this week!
The day ended with us cuddling and watching some movies:

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 […]
I know what you’re up to with the photo shoot!! Can’t wait to see what you’ve created! And can’t believe you didn’t choose orange!!?? 😉
