modern backyard patio ideas

This post is in partnership with RugsUSA. All opinions are my own. My favorite perch this time of year is our backyard covered patio. We have it setup like a cozy living room with a modern patio design. I love how the sun rises and streams through the trees and onto the porch. We haveRead more

Backyard Patio Finds

May 12, 2023May 12, 2023 - Sarah Leave a comment

I love visiting the garden center at Walmart for inexpensive plants and decor items that are on trend. The planters are always my fav and my house is filled with their large tropical houseplants. I use them to turn my backyard into a summer oasis and then bring them indoors to help with clean airRead more

DIY Planter Posts for String Lights - Backyard Patio

I knew I wanted string lights implemented into our backyard patio somehow, but I wasn’t quite sure how to hang them above our uncovered dining area. We decided to build DIY planter posts to serve as a hanging point for our string lights and it turned out SOOOOO good! How to Make DIY Planter PostsRead more

Part Two! The reveal is finally here! ✨ These are the treasures that actually made it home with me, including the lampshade I couldn’t leave behind. There’s just something so satisfying about finding unique pieces for a fraction of the price. Which find is your favorite? 👇

If you’re looking for an EPIC summer memory to make this year… consider hosting a DIY slip-and-slide backyard party! 💦☀️

The verdict is in… the kids and the adults loved this one! Everyone brought a dish to pass, we spent the evening laughing and playing outside, then ended the night warming up by a giant bonfire 🔥

And of course… we had homemade milkshakes with all the fun toppings because what’s a summer party without a little sweetness?! 🍦✨

This was definitely a summer night to remember.

Would your family love a backyard party like this? 👇

I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for this family. 🤍

It all started with my mom and dad, who welcomed seven children into the world and created a home where laughter, friendship, and togetherness were simply part of everyday life.

As adults, we all scattered in different directions to build lives of our own. But somehow, one by one, we found our way back to the place our family has long called home, choosing to raise our own children close to the people who first taught us what family means.

Watching our parents’ love grow into seven children, five wonderful significant others, and 14 grandchildren is something I’ll never take for granted.

This life has reminded me that it’s never really about where you are. It’s about who you’re with.

I’m endlessly thankful for these people, these memories, and this family that just keeps growing. 🤍

The older I get, the more I realize that the people who choose to make time for you are giving you one of the greatest gifts they have.

In a world that feels busy and loud, the text, the phone call, the coffee date, and the “I was thinking about you” matter more than ever. 🤍

✨Tag someone who has made time for you lately.

I wasn’t planning to fall in love with a matching sweatsuit… but here we are. 🤍🇺🇸

This hoodie + jogger set is SO soft, cozy, and the American flag details are even cuter in person with the lace florals and gingham stars. ✨

I’m wearing my true size medium in both pieces. I tried the large too, but the medium still had the perfect relaxed fit. (If you’re petite like me at 5’3”, the pants are definitely long, but I kind of love the cozy look! 🤭)

The best part? They’re on clearance for just $15 each! 🏃‍♀️ Don’t wait if you’ve been thinking about it.

✨ Comment COZY SET and I’ll automatically send you the links!

I went to Goodwill for one Amazon return… and somehow left with a carload. 😅 Tell me I’m not the only one this happens to! Which find would you have grabbed first? And don’t miss Part 2 to see the lampshade I picked and everything that actually came home with me. 👀
