Tire Swing


The tire swing is a quintessential childhood memory. I am blessed to live at the beach all summer with my two girls and we had the perfect spot in our little yard to hang a swing. I can already vision the girls swinging together on lazy afternoons. 

I found this wonderful company that custom makes the swings in the color of your choice and even monograms them!  We chose a cranberry color with yellow chain. I love it! 
As Carly Simon says.... these are the good old days!

Playhouse Fun

It was a beautiful day and we were bored... so we decided to girly up the playhouse on our swingset.


We started by painting with chalkboard paint to make for fun drawing.

We continued painting with lots of hot pink paint!



We hung some pretty pictures and added some flowers.

What playhouse doesn't need a pink disco ball!
A signature handprint will make for a fun memory.
A Robin's egg was a fun find in our yard.

Tuckered out after all that hard work!

The Love of an Outdoor Shower

I just got home from a few days relaxing at our beach house. Our place is small enough so that the maintenance doesn't keep us from enjoying ourselves, yet large enough to entertain and have overnight guests comfortably. I will post a photo tour of our home away from home in the near future.  My very favorite space in our house is the outdoor shower! There is something about showering outside as the trees look down upon me that is so incredibly freeing and instantly takes me away from it all.

Calgon, take me away......

Tub Envy

Simple and pretty... just my style!

The white is so lovely, but I could never keep this clean enough with my 2 little ones!

Ahhhhhh

Tropical

This picture has inspired me to add a little color to mine!  Love it.

Love the floor

New England

Trellis is pretty, but watch out for thorns!
