Come On In: Fancy Little Farmhouse Yard

Today I am linking up with Andrea who is the author to one of my very favorite blogs. 

Hello and welcome to our yard!!! This is my first year actually being in to my yard and by that I mean I have watered the flowers AND picked weeds. Not everyday mind you, but more than once...which is a big deal for me.

Welcome to the front porch. This is probably my favorite place at our house. It drives me crazy when people {like my husband} say front porches are a waste of space. I LOVE sitting out here with a book and mason jar filled with my favorite beverage of the day. 

This little space is all mine so of course there had to be a monogram.

Under the chairs today when I took pictures were our watering cans. Cole loves to water which is a big help.

One reason I swear flowers don't last at our house is because Cole is a fantastic excavator. He pulls plants by the roots and all!!! This picture just captures farm life with a little boy.

Here is a picture of Cole's little container garden. In it is his fair project {lettuce} and a few pumpkins that we planted.

And lots of weeds...as you can see.

As you go up our stairs we have these little pots with our last name. I LOVE this!!! {so thankful our last name is small}

When we build I know {in my mind} just how I want my yard but right now my goal is to find joy in the now so this little place is definitely a work in progress. 

Thanks for visiting!!! 

Favorite Things: Red White and Blue!

Today I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for a red, white, and blue favorite things party.

Everything I have is under 10$ except for the tent and it's close (atleast that's what I'm telling Jason).

First up is this precious towel from JoAnne's fabric. It was 60% off plus I had an extra coupon so with tax it was $3.10. I thought it was mighty cute.

Here is the tent I've been begging for. Mr. Moon thinks that he's done having babies so I told him if Cole's our one and only he will have a teepee in his room! Even if my best boy has 20 siblings I still think he needs a teepee in his room.

I am OBSESSED with these letters. My friend Lauren sells them in her etsy shop. Cole and I sit in the window and practice his name. I think these would look precious strung from his teepee.

This morning we had a red, white, and blue breakfast and this sweet boy made the muffins. I promise they were muffins only a Mommy would eat. {lots of double dipping}

I'm trying to let him lead discovery and practice Montessori skills at home so he buttered his muffin. Proud Mommy moment right there.
