for the last few years, I’ve been chipping away at outdoor projects, figuring it out as I went along. but this year, I had a vision — and a strong urge to finally get it done. I wanted a space that felt calming, cozy + completely our own. a place filled with things we love. and I was determined to make it happen. so we did. on tuesday, we had our first fire in our finished backyard, tucked in next to our garden and surrounded by plants that bring the whole space to life. the boys made s’mores, and my heart was so full and content. all the trips to the garden center. the countless bags of rock and mulch. the overthinking of every plant + where it should go. the evenings spent digging in the dirt long after the sun went down. IT WAS ALL WORTH IT 🥹🤍 because I’ll always remember the first fire in this space and hearing my boys declare it “the best night ever.” ✨ for this moment, and for the many memories still to come. 🤍🌿 BackyardGarden GardenLife OutdoorLiving HomeProjects momlife
