Beat the summer heat - Outdoor home, staying cool outdoors, gardening in Texas heat zone 9, backyard

Shade in the backyard is a luxury in Texas. If there’s anything that’s quick and easy to put up and get your yard summer ready, this is it! This extra large, 15 x 9’ patio umbrella does the trick. It’s HUGE, like a triple sized market patio umbrella providing ample shade, even greater shade cover than the backyard pergola we previously built and 1000x faster and easier to put together.

Simply anchor the base in a patio table- we used a hole cutter to put this through the middle of our picnic table. When not in use, simply wind it down and put a cover over it (optional).

“Alexa’s turn off the back yard lights.”

The ultimate backyard ambiance is enhanced with voice controlled outdoor lighting, made possible by a waterproof outdoor smart plug.

Have all the outdoor fun right at home in your own yard with string lights setting the mood as landscape lighting.

Grow your own succulent collection for free! My kids and I picked up broken off pieces of succulents from the plant store on our latest trip up. We bought several plants but wanted to stretch the buck a bit further by picking up some free pieces we could propagate and grow new plants from for free. I love keeping succulents in shallow terra cotta planters. Shallow wide planters are ideal for plants that like to stay dry like cactus

If this ain’t Texas I don’t know what is. Fun colored light bulbs can totally set a mood. The colors can be changed out in support of sports teams or just because!

I think the red and blue string lights give our yard a real summer cookout kind of vibe.

I lit up our outdoor space by rehanging, our outdoor café lights in a zigzag pattern, but this time I upgraded the hangers to heavy duty string light poles that securely stake into the ground.

I also added water resistant protective covers for the outdoor plug connections. The lights that I am using in the back yard as well as the extension cords are all water resistant however, I have these leftover from waterproofing, holiday, decorations and thought why not put them to use?!

To take it to the next level- I added a smart outdoor plug (which has one of the best apps for controlling smart devices that I have ever used!!). The app allows me to program routines and schedules for my lights to turn on and off, and they can also be controlled by voice using our Alexa devices. In the late evenings, I never have to worry about turning the lights off myself, they will either go off at the time that they are supposed to or when we choose to shut them off. I am a big fan of smart devices inside of my home, it only makes sense to utilize them outside as well!

This has transformed the ambience in our backyard and patio space. The family cannot wait to enjoy the outdoors more during this spring and summer season.

When headed out for family fun and weekend getaways I always pack our soft sided structured cooler that keeps everything ice cold as long as the leading coolers. The bag is even floatable! A floating bag is so handy for boating, water sports and river floating.

The bag is ideal for family camping trips and beach vacations! It’s a great gift idea for anyone who likes to keep their drinks chilled while on the go!

The best thing I’ve done recently-
SMART OUTDOOR LIGHTS - Automated Routine/Timer and control via Alexa.

The lights only come on in our backyard between certain hours I determined we might enjoy them, and only if the conditions are right- not on evenings that are too chilly! That’s smart, but to take it up a notch, our lights have a bedtime that I’ve set for them to auto shut off and and I don’t have to worry about it.

Also, I can ask Alexa to turn off the Backyard (all smart enabled devices in my yard including the string lights) or just say goodnight Alexa which I’ve programmed to shut off all my lights by voice command.

Work smarter not harder y’all! And now I’ve got the perfect environment for lounging on the patio thanks to the dimming feature.

I have also linked the café, light string light poles that I used to hang these as well as the solar fence lights has shown on the far right.

If you are looking for something to help give you better mental focus and clarity, and boost your mood, you may have become ice bath curious too. 🙋🏻‍♀️ sign me up for all the mood boosting benefits, including pain and inflammation reduction.

I took the plunge in our home cold tub, knowing that it is good for us to feel and move through discomfort. I’d love to hear your experience if you’ve done cold plunges/ice baths for wellness or for sports therapy.

Cool crisp, fall air. It’s the time of year for camping. Now that the summer heat has gone away we can enjoy tent camping with all the luxuries of home, but portable when you are camping.

I have linked a few camping essentials like our best air mattress, ever, easy to assemble pop-up tent, Wheeled coolers, that keep ice colder than other ice chests

Last summer we spruced up our backyard with some much needed shade and patio seating. This year, we’re adding more green to the yard. I’m loving the touch of green, black, and natural wood tones this long matte black rectangular outdoor planter and wooden garden trellis gives the back of our shed. This planter has drainage, is super durable, lightweight and highly fade resistant - just add two of the linked trellises to get the look. @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family #liketkit #LTKhome #LTKfamily #LTKunder100 http://liketk.it/3gWo5

It’s hot out here ☀️ cold brew with iced coffee cubes is my afternoon delight!

I love freezing sweetened condensed milk for my coffee so that the drink doesn’t get watered down. You get a slow melting cube of iced coffee and sweetener. (Sweet cond. milk won’t freeze on its own, too sticky sweet!

The large sized ice cubes are perfect for freezing edible flowers for baby showers or bridal events.

🧊 what would you freeze into these giant hexagon / hexagonal?? ice cubes?
