Table setting outside - Outdoor dining in hot pink and purple- outdoor umbrella with fringe and paper lantern string

The previous homeowner gave us a huge gift by leaving us this large outdoor dining table and chairs.

Kids birthday party planning and printable checklist

Blue glass from the dollar store

My best pal, Ashby, had a birthday on Tuesday, so I wanted to do something special with the table setting on her day.

I finished the TV frame! I can’t believe it actu I finished the TV frame! I can’t believe it actually worked! I tend to rush through projects because I only have spurts of time with three kids. But for this frame I took my time, thought it through and just took one day at a time. If you watched in my stories, I only own a drill and a small miter box. I’ve never even built a box before! So this is a big project for me. Thanks for joining me on this crazy ride. Full tutorial coming soon!

What’s one thing that you made that you kind of can’t believe that you did it?!
Aiming for more love, more kindness, more understa Aiming for more love, more kindness, more understanding, more smiles! They will know us by our love. 💗💕
