Creating a Backyard Family Oasis

Hello, friends!

I am so so excited for todays post because we’re sharing our little backyard getaway space! This summer it was really important for us to have a backyard space perfect for cooling off and relaxing together as a family. Before we only had a kiddie pool, but this year we wanted an area the whole family could use! We upgraded to a larger above ground pool that I bought at a discount, and then added a few special touches from Wayfair!

String Lights

The first thing we added were some solar string lights to put on the trees behind the pool. We wanted this so even if we chose to swim at night there would still be light by the pool, plus I just love the magical look string lights give off. Each string of lights run off a small solar panel that you place in a sunny spot, easy peasy!

Comfy Seating

Next, we needed some outdoor seating! We picked up this simple set of two chairs and a table for under $140 on Wayfair! It’s called the Minden 3 Piece Conversation Set with Cusions and it is so comfy! It’s the perfect little spot to kick back and read after the kiddos go to bed, or to just lounge by the pool!

Plush Towels

What’s another necessity for backyard pool fun? Towels of course! I absolutely love these 100% cotton beach towels from Wayfair because they’re super absorbent, come in a variety of colors, and they’re the perfect size! The color pictured on our chairs are the “Aero Blue” towels, but I also love the “Baked Apple” color combination!

We love our little summer space so much! The kids love swimming in the pool and William and I love that we can splash around with them! And boy is it nice to wrap them up in a big beach towel and snuggle them in our new lounge furniture, too! Backyard spaces don’t have to be expensive or extravagant, they can be budget-friendly, too! And in the end, it doesn’t matter what you have but rather who you’re with, right?

✨Monday Energy✨ Today my therapist and I were ✨Monday Energy✨

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.

#ad 📌 A priority for nearly everyone right now #ad 📌 A priority for nearly everyone right now is just to stay healthy, especially amid COVID. Our hospitals are near capacity and struggling, so let’s help them out and try to do everything in our power to prevent unnecessary hospital visits. 

📊 Last year in the U.S., there were an estimated 39 – 56 million cases of the flu, 18 – 26 million medical visits due to the flu, and approximately half a million flu hospitalizations. Getting the flu shot and protecting ourselves and our families can help to reduce that number.

(ad) 💕 Staying comfortable and stylish for Valentine’s Day is easy with @teamfitforme. My hunt for comfy underwear that feels good and is specifically #madeforcurves and makes me feel better from the inside out is over. 

🌬 I love these Breathable Cotton-Mesh Briefs because they’re so soft and light - and they truly are (as the name suggests) “breathable” - perfect for those of us who have hot flashes. 😉 🔥

It can be REALLY easy to feel shame for "not doing enough" on the days that are hard for us. But taking the time to heal and give your body what it needs IS being productive, and that’s something that I’m always trying to remind myself.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else needs the reminder, too. ✨ You ARE enough, and you’re DOING enough, even if it’s not as much as you did yesterday.

#ad 💕 I was so excited to hear that @athleta had worked with active women of all sizes to not only extend their sizing but also to test each piece to ensure the fit and performance was perfect. I’ve always marveled at the Athleta styles and to finally wear them myself was huge!

I am a 22/24 and wear a 3X typically, in Athleta I am a 2X and the pieces fit like a glove. The fabrics are soft and comfortable and I just really feel like they succeeded in their mission to create gorgeous, size-inclusive workout wear.

I’m doing a full try-on of a few different styles in my stories. Take a peek and let me know which active look I shared is your favorite!
