Finding Splendor :: create a space for family time in the back yard

It’s funny how things end up working out… We don’t really spend much time outside at our house. We take Max places, but we don’t just ‘go outside’. I wanted to change that so I created a ‘project’ for myself. Hence, the Finding Splendor series (which has been somewhat dormant, but making a comeback!). I thought that if I spent a bunch of time and money to create a space for our family outside that we would spend more time out there. Well, the reality is… We just needed to ‘go outside’!! Take a look at our fun Fourth of July day outside as a family with our little blow up pool.

And, guess what, it’s our very first time to spend time out there since we bought this house over 4 years ago. Who knew there was such fun to be had right at our fingertips!? Sometimes you just need to simply go outside…

Do you spend time outside at your own home?? What have you done to make your outdoor space inviting?
