Backyard Projects

Recently, Lauren and I have capitalized on the time that we've had to finish off a lot of important DIY projects outside, including building 170ft of new fence, my side of the garage, our back and front deck, etc.

We have very fortunate to not only have amazing parents like hers who have been helping and supportive at every step!  Since we moved in last July, the plan right from the get-go was to build a new big fence because we couldn't contain our pups with the old existing 3-foot fence, but not to mention that at the front and back we just had to put up chicken wire to try and hold them back them from freely exploring the whole neighborhood.  But in November our new neighbors to the north moved in and they were supportive to build the fence when the time was right.. so this past week we did it!




Personally, I've never been a "handyman" of any kind, but I've sure learned a lot over the past few months and now that we have a house of our own and a nice big yard, the DIY project plans are growing.  Especially now when we think about the little person that is going to be running through the grass in just a few short years.

I really enjoy looking at fun outdoor ideas and games for kids.  So wanted to share some of the recent ones I have looked at and thought about for us.  Because I want our backyard to not only look incredible and unique, but also be a haven for our kid and their friends to spend lots of time outside, using their imagination while playing and learning.
