7 more days......

.....till my summer break!

I am dreaming of relaxing by my pool, on my porch, at my parents on Lake Michigan

and at my son's new home in North Caorlina.

Here are some shots of relaxing inspiration....

How fun would this hanging bed be!?

I think my hubby could make me one for much less than this PB one!

I love hammocks! Especially lakeside!


I am a total beach bum. I love being at my parents in Michigan.
Nothing better than the sound of the waves and the sand between my toes.
I won't be going until July, unless Emma and I sneak up for a short

visit before our family vacation. :)

Love this porch, I have morning glories and a gingerbread screen door on my own!
Dinner by candlelight is the best after a long summer day.





Another relaxing porch.

Love this black and white with a splash of yellow!

Two more favorites, white wicker and bouquets of snapdragons!

I love the rustic feel of this outdoor room by the woods.

I have a couple arbors we have built from trees by our woods.

Another hammock on the porch, how great is that!?

Last but not least an above ground pool.

We have so much fun in ours. When you live in the country

in hot and humid Ohio and are raising 4 kids it is a must have!

Although in our neck of the woods ponds are great too. Before we

had a pool we went to Grandma and Grandpa B's

with all the cousins almost everyday to swim and fish in their pond. My wonderful SILs and I

and up to 15 kids, what memories!

Emma and Bekah are out on summer break from school

so our summer has officially started!

Enjoy!
