With my weekdays being so hectic and fully focused on my day job, I spend almost every “free” minute on the weekends focused on content for the blog or my shop. This weekend was a fun one!
It took a little convincing (after trying out a new budgeting process, thanks for the tip Julia!) but my husband was finally on board with finishing the backyard! Friday we placed our order for 9 cubic yards of rock (um, that’s a lot!) and Saturday morning the delivery came! We ran around town purchasing plants for the perimeter of our back yard. We are low maintenance people and decided drought tolerant is the best option for us. We spent two days straight planting and spreading dirt throughout our backyard. I’ve never been so sore. How do I not have a 6-pack right now..
I’m also happy to report I now own a massive foxtail agave! For a hot minute I didn’t think we could get him into the car. But the front seat worked perfectly! (I documented the whole thing on snapchat, I’m: brittanymakes)
He looks happy as a clam :)
Sunday morning I hit the flea real quick to restock product for the shop. I just about died when I saw this rug, peachy navy perfection. I desperately want to keep it for my kitchen, but I think it’s a tad too wide :( Good news for you, it might hit the shop!
And finally, I actually went shopping for once. Let me preface this by saying I NEVER do this (never post photos of myself in the dressing room – I look like a total dork and I’m wearing a black bra – oops). BUT, this shirt makes me feel like Claire Underwood (sans the jeans) and I bought it in two colors. It’s structured and really flattering in person (my selfie photo skills are majorly lacking). It’s on sale, and I recommend sizing down.
What did you do this weekend?
You are so cute! Love the rug, love the new top. Fun weekend! I want to move to CA! :)
email me the cost for the rug (and size): jcanilly@msn.com
oh you are adorable!!! love your hair and that top is awesome! sexy thang.
LOL, thanks doll!
You do NOT suck at selfies. Love the shirt. And really wish I’d live in a warmer climate so I could own an agave too
haha thanks Julia! Honestly I did keep a few agave alive in my sunroom this winter. It’s doable!
I should show you the photo of yet another indoor plant I killed within 4 weeks that I just texted Cassie. It’s hilarious. I don’t think they like me
Love the new rug! I can’t wait to see the back yard!
Love that agave, and the rug!
You sound like me when I was digging grass out of our front parking strip last week (to replace it with plants that don’t need watering or mowing). I kept going by telling myself what a good workout it was. I didn’t get a six-pack out of it, either. Yard work is tough, but I’m betting it’ll be worth the work. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!
Thanks! And that’s what I keep telling myself too!
The plant is beautiful and love the rug! I also have a blog and I think will resonate with you, would love to get your feedback :)
