Backyard Renovation

For those that have been to our home, you know that we have NO backyard.  It probably measures 10’ x 20’ at most and is more known as a jungle than a backyard.  When Shane and I moved in, we thought it was PERFECT because we HATE yard work – so we never had to pull a weed or plant a flower….until we had kids. Our BIGGEST regret with buying our house is the backyard. There is no room for a swing set or for play toys….and even less room for a table and chairs for those warm summer nights when dinner outside tastes so much better….

It’s clear that Jackson LOVES going outside….and we know Malia will most likely have the same desire. So it was time to do SOMETHING about our backyard.  Wth having a newborn, it’s hard to get out everyday…and Jackson HAS to get out at least once a day. It was time to invest some TLC into our backyard. So this is what we did this weekend…..
