These clear plastic bird feeders have been stalking me on amazon so I decided to purchase one! I can't wait to get it and see beautiful birds fly right to my window for up-close viewing! My girls are going to love it!


 

Springtime can get busy with kids' activities and to do lists for home improvements! I've been learning about the concept of "Habit Stacking" as a powerful productivity tool to be more intentional with your time (so that you can enjoy your downtime outside on your lovely porch). I love the idea of connecting a new habit you'd like to develop to a well developed habit as a cue. In this podcast, James Clear author of the book Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Break Bad Habits and Build Good Ones explains it all!



 


We love getting creative with our cocktail and mocktail making; trying new things all the time! This list is sure to be fun to make and delicious to try~35 drinks to welcome patio season!!
