Spring Time

Who doesn’t love Spring? It’s my favorite season of all. The flowers blooming seem to paint the perfect picture of joy on the canvas of life. Last year I planted a flower garden for the very first time and it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done to date. There’s just something about working the garden and seeing the growth that takes place because of your hard work. Flowers bring so much happiness. There’s a reason they are given in times of joy and sorrow.

Outdoor Tip

If you have pesky squirrels that want to dig all your pretty flowers up, try cayenne pepper. It works! I dealt with that last year, but as soon as I started sprinkling cayenne pepper on the soil the problem was solved. Just be sure to reapply after every rain. My flower garden was in raised garden beds on my patio/pergola area so the dirt was constantly being distributed by the squirrels on all of my furniture before I found this solution.

Outdoor Office

Because I love the outdoors so much, one of my favorite things to do is work outside. I’m thankful that I work from home and can literally have an outdoor office in my pergola space. I spend hours at a time on my computer and phone doing business tasks. Being able to do this in a beautiful space with birds singing in the background makes my job much more pleasurable!

Outdoor Furniture

Knowing that the winter is soon to be gone, I have been on the hunt for new outdoor furniture this year. I wanted something that would be great quality and super comfortable. My family spends a lot of time outside, so I wanted to have enough room for all of us to hang out. We have only had an outdoor couch in the past. It was great, but limited on space.

One of my go to shopping places is Walmart online. I love their Better Homes & Gardens selection when it comes to home decor and furniture. I came across this 5 piece conversation set by Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart. Its exactly what I needed and at a great price!

The furniture was easy to assemble and the quality is amazing. It is more comfortable than any other outdoor furniture set I have ever owned. I also love that the chairs swivel. That is such a fun touch! The nesting tables work great in the center together or you could separate them and use them in different locations. This set also comes with covers to protect from the weather. They are very easy to put on. I am so thankful to have that added protection! It really makes the difference in the longevity of your furniture.

Outdoor Oasis

After we got the furniture set up, I added lots of new plants in the space. It now feels like my own little oasis. These Better Homes & Gardens throw pillows from Walmart look great with the set. I purchased them last year and love how they brought the space together! If you are on the hunt for new outdoor furniture, be sure to check out the Better Homes & Gardens selection at Walmart! You will love not only the price, but the style, comfort and quality!
