For my birthday, I wanted my dad to come over and help me finally fix my backyard. I've been neglecting the side area for months because I've been trying to decide what I wanted to do. If you look at the before picture - it was bad. The little man never played in his sandbox and I could never get grass to grow, so it looked so bad.
I took off last Friday and my dad came over - I'd finally conceived a plan. We headed to Home Depot and picked up 12 bags of mulch, weed-stopper fabric stuff and some plants. I also picked up some cute outdoor chairs from my mom for my birthday to go with the adorable polka dot cushions I bought on ebay.
Several hours later, and bunches of degrees hotter, we finished! I'm still adding accessories and when the hostas grow a bit, it will look even better! I'm really happy with the way it turned out and now I can sit in my chairs and watch my little guy play golf and baseball in the side yard. It's going to be even more fabulous when it gets cooler outside!
