Hey friends, I thought I’d post a little update on here, probably more for me than you honestly as I love going back and reading my random posts about life from a few years ago. For a bit I tried to have a personal blog and this blog as well but it just wasn’t working out. […]
Outdoor Oasis Part 2 – Intex Pool
Back in May, I completed the One Room Challenge of making our deck into an outdoor oasis. That was part 1 of our backyard makeover. The second part of the outdoor oasis involved the pool area. We have been blessed by some friends to have been given two intex pools over the past few years which […]
