Fun in the Rain or Shine

As long as I can remember, I have wanted a family. Now I’m living the dream as a stay-at-home mother of two beautiful girls. Most days are hectic, but we always make time to have fun and enjoy the great outdoors. One of our favorite things to do together is have little picnics. Fresh air does wonders for kids – hello naps!

We recently got the Abba Patio Portable Folding Canopy. I can easily set the canopy up in a few minutes and provide UV protection on sunny days or keep the rain drops off our heads on rainy ones. During our last picnic, a surprise rain shower came through just as we got set up and we were still able to have a great meal, wet free! Now, we can enjoy our little picnics whether rain or shine! 

Summer is the perfect time for entertaining outdoors. Depending on where you live, the heat during this time of year can be overbearing. We’ve been shopping for umbrellas for our pool deck for a while, so when Abba Patio contacted us, we were thrilled at the opportunity to test and review their product!

I always look forward to the weekends when I can relax by the pool with my family. The Abba Patio Octagon Cantilever Umbrella, which features an impressive 10-foot canopy is not only functional, but also a mobile architectural feature.

March into Spring with Little Things

Brightly colored flowers, a warm breeze and smells of honeysuckles lingering in the air. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Guess what? In a little over a week, spring will be here (March 20)! Spring brings forth warmer weather and one of my favorite holidays – Easter!

I’ve always enjoyed decorating for the holidays. Of course, Christmas is one of my favorites, but Easter comes in a close second. With spring near and Easter following shortly after, it’s time to take out all the spring decor and get my home ready!

They Filter the Perfect Amount of Light

After recently installing Ovation™ Cellular Shades by Comfortex Window Fashions in our family room, my husband and I were bound and determined to find an equally impressive option for our sliding glass doors. (You can read my rave reviews on the Cellular Shades on my blog.)

Lo and behold, Comfortex makes Ovation™ Cellular Sliders that are made with the same honeycomb material as the shades! These Cellulars slide smoothly side to side along a horizontal rail and are exceptionally quiet with the pleats staying perpendicular with the floor.
