Summer is upon us! Once my kids are out of school for the year, I officially call it Summer! I've been working on whipping our backyard into shade getting weeds under control, planting a garden bed full of flowers and working on our patio getting it ready for relaxation. But, I'm most excited about outdoor backyard play! I really want our backyard to be a fun spot for hours of outdoor play.

I've put together fun musts to create a fun modern backyard geared towards creative fun play!

Last year for Avery's birthday we got in a BBQ Grill (number #1) he loves it! I plan on getting some more outdoor BBQ food so he can grill up some goodies this Summer. Now that the weather is staying nice in Sacramento, I placed the BBQ Grill outside next to the blueberry bush he picked out. Next week I'll have a ton of patio updates to share #CanNotWait

We also recently got him a kid's wheelbarrow & garden tool set. I to watch him play with them and help us the garden (veggie garden update coming soon). Next on my must list is the Lemonade Stand, too cute! And the basketball set, I can't wait to shoot hoops this Summer.

I'm so excited for Summer to arrive and spend lots of time playing with my kids and new puppy outside. Have you see our puppy's cute face on Instagram, I swear he's the cutest chocolate lab ever!
