I'm running in my first 5K at the end of September. And my second one in November. Just getting ready!

Back-to-school shopping doesn't ONLY mean fall items for us. This is definitely the time of year when we can find great deals on spring/summer items so I tend to stock up. Swimsuits in August? Absolutely! Here in Oklahoma City we'll be swimming in October even! But we will see cooler weather eventually, so cute hats and denim skirts are definitely on the list!

We have two distinct areas in our backyard. I'd love to do one that is styled more for the grown-ups, and one that meets our kids where they are and grows with them. This list contains a handful of awesome that I'd love to somehow incorporate. I love the teak because I can make pads for it that would coordinate with anything else I do outside and can also be changed from year to year.
