Happy Fourth of July!!! I hope you have the best weekend celebrating America’s 250th birthday! We have had a great week, making bread, trying new things that will probably become favorites, and being reunited with old favorites (cough cough Thirst). Whether you’ve been having a party all week or you’re just celebrating today I hope you’ve had a wonderful Independence day week and you stay safe all weekend!
Have you been following along with the Try Podcast? If not, it’s not too late to start! We talk about everything!!! Including laser hair removal. Have you had it done? Do you think it was worth it? Let me know in the comments below! You can watch it here!
We got our landscaping and the main question is, what all did we get?
Well, here you! Each and every bush, flower, and tree name.
Didn’t get them right?
Probably not, but I tried my best and I couldn’t be happier!
And for everyone wondering where, we went with Westside Nursery and they were incredible!!
They helped us plan it all, what plants work in our area, and with the type of water we have.
Legit, so helpful and glad we went with them!
I was able to be the first customer at the new Bountiful Thirst!!! Do you remember the Modern Dad drink? Let me know in the comments below if you’ve tried it! I’m so excited to have one so close to home and you know I’ll be getting pretzel bites all the time!
Stories
I was able to answer questions that we got about our landscaping:
- Get multiple bids and find out what works for you and your budget
- We chose Westside Nursery because we loved them and they knew what would work for us and our needs, our watering situation (we have secondary water), and super helpful and knowledgeable
- The plan and layout of everything was $200, but the rest can be anywhere from $10-50k depending on what you do and plants you get
Whatever you decide to do and get, make sure that you are happy with what you do and work with what you can plant in your area!
Wednesday in the middle of all the yard work I laid down on my Twinkle Mattress and was out, like every time I lay down! And they are on sale right now! We have the Twinkle Comfort Luxe Hybrid with the adjustable base, and trust me you want an adjustable base! Use code moderndad for a discount and get the best sleep of your life! And RIGHT NOW everything is on sale and my code stacks, but this ends July 5 so DO NOT WAIT!!!
Olive needed new socks and I found these cute ones for her and she LOVES them!
You guys LOVE AYR jeans and so I finally ordered them! Did they come in time for the rodeo? No, but I’m excited to try them! They are on the pricier side, but they are having up to 60% off sale right now, so check them out!
And since you guys are loving what I’ve been wearing this summer I have to share my J. Crew finds as well! I love J. Crew because they are always having a sale, and they have great pieces that will last a long time.
It’s been a busy week, but seeing our landscaping finally come together has made all the hard work worth it! I’m excited to watch everything grow over the next few years and can’t wait to share updates along the way. Thanks for following along with our projects, podcasts, and favorite finds each week. If you’ve tackled a landscaping project recently or have a favorite plant we should add next, let me know in the comments—I always love hearing your ideas!
