I hope you all had a great weekend! I’m coming to you a day late and from Florida! Kurtis and I flew down early Sunday morning for a few days. He didn’t take vacation time so he’s still working while we’re down here, and I’m trying to take a bunch of photos and wrap up a few projects before the busy season arrives! Here’s what else we were up to this past week.

Home Projects & Updates
I was finally able to get to work on my outdoor planters last week! Things were already very picked over and shelves were fairly bare, but I was able to get enough plants to at least get started!
I filled two planters by the entrance to the pool house with these tall mandevilla trellises from Lowe’s, and then used some petunias and lobelia around the base. I think it’s going to be really pretty, especially once the petunias take off around the base!
Later in the week, I headed to Lanoha to get a few more things. Their bougainvillea wall was extra beautiful with the flowers in full bloom!
My planter out front looks a little sad at this point, but once everything takes root, it should really flourish. This area is in the sun almost 100% of the days, so I filled the pot with impatiens, some creepy Jenny, and a sweet potato vine.
I still have a few more planters to fill once we get back to Omaha. Fingers crossed the nurseries have re-stocked a bit after Mother’s Day weekend!
The weather was incredible last week, with four days over 90 degrees! Kurtis had to work offsite for three days last week, so, since I didn’t have a car, I spent as much time working in the yard as possible. The pool deck is ready for summer!

Following are the most read blog posts of last week (excluding any of the new posts already mentioned above). Many times this includes old posts that are popular on Google or Pinterest.
Around Town & For Fun
Friday afternoon, we invited our goddaughters up for a few hours. They’re both at such fun ages, and although it took them a minute to feel comfortable in the pool, I think they both loved it! They definitely put the indoor/outdoor bar to use with their snacks and Capri-suns 😉
Their parents came up a few hours later and we ordered pizza for dinner and swam a bit more. It was such a fun night and the weather couldn’t have been better!
How cute is this side-by-side comparison of the girls in their cabana. They’ve both grown a lot in a year!
Once they all went home, we let the cats hang out for a few minutes while we cleaned up. Hawkeye was cracking me up as he was lounging by the pool!
Kurtis and I woke up a little after 3 on Sunday morning for an early flight to Florida! This time we flew into Destin/Ft. Walton Beach rather than Panama City Beach, so we could test the two closest airports to Hola Beaches. They’re fairly similar in size, but PCB is 20-30 minutes closer so it’s still the one we’d recommend. But I do know Destin sometimes has more flight availability!
It’s always fun to get back to the house! We’re always a little nervous each time to see what has been damaged/stained/broken since our last visit, but this time around, we didn’t have too many surprises!

We met our friends Rachel and Chris and their boys for dinner at Amigos. Afterwards, we swung by their house for a few hours. It was kind of a rainy day, but even with all the clouds the sunset from their deck was still so beautiful!
We’re hoping to wrap up our guide to 30A while we’re here so we can publish it before Memorial Day weekend and the busy season. So stay tuned for that!
