When we moved into our house last April we knew there were a few things we wanted to do to make it our own. The house was completely livable, just not 100% us, and the outside space definitely left something to be desired. One of the first things that had to go were the GIANT pots full of pampas grass that greeted us (and all of our guests) as we walked up to the front door. We live in Seattle, not the desert, but the succulents and grass suggested otherwise.

The weather in Seattle can be questionable in March, but last weekend promised clear skies and 60 degree temps - perfect for a day of planting and weeding in the yard!

So after some serious research and two trips to the nursery we decided on our plants and loaded up the truck!

Yardwork is much more challenging with a baby to entertain...
This is what our front porch/yard looked like! |

There is still work to be done in the yard - stone pavers and babies don't mix, but this was a big step in the right direction :) Hopefully now our neighbors know we care about keeping up the yard!
