Who else is itching for spring? Patio and garden season is the best time of year in my opinion, and I cannot wait for it to be here.

Before we found out I was pregnant with Jack last year, we began sprucing up our backyard and patio by installing a gorgeous cedar pergola and planting vegetable gardens. I even updated our concrete patio slab by painting it (you can see that transformation here).

Once I we learned that our baby boy was on the way, though, we abandoned our backyard projects and turned our attention to improvements inside our house to get ready for his arrival.

Now that baby Jack is here and warm days are upon us, Justin and I are ready to get back to our backyard.

Here are the things I’m loving that will help make our backyard a space we want to spend time in this spring and summer:
