I should have made this a goal at the beginning of the summer, but since this is So Cal, I still have plenty of time.
#12 – Outdoor Entertaining
I have an amazing deck that has changed quite a bit over the last 8 years, but one thing remains true…I’m RARELY out there. It’s quite stupid…
I grew up with a family who spent loads of time outdoors. In fact, I’ve entertained quite a few times over the years at my childhood home, but I’ve only ONCE had friends hang out on the deck with me.
I’ve got a beautiful tree that provides shade and breeze, a nice view of the tomfoolery in the pool (my neighbors must think this is South Beach), and there’s a little greenbelt where people walk their dogs right below me. It’s a nice outdoor space and it’s about time I shared it with the people I care about!
And maybe while I’m out there, I can suck it up and start practicing #7…ya, that’s right. I’ve totally failed at my weekly goal and I’ve got no excuse for it!
Sounds amazing! I clicked the link on your deck…..it’s so pretty! I love all the colors – looks like a very fun place to hang and watch tomfoolery (love that word!).
