One of our very favorite things to do when the weather warms up is to spend time in our backyard. We bring out our food, our drinks, music, toys, bubbles, everything. It all goes outside. Drawing with chalk, painting with water (so easy and no clean up required, high fiiiive!), running through the sprinklers, and of course eating outside. All the time. We even work out in our backyard (the breeze feels so good when you start to sweat!).
I’ve been really focusing on making our outdoor space more livable and inviting, since I realized just how much time we actually spend out there! Why not make it a fun place that is enjoyable and comfortable and looks good, right? An outdoor living space, in a sense. With the help of Walker Edison, I’ve done just that! They were so kind to send us their 4 piece patio set, which I absolutlely have been LOVING and plan on getting so much use out of this summer!
The love seat is the perfect size for me and Zack to relax on while Sam runs around the backyard and Sophie hangs out in our laps. The chairs are super comfortable too, and we love the table, where we can set our spread.
Okay, now the really exciting part! We’ve teamed up today to give away a $400 gift card to Walker Edison, so you can pick out whatever you’d like! Awesome, right?

We love going for walks along the beach here in Michigan and i also love watching my kiddos playing outside in the warm weather!
This will be the first summer in our house, and I’m looking forward to sitting on the patio at night talking to my husband. Of course oblige laying out by the pool as well.
The weekend hits and I don’t have work, I’m outside going to the lake with the baby, hiking or just sitting in the yard while the kiddo runs around.
We are in San Diego, so the beach is very high on our summer list. And the fair…and family day at the horse races…and jazz in the park…and… ;)
Anything that involves water! Running through the sprinklers, going to the pool, having water ballon fights the list goes on!
My husband and I like to just sit outside and have a drink or just sit there and talk! It’s so relaxing. We also like to have friends over and have bonfires!!
My husband and I love outdoor hikes! And surfing/stand up paddle boarding any ocean!! My Instagram handle is: lovesurf18
My favorite outside activity is reading on our hammock …. Wait, that’s not much of an activity is it? Lol
I absolutely love to go camping in tents! Bonus if there is a lake nearby to take the boat out and fish or just relax and soak up the sun :) With a drink in hand of course ;)
We have a pool but my most favorite thing to do outside is give my kids the hose and a sprinkler and have at it!! A good old fashioned water balloon fight is tops too!
My husband and I love taking walks around our neighborhood after dinne when the weather is nice!
I love to “garden” with my 3 year old (you know, where she puts boots on and stomps all over our garden space). Flowers would be pretty, but the smile she has while “helping” is so much prettier!
Walks on the trails in our neighborhood :)
Watching the kids on the swings!
My favorite thing to do outside is play in the sprinkler with my little girls.
My husband and I enjoy taking our dog for long walks every evening. We live in Arizona so we can go out almost any time of the year!
I also follow you on Instagram as well!
Inviting and livable is EXACTLY my goal for this summer! We just moved into our first home and our 6 month old LOVES being in the backyard. Currently we like to lay down a big blanket in the grass and lay under the willow tree, it’s like a giant mobile for him. When the wind blows he laughs at the willows branches as they sway; it’s just THE BEST! He also loves watching his “fur brother” Max (our pup) run in circles in his more spacious backyard; another thing that makes him giggle. ????
We’re on the hunt for patio furniture so this would be an awesome win. :))
I love spending time outside in the summertime. My favorite is just sitting on a blanket in the grass with my 6 month old. She just adores being outside. I also like to sit on my back deck drinking a glass of wine with the hubby, on the weekends, after the baby goes down at night. <3 Nice days in Wisconsin are so far and few.. I soak up all the days I can!
We like to take our bikes and ride the rails to trails every chance we get~
We love going to the farmers market and sticking up on fresh locally grown produce and normally grab a sno cone while we’re there!
I love going on hikes and then jumping in the pool after a long day! Going out on the lake all day and coming home to a nice fire (and of course smores) is always another favorite!
We love to take our bikes and go ride around downtown Chattanooga. Our daughter loves to play in the fountain and get a shaved ice. That is usually our go-to summer activity!
I love entertaining others in our backyard! Just last summer my now husband I and I got married in our backyard! It was so beautiful and such a wonderful memory. Now, we just need some patio furniture for future summer gatherings and anniversary parties!
My family lives on a farm, and we love sitting on the back deck over looking everything. It’s not a very comfortable place to sit right now, as all we have are wire chairs and an old rickety bench. I would love to surprise everyone with a place for all of us to spend time together in comfort.
My favorite activity to do during the summer is go to the park!
The little ones and I love going on morning walks to the park. We also love tending to our little garden and playing in the water!
I love to go to the lake and enjoy all day on the boat/water, followed with a BBQ! Nothing screams summer more than the lake and bbq!
We love bringing supper to the beach and going to an evening dip when my husband gets home from work!
Summers can be hot so my go to outdoor activity is anything with water! Oh and a fountain Diet Coke with pebble ice ???? Cause I mean, why not.
I love to be outdoors with my family! Especially hiking & enjoying the mountains around us! To make it more fun we are always sure to bring a picnic! Would love to surprise my wife with something nice for her birthday!
Texas is so stinkin’ hot that my first instinct is to say SWIM. But truthfully, nothing beats a late night drink out on the patio during the summer. ;)
Hosting family and friends on the deck!
One word…PATIO! Anywhere, everywhere…you’ll find me on a patio in the summertime!
One of my favorite summer activities are BBQs and pool parties! We just moved into our first home this month so I can’t wait to finally host some of our own patio parties! Plus we are expecting baby brother to join us any day now so I know this is going to be an extra fun (and busy) summer, can’t wait!!
I love eating popsicles outside on the back patio
I live in Ohio so don’t get much running done outside in the cold, dark winter months so I reeeeeally look forward to my summer outdoor runs! And eating outside is my fave!!!!! Any time a restaurant asks I request to be outside!
Paddleboarding! Hands sown my favorite outdoor activity. Grilling out is a close second.
I love gardening and just walking around with my kids discovering things with them, it never gets old!
We love having friends over and cooking on the grill. Spending quality time with those we love, creating memories and ating great food. That is the best part of summer.
Eating great food. My sincere apologies.
