This week the weekend view is full of home projects, cleaning, family fun and birthday celebrations. And it is Father’s Day weekend too- so a fun filled weekend of celebrating all around!
Happy Father’s Day to both of my dads, my husband and my boys and all the dad’s today.

Weekend Fun

We were knee deep in cleaning and fixing projects here last week. We had a family gathering on the calendar and we were hosting it at our property- which means 2753 things were on the to-do list. Projects on the back burner moved up & some updates in the kitchen and bathrooms as well as outdoors. I will blog all about those soon – for now, it is just about weekend fun and fun birthday girl celebration!

Sweet Sophie

Sweet little Sophie is turning 1 this month and so, with the family getting together, we thought we would also celebrate her at the same time.

Sophie is grand baby #4 and is such an absolute sweet treasure. She is baby sister to big brother Enzo and loves to be cuddled, loves to share her snacks and has the sweetest temperament.


There were 3 kiddie pools set up for lots of swimming and splashing, several seating areas and 2 lengths of dining tables for lunch.

There was a last minute DIY project to create a fun little spot for the kids to play in- I will share more about it. It was such a fun day with family!


Coming your Way

Hello dear courtney,
Happy birthday to the little one !
I love your site, and thank you for the inspiration that you are sharing.
i was wondering if you could share on your blog, the to-do-list of all the things that you had noted down for this birthday party / family gathering.
not the private stuff but all the details that made this come to life. like a compass…
i feel it is overwhelming, and feel so creatively stuck…
thanks for your comment. take care, XOXOXO
Hi Courtney, I know i should comment on the kids, Of course they are all adorable! But what cought my attention is the vintage probably even antique tablecloth. Sooo beautifulI think I might have somewhere one that is similiar (almost). PERFECT fit for a GIRL’S party.
