Plant Your Bottom Down Here

Gooooood morning!! We turned yesterday’s pickings into a green smoothie for Mazen’s breakfast today. Along with some buttered toast — his favorite. I just got back from dropping him off at camp, and he has made some new friends this week. He couldn’t wait for his friend Shamage (I hope I am spelling that right) to see his Batman shoes today!

I usually get up between 6:30 and 7 and have coffee while Mazen eats breakfast. This week I’ve been dropping him off at camp and then coming home for my breakfast around 9. I kind of like spacing it out. Today I had peach and strawberries with Snowville Creamery yogurt and some chocolatey granola.

this !

My new Pottery Barn Sunbrella cushions came in and they are LOVELY. As I mentioned in this post, the two previous versions of the PB Canvas were pretty bad, so I was able to exchange them for credit towards the expensive Sunbrella kind. Even with credit, 20% off, and a $50 rewards certificate, they were still expensive, but I am hoping they are the last outdoor cushions I ever buy!

The fabric is soooo soft, and they feel very well made. I ordered the Cast Mist color, which I actually thought was going to be gray, but I like the light blue they turned out to be just fine. The cushions came with all the back pillows too, but since my white ones are in good shape, I’m leaving those on for contrast right now.

I leave the pillows out full time, but I have been bringing the cushions in and out for parties. Like this girls’ night I had not too long ago!

Also totally loving these new Toms Wedges I bought for summery dress-up events. I am obsessed with the neon orange color, and they are super comfortable. I love that the straps keep them tight on my feet so there is minimal rubbing aka blisters. I might even wear these in the wedding! I ordered these at the same time, because I am obsessed with Chambray and because they could be a flat version of wedding shoes — and something blue!

Speaking of the wedding, I’ve been listening to this song on repeat with tears in my eyes. I am thinking it might be the perfect processional tune!

I had my ring resized this week (it was a tad too big) and while there they cleaned ‘er up and she is sparkling like brand new again. I need to be a little more careful with the spray sunscreen — that junk will dull any sparkle! Shout out to Andrew Minton Jewelers!

See ya!

    I’m probably late to this but did you move? I’m over here looking at the screen like where’s the back porch? I dream of having an enclosed porch like that to keep mosquitos away but still enjoying the outdoors. I love our outdoor furniture and need to get some sort of couch/loveset set for my backyard.

    s/n: you should totally got teach a class at the Stonefield WS store. I was always bragging about you to the manager before she left.

    I love that song. I sang it at a friend’s wedding so I agree- it’s perfect for weddings!

    Just an FYI the thumbnails at the bottom of previous posts get goofy for me. For example, the “live dangerously” post currently features the Adele screen shot as its thumbnail. I’m not sure if this happens for anyone else or it’s just my computer- just thought I’d give you a heads up!

      Someone else pointed that out. I think WP was just picking the first image uploaded as the featured photo, even if i didn’t use it in the post. Sometimes I upload something but then don’t end up using it (like Adele yesterday!) Should be fixed now!

      Do you sing for a living? That’s so exciting and such an honour to sing that at a wedding. 🙂

    I love Adele’s cover of Make You Feel My Love!! I got married about a month ago (May 13), and it was our first dance song.

    Re: cleaning your ring. Use regular dish soap and an old toothbrush. That’ll keep it sparkling!

      They told me dish soap can leave a film, but that Windex is great for home cleans!

    Wow, I am in LOVE with those Toms Wedge Sandals! They are so adorable and I love that they are from a company who is so vested in helping others, so we can both look fashionable while making a difference!

    “Make You Feel My Love” is a gorgeous song — it’s actually written by Bob Dylan (from his album “Time Out of Mind”). The Adele version is beautiful, and Billy Joel does a nice cover as well. Check out the original too!

      I was wondering who wrote the original because I know it as a Garth Brooks song! (Go ahead and roll your eyes 🙂 ) I have listened to a ton of the covers though, including the Bob Dylan original. Adele’s is my very favorite!

        I didn’t know Garth Brooks did a cover, that’s so cool (and I wouldn’t roll my eyes — never be ashamed to like the music you like!). My friend told me that Garth also did a really famous cover of Billy Joel’s song “Shameless” and I felt silly that I didn’t know — I think his version was even more popular than the original.

        Anyway, I’m getting married in September and both the Adele and Dylan versions of “Make You Feel My Love” are on my playlist. The music part of wedding planning is so much fun! But then again I’m a total music dork, haha.

    I love the color of your outdoor furniture cushions! And the contrast with the white back pillows looks great!

    I also love your shoes! That tangerine color would be something that I would choose since it is not your typical colors!

    Great song choice! I had my cousin play this on piano while I walked down the aisle and it was perfect <3 Best of luck with your wedding plans.

    For our wedding, I walked down the aisle to Adele’s “make you feel my love”!!! It was a lovely song…..not a dry eye in the room! Have fun with all the wedding planning!

    Hi! I love your patio furniture. What umbrella is that? We recently moved and went from a covered patio to an uncovered one. We live in Utah and need some shade for the heat of the summer! That umbrella looks like it would be the perfect fit!

      Link and photos in this post! I love the umbrella from the base up, but I hate the base itself because it looks so dirty! I’m trying to see if Thomas could build me a wooden box around the base?

    Not trying to be negative here, and I love the song, “Make You Feel My Love,” but is a song that contains the line, “I know you haven’t made your mind up yet” really what you want for your wedding? Kinda like “I Will Always Love You” is commonly used, but it’s a break up song.

    • KathEats says

      June 20, 2017 at 7:59 am

      I doubt anyone would notice that line, but yes, it’s not totally ideal. Lots of people have used it though, so I think the overall message of devoted love is what’s most important.
