This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

We were really excited to have a mid-April spring break last week.  We were really looking forward to heading to the family beach house for the week. It's really the central meeting place for my husband's family. It's about a 5-1/2 hour drive for us to the NC coast. The beach can be iffy this time of the year. It can be a beautifully warm beach day or cold and windy. The week before spring break had been so beautiful and warm in the upper 70s. 

Our week at the beach was a different story! This was the week that spring decided not to cooperate. We had quite a few dreary, cold rainy days. It sure didn't stop us from bundling up and heading to the beach anyway!

 We enjoyed 2-1/2 days before the rest of the family arrived. That's always a sweet time before 9 more adults arrive with 2 toddlers, a newborn and 4 more dogs! One of the things we had wanted to do was a beach picnic. We do it quite frequently in the summer. This week it just didn't work out to have a picnic on the beach. So we did the next best thing…..we had a picnic at home…on the back screened porch.

A picnic doesn't have to mean that you cart your belongings to the car to go somewhere. A picnic can be at home! We changed our plans due to the weather conditions and had a simple Picnic at Home.

 I encourage you to plan a Picnic at Home. The days are getting warmer. This would be such a surprise for a weeknight! Simply call it a special family picnic and your kids will instantly get excited…they will probably even want to help set up!

We headed to the local Walmart to purchase the food on our menu and Wet-Nap wipes.  It was still a little chilly on the screened porch, but the winds were not quite as fierce! We laid all the food on the inside dining table and grilled out burgers and corn on the cob. Simply call it a picnic even if it is at home, and it just gives a fun twist on what could have been an uneventful lunch sitting in front of the TV or the floor while eating.

I don't care how old you are, wipes such as Wet-Nap from Walmart are a must. They clean hands at the last-minute before eating and are handy for clean-up while at your picnic. Big juicy burgers can be messy with all the condiments as well as corn on the cob! Wet-Nap are affordable and handy for on the go!

 I spent no money to decorate the picnic table just a bit. I simply shopped the beach house and put this together in no time while the guys were grilling. All of these shells have been found through the years on family beach strolls. We have them all over the home in baskets, bowls and lamps. They are such a natural accessory. With the colors of the carved wooden fish sculpture and the hand-made runner, you don't even notice that there are no flowers. Be creative with your centerpiece! Have some young boys, create a centerpiece with trucks and action figures! Have a book loving family? Arrange a collection of favorite books as a centerpiece and reminisce about some while feasting! Without even saying a theme, you'd be surprised how a centerpiece can drive the conversation. Keep it simple and focus on the food and fellowship!

 Since we were having a Picnic at Home, I set the table with the real stuff. Besides, it would have been difficult to keep paper products on the table with the wind. This made our picnic lunch special though. It was really fun talking about the new puppy's first beach trip. Bentley is a 4-1/2 month old Westie. He loved the beach!

Got to love a coupon!!! I have a coupon for you to try your own Wet-Nap product at Walmart! Walmart already has everyday low prices, and they are giving you a .55 cent coupon off of Wet Nap! Go HERE for the coupon while supplies last!

After the picnic, the Wet Nap wipes will be great to stuff in pocketbooks, backpacks, lunch boxes and sports bags! That handy canister will be found in the glove compartment of my car! They were definitely needed when we went by our favorite ice cream shop while at the beach (a few times)! Happy picnic season! I'd love to hear your picnic ideas and how you try to make even the simplest moments for your family special!

    It looks like you guys had a great time! Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate for the beach.
    I have to agree- even though my boys are growing out of the stage where I have to use wipes on them all the time, I still find myself using wipes for other things! They make cleanup so much easier. 🙂

    I love a picnic in any season. Your screened porch looks like a great place to relax with your family. I’ll have to check out Wet Naps and use the coupon. It would be great to have those on the dock for summer boating picnics.

Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going thr Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going through the comments on my last post as well as DM about going gray! I just colored my hair on Thursday morning so I've got a couple of weeks to decide. I'm going to go on and pause my eSalon order. Something that I was suprised to see was that many of you have tried this multiple times...some even 7 times. That makes me feel better. I can always color it again. 

What are you doing today? You'll find me in the mudroom painting today. I got a lot primed this week, but had to take a break to work on blog content. It can be hard sometimes being a one woman show. Our dining room has been a holding area for all the crap as I've been working to organize our home one junk drawer at a time. Y'all it's happening and getting organzied is life changing. 

This is one of my favorite spots in our dining room. This THRIFT STORE MIRROR MAKEOVER is one of my top posts on the blog. It's really simple to achieve with layering paint. I'll add the link to stories. You can also find it on the blog by going to my link in bio and searching for Thrifted Mirror Makeover or check out the Thrift Store Makeover Tab. Other thrifty finds in this shot: most of the plates around the mirror, the 2 round art pieces, blue and white vase, and tray.

I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of d I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of days! 5 blog posts have been shot!!! Back to painting tomorrow. I’ve got a serious 🧐 question for you??? Have you ever thought of letting your hair go natural? As in #silversisters natural? I turned 52 in December, and I’m so sick of it. I actually colored it today. Yes, I’ve done it myself for years. It doesn’t last and got so tired of the big bucks. I’ve been following a few accounts here for quite a while of other gals that have taken the plunge. They all look so vibrant, chic and young with their gray hair. (Same age) I have a very good friend that took the plunge this summer. She went drastic by buzz cutting her long dark hair. But was done with the coloring process. I can’t do that. I’ll have to go the skunk stripe route! 🦨 Just curious! Would love to hear you thoughts and if you’ve done this. Will today’s box of light brown be my last? Would anyone want to take the journey together?

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
