My next career should really be in landscape design.
When we moved to this house, we doubled our mortgage and reduced the size of our yard by at least 75%. It’s tough to design such a small space.
We spend a lot of time in our back yard. If we’re home, we’re playing outside 90% of the time. We really need a playground of some kind because the slide we bought Primo for his 1st birthday is way too small for him now. We’re broke but, funny enough, our kids aren’t. They have enough in their bank accounts to split the cost of a (very small not the one we want but it will have to suffice) playground.
Primo and I chose between the few (cheap) ones that would fit and ended up picking one with two slides, one that will fit Bella for the next two summers and one that will fit both kids until they are 6-8. When they’re big enough, the smaller slide flips over into a ladder. When I let the BG know that we had made a choice, he asked to see a complete plan for the yard before we make an investment and add to it. We’re also building a patio area and adding a slide to the deck over the next few years, so he wants to make sure it fits or some crap like that.
He got what he asked for.
Allow me to present the plan for our yard.
My next career should really be in landscape design, no?

Oooh you are much more adventurous than I! I’m like, “oh please please please can I get another lilac bush?” And he says, “where are you going to put it?” And I have to say, “yeah, you’re right, oh well, never mind.”
Good luck with it all!
