Good morning and happy Monday! We just returned from a looooong road trip home from Nebraska. Mr. Hoff's extended family lives in Nebraska, so we had lots of fun with family, and Miss L. had a great time playing with cousins, swimming in hotel pools, and staying up way too late every night. We're gonna need a couple of days to recoup. After returning home from a 11(ish) hour road trip last night, all I can say is thank goodness for electronics.

The Back Deck {And I need YOUR vote!}
Oh, this deck. It's been a bit of a "problem area" for me since we moved in... When we first moved here, we gratefully took the hand-me-down outdoor furniture that my grandmother gave us. It was great, but it didn't really reflect my style. I bought new chairs and tried to make that work with the old table for a while, but it never really came together the way I'd hoped. This year, I decided to take the plunge and buy new furniture for our outdoor area, and I have to say, I'm SO glad I did. ... Read More about The Back Deck {And I need YOUR vote!}
