When I was updating the front porch, I hunted and hunted for a simple farmhouse-y welcome sign, and couldn’t find what I wanted. So, I headed to the unfinished wood aisle at Hobby Lobby and found this little gem for $6 ($3.60 with my 40% off coupon).

Hubby and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs Hubby and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs and had the best time! ❤️ We took off as the sun was rising in OKC and landed in the mountains! 🥰 It was so good to get away together! We hit all the high points (pun intended haha) - Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Seven Bridges. We hiked everyday! Can’t wait for our next adventure!! 🥰
