Jenn Doing My Best

Here’s how I’m using the thrifted folding tables I bought yesterday.

I’m trying to create a bistro café vibe for the front porch. I still need to buy the folding chairs for the tables, but for now, I will use the captain folding chairs.

Now I can enjoy reading a good book while sipping tea on the front porch. ☺️🫖📚 Sometimes I like to put on a jazz or classical music playlist.

I love porch sitting. My favorite time for porch sitting is in the early mornings. I find it very peaceful and relaxing as I simply sit, sip, and watch the neighborhood come alive.

It’s my time—whether for a short moment or an hour—to slow down. 🐌

When I was a little girl, I remember visiting my grandparents in Florida. My grandma and grandpa would always sit on their front porch to talk with friends and the neighbors and wave at drivers passing by their house.

Other times they would just simply sit and enjoy the quiet, not needing to say a word to fill the silence.

My grandparents passed away in 2006 in their mid 90s, just two weeks apart from each other. They were married for over 70 years. ❤️

I often think of grandma and grandpa when I sit on my front porch. I think they would have loved sitting with me, Travis, and the kids on our cozy little porch. ☺️

Do you enjoy porch sitting?

💜 XO
