Pool Party Backyard Makeover + Starting My Flower Garden 🪴

Spent the past weekend returning our backyard into working order and planting my new flower garden!!! so far so good (aside from one bougainvillea casualty) and hopefully I didn't flub the whole thing toooo badly lol. Forehead = very much not okay so let this be our PSA for sunscreen ☀️

Not Lauren trying to recreate her wedding in her backyard with the florals and the twinkle tent 😂❤️ LOVE IT!

[@caitlynsaywell4389]

Jeremy making you a mini twinkle tent?! 😭😭😭

[@laurDIYvlogs]

i know i CRYYY

[@PinkCandySkies13]

I’m OBSESSED with the hour long vlogs 😭😭😭 thank you for this consistency it’s SO nice

[@laurDIYvlogs]

omg thank you for being excited about them!!!!

[@haileymaurer1129]

Jeremy definitely put Lauren’s gum in his mouth after she handed it to him to hold lol that’s love

[@laurDIYvlogs]

confirmed

[@storiesinthedust]

The black athletic dress reminds me so much of Meredith in the parent trap! Who by the way was supposed to be 26 in that movie!!!!!! My brain cannot process that she wasn’t like 35 😂

[@laurDIYvlogs]

omg spot on

[@KassieIrene1]

For the romper I think it’s because you keep doing the Oompa Loompa dance 🤣 it’s so cute on you lol

[@Cutiepenguin42]

A little recommendation for your next pool party: sunscreen reapply stickers! They look like pimple patches, but they change color to tell you when to reapply your SPF

[@laurDIYvlogs]

omg what a great invention

[@DestinyR7]

Look into the history of Target, it’s actually pretty cool. From the beginning they’ve always wanted to bring fashionable clothing to consumers at a more affordable cost. They would work with high-end fashion designers to make more budget friendly options so everyone could feel beautiful

[@misseselise3864]

“affordable” they charge $50 for a casual dress

[@hp6964]

I love Target clothes. Some of my favorite jean shorts are from Target and it’s hard for me to find anything jean material I like anymore

[@zgyenes14]

the excited shaking and gentle sitting of the summer bird is SO REAL. also first married hosting/party!!! so exciting!!!

[@laurDIYvlogs]

LMFAOOO I was (still am) HYPED

[@aishuwaryasudarshan5480]

Bougainvillea are resilient plants and they will survive as long as they have water and lots and lots of sun. I loveeee the colours. It’s going to look so great in 3-4 months once it starts climbing your fence

[@eyesofivy]

I got sun poisoning in April in the northeast on a cloudy day, the skin on my face blistered in one spot, sun screen is important even if you think it doesn't matter.

[@Lau3464l]

Yes!! UV doesn’t discriminate. Melanoma rates are going wayyyyy up for people in their 20s and 30s!

[@lisamoll]

Maybe the pink and orange flower is just a little stressed from the planting and that’s why it is looking like this. I would keep an eye on it and see if it’s going to rebounce

[@laurDIYvlogs]

ok keeping my fingers crossed!!

[@ashlywacker3361]

I loved how long this vlog was 10/10 ✨

[@laurDIYvlogs]

GOOD FEEDBACK

[@se_charlie6022]

Reengineering the romper sounds fun 😊

[@gabcaoagas]

an HOUR VLOG??? she said imma bless the people today🥹🤍

[@Thisbnikki]

Worst case make a top out of it. Totally doable!

[@leslie5606]

I LOVE ALMOST AN HOUR VLOG

[@caitlinjoy2828]

Oooh can’t wait for your gardening era

[@eyeseajujubee]

“That’s all that’s on my shopping list” doesn’t apply to Target 😂 I love all the flowers and your gardening era!! 🌼🌸 Diggy was living on the edge with the pool

[@katiejpg]

The flowers look absolutely gorgeous and brings so much color to the yard!! ❤ Thank you for bringing us on your adventures and making memories! Can’t wait to get to experience along your flower journey 💐

[@roseingersoll]

my mom has a large collection of target birds, mainly winter and christmas ones with a few others sprinkled in, and we actually started adding them to the christmas tree decor by perching some of them on the branches!!! it’s quite cute because they somehow match the color theme of the rest of the decor 🥹

[@zoienicolechannnel]

Lovinggg the long vlogs! Please keep doing it when you are able too! 🥰 I literally get so excited when I see you post a new video or when wild till 9 posts a new episode.

[@baileestouvenel7667]

Absolutely love this video 🩷😍🩷😍 love love love how long it is! Hoping your sunburn heals quickly into a beautiful tan 🩷👏

[@sierramorton3201]

Living in Minnesota, and being a plant person, it's so fun to see all the varieties of flowers you have !!

[@melissaneal3808]

I too believe that everything should be able to go in the dishwasher and washing machine too!!! 👍🏼

[@kindrajayne3734]

I’m excited for your garden. 🥰

[@katiebowman8915]

I've been waiting for you to enter your flower girl era for yeeeearssss I'm beyond excited!

[@gwenmiceli8990]

The way he just willing took the gum from your mouth in his hand. That’s love!!

[@groovymelz]

I love Jeremy with the home video vibes when you got home ❤

[@kalooskievlogs]

LAUREN I LOVE THE LONG VLOGS SM

[@aimeeplaugher2155]

Since they are already a pretty good size, the root system should be able to handle it! breaking up the dirt/ "stretching" the roots out a little also help the plants to root into the new dirt too.

[@kindrajayne3734]

I also love the bubble puff purse!!

[@kindrajayne3734]

The lemon 🍋 pillow looks so cute!

[@laurapresley8807]

Love this! Heads up that the foxgloves you loved are poisonous for animals! Lots of puppies are fine around them but it’s worth keeping an eye on the pups around them if they’re outside (which I know you are super attentive too anyways)! If you like snapdragons but can’t find them right now, try looking into annual salvia! They are that gorgeous blue flower that blooms their head off and are super easy to take care of too! Love that you’re getting into this :)

[@laurapresley8807]

I should definitely have just waited to comment this because you already knew! It all looks so pretty :)

[@briveegee]

Growing up in Southern California there was always May Gray and June Gloom, it’s a long season of gloomy mornings!

[@DinoMax473]

Oh no!!! my toddler woke up from his nap. Have to put this 1 HOUR VLOG on pause. 🤩

[@samanthaferraro1454]

LOVING the long vlog SOOOO MUCH

[@MonicaTheMad]

That romper looks adorable on you!

[@mizztonesha4882]

I love the long vlogs sooooo much 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹

[@julieta8683]

Haven't seen your vlogs since your wedding vlog so this is great 😄👏🏻

[@yarlenyrodriguez5349]

The romper looooooks adorable girl!!! Personally I love how it looks on you

[@mayleenmorell8928]

I LOVEEEE YOUR VLOGSSS I NEVER WANT IT TO END🥹

[@sarahlandry7156]

The cute aggression with the burb was EVERYTHING 🤌

[@marccolomayt82094]

Cool DIY-lifestyle vlog! ❤❤

[@kindrajayne3734]

The boys look ready to party!

[@amberspade15]

i know i’m late, but i’m so excited to watch as always!👏🏽💗

[@rileyspeicher]

You can always freeze that extra bag of buns for later ❤️ love you Laur!

[@jillhartranft6338]

also if rerompering and making a dress doesn’t go well you can also make it just a top! i’ve done that before and doesn’t turn out half bad!

[@XximwishinxX]

May grey and June gloom.

[@meggiesmyth]

If you reengineer the romper and it doesn’t work out on the bottom half (which I have full confidence you will make it work❤) you can always cut it into a cute little top!

[@jayla0881]

sooo hoping your experience with the bougainvillea goes better than mine, but you may regret putting them that close to your pool, the flowers are so pretty but get out of control especially when its windy. and dont give up hope on the one in the middle, they make amazing comebacks! love your backyard makeover!!

[@harmanwaraich70]

An hour long vlog?! Love to see it, for the sunburn honestly try putting aloe vera on it!! The cooling sensation with the burn will make the pain go away and it'll help heal it faster sometimes even!

[@EKEastlake]

Foxgloves make the bees happy! 🐝

[@lmarr04]

Good job Right on 😊

[@melaniejaneprocter5529]

Flowers look amazing ❤❤❤XX

[@amberrosen]

42:30 doggies are so cute!❤

[@angelasalinas-so3fr]

I for sure would have done the same math haha also I can confirm I have done that math while planning food for a party! It’s almost impossible to gage the bun situation when having a party. You either have not enough or you end up with more leftovers then u want lol 😂 also ligit have not been to target in ages and you definitely made that trip look relaxing and just so aww. If that makes sense ❤

[@armysandblinks]

Lauren love the vlogs and the outfit

[@jenniferwisneski1195]

Snapdragons are very easy to start from seed. The plus is they’ll self-seed and you’ll have snaps next year without having to lift a finger! Foxgloves are toxic, they will self-seed as well. Just don’t plant food crops in the same soil. I believe you said the puppers won’t eat them. I don’t trust that mine won’t eat a plant. I swear she’s half goat. 😊

[@amandabeerman4105]

The bright flowers look 👍and so fun! I actually think you could add some additional tiny flowers into the containers with the bougainvilleas (thinking like sweet alyssum, moss roses, mini petunias pansies, etc.) Also, your comment about the composite decking feeling like such a cool color, have you thought about maybe at a minimum replacing the composite boards on the vertical section around the potty area and planting area with a little warmer color/ wood tones? Breaking up the use of grey on grey composite boards would likely make it feel less stark/cool. Even more so if also do the vertical boards around hedge retaining wall

[@anitapelletier3541]

Uv rays are the strongest when the weather is overcast I learned the hard way as well I was at the beach and thought I'll be fine it's not sunny today wrong! Burned my shoulders and upper back so bad and hurt for a week!

[@dakoytastargazer]

Lauren in her garden era ❤

[@kindrajayne3734]

🍋 platter ♥️♥️

[@jocelynmactavish7852]

Cheese and Caramel popcorn together is crazy!

[@stephanieg9520]

Loool I had the same issue with the target romper

[@imsarahstepanek]

I think the romper is adorable on you!

[@kindrajayne3734]

I ♥️♥️ Your flowers!!

[@sarahlandry7156]

The gum is the most wifey thing. I loved the Jeremy section 😂

[@caitlinjoy2828]

Been looking forward to the target content!!

[@jackelinesandoval9151]

no way i’m here 3 minutes after uploading AND ITS A LONG ONE🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@kindrajayne3734]

I ♥️ The bird!!

[@nerdysophie1815]

Hi queen I love you and your vlogs ❤

[@Talyuhhh]

I eat up the long vlogs I love them so much

[@brisalas7806]

Target quality is over the moon! The last time I was in the US, bought some pj's, and I still use them...That was 10 years ago lol

[@dianayu406]

The middle one looks like it could have just been transplant shock? From moving the plant to the ground or a new pot/planter the disruption of the roots or change in soil or anything could cause the plant to react and look different (droopy leaves/flowers, color change). I don't think it would die? Should recover with normal care and watering.

[@KyndraBarroga]

Lauren I’m the same way. Don’t buy me something that has to be washed by hand. Dishwasher everything. Also I love when Jeremy takes over the vlog 😂

[@LaurDIY]

AGREED

[@nicolelremy9122]

ooo the black dress from target reminded me of the outline of the 13 going on 30 dress

[@mercedesdruiz]

I think if you went with a small in the romper it would probably look better on the front half, only bc with the pulling from the top and stretching from the midsection is now allowing the fabric to flow nicely how you want.

[@samanthakube2081]

I think that romper could become a cute dress!

[@hp6964]

Snapdragons!!! Absolutely love that. Also thought you looked cute in the romper! I understand your concern though and think turning it into a top if you don’t like the way it looks after undoing the bottoms would be cute Edit: Oh no😔. I didn’t know it had to be in season for Snapdragons for you to get them

[@taylormarie04]

Ughhhhh I love long vlogssssss

[@asmmovies0220]

13:46 brunch and a baby shower is so 30s and I’m here for it

[@martinaschlagl3882]

Those foxgloves are damn pretty! 😍

[@jillhartranft6338]

jeremy is so dry with his humor and constantly has me cracking up

[@cxrmodz_yt]

Low key love the small garden with the gravel tho what we have done in our front yard where we have our flag pole we put down black mulch and honestly I think it would look great where that gravel is

[@cxrmodz_yt]

But with that gravel still being there I definitely think it looks great 🙌

[@dakoytastargazer]

Diggy gone rouge 😂 rolling so close to the pool

[@HAppytobeHer]

Contrary to the sunscreen basket logic, I keep a little sunscreen in each bag, purse or backpack I would use in summer! 😂 lesson learned

[@dylansousa5571]

Lauren i love your videos

[@dumplingdemi]

The entire sunburn portion all I was thinking of was the 'KWISPY' meme.

[@RomantasyGirl]

You look awesome in the romper!
