[@lyndseymcguire8190]

It is finally is the 70’s is south East Idaho. We always have short summers but we make the most of them. The porch looks beautiful.

[@franceskloos1297]

Love the way your front pouch turned out, we decorate with patriotic in the front and leave it up all summer, we just love the red, white and blue, to show our support for those who protects us. We just love summer to hang outside in the warm weather. ❤️🇺🇸

[@espegoodbread3554]

My black rocking chairs are a stable at our porch. Had them for years. Happy Memorial weekend.🇺🇸

[@olgamadigan5550]

Love that you’re patriotic! I too love to decorate for the seasons! I have a steal bench with pillows! I’m from Manhattan, Kansas! Thank you for your comments regarding our service members! ❤🇺🇸

[@pollybrown3204]

I loved the comment about liking the kids fingerprints on the door. I have my grandsons handprints on my slider and love seeing his little handprints.

[@joanshute3384]

Oh Lauren I just Love, Love, Love your porch. It is so Patriotic and that is what I love.i think about my grandson who is in the Army. Ilive inwilliamstown New Jersey and right now we have had a bad rain storm. Our weather is up and down one day it is 60 and then the next day it is 95. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Can't wait to see what you do next. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. 💚🙂🦋

[@campbellsmom6787]

Hi Lauren. Obviously I love your videos! But I think I most love the fact that you are not afraid to show us the “before” as well as the after. You are a real person with real dirty dishes that have to be cleaned. And children’s book bags and lunch boxes that come home from school looking as if they’d worked hard all day. Your home is amazing and you are always showing by example how we can embrace our homes and enjoy them!

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

I love Summertime, oh boy what fun, with barbecues, visitors, even with Covid, we can visit, in the outdoors. We have Patio furniture, and also lawn chairs. The colors red, white and blue we use. I love ur flags. Thank u , Lauren, for u r modeling for us how to decorate, especially the flags. May u have a great Summer and God bless u all. Everything looks beautiful. 😻 The aroma, must be beautiful and delicious in ur home. What a meal. Thanks again for sharing. 🙏🥰👏❤️👍🌹🌸🌼⭐️🌼🌺✝️🌷🇺🇸

[@sharonscott8318]

I love how your front porch turned out

[@suzanneremijn5484]

Beautiful porch!! Tomorrow Sunday May of 29 we celebrate Memorial Day in Margraten the Netherlands. There is a American WWII cemetery. We remember our liberators who died for our freedom. Still thankful for that. God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@sueintveld3719]

I live in western South Dakota in the Black Hills area. Our weather also has been very interesting. Today it is currently 95 degrees which is very warm this early, but last week it was only 45 degrees for a high and Memorial Day weekend is supposed to be 50s and 60s! South Dakota is known as the land of infinite variety which also refers to the rapid weather changes we experience. Love your patriotic porch!

[@lisacapriglione4920]

I live in northern NJ and the weather is also up and down 90s then 70s. We have a wrap around porch connected to a 62 ft. Deck in the back. I love it. We have a barrel roof over our porch. I clean it everyday when I come home from work. Just tidy it everyday so it's not so dirty and it's kept very clean all the time. Very very much a neat freak with my stuff as well. We have several seating areas. With loveseat cushioned chairs in areas with outdoor rugs and fire tables. On my railings I have beautiful black long Winchester railing pots, about 20 of them all along railing from front to back on deck. They have beautiful supertunia of white and pink that spills over them. Love love decorating and cooking. 4 years and I'll retire and can spend more time doing all that I love. Happy Memorial to you and your family!!!

THERE IS NO ONE ON UTUBE THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO YOUR TALENTS I AM AMAZED

[@itsmolly7253]

Hi Lauren! I’m in Greenville South Carolina and our weather has been amazing! This time of year, our neighborhood spends the evenings riding around our neighborhood on golf carts (I always bring a margarita with me), sitting in lawn chairs in the driveway, and kids chase fireflies. We keep popsicles in our garage refrigerator for the neighbor kids so when we see them, we always offer them some. Love your videos friend 🥰

[@green542]

I keep the red white and blue up until August then I move on to Fall decor. I love the red white and blue through the summer. I really feel the patriotic decor is very up lifting. I am going to try that recipe.

[@cindyrasmussen7497]

Southeast Idaho, just mowed lawn and planted flowers 💐 it's been so cold, snowy, windy, rainy here.

[@jessicasmith9599]

I know I’m a little late here, but I also love the Americana theme for summer time. I think it makes sense starting with Memorial Day and ending with Labor Day. I am similar to you where traditions and decorating for the seasons and holidays are so important to me! As a kid I remember going to school and loving how they would change the bulletin boards every month and theme them around holidays or seasons. I wanted that for my kids too.

[@gvan4436]

Love the together we sparkle rug! So inspirational! Ty

[@micheortega9981]

What a wonderful post. Love your porch. Anyone who walks buy will be delighted. That meal looks delicious. You are just amazing. Right now I am cleaning out and organizing.

[@grannybird7365]

Hello from Roseville! I love going outside early on summer mornings when it’s cool but you can feel the heat behind it. A cup of tea, and MommaKat on my lap. We watch the butterflies and hummingbirds breakfast at the heliotrope bush. Much love to you and your family.

[@lindawillis9460]

Hi Lauren, I'm in San Diego, CA. Weather here has been nice in the 70's except same as up there, can be strange with temps in the high 80's/low 90's and then in the 60's and windy and raining. But love it here. Can't wait for summer and will be getting my backyard ready. We have an enclosed patio and pool so love to get everything decorated. I go with the blue and aqua colors for my backyard and patio. We don't have a porch so nothing to decorate but during Halloween and Christmas we decorate our front yard as well as indoors. I love your porch and your patriotic decor is spot on. I like the navy and stars mat on top of the red and white. It is perfect. Always get excited when I see you have posted. You always do such a nice job. Love the cooking and recipes as well. Hope to see you soon!

[@louisechartrand5672]

I just finished watching this video for the 4th time. I too love seasonal decorating, cooking, baking cleaning & hosting. Your my favorite to watch. Only problem with being such a big fan is that I miss you between videos 🤣😉 I'm from Montreal 🇨🇦 but get inspired from many 4th of July ideas. I just skip the blue 😉 I would love more content on patriotic decor for inside the home. Thanks for being so sweet, calm & genuine. I could listen to your videos all day.

[@mayadrachman1782]

I live in Israel, and it's 32 degrees here! Just came back from the beach. The kids are asleep, and i rest on the couch watching this video😍😍 your decor is stunning! So fun to watch!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Your porch looks very patriotic! The decorations on the door pop!

[@pameladolan4937]

Your porch is so pretty and patriotic. I decorate our front porch in June with a patriotic theme and leave it up all summer. For Memorial Day and the 4th of July, my husband places a lot if flags in the front yard, including flags for the POWs and the MISs. He is a veteran, so all the servicemen and women and veterans have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for sharing!

[@catherinestrong4470]

The porch is adorable, the ravioli yum yum yum

[@debbielenoir5472]

Love how your front porch turned out! Just finished decorating our front porch with patriotic decor. We also had stumps from a large oak tree we lost during Hurricane Laura. My husband is dragging them to the front of the deck to plant some flowers in the hole that went all of the way through the center of the tree. He also discovered a partial cedar tree floating in the bayou. Perfect for planting flowers inside the large hole in the center of the tree. My husband also planted some white hydrangeas in two large white planters. We are having shrimp burgers grilled on the gas grill tonight. Tomorrow night I’m going to try to make homemade pizza on my new pizza stone.

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

I particularly loved the white wreath with the pinwheels inside! How very cute! I do red/white/ and a purple blue on the porch for the summer....red/white geraniums with purple/blue lobelia and patriotic decor. I do more vibrant pink variety of florals on the back deck.

[@lindacomer2296]

Love, love, love your porch. It’s the best….well not really. Nothing will ever beat wrapping your entire house in red ribbon for Christmas. Oh, Lauren…how can you ever beat that??? ❤️🇺🇸💙

[@dianecervantes2662]

Your front porch looks beautiful 👍👍 I have a blessed weekend 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shirleygardner7456]

Lauren your porch looks so inviting. I live in North Carolina and our weather has been so unpredictable also. We’ve had a couple days in the 90’s and then days in the 60’s. We spend a lot of time on our front porch also. We have wicker rockers,a love seat and six chairs all of wicker. The name of our little town is Faith. We are known for our Fourth of July celebration. The Saturday night before the fourth we kick it off with a street dance with a live band. That week we have amusement rides in our park and our civic clubs take turns cooking and selling food each night. Also different bands perform free of charge each night of the week. Then on the day of the fourth there is a parade. That afternoon there are old fashion games and a baseball game. Then it ends with fireworks.

Hi! I live in Dallas and it’s very sunny and 90 degrees. Sadly I don’t have a porch but our backyard has a picnic table and we love it

[@nancygold2928]

It does look presidential but it's still cute. I love ❤ how your front doorway turned out. It's very cute and festive for summer.

[@amykimball5953]

Hi! I’m from south central Alaska, and our weather this summer has been a dream! So far we have had early warm weather and the perfect amount of rain mixed in. 🌦 Right now we are moving to a new house with a similar porch and entryway, when our previous porch was too small. I’m so excited to decorate and put some cute seating in our new place!

[@simplylakelace5011]

Absolutely beautiful!! Happy Memorial Day!🇺🇸🍉

[@joannallen1989]

Yours is the first channel I ever watched. Now I try to never miss your videos. I love the look of your porch. Here in west Texas it is too hot to sit outside except early in the morning or later in the evening.

[@user-gn6dj4fc1y]

I live in midland, Texas. We have had a week of over 100. A few cool days. But today was 104. We have rocking chairs on our front porch. Which I always love.

Oh my! You are having beautiful weather. We live in Las Vegas its horrible windy and Hot!!!! Is pollen is way up allergies are way bad. Can't wait to see your summer porch!!! And yes we have a awesome backyard but way to hot to go back there.

[@beckymorton6655]

I had a cute porch at our previous farmhouse in Maine and a screened in building off our patio that we spent alot of time in. Now that we are in Florida it's the lanai and my pool :) I swim every day here. But it does get hot in Florida so we head back home to Maine for a few weeks with our lab Bella and rent a camp on the lake. Love going home. I miss my friends so much. Next week we head to your area for wine tastings! It looked warm there lately but temps going back to the 70s when we arrive so that will be nice :) Your porch always looks great!

This cheered me up. Our friend passed away after her battle with cancer last weekend. She and her husband are US Veterans. We won’t be celebrating the holiday this weekend as my husband will be traveling to the funeral 😢but seeing your pretty decorations let me celebrate a bit.

Lauren your porch is gorgeous❤Love the round decor it's like it adds a pop to the flags and all...I live in NC. It has been 105 degrees 87 degrees, and in the fifties at night. Thunderstorms, and some rain. A little crazy but it is like in the 90's usually in July, August, a d September. But it has come slightly earlier this year so far. Thanks for sharing all your decor, recipes, and hospitality. Have a blessed and fabulous summer😊❤🇺🇸

[@galabeals3587]

I live in the Texas Panhandle where it is very hot and always windy. I t is difficult to have nice outdoor decor because it blows away. I typically like to decorate with flowers and birds. I enjoy bright colors.

[@juliefortner2502]

Hello from KY... super hot to cold, windy and rain...weather is all over the place... porch turned out beautiful, just the motivation I needed to decorate tomorrow before we have a big family cookout Sunday... I also have 2 black iron bounce chairs with small table. I keep the front porch simple since I have 4 more seating areas out back

I am close to you, living in Northern California near Foothills, not far from our dear State Capital. Challenging times indeed! Praying for kind weather for our animal rescue and shelter here in California too. Blessings Mimi

[@Chell1496]

Hi Lauren! My decor pieces for summer is teal and white with summer florals. 🌸 Then I will decorate for the 4th of July and leave that up for July. Then go back to the teal and white for the rest of the summer till September and then I will do Sunflowers and darker Fall colored florals. 🌸 The porch looks so nice! 🌸

[@jeanieturner5183]

[@brittanydudley3930]

South eastern Wyoming here! We have an older home as well and don’t have much of a porch (wish we did). I’ll be putting up a bunch of flags, patriotic wreath, and planting flowers here real soon. In our area we have a longer winter so I usually wait until June to plant. Almost that time can’t wait! I started following you because my style is very similar I love mixing antique Victorian inspired things with new things. I’m definitely not a minimalist lol. I love pictures on the walls and color... Love watching your decor ideas!

I’ve been waiting for your Summer porch decorate - you always give us so much inspiration! It’s been so windy (and dusty!) in Houston this Spring that I didn’t even attempt to clean our patio till last week. I found a great cleaner on Amazon for my wicker furniture and got everything nice and fresh with new cushions and flowers. Timing was perfect because we had a little cool front this week and I was able to enjoy breakfast and lunch outside twice. Now we’re back in the 90s - ugh!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes and decorating ideas!

Hey Lauren from Orlando, Florida. It’s very hot and humid here but we are expected to get some rain.

Hello from Miami, Florida. I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos. I love them. So summers in Florida are extremely hot and humid. We love to go to the beach in the late afternoon, have dinner there and watch the sunset. It’s amazing. We also take advantage of the mornings but from 11am to 4pm is too hot to do anything. We have an entryway, not a front porch and I decorated with flowers and potted plants for summer. I add flags and a few decorations for the 4th of July. My back porch is where we hang out and it is filled with plants, flowers and a porch swing. I love it!

Next coming November we will be traveling to Michael's and Kirkland to see the beautiful everything they've have in the stores. This summer I'm looking at your videos to see how I will decorate my dining table and bombe chest. I would like you to see how I had decorated for the past fall and Christmas. Looking at your decorations and integrating my own ideas. I'm so glad to see you. And continue working with it. I might open my channel and giving in my ideas and including your ideas too. And telling the people that you inspire me. If you don't mind.. I will say your name.. I love your cooking. God bless you 🙏so much. I love everything you do. Thanks for sharing 👍😊 👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌱⚘🌿🌻
