Yes, it’s a Gazillion Hurricane bubble maker! We’ve been using Bubble Blitz with it for the refills, which seems to work well!

Is that the Gazillion Hurricane bubble maker? Would you recommend it? I’d like to get one for my daughter’s birthday. Also, if that is the brand you got, did you stick with Gazillion bubbles for the refills? (Or if you didn’t refill, how long did the bubbles last?) Thanks so much!

I like the hanging pots idea, but I really wish you two would do more DIY than just buying things… I know you must be swamped lately with the new bun, but I find your DIY’s inspiring and would love to see more like your other two houses. :)

I highly recommend buying a garden tower for your deck. My husband got me one for our driveway since our raised bed in the back wasn’t getting enough light. It’s a little pricey (my Christmas present), but so worth the investment since everything grows really well in a small space and you can even vermicompost. Maybe you could even make your own version.

The current version (2.0)is on sale in terracotta, and I think their next version will feature a water chamber so that you can reuse the water that soaks down.

My birthday party “prep” involved an 8′ porch pillar on saw horses in the dining room and a mad dash to finish staining and sealing the stairs even though everyone would be out on the patio. So yeah, we have that problem too.

In reply to Caitlyn. Ha, I understand the fear. What Do live in the hose baskets where we live are huge spiders and that's worse for me. Anyhow great change on the backyard and door. Paint is hands down the cheapest tool that makes the biggest difference.
