It's Almost Spring

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Three more weeks, and Spring will be here.  Then it's only a few shorts months until it is summer, which means swimming! Now that the kids and I will be living with mom for a while, we will be able to enjoy the pool whenever we want.  That also means that I want the pool area to be comfortable and fun. 

Pier 1 is making all their outdoor furniture available again, and I have found so many things I would love to have for my mom's yard.  The first thing I want is this:

It's a drink holder.  You just fill the top tub with ice and let the drinks sit in it and get all chilly.  We would have to keep it under the gazebo tent so that the ice melts a little slower, but I think it would do a good job of keeping our beverages refreshing.

 

I also love this double papasan chair:

I can see myself, or the kids, relaxing in he sun all snuggled up in that chair.  It could also be used indoors.  I could probably talk my mom into finding some fabric to make a custom cushion cover.  Of course, it would have to be purple fabric with elephants.  Are you surprised?

You can sign up for the Pier 1 Outdoor newsletter and also sign up for a special in store offer for the weekend of March 18-20.  They are also having a bunch of different Pier 1 Tweetups, where bloggers and tweeters can meet up and check out all things Pier 1.  I wish I lived near one of those cities, because I would love to do a little networking.
