    My name is Shyvonne (Sha-Von). I'm a wife & mother of 6 amazing kids. I love having a big family and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have 5 daughters and 1 son, ages 22-6. My son is 13 and the twins are 6. As a big family, we have so much to do and get done in the day so this is a glimpse into our one of our evening routines. I hope you enjoy.

    I love your editing -- serious skills Shyvonne : the time lapses and the music, the different angles, the tempo of sped-up vs real time, the choices in music and voice-over...
    No special gimmicks, but a great effect overall. I'm so impressed
    I went back to see the first 2 parts, because at first I thought it was just a deep clean...
    The end result is clearly a transformation & make-over, but you don't mention a lot about how you fit the puzzle together.
    I think that could be interesting, esp. since you're so creative with the budget & with involving your kids!

    Your kids will treasure and enjoy “their” pool area because they EACH put a little of themselves into it, this comes to show that real parenting still exists, without having to throw a cellphone or game console in-front of them. This backyard project will allow your kids to create memories that 30,40 years from now , will have them laughing and talking about !
    GREAT JOB MOM !

Love that you involved the kids. You are teaching them life skills, independence, goal setting, team work, the list goes on.

    I watched all 3 videos and was mesmerized. I was really rooting for you all the way. I *love* pressure washing. It's not like doing laundry or the dishes every 10 minutes. You do it once and it's amazing how much better everything looks immediately.LOVED what you accomplished. LOVED that you had kids involved. As an ex teacher & mom I'll add that you've given them another "room" to hang out in especially during this pandemic. Great job ! I''ll add one bit of advice though: Buy some sand bag weights for the tent. If you leave that tent up for days & weeks ( they say we're not supposed to do that but oh well...) one good wind will move it. Trust me on this. It could go flying as our first one did even though we had it zip tied to the deck. GREAT JOB!

    All I can say is Wow!!! great job even the kids helped with everything .looks so nice. I know that was a lot of hard work. that was a great power washer it cleaned that wall good and the steps. You did a great job of decorating and I love that table an the place setting and the chairs were awesome. It looks like the kids are having fun in the pool. I wish I could see it after dark with the lights on I bet that was really nice. Great job, God bless you all🌻👍😍

    Miss Shyvonne Melanie, I am sitting here crying, because you remind me of my mom, who raised all three of us alone. She made sure our home was something we could be proud of--and she made sure we worked hard to help, but also made time to dance with us, too. I miss that woman every day, and I am so grateful for all she did for us. I am 100% sure your beautiful children will feel the same way. Thank you for sharing this--I will be a faithful fan!

    Hi Shyvonne, You showed up on my feed & I just watched your backyard transformation. You & the kids did an amazing job. We do all our home projects ourselves too - helps teach the kids what you can do with your own hands. Looks like a really relaxing place for you all to enjoy. Looking forward to watching your other videos.

    You should think about adding some weights to each of the poles on the canopy. It will help keep it down should it get windy.

      Water weights

    • @Glotglot
      @Glotglot 4 роки тому +14

      I have many years experience with tents and some tricks of the trade. If you get four 5 gallon buckets with lids, you can fill them with water and it's easy to empty the weights without leaving sand everywhere. I find that now and then people will also sit on them while standing by to enjoy the fun. Ratchet straps directly attached to the top of the tent frame and hanging down to attach to a bucket on each corner, will give you the best stability. Don't count on just grabbing your tent if the wind kicks up. I've had more than one lift off and land in a heap elsewhere. You've done such a nice job, protecting it should be fairly cost effective.

I love how you did the chairs and I think the contrast in yellow is perfect. We got a power washer in the spring and it’s so addicting, isn’t it? 😂 great job! I hope you had a summer full of fun and family back there. Be safe!

I would ... if I didn't live in an apartment. :) It was so sweet to see you working alongside your kids, and I know that they enjoy the results much more because they participated in bringing it to pass. You made a great use of the space and it all looks very inviting. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! 🎈🧁 Happy belated birthday to the twins! 🎈🧁

    I watched all three parts of this DIY Backyard Makeover. You know, I see a lot of makeovers that show only the before, some parts of the makeover, and then the after. It’s like it happens by magic. But yours is different. The time lapse shows how much work, time, thought, planning, care, and energy you put into it. I especially loved that your kids were in on the action (I think the power washer was their favorite-mine, too!). Regarding color scheme, how inviting! Green for plants, yellow for the sunshine, and blue for the sky. All three colors echoed the entire backyard. This was truly a pleasure to watch. Brava! 👏 👏 👏

Best time of my life. Anyway, love the whole project!

    Beautiful. I love that you had your children involved throughout the entire process and the pool was a wonderful payoff for them for their sweat equity. You taught your children an invaluable life lesson about working together, having a vision and budget and showed how we can achieve our visions within our means. No matter our circumstance we can DREAM BIG. Kudos to you and your family! It looks like you got everything completed before the 4th of July holiday. I hope you will be able to enjoy your outdoor space without problems as we can sometimes encounter meanspirited individuals who try to take our joy.

    I absolutely love how you bloom where you’re planted. You made such a cute livable space. What an inspiration. And I really love how you guys work together as a team and got all that done.
    I would worry a little bit about those white pipes coming out of the house. It’s so close to the chair and looks like it vents out right towards the pool. I think I would make that vent straight up so it doesn’t vent out into your living space. If I’m right I think that’s for furnace which you probably don’t have to worry about in the summer anyway but if the kids play out there in the winter you may want to change that.
    Great job guys❤️

The rock wall is a beautiful part of the room. How nice to be able to spend time on the patio. Your color pallet and decor was very nice. The cinder blocks storage area was a great idea and you managed everything on a budget.When you show the work in time lapse it seems to go really fast. How many days did you actually spend doing it?
