porch swing dreams.

It was my dream to have a farmhouse porch swing.

The girls and I would sit out there and swing and visit about the day.

I would get up early in the morning and sit on the swing with my coffee and Bible for my daily "Jesus time".

Mr. Farmhouse and I would sit on the porch swing and watch the kids play out front, as we waved to the cars that drove by.

It was going to be wooden and "farmhouse-y" and painted a gorgeous shade of white.

It would be hanging from the ceiling of the front porch and lined with beautiful outdoor accent pillows.

​And then...Facebook read my mind and sent me an advertisement for this.

This adorable little two-seater swing was on sale for $57.99...regularly $168.71!

It was at this moment that Dave Ramsey's face popped into my head.  I had started a "sinking fund" for the porch swing and it had about $60 in it.  I could go ahead and buy this swing with that cash and be done with it until later if we decided we wanted to invest in the super-fancy model.

So I added it to my cart online and found out I would get free 2-day shipping.

And when I clicked into my cart to checkout, the truth was revealed.

The tan swing was not on sale.

The red swing was not on sale.

The camo swing was on sale. 

That's right, folks.

My shabby chic porch swing dreams had turned into a camo free-standing unit.

At the exact moment that I was getting ready to delete the camouflaged swing from my cart on Walmart.com, guess who walked through my door...

You guessed it.  Mr. Farmhouse.

Now...you may or may not know this about Mr. Farmhouse, but he LOVES him some camo. 

Mr. FH: What are you buying?

Me: Oh, I was looking at a swing for the porch, but I think I'll wait.

Mr. FH (looking over my shoulder): Wait...is that camo?

Me: That's one of the options, but I think I'll just wait.

Mr. FH: Is that $57???

Me: Uh...yeah, I guess it is.

Mr. FH: That's so awesome!

Guess what arrived today.

Maybe they accidentally sent the tan one.

I just checked online and the swings are all $129.87 now...even the camo one.

So I guess we got a good deal.

Now I just need to find some outdoor accent pillows that will complement the pattern.  ❤️🏡❤️
