🍂 Fall is the perfect season to cozy up with a creative project, and what better way to celebrate than with a charming DIY sign makeover? I recently gave a Dollar Tree sign a festive autumn refresh, and I'm excited to share the step-by-step process so you can create your own seasonal decor on a budget! Quick video tutorial Materials Needed Sanding block Acrylic paint (your choice of fall colors) Paintbrushes (including a thin detail brush) Optional: Stamp designs (I used ones with little homes) Bronze paint (for stamping) Heating tool or time to air dry 1. Prep Your Sign and   Add Your Base Coat I started with a sign I found at my local Dollar Tree—it originally read “Home.” To give it a fresh canvas, I used a sanding block to gently remove as much of the previous lettering as possible. This helps the new paint adhere more effectively and provides a smoother finish. Once the surface was prepped, I applied my first coat of acrylic paint. Choose a color that fits your fall them...

Since we live about an hour away from Denver, it’s usually our go-to spot for a quick getaway. We left our home early in the morning and decided to park at the hotel parking lot. After parking, we ventured out for breakfast/brunch. We chose to explore the menu at The Cheesecake Factory, and I’m glad we did. They offer brunch on Saturdays and Sundays until 2:00 p.m. My husband ordered the Bruleed French Toast from the brunch menu, while I opted for the Create Your Own Omelet, which came with my choice of toppings, alongside a side of potatoes and an English muffin. I also enjoyed a caramel macchiato. The girls ordered from the lunch menu and enjoyed spicy chicken sandwiches. During our time in Denver, we did a lot of walking, which we are quite accustomed to. It was wonderful to explore the area and admire the beautiful changes in the trees. While we were there, we also visited the sculpture park located at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The park features the iconic sculpture know...

🎃 Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds If you're anything like me, your favorite season is Autumn, and I get excited when making fall snacks and new recipes. My family loves it when I roast pumpkin seeds for a quick and easy snack. Roasting pumpkin seeds is one of those simple pleasures that turns seasonal scraps into a crunchy, crave-worthy snack. Here's my step-by-step method—with measurements—to help you make the perfect batch. Step 1: Scoop Out the Seeds Begin by carefully using a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the top portion of your pumpkin, making your cut around the stem to create a wide enough opening for easy access to the interior.  Once the top is removed, reach inside the pumpkin to extract the seeds. You can do this with your bare hands, but I prefer wearing a latex glove to keep things clean and comfortable—though this step is entirely optional.  Alternatively, you can use tools like an ice cream scooper, a sturdy fork, or a specialized pumpkin seed...
