Welcome Autumn

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
― Lauren DeStefano, Wither





Well hello, sweet Autumn, I'm so thrilled you have arrived. It's been a little on the chilly side late at night, and early morning. The air is crisp, the smell of rain lingers, and I think I'm in love with having cooler days. This weekend we enjoyed chasing our daughter around, her laugh is contagious-I absolutely love her sweet, and gentle giggle. She's feeling so much better, and so we have been enjoying having her back to her old self. (Thank you for all your kind words while my daughter was recovering from a pretty nasty cold). I appreciate it so much! I finally got around to taking out some of my Fall decorations. I haven't got around to putting all of them up, but I figure I will soon.  Lately, I've been burning a few candles-Apple spice and warm pumpkin. I love how it fills the house each evening, I just feel so at home.

We ended the weekend by taking our daughter to two parks. It was nice to get out and enjoy some play time, and fresh air. We all had a great time. After the park, we headed home and my husband made us some homemade chicken potpies. It was perfect, especially with the rainy weather. We ended our night with my husband singing to our daughter (Disney's Princess tea party sing-a-long) while we enjoyed some baked pumpkin cookies. It was a perfect end to a beautiful weekend.
How did you spend your weekend?

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone!

Materials Three pin cushions Glass jars (I'm reusing my garlic jars) Mod Podge Paintbrush Acrylic paint Sewing and craft accessories to add to each glass jar Adding Mod Podge and Paint to jars To give my jars a stained glass appearance, I combined my Mod Podge and paint.

Create a stunning DIY holiday decor with this step-by-step guide on making a wintery foliage bowl. Learn how to craft a beautiful centerpiece that brings the essence of winter into your home. Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea. The three main materials you will need for this craft are a bowl, a cork, and some wintery foliage.

You can easily put this project together in less than 15 minutes, and it looks absolutely beautiful once it's displayed. So, if you're ready, let's start creating! Here's what you'll need One bowl (any size works, I am using a smaller bowl for my design) Wintery faux foliage Cork (I am reusing a cork from a salt bottle) Hot glue Floral cutters (to cut foliage to size) Pinecones (optional) Attaching the cork to the bowl To begin, turn your bowl...

Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

🎃 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...
