Weekend love {❤}








Baked apple cinnamon chips, sweet kisses, and cool gentle breezes-Oh, how I love weekends.
This weekend I made some delicious baked apple cinnamon chips. And may I add, our home smelled absolutely lovely! We enjoyed this sweet, healthy snack as the autumn sunset.

Baked apple chips

Lately, I've been doing a lot of baking. I've been flipping through a few cookbooks, hoping to find a recipe that stands out. We have used our cookbooks quite a bit in the past. This weekend I made us a delicious dish-Grilled kielbasa with pesto sauce and noodles. 
 (how-to-simplify-Grilled Kielbasa and pesto penne)

This weekend, the weather was beautiful. The temp stayed in the mid-'60s, with a light cool breeze. I've started gathering gloves, sweaters, and even winter hats just to have them ready for when the cold weather decides to stick around. I've started preparing our home for winter weather. Tucking away summer blankets and replacing them with warmer ones. I took some time to clean out closets this weekend, rearranging a few things and dusting along the way. 

Besides baking and rearranging around here, we also enjoyed some bonding time. We relaxed while watching Wallace and Gromit.  I laughed quite a bit, and so did our little one. Lately, our daughter has enjoyed writing letters and sending them off in her mailbox. This weekend, I helped her write a quick letter to Daddy. I asked her what she wanted it to say, and she responded with, "Today I went potty". (Of course, I laughed a little.) I thought it was so cute! So we wrote her a letter and placed it in her mailbox for Daddy to read.  She sure does brighten our day. I'm sad to see the weekend come to a close, but I'm happy to say it was definitely a lovely and productive weekend spent with my loved ones.  How did you spend your weekend? I hope you were also able to enjoy this nice, cool Autumn weather. :)

Hello to all my blog friends, and welcome new ones! So happy to have you here.

    I know how you feel about weekends. I look so forward to them as a time to just enjoy each other's company. I definitely enjoyed my past weekend and glad to see you did too. I'm loving this weather and as much as I would love a snow day winter can hold off a bit :)

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Hi everyone! How was your week? This week, we were blessed with more rain, and I am so thankful. It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right.
