September Treated Us Well.- Happenings and Sipsby Tea

Ah, sweet September...

You treated us well.

September is my birth month, and it is also the birth month of my youngest.

This month was full of laughter, joy, and beautiful moments. This month, I really just took some time to work on a few things I could do to better myself, and so I set out on a new adventure. If you haven't had the time to check out my second blog, I would love it if you did!

Steph Creates Things DIY Home And Crafts

I decided to create that blog so that I could focus on my home and craft posts! I will still share on this blog, but that blog focuses on just that. I will take you through step-by-step processes for creating affordable crafts! I also started a YouTube channel. Yes, I finally did it. I figured since I love creating crafts and working on home projects, I would love to share it with you all. So if you're interested in seeing more, my channel is Steph Creates-DIY Home & Crafts.

This month we have been working on simple projects around the house. We recently started building a privacy screen around our fire pit. So far, so good. It is coming along smoothly. I've done a lot of staining wood, and my husband has been busy building. I found a few design ideas and presented him with a few, and finally, I narrowed it down to exactly what I wanted for that space.

Life can sometimes feel a bit hectic, but when things slow down, we can enjoy ourselves. Our girls are doing well. They are seriously growing so fast. I really do wish there were a time machine, and I could go back in time. I have to remind myself that it is okay that they are growing, and no matter what, my love remains the same. I just want them to always know that I am here and that I love them no matter what.

I rarely watch the news. I'd rather not know what bad things are happening around the world. I feel like my mind is already a bit busy, and that will only be more of a distraction.

This month I received my Sipsby box, and I was excited. I was mostly excited to see if there were any teas to welcome the Fall season. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you probably already know all about Sipsby.

My September Sipsby Box

Wild Strawberry -Sips by Davidson's Organic Teas

High in caffeine

This tea is so refreshing. Every sip has a light, delicious taste of strawberry.

It is an organic black tea made with natural flavor. It includes dried strawberry powder. I really enjoyed this tea, and I loved that you could also enjoy this tea over ice.

Apple Spice- Sips by Steep & Sip

Caffeine-free

What a perfect tea to sip to welcome Fall! I really enjoyed this tea. Perfect for this cozy weather. Every sip was amazing. This tea includes apple pieces, cinnamon, rose hips, organic orange peel, and much more. This was definitely my favorite in my September box.

Immune Booster Sips by Akshar

Caffeine-free

This tea was included in my September box, and I thought this was perfect to arrive as the cooler weather arrives. It is perfect since we could all use a boost in our immune systems. Definitely would say give this tea a try. We all take out multivitamins, and just being able to sip a tea for that extra boost is wonderful.

Earl Grey Sips by The Tea Heaven

High-caffeine

I love that this tea is packed with so many health benefits, and tastes amazing! It was refreshing and citrusy. I enjoyed sipping this tea in the evening when things were less hectic, and it was time to unwind.

Be sure to check out Sipsby, and take your quiz to see what teas are a perfect fit for you!

September treated us well. And I hope the same goes for all of you.

As always, sending happy, positive vibes your way!

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space? Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated. Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
