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!

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 145

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #145! I’m so happy you’re here! This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. This week was a little rough. It started with my husband having a cough, sore throat, sneezing, and whole-body aches. Of course, that was passed on to the rest of us, but we have been so fortunate to just have a sore throat. This calls for plenty of hydration, vitamin C, and occasional medication. I hope you all had a nice week. Just yesterday, the weather reached 102 degrees! It definitely was hot out. Now, onto the party, we have some wonderful featured posts to share this week. Thank you to everyone who joined last week, and if you are new here, welcome! We're so gl...

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose. Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
