Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies do NOT have to be complicated! Just add colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs to sugar cookies and suddenly you’ve got the cutest little monster cookies. 👀🎃

I love making homemade sugar cookie dough, but if you’re short on time? Grab the store-bought dough. I fully support taking the shortcut. 😂👏🏻

These easy Halloween monster sugar cookies would be so cute for a Halloween party, spooky movie night, kids’ Halloween treat, or just a fun weekend baking project.

Minimal effort + maximum spooky cute. That’s my kind of Halloween baking! 👻

Would you make these with homemade cookie dough or take the store-bought shortcut?! 👇🏻

The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

But I think it turned out absolutely adorable! 🐈‍⬛🎃 This was such an easy and fun way to personalize inexpensive Halloween decor and make it look just like your own pet.
Now I need to know… would you paint one to look like your cat?! 👇🏻

🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, load it up with all your favorite cookies, candies, chocolates, and seasonal treats for the ultimate fall dessert charcuterie board. 🍫🍬🍪

The best part?! It’s completely NO BAKE 🙌 Just grab your favorite fall and Halloween treats, arrange them on a board, and you have an easy dessert that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did. 😂

This would be SO cute for a Halloween party, fall girls’ night, Friendsgiving, movie night, or any fall get-together. 🎃👻 And you can easily customize it with whatever treats you love!

Honestly, I think dessert charcuterie boards might be better than regular charcuterie boards… but maybe that’s just my sweet tooth talking. 😆

Would you make a fall dessert board like this?! And more importantly… what treat are you grabbing FIRST?! 👇🏻

Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! 🎃

Who says the front porch gets to have all the fun?! 😂 I spend WAY more time on our screened-in porch, so of course I had to give it a cozy little fall makeover too!

This bar cart is one of my favorite spots to decorate because it’s so easy to switch out with the seasons. A few pumpkins, some warm fall colors, and simple seasonal touches instantly make this space feel so much cozier for fall. 🍁

And since this is basically my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee, I want it to feel just as festive as the rest of our home!

Of course, the cats also think the pumpkins are here specifically for them to knock over. 😹 Apparently they have VERY strong opinions about my fall porch decor.

Are you decorating your outdoor spaces for fall too, or do you keep all the pumpkins inside?! 🎃

Target Black Friday Deals

Black Friday seems to be a little different this year and a lot of stores are rolling out their deals online much sooner than normal. I thought I would share with you all some of Target’s Black Friday Deals going on now so you don’t miss out.

Target is one of my favorite stores and I often order a lot of Christmas gifts from them. And since shipping is taking longer than normal too, now would be the perfect time to start a little early Christmas shopping!

Target Black Friday Deals
Pin for Later!

Black Friday Deals For The Home

I love gifts that can be both useful and practical so I thought I would include a big list of that first. Target has definitely included a bunch of them on their Black Friday sales this year!

Kitchen Appliances

Kitchen appliances are always one of my go to’s for Christmas gifts. I always love gifting them and receiving them as well. One year, my mom and I got each other the same exact Instant Pot as a gift!

And she got one for her mom too! So obviously great minds think alike and here are some great kitchen appliances to choose from.

Vacuums And Floor Care

I would absolutely love to get a robotic vacuum for the home! Wouldn’t you?? And I saw that they have a robotic floor mop on sale too! How awesome is that?!

I didn’t even know that was a thing! That would save me so much time cleaning our annoying dark floors that show absolutely everything!

Other Home Items

I also think a Ring Doorbell or Amazon Echo Dot would make a great gift too! Those seem to be all the rage right now and I am sure they would make a perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Black Friday Deals in Electronics

Electronics are always a great thing to get during Black Friday sales! From TVs to Cameras, I have listed some of the best deals for you.

That way you can get the perfect gift for a tech lover in your life.

TVs

I’m pretty sure most of the TVs we own came from previous Target Black Friday sales. I mean how can you resist a good price on a TV?! And you can always use a newer, bigger TV right?!

Laptops

A laptop would be such an amazing gift for Christmas, especially for any bloggers out there. And thankfully Target has some killer Black Friday deals on theirs below:

Cameras

I think this year for Christmas I am asking for a nice camera. I would love to have a higher end camera to work on my blog photos more.

I currently just use my iPhone so I would love to be able to upgrade and learn how to take more professional photos!

Smart Watches

My hubby surprised me with an Apple Watch last year for Christmas and I have been loving it all year so far.

My favorite thing about those are all the fun straps that you can use and interchange. I love being able to take it from casual to dressy with just a change of the strap!

I used to be a huge Fitbit lover too so I included some options for that as well as some other beautiful smart watch options.

Headphones

I need to get some new headphones and thankfully Target’s Black Friday deals are awesome this year. Check them out for yourselves!

Black Friday Deals For Clothes

Women’s Boots

All of Target’s boots are BOGO right now which is such an incredible deal. I absolutely love Target’s shoe collection and I have several from them currently. I also continue to buy them as well.

I wouldn’t mind a pair or two for Christmas and this would be a perfect gift for a fashion lover this Christmas!

Women’s Jeans

This may be one of the best Target Black Friday Deals going on right now. Women’s jeans for only $15! Say what?! You better run and order you some right now!

Perfect for gifts or just for yourself too!

Women’s Jackets

They also have their puffer jackets on sale too. Most of them are only around $25 which is an amazing price for a big jacket like that!

Men’s Shoes

The same BOGO deal applies for men’s shoes too! They have a great selection to choose from, including many casual and/or work shoes as well.

Men’s Jeans

My hubby loves Target’s jeans so I had to share a few that were on sale with you too. They aren’t as cheap as the Women’s Jeans, but still a very good price for a great pair of jeans!

Conclusion

Hopefully this post was a little helpful for you this season. I hope it helped outlined all of the best Target Black Friday Deals going on.
Are you shopping black Friday deals this year?! If so, what is the main thing you are looking for? Let me know below!

    I’ve been looking at various Black Friday ads that have come out and some of the deals are pretty good, and it’s great that a lot of them are now online too so we don’t have to risk big crowds, etc. The items you’ve included here are a really good selection — makes looking for deals way easier!

Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies do NOT have to be complicated! Just add colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs to sugar cookies and suddenly you’ve got the cutest little monster cookies. 👀🎃

I love making homemade sugar cookie dough, but if you’re short on time? Grab the store-bought dough. I fully support taking the shortcut. 😂👏🏻

These easy Halloween monster sugar cookies would be so cute for a Halloween party, spooky movie night, kids’ Halloween treat, or just a fun weekend baking project.

Minimal effort + maximum spooky cute. That’s my kind of Halloween baking! 👻

Would you make these with homemade cookie dough or take the store-bought shortcut?! 👇🏻

The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! 🎃

Who says the front porch gets to have all the fun?! 😂 I spend WAY more time on our screened-in porch, so of course I had to give it a cozy little fall makeover too!

This bar cart is one of my favorite spots to decorate because it’s so easy to switch out with the seasons. A few pumpkins, some warm fall colors, and simple seasonal touches instantly make this space feel so much cozier for fall. 🍁

And since this is basically my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee, I want it to feel just as festive as the rest of our home!

Of course, the cats also think the pumpkins are here specifically for them to knock over. 😹 Apparently they have VERY strong opinions about my fall porch decor.

Are you decorating your outdoor spaces for fall too, or do you keep all the pumpkins inside?! 🎃
