Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Now the real question is… what do you think is inside?! Drop your guesses below ⬇️

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

I always like to have an easy and simple coffee table centerpiece that goes along with the current season at hand. I had a winter related one on my coffee table most recently (you can see it back on my winter home decor post).

But I was just ready for a change. I wanted something more fresh and with more greenery to liven the space up. And after strolling through Target, and spotting some of the new releases of the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collection.

I knew just what I needed to do!

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Antique Tool Caddy

One of my favorite antique finds is this antique tool caddy I keep sitting on my coffee table. I love it because not only are the wood tones amazing, but you can easily switch it out from season to season.

It has a total of 6 cubby holes in it, 3 on each side. So I always like to place something in there to create a cool and unique statement piece.

Antique Tool Caddy
Here is the tool caddy with nothing in it. I’m also linking a similar tool caddy below that you can order online if you can’t find one at an antique shop near you:

You’ve seen me style this piece before to create an easy and simple fall centerpiece. I usually like to place a few glass pieces inside of it. And then add in some greenery or floral options as well.

But, after I saw these cute potted plants at Target, I figured they would be the perfect neutral option to place in there.

I wanted to create something that I could leave out for a long time. Nothing seasonal related that I would have to replace in a few weeks. So no Valentine’s Day decor here!

Adding in Risers to the Tool Caddy

Only problem after I got the faux potted plants, was that they were kinda too short in the caddy.

You couldn’t really see their cute pots and only the tips of the greenery were sticking out. So I needed to find some risers to give them some height.

Materials Needed to create coffee table centerpiece
All the materials needed to come up with this easy coffee table centerpiece!

Although, I didn’t want to have to pay for a total of 6 different risers for the coffee table centerpiece.

I mean, that could get kinda pricey quickly. So I decided to look around my home and see what I had that would work.

And I found something! You know I have an abundance of Antique Candle Co. candles in my home. Mainly because I am obsessed with having my home smell good. And these candles are the best. But also, their candle lids make the perfect riser!

Candle lids in antique tool caddy
Candle lids make the perfect and free riser! Also, linking my rug below because it is a beautiful, neutral option for a living room in case you are looking for a good one too!

The best part is, it totally didn’t cost me anything. I just took the lids off of candles I wasn’t using, or weren’t burning and placed them inside each cubby hole.

Adding the Faux Plants to the Coffee Table Centerpiece

Once the risers were all in place, I just added the plants on top! I got a total of 3 faux azaleas and 3 faux bean potted plants. And then I just alternated them around in each cubby hole.

I didn’t want to get all 6 of the same plant because I wanted to create visual interest with a couple of different ones.

And that’s it! How easy and simple is that?! The perfect coffee table centerpiece that literally took me only a few minutes to create!

Do you like having a centerpiece on your coffee tables too? If so, what do you like to place there as a centerpiece? I would love to know!

Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 T Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 There’s just something about mixing antique finds, Americana decor, and all the red, white, and blue accents that makes a home feel extra cozy for summer. From thrifted vintage treasures to old-fashioned patriotic decorations, I’m always on the hunt for unique pieces to style around the house all season long!

But really… I leave my patriotic summer decor up from Memorial Day all the way through the 4th of July because nothing says “summer at home” more than classic red, white, and blue decor 🇺🇸

If you love vintage Americana decor, thrifted home finds, farmhouse summer decor, and patriotic decorating ideas, then we’d definitely be best friends 🤍 #vintagepatriotic #vintagepatrioticdecor #patrioticdecor #patrioticstyle #patrioticvibes
Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Now the real question is… what do you think is inside?! Drop your guesses below ⬇️
