We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead
Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂 Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂✨ The ultimate quick weekend getaway packed with charm, history, and the cutest downtown vibes.

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

From strolling the historic downtown streets to shopping, eating, and soaking in all the southern charm, Savannah is seriously picture-perfect. We explored the iconic Riverwalk, admired the architecture, and of course had to stop by the stunning @jwmarriottsavannah Plant Riverside District to check out the fossils, geodes, and one-of-a-kind lobby 😍

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

Now it’s time to unwind and recharge in Hilton Head 🌊☀️

Save this for your next Savannah weekend itinerary + follow along for more travel, lifestyle, and cozy southern content! ✈️ #savannah #savannahgeorgia #savannahga #exploresavannah #travelsavannah

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

If you deal with migraines, chronic illness, or scent sensitivity, you already know the struggle of finding candles that don’t cause flare-ups.

That’s why I only use @antiquecandleco_ 🤍 Their 100% soy candles, clean ingredients, and phthalate-free fragrances make all the difference for me. I can finally enjoy a cozy, fresh-smelling home without the headache (literally 🙌🏻).

Whimsy Home Wednesday Link Party

Happy Wednesday my friends! What have y’all been up to this week?? I have been decorating my porch for fall and that has definitely kept me pretty busy! However, I have some exciting news for you! Me and some of my blogging friends have decided to team up and do a fun link party for you guys! We are calling it Whimsy Home Wednesdays and if you are a home/lifestyle/travel/food blogger too, we’d love for you to participate with us.

I’ll explain more of the rules below as well as all of the wonderful hosts who are doing it with me too. We will be starting it up for the first time next week and I would absolutely love for you to join us!

Side View of Fall Front Porch Steps
Here’s a little view of my porch I’ve been working on this week!

Whimsy Home Wednesday Link Party Rules

Like I said above, our first link part will start next Wednesday, October 26th and we will be doing a fun Halloween theme. We will have the link party going every single Wednesday after that, and will usually have a fun theme once a month as well.

Our link party will be live on 9:00 am EST and stays open until Saturday at 9:00 am EST every week as well.

  • You are encouraged to post up to 3 posts in the link party pertaining to recipes, crafts, home decor, gardening, DIY, travel, etc.
  • No shop pages, sales or business links. Link to a specific post that you have created or wrote, not your home page.
  • We would appreciate sharing the link party love by including the Whimsy Home Wednesday graphic or a text link back to the party in your linked post.
  • This is a party – go mingle! Please visit some of the other links and show them some love.
  • By linking your blog posts on Whimsy Home Wednesday, you are giving the hostesses permission to use your images to showcase your post if you are chosen as a weekly feature. By posting you acknowledge that the content of your post is your own.
  • DO NOT PIN FROM IMAGES ON THIS PAGE (it just won’t work right on Pinterest). However, please visit the original post/source and pin from there. That works perfectly!
  • Please make sure that your images are in a jpeg or png format. If we can’t save your image, we may not be able to feature you. So sad!
  • We would love to connect with you! Subscribe to our email lists or follow us on Pinterest or one of our social platforms – Instagram, Facebook etc.

Meredith From Arts and Classy Blog

Meredith Schneider created her blog back in 2012 with the hopes of being able to decorate her apartment with a small budget since she lived in Los Angeles. She found that at the time there weren’t a lot of resources or sites that catered to helping renters decorate their spaces without hurting their deposit.

Since the blog was born, Meredith began working on many projects. She specializes in furniture flips, upcycling projects, and Dollar Tree DIYs. Meredith is a Hometalk TV host and has been featured on PopSugar’s Facebook show “Crafty AF”, and a series called Design Dare on YouTube.

Meredith has a passion for all things design on a dime and is excited to continue sharing creative ideas with the world. Follow along and see budget-friendly flips, projects, crafts, and more!

Fun fact- I actually met Meredith in person at The Haven Conference this year! Not only is she super sweet and genuine, but we are both North Carolina girls too! Check out her cute post on how to make yarn pumpkins. Perfect for the fall season!

We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

From strolling the historic downtown streets to shopping, eating, and soaking in all the southern charm, Savannah is seriously picture-perfect. We explored the iconic Riverwalk, admired the architecture, and of course had to stop by the stunning @jwmarriottsavannah Plant Riverside District to check out the fossils, geodes, and one-of-a-kind lobby 😍

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

Now it’s time to unwind and recharge in Hilton Head 🌊☀️

Save this for your next Savannah weekend itinerary + follow along for more travel, lifestyle, and cozy southern content! ✈️ #savannah #savannahgeorgia #savannahga #exploresavannah #travelsavannah

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

Now that the weather is warming up, the kitties are living their best life on our screened-in porch: sunbathing, relaxing, and apparently redecorating too. Toby’s been busy “customizing” the furniture, but honestly… I think it adds character 🤣
Happy cats = worth it, right?!

My husband has officially entered his ✨ChatGPT era✨ but instead of using it for work or research, he’s out here editing our cats’ photos like a full-time meme creator 🤣 And honestly? I’m not mad about it. The results are hilarious, way too good, and guaranteed to make my day every single time.

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Tell me I’m not alone… does anyone else use AI or ChatGPT to edit their pet photos?! 😂👇 #chatgpt4 #chatgptprompts #funnycatvideos #funnycatpics #funnycatsofinstagram

Time to give this old planter a refresh, and I’m OBSESSED with how this bonsai planter makeover turned out 😍 I grabbed everything I needed from @loweshomeimprovement to create this peaceful, zen-inspired plant moment for my porch

There’s just something about spring gardening and getting your hands in the dirt that feels so therapeutic… even if we are still risking a late frost here in NC 😅🌱 But I couldn’t resist starting just a little early

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚

If you’re ready to refresh your planters, start your spring garden, or create your own tranquil bonsai setup, this is your sign ✨

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Little Miss Riley is fully embracing the warm weather, living her best life as a porch sunbathing queen ☀️ No job, no stress, no responsibilities. Just vibes, naps, and being adorable while everything is handed to her on a silver platter 😻 Honestly… the dream life.

If you’ve ever wished you could trade places with your cat for a day, this is your sign 😂 #orangecats #orangecat #orangeandjobless #orangecatsrule #orangecatsofig

But for real, living with chronic illness, anxiety, and stress can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Sometimes it really does feel like cutting out stress (work, crowds, constant noise) would magically fix everything… right?! 😅

Anyone else feel like their dream wellness plan is just staying home, protecting your peace, and doing life at your own pace? Because same 🙋‍♀️ #chronicillnesslife #spooniesupport #stayathomecatmom #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonieproblems
