If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern Charm fan. Honestly, watching Bravo reality shows is one of my favorite hobbies, and Craig Conover has always been one of my favorite Bravolebrities! 😂

So when I found out there was a grand reopening event at @sewingdownsouth while we were in Charleston, South Carolina, there was absolutely no way I was missing it. But what made it even better? They were actually filming for Southern Charm while we were there!

As someone who visits Charleston every chance I get and has watched Southern Charm for years, this felt like a total bucket-list moment. So keep your eyes peeled for Season 12… you just might spot me somewhere in the background. 😜

But can we talk about Craig for a second? We’ve met him before, and he is genuinely one of the nicest people. He spends so much time talking with fans, taking photos, signing autographs, and making everyone feel welcome. In a world where celebrity interactions can be hit or miss, he is the real deal.

If you’re planning a Charleston trip, make sure to add Sewing Down South to your itinerary. Whether you’re a Southern Charm fan or just love shopping local, it’s such a fun stop in the heart of downtown Charleston!

Now tell me, who’s your favorite Southern Charm cast member? 👇 #southerncharm #craigconover #sewingdownsouth #realitytvshow #bravotv
Anyone else have facial expressions that give away Anyone else have facial expressions that give away EVERY thought in their head? 😂 Because I swear I can’t hide what I’m thinking to save my life. I may not say a word, but my face will tell the whole story anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Being overly expressive is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, people always know where they stand with me. On the other hand, it has definitely gotten me into trouble more than once! 🤣

Sometimes I think about Botox, but then I remember I’d probably lose my greatest talent: making faces when people are being ridiculous. 😜 It’s honestly a survival skill at this point.

Thank goodness I wear a mask at work because it hides at least some of my reactions! 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose facial expressions expose every emotion before they even say a word. Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your face is constantly spilling the tea!

If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part o Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part of the family too! 😹🐾

A few years ago on Valentine’s Day morning, my mom discovered a mama cat and her three kittens on her front porch. As a lifelong cat lover, there was absolutely no way I wasn’t bringing one of those sweet rescue kittens home once she was old enough. And that’s how Riley became part of our family. ❤️

Fast forward to today, and Riley has grown into the funniest, sassiest, most personality-filled cat I’ve ever had. She’s definitely not a lap cat, and she makes you work for every ounce of attention and affection, but somehow that just makes me love her even more. 😂

The best part? My mom ended up keeping Riley’s mom, Smoke, while finding loving homes for all the other kittens. So Riley’s mama is still around, and we get to see her from time to time. 🥹🐱

It feels like this whole rescue cat story was just meant to be. ❤️

As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain and everyday stress, I count down the days until my next appointment!

Sure, it’s not a permanent fix, but even a little relief can make a huge difference. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less tense, and ready to take on life again (or at least survive another work week 😜).

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress, you know how amazing that post-massage feeling is!

After all the money we’ve spent on raised garden beds, soil, plants, fertilizer, and supplies, this little pepper is basically worth its weight in gold! 😂 But honestly, there’s nothing more rewarding than walking outside and harvesting fresh vegetables from your own backyard garden.

And let me tell you… this pepper was DELICIOUS! 🙌 Now I’m anxiously waiting for our cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes to really start producing. There’s just something so exciting about watching a vegetable garden grow and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

Apparently, if I had actually read the product description, I would have known that. But who has time for details when you’re busy adding things to your cart? 😂

After a LOT of fluffing, shaping, and styling, though, these faux hanging ferns turned out so good! I love using artificial hanging baskets on our porch because they’re completely low-maintenance, stay green year-round, and don’t require me to climb a ladder every few days to water them. As someone who’s vertically challenged, that’s a major win. 🤣

And while I’ve never been officially diagnosed as neurodivergent, let’s just say some of those traits hit a little too close to home. 🧠😂

So if you’re also navigating social anxiety, an expired social battery, awkward small talk, and the challenge of making friends as an adult... welcome. You’re my people.

I officially made it through my first full week back to work after a month-long surgery leave, and whew… the post-op fatigue is NO joke.

Every evening has looked pretty much the same: clock out, soak my aching body in a scorching hot bath, grab my heating pad, put on my weighted eye mask, and immediately take a cat nap before I can even think about making dinner or doing anything around the house. 😴

I knew recovering from endometriosis excision surgery would take time, but I didn’t expect the exhaustion to hit this hard after returning to work. My body is definitely reminding me that healing isn’t always a straight line.

Right now, this little recovery routine is getting me through:
💛 Hot bath
💛 Heating pad on full blast
💛 Weighted eye mask (shoutout to @nodpodofficial) 
💛 Emergency evening nap

Thankfully, it’s finally the weekend, and I can focus on resting and recharging before doing it all over again next week.

If you’ve had endometriosis excision surgery, how long did the fatigue last for you after returning to work? Please tell me this part doesn’t last forever! 😂👇

This first week back at work has been ROUGH, y’all. I miss being home with my fur babies more than anything. Honestly, I think my true calling in life is being a stay-at-home cat mom. 🐾

But unfortunately, someone has to pay for the treats, toys, fancy food, and all the other necessities required to maintain this luxury cat lifestyle. And that someone is me. 😅

The funniest part? I don’t even think little Miss Riley misses me. As long as the food bowl stays full and the treats keep coming, she’s perfectly content living her best life while I’m out here working my butt off. 🤣

Being chronically ill means I’ve tried my fair share of medications over the years, and my body always seems to have a mind of its own. If a medicine is supposed to make people sleepy, I’ll be wide awake all night. If there’s a tiny chance of an adverse reaction, somehow I’m usually that tiny percentage. 😅

So starting a new medication is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Part of me is hopeful it’ll finally provide some relief, and the other part is preparing for whatever random side effect my body decides to throw my way.

Here’s hoping this one actually helps my symptoms without adding a whole new list of problems. 🤞😂

Give me all the weathered flags, vintage crocks, old books, and classic Americana touches. 🇺🇸

I know some people pack away their patriotic decorations after July 4th, but I love leaving my summer patriotic decor out all season long. It just feels timeless to me!

Honestly, staying home healing after surgery has taught me one thing… I never want to leave my house again 😂 Being cozy at home with my cats, resting, binge watching shows, and avoiding the outside world has been absolutely glorious. I truly understand the “stay at home cat mom” lifestyle now lol.

At this point, I have everything I need right here at home. Peace, comfy clothes, snacks, my pets, and zero social obligations 🤣 Meanwhile, every time I actually leave the house, I come back completely exhausted.

So the fact that I have to go back to work today after a month of recovery is honestly going to be SUCH a rough adjustment 😅 I’m not mentally prepared to rejoin society yet lol. Anyone else secretly love being home way too much?!

Between the physical healing and the emotional side of post-surgery recovery, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. So this comedy date night ended up being exactly what I needed.

We bought tickets to see @johnbcrist months ago, long before I had any idea I’d be spending a month on surgery leave. Turns out the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This was our third time seeing him live, and he absolutely delivered. I laughed so hard that for a couple of hours, I completely forgot about returning to work, ongoing recovery, and all the stress waiting for me next week. 🤣

Before the show, we had dinner at @redgingerasianbistro and finished the night with dessert at @timesbarandcoffee which made the whole evening even better. Good food, lots of laughs, and quality time with my husband was exactly the distraction I needed.

Sometimes healing isn’t just about physical recovery. Sometimes it’s about finding little moments that remind you how good it feels to laugh again. ❤️

Easter Tablescape Ideas

Y’all know I love me a good, holiday tablescape. And of course Easter is no exception. So I thought I would share some of my Easter tablescape ideas with you all, to give you some inspiration too.

Now, you don’t need anything fancy to make a beautiful Easter tablescape, just a few little touches here and there is totally fine. I will show you some of the different ways I have set my Easter table over the years. That way, you can decide for yourself which one you like better.

And hopefully you can implement some of these ideas into your table for Easter brunch or dinner this year. Whether you go all out and fill the whole table with Easter decor, or like a more simple look, there’s a little bit of everything here to give you some ideas! I can’t wait to see how you create your own Easter tablescape too!

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

Fun and Easy Easter Tablescape

For this fun and easy Easter tablescape idea, I am basing it off of the very first Easter tablescape I created back in the day. If you were around for that, then you know I was obsessed with Rae Dunn pottery back then.

Rae Dunn Egg Plate for Easter Tablescape

So obviously, I had to include some pieces on my tablescape. And I will admit, those egg shaped plates are too cute. And I actually still have them! But, I don’t really use them for Easter decor anymore.

Full View of my Easter Tablescape

However, paired with the blue and white table linens, the egg plates really popped and were definitely a fun touch! Plus, it is super easy because you don’t get more Easter than egg shaped plates, right?!

And, the table runner I have pictured here is actually leftover burlap from our wedding day! How cool is that?! And, I cant believe it is the same exact size as our table too. So it worked out perfectly!

Chippy White Birdhouse on Easter Tablescape

This is one of the more simple Easter tablescape ideas that I have shared and it would be so easy to duplicate. Even if you can’t find the “Rae Dunn” egg plates, any kind of Easter plate would do just fine!

Beautiful and Whimsical Easter Tablescape

As I have grown in my home decor taste, y’all know I tend to lean more towards vintage and antiques now. So with this beautiful and whimsical Easter tablescape, I have a few of those proudly showing off!

Full View of Whimsical Easter Tablescape

I think my favorite pieces are the vintage depression glass teacups! They really steal the show and look perfect sitting on top of my white dishes! I actually got them all from Antique Candle Co.! At one time, they were all candles.

Pink Teacup

But after I burned through them, I cleaned out all the wax, and now use the teacups as place settings on the table! I also accompany them with some Easter eggs to match!

Whimsical Easter Place Setting

The color palette for this whimsical tablescape is soft pinks and you can definitely get that vibe from those teacups, as well as my napkins. I used the same napkins from my Valentine’s Tablescape as well. That’s a great way to repurpose your decor pieces for different seasons.

Easter Egg and Teacup

Whimsical Easter Centerpiece

In the center of the table, I have a whimsical bunny centerpiece. I have a few different wooden Easter bunnies that I put right in front for display. Everything is centered on wooden tray on top of a little jute table runner to break it up and make it the focal point of the table.

Whimsical Easter Centerpiece

Beside the bunnies, I have a beautiful, large vase filled with greenery that also has a hint of soft pinks to them too. I think fresh tulips would also look extra special in that vase for Easter as well!

Close Up of Wooden Bunny

I also keep my usual vintage brass candlesticks on the tray as well and a little bunch of carrots for another Easter touch! I think all these Easter table decorations blend together beautifully for a perfect and whimsical touch!

Antique Brass Candlesticks

You could easily replace the bunnies with something else after Easter is over to give it more of a spring tablescape vibe too. I leave the pink depression glass pieces out all during the spring season too! It’s the perfect color scheme I think!

Close Up Of Whimsical Easter Centerpiece

Neutral Farmhouse Easter Tablescape

Now if the soft pink color isn’t your vibe, then you will definitely love this Easter tablescape idea instead. I do love a good, neutral farmhouse look and I thought it would be fun to show how you can do that for Easter decorations too.

Easter Tablescape View

I have this beautiful centerpiece made of reclaimed barn wood and terra cotta pots. So I thought it would be fun to incorporate that somehow into this tablescape.

Neutral Easter Tablescape

I came up with the idea to wrap some colorful carrots with jute string and hot glue to make them more neutral. Then, I decided to place each neutral carrot into it’s own little terra cotta pot and surround it with some Spanish moss.

Yarn-Wrapped Carrot DIY

And that’s it, one of the most simple Easter centerpieces you will ever come across! Plus, it also looks so adorable too. And to finish off the neutral tablescape, I removed all the colored napkins and just let my white plates do the trick. Those plates are actually vintage Ironstone dishes, which I love and re-use for all my tablescapes as well!

But, this would be a perfect Easter dinner tablescape, because you don’t have anything tall in your centerpiece that would hinder viewing the person sitting across from you too!

Which Easter Tablescape Idea Is Your Favorite?

Well, now for the final question, which lovely Easter tablescape is your favorite? I think mine is the beautiful and whimsical one, seeing as how my table is currently styled that way already!

But, I would love to know your thoughts below and hear your favorite. Do y’all do a big Easter gathering with your family? And if so, do you create a beautiful tablescape to go along with it?

I’d love to hear if so and how you like to decorate your tables too! I am always looking for more ideas! And no matter what you all do, I hope you have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern Charm fan. Honestly, watching Bravo reality shows is one of my favorite hobbies, and Craig Conover has always been one of my favorite Bravolebrities! 😂

So when I found out there was a grand reopening event at @sewingdownsouth while we were in Charleston, South Carolina, there was absolutely no way I was missing it. But what made it even better? They were actually filming for Southern Charm while we were there!

As someone who visits Charleston every chance I get and has watched Southern Charm for years, this felt like a total bucket-list moment. So keep your eyes peeled for Season 12… you just might spot me somewhere in the background. 😜

But can we talk about Craig for a second? We’ve met him before, and he is genuinely one of the nicest people. He spends so much time talking with fans, taking photos, signing autographs, and making everyone feel welcome. In a world where celebrity interactions can be hit or miss, he is the real deal.

If you’re planning a Charleston trip, make sure to add Sewing Down South to your itinerary. Whether you’re a Southern Charm fan or just love shopping local, it’s such a fun stop in the heart of downtown Charleston!

Now tell me, who’s your favorite Southern Charm cast member? 👇 #southerncharm #craigconover #sewingdownsouth #realitytvshow #bravotv
Anyone else have facial expressions that give away Anyone else have facial expressions that give away EVERY thought in their head? 😂 Because I swear I can’t hide what I’m thinking to save my life. I may not say a word, but my face will tell the whole story anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Being overly expressive is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, people always know where they stand with me. On the other hand, it has definitely gotten me into trouble more than once! 🤣

Sometimes I think about Botox, but then I remember I’d probably lose my greatest talent: making faces when people are being ridiculous. 😜 It’s honestly a survival skill at this point.

Thank goodness I wear a mask at work because it hides at least some of my reactions! 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose facial expressions expose every emotion before they even say a word. Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your face is constantly spilling the tea!

If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

One of my favorite things about Cricut is how easy it makes it to bring creative ideas to life. Whether you’re making custom t-shirts, personalized gifts, home decor, or party projects, the possibilities are endless! And honestly? Making your own shirts is a little addictive once you get started. 😂

I love being able to create something unique that no one else has, and Cricut cuts make the whole process so simple and fun.

Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part o Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part of the family too! 😹🐾

A few years ago on Valentine’s Day morning, my mom discovered a mama cat and her three kittens on her front porch. As a lifelong cat lover, there was absolutely no way I wasn’t bringing one of those sweet rescue kittens home once she was old enough. And that’s how Riley became part of our family. ❤️

Fast forward to today, and Riley has grown into the funniest, sassiest, most personality-filled cat I’ve ever had. She’s definitely not a lap cat, and she makes you work for every ounce of attention and affection, but somehow that just makes me love her even more. 😂

The best part? My mom ended up keeping Riley’s mom, Smoke, while finding loving homes for all the other kittens. So Riley’s mama is still around, and we get to see her from time to time. 🥹🐱

It feels like this whole rescue cat story was just meant to be. ❤️

There’s just something about soaking up a little vitamin D, listening to the water, and completely slowing down for a few hours. And let’s not forget the elite summer activity: the post-lunch poolside nap. 😂

These are the simple summer moments I look forward to all year long, and honestly, I wish every Friday could look like this!

Are you team pool day, beach day, or lake day? ☀️

Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage me Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage membership for my birthday, and honestly, it has been one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain and everyday stress, I count down the days until my next appointment!

Sure, it’s not a permanent fix, but even a little relief can make a huge difference. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less tense, and ready to take on life again (or at least survive another work week 😜).

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress, you know how amazing that post-massage feeling is!

So tell me… are you a massage person too, or do you prefer other self-care treatments? 👇

I proudly present… the most expensive homegrown pe I proudly present… the most expensive homegrown pepper we’ve ever grown. 🌶️🤣

After all the money we’ve spent on raised garden beds, soil, plants, fertilizer, and supplies, this little pepper is basically worth its weight in gold! 😂 But honestly, there’s nothing more rewarding than walking outside and harvesting fresh vegetables from your own backyard garden.

And let me tell you… this pepper was DELICIOUS! 🙌 Now I’m anxiously waiting for our cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes to really start producing. There’s just something so exciting about watching a vegetable garden grow and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

Who else is gardening this year? 🌱 What are you growing, and what’s been your biggest success so far? Drop your garden updates below because I love seeing what everyone is growing! 👇🍅🥒🌶️

Apparently, if I had actually read the product description, I would have known that. But who has time for details when you’re busy adding things to your cart? 😂

After a LOT of fluffing, shaping, and styling, though, these faux hanging ferns turned out so good! I love using artificial hanging baskets on our porch because they’re completely low-maintenance, stay green year-round, and don’t require me to climb a ladder every few days to water them. As someone who’s vertically challenged, that’s a major win. 🤣

If you’re looking for realistic faux outdoor plants, easy porch decorating ideas, or low-maintenance outdoor decor, I highly recommend giving these a try!

Would you choose real plants or faux plants for your porch? 🌿👇

But here we are, another workday, another dollar, and we’re just gonna power through and get it done. 💪

Anyone else feel completely wiped out after talking to people all day, or is that just my introvert/neurodivergent brain? 🤪 #workhumor #workingwiththepublic #officehumor #relatablecontent #funnyworkmemes
Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️Sharing a few cozy Sunday Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️Sharing a few cozy Sunday stills of our front porch today because I’m absolutely soaking up this beautiful weather. There’s just something special about slowing down, enjoying some good old-fashioned porch sitting, and taking in the sights and sounds of summer. Anyone else spending time outside today?

I’m especially excited that we finally got our flower beds refreshed and ready for the season! 🌸🐦 The colorful blooms have already started attracting hummingbirds, and watching them dart around the flowers from inside the house each morning has quickly become one of my favorite parts of the day.

Between the front porch decor, blooming flowers, and warm summer sunshine, home feels extra sweet right now. ❤️

Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday filled with sunshine, fresh air, and a little time to enjoy the simple things. #sundaystills #flowerbed #flowerbeds #porchdecor #porchsitting
But can we talk about how hard it is to make frien But can we talk about how hard it is to make friends in your 30s?! Is anyone else struggling with adult friendships, or is it just me?

Maybe it’s my socially awkward, overthinking brain. Maybe it’s because I spend 99% of my free time at home and have fully embraced my introvert era. Or maybe it’s the fact that every time I meet someone new, I replay the entire conversation in my head for the next 3-5 business days. 🤣

And while I’ve never been officially diagnosed as neurodivergent, let’s just say some of those traits hit a little too close to home. 🧠😂

So if you’re also navigating social anxiety, an expired social battery, awkward small talk, and the challenge of making friends as an adult... welcome. You’re my people.

At least in my head, I’m the life of the party. 🎉🤣 #neurodivergent #neurodivergentsupport #socialanxietymemes #adultfriendships #socialbattery
POV: You survived your first full week back at wor POV: You survived your first full week back at work after endometriosis excision surgery… and this is what recovery really looks like. 😂

I officially made it through my first full week back to work after a month-long surgery leave, and whew… the post-op fatigue is NO joke.

Every evening has looked pretty much the same: clock out, soak my aching body in a scorching hot bath, grab my heating pad, put on my weighted eye mask, and immediately take a cat nap before I can even think about making dinner or doing anything around the house. 😴

I knew recovering from endometriosis excision surgery would take time, but I didn’t expect the exhaustion to hit this hard after returning to work. My body is definitely reminding me that healing isn’t always a straight line.

Right now, this little recovery routine is getting me through:
💛 Hot bath
💛 Heating pad on full blast
💛 Weighted eye mask (shoutout to @nodpodofficial) 
💛 Emergency evening nap

Thankfully, it’s finally the weekend, and I can focus on resting and recharging before doing it all over again next week.

If you’ve had endometriosis excision surgery, how long did the fatigue last for you after returning to work? Please tell me this part doesn’t last forever! 😂👇

POV: You had a rough day at work, but then you rem POV: You had a rough day at work, but then you remember you’re funding your cat’s luxury lifestyle. 😹

Whenever I have a bad day at work, I remind myself that I need that paycheck so my cats can stay home all day, nap in peace, eat snacks, and live their best spoiled-cat lives. 😂

This first week back at work has been ROUGH, y’all. I miss being home with my fur babies more than anything. Honestly, I think my true calling in life is being a stay-at-home cat mom. 🐾

But unfortunately, someone has to pay for the treats, toys, fancy food, and all the other necessities required to maintain this luxury cat lifestyle. And that someone is me. 😅

The funniest part? I don’t even think little Miss Riley misses me. As long as the food bowl stays full and the treats keep coming, she’s perfectly content living her best life while I’m out here working my butt off. 🤣

Any other cat parents feel like they’re just employees funding their pets’ dreams? 🐱💸 #stayathomecat #stayathomecatmom #catmom #catmomproblems #catmomprobs
Anyone else with a chronic illness immediately Goo Anyone else with a chronic illness immediately Google every possible side effect before starting a new medication? Because I swear if there’s a rare reaction listed, somehow I’m the lucky winner. 🤣

Being chronically ill means I’ve tried my fair share of medications over the years, and my body always seems to have a mind of its own. If a medicine is supposed to make people sleepy, I’ll be wide awake all night. If there’s a tiny chance of an adverse reaction, somehow I’m usually that tiny percentage. 😅

So starting a new medication is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Part of me is hopeful it’ll finally provide some relief, and the other part is preparing for whatever random side effect my body decides to throw my way.

Here’s hoping this one actually helps my symptoms without adding a whole new list of problems. 🤞😂

Tell me I’m not the only one who reads the side effects before taking a new prescription! 👇 #sideeffects #medicationsideeffects #chronicallyill #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnessmemes
Vintage Americana decor has my heart ❤️🤍💙 There’s Vintage Americana decor has my heart ❤️🤍💙

There’s just something about decorating with old red, white, and blue treasures that makes a home feel extra cozy for summer. I love styling my dining room shelves with vintage Americana pieces, antique finds, and patriotic decor that can stay up from Memorial Day all the way through the Fourth of July and beyond!

Give me all the weathered flags, vintage crocks, old books, and classic Americana touches. 🇺🇸

I know some people pack away their patriotic decorations after July 4th, but I love leaving my summer patriotic decor out all season long. It just feels timeless to me!

Do you decorate with patriotic decor all summer, or do you switch things up after the Fourth of July? #vintageamericana #vintagepatriotic #americanadecor #americana #patrioticdecor
POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month t POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month turned me into a full-time homebody 🤣

Honestly, staying home healing after surgery has taught me one thing… I never want to leave my house again 😂 Being cozy at home with my cats, resting, binge watching shows, and avoiding the outside world has been absolutely glorious. I truly understand the “stay at home cat mom” lifestyle now lol.

At this point, I have everything I need right here at home. Peace, comfy clothes, snacks, my pets, and zero social obligations 🤣 Meanwhile, every time I actually leave the house, I come back completely exhausted.

So the fact that I have to go back to work today after a month of recovery is honestly going to be SUCH a rough adjustment 😅 I’m not mentally prepared to rejoin society yet lol. Anyone else secretly love being home way too much?!

Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of going back to work while still recovering from surgery. Between the physical healing and the emotional side of post-surgery recovery, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. So this comedy date night ended up being exactly what I needed.

We bought tickets to see @johnbcrist months ago, long before I had any idea I’d be spending a month on surgery leave. Turns out the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This was our third time seeing him live, and he absolutely delivered. I laughed so hard that for a couple of hours, I completely forgot about returning to work, ongoing recovery, and all the stress waiting for me next week. 🤣

Before the show, we had dinner at @redgingerasianbistro and finished the night with dessert at @timesbarandcoffee which made the whole evening even better. Good food, lots of laughs, and quality time with my husband was exactly the distraction I needed.

Sometimes healing isn’t just about physical recovery. Sometimes it’s about finding little moments that remind you how good it feels to laugh again. ❤️ 

Have you ever had a random night out come at exactly the right time? #johncrist #johncristcomedy #comedyshow #datenightideas #asheville
