I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to snea Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to sneak in one more little dose of holiday magic! 🎄✨ I seriously can’t believe July is already coming to an end.

After spending the entire week at the beach in Myrtle Beach, I can confidently say…I’m officially ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and then it’s straight into Christmas decorating mode! 🧡🎃➡️🎄 This heat has me dreaming of crisp mornings, twinkling lights, baking Christmas cookies, and all the cozy vibes.

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

I made these using my @glowforge machine, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out! Once they were cut, all they needed was a quick coat of white spray paint, and they were ready to decorate my fall planters.

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

Who else is already counting down the days until it’s time to decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark Week because obviously all the sharks are busy filming TV. 😂🦈

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂
#sharkweek #dirtymyrtle #sharkweekeveryweek #myrtlebeachsc #beachvacay
I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

Cozy Fall Camper Tour

I have already shared with y’all my Fall Home Tour, but how about I share with you all my fall camper tour today?! It’s definitely not much, but I am loving the small fall touches I added to our camper this season.

I still like to decorate seasonally here too since we spend a lot of time here on the weekends!

Cozy Fall Camper
Such a cozy camper view!

Camper Dining Room

I love that the camper has a small little dining room table in it. So of course I had to style it up for fall. Just like at home, I love to add a small tablescape here.

Camper Fall Dining Table
Such a cute and simple table!

I ended up using some spare melamine Rae Dunn plates I already had at home and everything else I bought on clearance at Kirkland’s!

I am loving the black chargers, they fit in so well with the whole color scheme of the camper. And that cute little tiered tray is the perfect size for a little centerpiece!

Tiered Tray
How cute are those salt and pepper shakers?!
Camper Dining Room
These Rae Dunn plates are perfect here.

I try to keep a few practical things on the tiered tray, such as a salt and pepper shaker set. I also have a set of coasters on here so they are easy to grab and use.

I do have a few decorative pieces as well but I try to make it both pretty and functional.

Camper Kitchen

Another spot in my cozy fall camper tour, is our camper kitchen! It’s not huge, but I love the look and cozy feel to this little kitchen! I also love how it has an island space to it as well.

And do you see that cute faux subway tile below too?! It’s the modern farmhouse lover’s dream!

I can’t wait to add a few more things in here to get it exactly how I want it, but it is coming along nicely so far!

Camper Kitchen
If you like the rugs I have pictured here, then check out Boutique Rugs! I have a ton of their rugs and they are so great! Plus, you can use my code MACEDONIA55 to get 55% off your total!

Camper Living Room

Even though it’s a camper, I still try to make it super cozy for fall as well. Just like at our own home! That’s why I love to add in some textured throws and pillows as you can see below.

It gives the space so much warmth and instantly makes it feel more cozy in my opinion!

Cozy Fall Camper Living Room
I love all the textures from the pillows and throws here!

Cozy Fall Camper Bedroom

Even though the bedroom is small, I still try to make as cozy as I possibly can!

I used a cream colored comforter set to contrast against the darker colored cabinets here and I think it really brightens the space up a lot.

I also just moved the tray I had in the kitchen onto the bed for a quick little photo op as well!

Cozy Fall Camper Bedroom Tour
It may look cute, but the bed is not too comfy lol I think we need to invest in a new mattress!

If you can see there is a little opening behind the bed so I placed in some special photos of us there to make it feel more like home.

I also found the perfect small sized dough bowl to put in the middle and I filled it with some greenery as well. Greenery can always make a space feel more cozy and homey.

Close Up of Camper Bed
I have one of my favorite candles burning here from Antique Candle Co. Their sample packs are just the perfect size for our camper!

Outside

This is definitely my Hubby’s favorite part about the camper. We bought the lot for it as well so we get to decorate the whole outside too!

That’s why we did that string light patio refresh project here this summer. We are really enjoying the lights outside at night while we are cozied up next to a fire.

Camper Lot Outside
Look at that pretty view with all the lights on at night!

The fire pit space is awesome too. We didn’t really have to do anything with it, it was already there when we bought it, which was a huge perk!

We take advantage of it every nice night that we have while we are down there.

Camper Fire Pit
I love the cozy glow from a fire!

We also have a nice outdoor dining set where we can eat if the weather is nice too. And how cool is that solar LED umbrella we have above it too?!

I got hubby the zero gravity chairs pictured below as an anniversary present and we have really been enjoying them!

You can’t see it in the picture, but there is actually a TV outside of the camper too so we’ve been sitting in these enjoying a little outdoor TV watching too!

Outdoor Dining Set
Here is our dining set.
Zero Gravity Chairs
And here is our zero gravity chairs.

Conclusion

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my cozy fall camper tour! It is by no means completely finished, and we still have a little work to do, but we are so happy with it so far!

I think we have done a great job on making it ours and making it cozy, which is what I strive for at home too. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a lovely day my friends!

    I did not realize there was so much space inside campers! I love that you have decorated to add to the spaces and not take away room; I like room to move about.
    The sparkle lights on the outside are beautiful; we love to hang lights in our maple tree and turn them on when we have fires. 🙂

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to snea Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to sneak in one more little dose of holiday magic! 🎄✨ I seriously can’t believe July is already coming to an end.

After spending the entire week at the beach in Myrtle Beach, I can confidently say…I’m officially ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and then it’s straight into Christmas decorating mode! 🧡🎃➡️🎄 This heat has me dreaming of crisp mornings, twinkling lights, baking Christmas cookies, and all the cozy vibes.

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, th If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, these spooky cute ghost plant markers are the perfect project! 👻🖤

I made these using my @glowforge machine, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out! Once they were cut, all they needed was a quick coat of white spray paint, and they were ready to decorate my fall planters.

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

Who else is already counting down the days until it’s time to decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark Week because obviously all the sharks are busy filming TV. 😂🦈

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉
