If you love ooey gooey desserts, you NEED to make If you love ooey gooey desserts, you NEED to make this Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake this fall! 🎃🤤

Confession: I’m one of those people who would rather lick the batter or sneak some cookie dough than wait for the finished dessert. 🤣 And don’t come for me about the raw batter…I’ve been doing it my whole life and I’m still here 😜

Which is exactly why this pumpkin butter cake is one of my FAVORITE fall desserts. It’s fully baked, but the middle stays unbelievably soft, rich, and ooey gooey. 🙌🏻

You get a buttery yellow cake base topped with a creamy pumpkin layer that basically melts in your mouth. And add a big dollop of whipped cream on top?! CHEF’S KISS. 🤌🏻🎃

It’s easy to make, packed with cozy fall flavor, and would be the perfect pumpkin dessert for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any fall gathering!

Being a cat mom basically means accepting that cat hair is now an accessory, your lint roller is your best friend, and you’ll be doing laundry for the rest of your life. 🤣

Thankfully, Charlie is cute enough to get away with it… and clearly VERY unbothered by the fact that she completely ruined my outfit. 😹

10 YEARS. 🤍😭 Today is our 10 year wedding anniver 10 YEARS. 🤍😭

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary, and I truly cannot believe an entire decade has already gone by. Somehow, it feels like we were just saying “I do,” and at the same time, I can’t imagine a version of my life without you in it.

Logan, you are my rock, my safe space, my biggest supporter, my constant encourager, and most importantly, my best friend. 🤍

This past year has probably been one of the hardest years we’ve walked through together. Between everything going on with my health, the uncertainty surrounding my job and my future, and all the unknowns we’ve had to navigate, life has looked a lot different than I ever imagined it would.

But through every hard day, every appointment, every disappointment, every fear, and every unknown, you have been right there beside me. You’ve supported me, encouraged me, taken care of me, made me laugh when I needed it most, and reminded me over and over again that I never have to go through any of it alone.

And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much that means to me.

I’m so incredibly blessed that God gave me you. 🥹🤍 I would choose you over and over again in every lifetime.

Happy 10 year anniversary, Logan!! I love you more than you’ll ever know. Here’s to the next 10 years, and every single year after that. 🥂🤍

A whole decade down, forever to go. ♾️
POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangr POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangry… and then you drop your entire hot lunch on the kitchen floor 😩🤣

Because WHY do these things always happen when you’ve already hit your limit for the day?! Like that was quite literally my final straw 😂

And the best part? I had JUST cleaned the kitchen floors. Of course I did. 🙃 But at least this runner is vinyl so it’s easy to clean too thankfully! 

Nothing humbles you quite like standing in your freshly cleaned kitchen, staring at the lunch you were so excited to eat… on the floor. 😂

Just one of those real-life moments where you have to laugh so you don’t cry and keep rolling with life’s punches.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has days where one tiny inconvenience feels like the absolute LAST STRAW?! 😩👇🏻

Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle from @antiquecandleco_ I shared last month?! Well… I’m sad to report that I’ve already burned through the entire thing 🤣 It smelled THAT good!

But honestly, one of my favorite things about this fall candle is that the beautiful amber glass pumpkin jar can be repurposed once the candle is gone. After giving mine a good clean, I turned it into the cutest little Halloween candy jar! 🍬🎃

So basically, it’s a 2-for-1: you get an amazing smelling fall candle AND an adorable reusable pumpkin jar for your fall and Halloween decor. 🙌🏻

I love finding ways to reuse seasonal decor instead of putting it away or tossing it—and this amber pumpkin looks so cute filled with Halloween candy!

Sharing some cozy fall bedroom stills today because this room might be one of my favorite spaces I’ve decorated for fall this year! There’s just something about rich autumn colors, warm candlelight, and seasonal touches that makes a bedroom feel SO much cozier.

And can we talk about these new fall eucalyptus trees from @nearlynaturalfloral?! 😍 I feel like they completely pulled the whole fall bedroom look together. The deep, moody colors are perfect for creating that warm and cozy autumn vibe I love.

I swear I sleep better when my bedroom is decorated for the season too. 😂 Anyone else?!

And of course, it wouldn’t be fall in our house without an @antiquecandleco_ candle burning. 🕯️🍁 Their fall scents make the entire house smell like autumn perfection!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻

Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to look just like my Charlie?! 😹 Well apparently, I forgot to get Riley’s approval first.

Little Miss Riley discovered the finished DIY cat statue proudly displayed on the porch, and her reaction absolutely sent me. 💀 

At first, I’m pretty sure she thought we had brought home a FOURTH cat without consulting her. She kept staring at it from a safe distance like, “Ummm… excuse me?! Who is THAT?!” 👀🐈

Eventually, she worked up enough courage to jump up there and confront the mysterious imposter cat herself… only to realize it was FAKE. 🤣

And then, of course, she immediately had to play it cool like she totally knew that the entire time. 😹

Nothing humbles a cat faster than realizing she just tried to intimidate a painted statue. 😂

Cat moms, please tell me I’m not the only one whose cats get suspicious over literally ANY new piece of decor?!

I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf ball pumpkins, and I think I just found the perfect fall decor for a golfer’s man cave!

I used my Cricut to cut out some of my hubby’s favorite golf brand logos, then applied them to the pumpkins with transfer tape. That’s literally it! Such an easy Cricut fall craft, but they turned out SO cute.

You could definitely hand-paint the logos if you don’t have a Cricut…but y’all know me and my shaky hands. 😂 Painting tiny golf logos was absolutely NOT happening, so my Cricut saved the day!

Now these golf-themed pumpkins are officially my favorite piece of fall decor in my hubby’s man cave garage. Because apparently this is how you sneak fall decor into a golf-obsessed husband’s space. 😉⛳️

Honestly, I think these would be such a fun DIY golf gift idea too! If you want my full step by step tutorial, comment “golf” below and I’ll send it your way! 

Would your husband approve of these golf ball pumpkins, or would he tell you to leave his man cave alone?! 😂👇🏻

That’s how adulting works, right?! 🤣

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Around this time of year when it starts to get chilly outside, I start craving a hot bowl of soup. Like I could literally eat soup every night and be just fine! And this creamy tomato basil soup is the perfect dinner option for a cold night!

I recently partnered with a company called Mad Dash Mixes and I could not be more excited to tell you guys about it! They make preparing soup for dinner even easier than you could have imagined!

All you do is order a mix from them and then add a minimal 1-3 ingredients and viola, your soup is finished!

It usually just takes 20 minutes to throw it all together. I’m telling you, these mixes are heaven sent for a quick weeknight dinner!

So my very first soup I tried was this creamy tomato basil soup and it did not disappoint. Keep reading to see just how easy it is to prepare and I just may have a coupon code for you to use on your order with them too!

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

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
The perfect comfort meal- creamy tomato basil soup with a honey pumpkin cornbread muffin!

Ingredients Needed:

So all you have to do to create this delicious dinner or lunch is combine the mix with just three other simple ingredients:

  • 2 10.75oz cans of tomato puree
  • 1 1/2 cups of cold water
  • 2 cups of whole milk (I didn’t have whole milk on hand and just used our regular 1% milk and it turned out just fine!)
Mad Dash Mix for Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Here is what the soup packet looks like. Click here to order this one!

Directions:

After you combine all the ingredients, you just bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for just 10 minutes. How incredibly easy is that?! This soup would go perfectly with a grilled cheese sandwich.

I unfortunately did not have the ingredients for that, so I made these honey pumpkin cornbread muffins to go with it instead and it turned out delicious!

Ingredients for Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Literally all the ingredients you need!

And the good news is that I also have a coupon code to share with you! Just use Charity10 when checking out for 10% off your total order. And these mixes are so cheap anyways, it’s a steal!

Most mixes are only $6 a piece and you can’t beat that, let alone subtracting 10% off as well! And did I mention that they don’t just have soup mixes, but they have dips, desserts, sides, meat seasonings and even some gluten-free options as well!

These mixes would definitely make a perfect Christmas present! Click here to go to their website and view all the mixes they have to offer!
