Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer meal kick lately since I unfortunately have to go back to work next week 😭 And let me tell you… having a freezer stocked full of easy homemade dinners is about to save me on those busy weeknights!

One of my all-time favorite freezer meals is this homemade chicken pot pie recipe 🥧✨ It definitely takes a little extra work, especially if you make the homemade pie crust from scratch; but trust me, it is SO worth it. The creamy chicken filling, flaky buttery crust, and cozy comfort food vibes make it one of the best dinners ever.

Anytime I make homemade chicken pot pie, I always make two: one for dinner now and one freezer meal for later. And this time, I took my extra frozen chicken pot pie to my sweet mama after her surgery yesterday 💛 It’s honestly the perfect meal to bring someone recovering from surgery, welcoming a new baby, or just going through a hard season because all they have to do is pop it in the oven for an easy homemade comfort meal.

If you love easy freezer meals, homemade comfort food recipes, or make-ahead dinners for busy families, you definitely need to try this one!

Meanwhile, his shiny new truck is sitting safe and spotless in the garage where not a single speck of dirt or potting soil can touch it 😂🚙

I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill

Not me rolling out of bed looking like an absolute Not me rolling out of bed looking like an absolute hot mess but still getting way too excited to see if my tomato plants grew overnight 😜 I swear gardening has officially become my personality lately. Last year I felt like a complete beginner, but this year I actually feel like I kind of know what I’m doing now 😂

There’s just something so exciting about checking on your vegetable garden every morning, seeing new blooms, baby tomatoes growing, and all the progress from your hard work. Honestly, it’s become one of my favorite parts of the day 🪴☀️

Anyone else out there obsessed with checking their garden first thing every morning too?! 🍅 #gardening #tomatoplant #funnygardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenerlife
I saw this “Top 5 Horror Stories” trend on Instagr I saw this “Top 5 Horror Stories” trend on Instagram and honestly… this one hit a little too close to home. 💔

As many of you know, I’m exactly 3 weeks post-op from my endometriosis excision surgery today. While my surgery was successful and my surgeon did remove the endometriosis, I’m still dealing with many of the same symptoms I had before surgery. And if I’m being honest, that’s been really hard mentally and emotionally.

One of my biggest fears is that my endometriosis surgery won’t fully help and that the chronic pain, back pain, insomnia, pelvic pain, and fatigue never truly go away. I’ve heard from so many women in the endometriosis community that healing after excision surgery can take anywhere from 2-6 months, sometimes even longer. And while that gives me hope, it’s also difficult knowing recovery and healing isn’t immediate.

Endometriosis has already taken so much from my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just want to feel like myself again someday. But for now, I’m continuing to trust God through this healing journey, stay consistent with pelvic floor physical therapy, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time. 💛

I also wanted to share this because I know so many others silently struggle with chronic illness, chronic pain, endometriosis, fatigue, and invisible illnesses too. Healing is never linear, and every recovery journey looks different. If you’re going through something similar, please know you’re not alone. 🫶 #chronicillness #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosiswarrior
I seriously can’t believe how fast May has flown b I seriously can’t believe how fast May has flown by! And the fact that it’s already Memorial Day weekend coming up!! I had a feeling it would since I’ve been on surgery leave and recovering this month 😜 But one thing I’m SO glad I did before surgery was get all of my patriotic summer decor put out early because I definitely wouldn’t have felt like decorating afterward.

Now I actually get to sit back, relax, and enjoy all the cozy red, white, and blue vibes around the house all summer long ❤️ There’s just something about patriotic home decor, American flag accents, and a festive coffee bar that makes everything feel like summertime is officially here!

So here’s a little peek at my patriotic coffee bar setup in all its red, white, and blue glory today 🇺🇸☕️ And honestly? I’ll probably leave it up all summer because I love it that much 😂

Chapter 33 is here 🎉 And today officially marks 2 Chapter 33 is here 🎉 And today officially marks 2 weeks post-op from my endometriosis excision surgery! Honestly, the best birthday gift I could ask for is finally being cleared to soak in the hot tub and take my scalding hot baths again 😂 If you know me, then you know how much I’ve missed my hot baths during recovery these past two weeks!

At first, I was told no soaking for 4 weeks, so finding out it was only 2 weeks truly felt like a win  So today’s plans include lots of relaxing, healing, hot tub time, hanging out with my hubby, and continuing to take it easy while my body recovers from surgery.

And because life has a sense of humor, I also have pelvic floor physical therapy today too… nothing says “happy 33rd birthday” quite like a PT appointment 🤣 But honestly, I’m just thankful to be healing, feeling better, and moving forward in my endometriosis recovery journey one day at a time. 💛

POV: You’re stuck recovering in bed so you cope by POV: You’re stuck recovering in bed so you cope by binge reading psychological thriller books 🤣📚

Since I’ve been laying around recovering with not much to do, I’ve spent most of my time completely hooked on some of the best psychological thriller books I’ve read in a while. Honestly, these twisty thriller novels have been the perfect distraction and now I need everyone to read them with me 👀 If you love dark thrillers, shocking endings, suspenseful books, and plot twists you NEVER see coming… add these to your TBR immediately!

📖 My recent psychological thriller book recommendations:

1️⃣ Gray After Dark — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I could NOT put this one down. Definitely my favorite thriller out of all of them! It had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and the twists were insane. Dark, suspenseful, creepy, and so addictive. If you love fast-paced psychological thrillers, this one is a MUST READ.

2️⃣ Drowning in Paper Flowers — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another thriller that completely consumed me. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the story surprised me again. The ending?! Absolutely wild.

3️⃣ Her First Lie — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a fun and twisty thriller read! Plus there was briefly a character named Charity in it which made me weirdly excited because I NEVER find my name in books 🤣

4️⃣ The Bartender — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this easy thriller read! It has multiple POVs which can sometimes lose me, but this one was done really well and kept me hooked the whole time.

5️⃣ The Missing Ones — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probably my least favorite of the bunch, mainly because the multiple POVs got a little confusing for me. BUT the storyline was super dark, twisty, and entertaining the entire time.

If you’re into thriller books, psychological suspense novels, mystery books with shocking twists, or binge-worthy reads that keep you up way too late… save this list for later 📚✨

Now tell me your favorite psychological thriller book because apparently this is my entire personality while I’m recovering 😂

From beautiful beaches and cozy restaurants to shopping, sightseeing, and hidden gems, there’s so much to experience on Hilton Head Island, even on chilly or rainy days!

Apparently seasonal home decor is way more exciting than the basket full of actual cat toys I bought them 😹

At this point, my cats have turned my home into a year-round Easter egg hunt. One day it’s Easter eggs under the couch, the next it’s Christmas ornaments rolling down the hallway, and somehow little pumpkins disappear every fall too 🤣 If you have indoor cats, you already know that no cute decor is ever truly safe.

Honestly though, finding random Easter eggs around the house months later has become one of my favorite funny cat mom moments 😂 I just wish my cats would at least start hiding money or candy inside them to make this surprise treasure hunt a little more rewarding next time 😜 #catmomlife #catmom #funnycat #funnycats #catmomproblems
I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much that I immediately ordered them for the back porch too 🙌 and honestly… best decision ever.

No watering. No dying plants. No stress.
Especially while I’m still recovering from surgery—because let’s be real, plant care is not happening right now 🤣

These look SO real, add the perfect cozy touch to any outdoor space, and are completely maintenance-free. If you’ve been wanting that lush, green porch vibe without the upkeep… these are it.

Perfect for:
✔️ Front porch decor
✔️ Back patio styling
✔️ Low-maintenance outdoor plants
✔️ Faux plant lovers

Flower Lovin’ Friends! One week post-op from end Flower Lovin’ Friends! 

One week post-op from endometriosis excision surgery and finally starting to feel a little like myself again 🙌🏻

This past weekend was rough. Lots of pain and very little energy, but I’m happy to say I think I’m finally turning a corner. The intense pain has eased, and now it’s more soreness and discomfort (which I will gladly take over that pain any day!).

I also got my pathology report back and everything came back non-cancerous, just endometriosis, which is such a huge relief 💛

The biggest struggle right now? Post-surgery fatigue is no joke. I’ll think I have enough energy to do something simple like water my flowers, and my body immediately humbles me 😅 So I’m learning (slowly lol) to rest, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time.

Healing isn’t linear, but we’re getting there, slow and steady 💫 Thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and support… it truly means everything to me.

Happy Wednesday, friends 🤍

Creating a Romantic Winter Centerpiece

If you’ve hung around here long enough, then you know I love simple DIYs and easy ways to change out my decor from season to season. So today I wanted to share all about my Winter tablescape I have created and mainly all about my centerpiece.

I didn’t change too much after Christmas and the total cost for this project was under $25 for me to create so it was very reasonable.

It also did not take me very long to style and I was able to do one of my favorite things- go thrifting to find all the pieces I needed! Keep on reading to see just how I styled everything and see where I bought everything that I needed for this project as well.

Romantic Winter Centerpiece
Loving the brass candlesticks and the orange slices together!

Brass Candlesticks

So I think the real showstopper here is the antique brass candlesticks I found while out thrifting after Christmas. I found one and was inspired to find a few more. After the first one, I was hooked.

I only put a total of three in my dough bowl because that was really all that I could fit at the bottom part before it started to curve upward.

And plus, grouping things in threes is always preferred in interior design anyway so it worked out perfectly. I got these pretty little things for $6 and under a piece so that was really my only cost to this project besides getting the candles to go in them as well. I got the candles from Michaels and they were under $2 a piece as well so it was very cheap!

I found the candlesticks from the Antique Tobacco Barn. It’s a local antique store near me and it was even feature in The Magnolia Journal before! So it’s kinda a big deal!

It’s in an old barn and there are over 75 antique dealers there to shop from. I do love going there often to browse around, but I will say their prices most of the time are on the higher end so I don’t purchase too many pieces from there.

I have better luck in Tennessee, as you probably remember from my last blog post (click here in case you missed it). But every now and then I will find a great deal (like these candlesticks) and I just can’t resist!

If you’re ever in the Asheville area, then I do recommend that you go and check them out since you never know what you can find! I will put all their information below for you just in case you’re interested in taking a trip there sometime:

Cozy Romantic Winter Tablescape

Garland and Trees

Another main thing I kept in my centerpiece was the garland I used at Christmastime. It isn’t very Christmasey at all and it doesn’t have any red to it, so I figured I could leave it out for winter. Plus, it has cute little pinecones on it too so it is definitely perfect for winter.

I also took apart my dried orange garland and laid the slices on top of the garland for more texture and warmth. Another thing I did was I left out those two little tabletop trees that I got from the Target Dollar Spot a few years ago.

They just have pinecones on them as well so I felt as though I could get by a little longer with those displayed. Both the trees and garland transition perfectly into winter after Christmas.

New Napkins

The last thing I added to this Romantic Winter Centerpiece of mine were new napkins. But I didn’t spend a dime on them because I won a giveaway on Instagram! Yay me, that really never happens!

But I got a set of six rustic looking napkins from Piper Classics. They have the cutest farmhouse and primitive style decor so if you haven’t heard of them before, you should definitely go check them out. You can find the napkins I used for this tablescape here if you’re interested.

New Napkins
Here is a close up shot of my new napkins! Aren’t they so pretty?!

Well, that’s everything that I did in order to create my romantic looking winter centerpiece. I am very happy with how it turned out and I will be enjoying it all winter long. What do you guys think?? Let me know below and thanks so much for stopping by!

    Simple DIY’s are so much fun and the best way to change things up from time to time! I didn’t know grouping things in three was preferred in interior design (learn something new every day haha!) but everything in 3’s does look better than 2’s or just 1. I love the little trees on the sides of the center piece, really brings it all together – Target usually has something that can last through several seasons which is great!

    YAY – massive congratulations on winning a giveaway on Instagram! Finding the right set of napkins is always a challenge to match the whole aesthetic/theme but those napkins work perfectly!

    I always admired centerpieces. They make a big difference when it comes to decor. I love the addition of the dried oranges. Adds a nice subtle scent. It is great that it is easy to put this set together! Everything together makes a huge difference. Thanks for sharing!

Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer meal kick lately since I unfortunately have to go back to work next week 😭 And let me tell you… having a freezer stocked full of easy homemade dinners is about to save me on those busy weeknights!

One of my all-time favorite freezer meals is this homemade chicken pot pie recipe 🥧✨ It definitely takes a little extra work, especially if you make the homemade pie crust from scratch; but trust me, it is SO worth it. The creamy chicken filling, flaky buttery crust, and cozy comfort food vibes make it one of the best dinners ever.

Anytime I make homemade chicken pot pie, I always make two: one for dinner now and one freezer meal for later. And this time, I took my extra frozen chicken pot pie to my sweet mama after her surgery yesterday 💛 It’s honestly the perfect meal to bring someone recovering from surgery, welcoming a new baby, or just going through a hard season because all they have to do is pop it in the oven for an easy homemade comfort meal.

If you love easy freezer meals, homemade comfort food recipes, or make-ahead dinners for busy families, you definitely need to try this one!

Meanwhile, his shiny new truck is sitting safe and spotless in the garage where not a single speck of dirt or potting soil can touch it 😂🚙

Tell me I’m not the only wife dealing with this kind of logic?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 #marriagehumor #povreels #funnymarriage #husbandwifecomedy #husbandwifejokes
I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill
Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and g Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and getting ready to head back to work next week, I’ve been stocking my freezer with all my favorite freezer-friendly meals, and this crockpot spaghetti sauce is always at the top of the list 🍝❤️

This easy slow cooker spaghetti sauce recipe is seriously my all-time favorite comfort food. There’s nothing better than a big plate of spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, especially when the crockpot does all the work for you! Just toss everything in, let it simmer low and slow all day, and your house smells AMAZING 🤤

One of the best parts? This recipe makes a huge batch, so I always freeze extra for easy weeknight dinners later on. Just thaw, heat, and dinner is basically done 🙌 Perfect for busy work weeks, meal prep, freezer cooking, and easy family dinners!

Not me rolling out of bed looking like an absolute Not me rolling out of bed looking like an absolute hot mess but still getting way too excited to see if my tomato plants grew overnight 😜 I swear gardening has officially become my personality lately. Last year I felt like a complete beginner, but this year I actually feel like I kind of know what I’m doing now 😂

There’s just something so exciting about checking on your vegetable garden every morning, seeing new blooms, baby tomatoes growing, and all the progress from your hard work. Honestly, it’s become one of my favorite parts of the day 🪴☀️

Anyone else out there obsessed with checking their garden first thing every morning too?! 🍅 #gardening #tomatoplant #funnygardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenerlife
I saw this “Top 5 Horror Stories” trend on Instagr I saw this “Top 5 Horror Stories” trend on Instagram and honestly… this one hit a little too close to home. 💔

As many of you know, I’m exactly 3 weeks post-op from my endometriosis excision surgery today. While my surgery was successful and my surgeon did remove the endometriosis, I’m still dealing with many of the same symptoms I had before surgery. And if I’m being honest, that’s been really hard mentally and emotionally.

One of my biggest fears is that my endometriosis surgery won’t fully help and that the chronic pain, back pain, insomnia, pelvic pain, and fatigue never truly go away. I’ve heard from so many women in the endometriosis community that healing after excision surgery can take anywhere from 2-6 months, sometimes even longer. And while that gives me hope, it’s also difficult knowing recovery and healing isn’t immediate.

Endometriosis has already taken so much from my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just want to feel like myself again someday. But for now, I’m continuing to trust God through this healing journey, stay consistent with pelvic floor physical therapy, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time. 💛

I also wanted to share this because I know so many others silently struggle with chronic illness, chronic pain, endometriosis, fatigue, and invisible illnesses too. Healing is never linear, and every recovery journey looks different. If you’re going through something similar, please know you’re not alone. 🫶 #chronicillness #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosiswarrior
I seriously can’t believe how fast May has flown b I seriously can’t believe how fast May has flown by! And the fact that it’s already Memorial Day weekend coming up!! I had a feeling it would since I’ve been on surgery leave and recovering this month 😜 But one thing I’m SO glad I did before surgery was get all of my patriotic summer decor put out early because I definitely wouldn’t have felt like decorating afterward.

Now I actually get to sit back, relax, and enjoy all the cozy red, white, and blue vibes around the house all summer long ❤️ There’s just something about patriotic home decor, American flag accents, and a festive coffee bar that makes everything feel like summertime is officially here!

So here’s a little peek at my patriotic coffee bar setup in all its red, white, and blue glory today 🇺🇸☕️ And honestly? I’ll probably leave it up all summer because I love it that much 😂

Chapter 33 is here 🎉 And today officially marks 2 Chapter 33 is here 🎉 And today officially marks 2 weeks post-op from my endometriosis excision surgery! Honestly, the best birthday gift I could ask for is finally being cleared to soak in the hot tub and take my scalding hot baths again 😂 If you know me, then you know how much I’ve missed my hot baths during recovery these past two weeks!

At first, I was told no soaking for 4 weeks, so finding out it was only 2 weeks truly felt like a win  So today’s plans include lots of relaxing, healing, hot tub time, hanging out with my hubby, and continuing to take it easy while my body recovers from surgery.

And because life has a sense of humor, I also have pelvic floor physical therapy today too… nothing says “happy 33rd birthday” quite like a PT appointment 🤣 But honestly, I’m just thankful to be healing, feeling better, and moving forward in my endometriosis recovery journey one day at a time. 💛

POV: You’re stuck recovering in bed so you cope by POV: You’re stuck recovering in bed so you cope by binge reading psychological thriller books 🤣📚

Since I’ve been laying around recovering with not much to do, I’ve spent most of my time completely hooked on some of the best psychological thriller books I’ve read in a while. Honestly, these twisty thriller novels have been the perfect distraction and now I need everyone to read them with me 👀 If you love dark thrillers, shocking endings, suspenseful books, and plot twists you NEVER see coming… add these to your TBR immediately!

📖 My recent psychological thriller book recommendations:

1️⃣ Gray After Dark — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I could NOT put this one down. Definitely my favorite thriller out of all of them! It had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and the twists were insane. Dark, suspenseful, creepy, and so addictive. If you love fast-paced psychological thrillers, this one is a MUST READ.

2️⃣ Drowning in Paper Flowers — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another thriller that completely consumed me. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the story surprised me again. The ending?! Absolutely wild.

3️⃣ Her First Lie — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a fun and twisty thriller read! Plus there was briefly a character named Charity in it which made me weirdly excited because I NEVER find my name in books 🤣

4️⃣ The Bartender — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this easy thriller read! It has multiple POVs which can sometimes lose me, but this one was done really well and kept me hooked the whole time.

5️⃣ The Missing Ones — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probably my least favorite of the bunch, mainly because the multiple POVs got a little confusing for me. BUT the storyline was super dark, twisty, and entertaining the entire time.

If you’re into thriller books, psychological suspense novels, mystery books with shocking twists, or binge-worthy reads that keep you up way too late… save this list for later 📚✨

Now tell me your favorite psychological thriller book because apparently this is my entire personality while I’m recovering 😂

POV: You’re a cat mom and Easter never actually en POV: You’re a cat mom and Easter never actually ends 😂🐣 Months later and I’m STILL finding plastic Easter eggs hidden all over my house thanks to my cats. Apparently seasonal home decor is way more exciting than the basket full of actual cat toys I bought them 😹

At this point, my cats have turned my home into a year-round Easter egg hunt. One day it’s Easter eggs under the couch, the next it’s Christmas ornaments rolling down the hallway, and somehow little pumpkins disappear every fall too 🤣 If you have indoor cats, you already know that no cute decor is ever truly safe.

Honestly though, finding random Easter eggs around the house months later has become one of my favorite funny cat mom moments 😂 I just wish my cats would at least start hiding money or candy inside them to make this surprise treasure hunt a little more rewarding next time 😜 #catmomlife #catmom #funnycat #funnycats #catmomproblems
I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much that I immediately ordered them for the back porch too 🙌 and honestly… best decision ever.

No watering. No dying plants. No stress.
Especially while I’m still recovering from surgery—because let’s be real, plant care is not happening right now 🤣

These look SO real, add the perfect cozy touch to any outdoor space, and are completely maintenance-free. If you’ve been wanting that lush, green porch vibe without the upkeep… these are it.

Perfect for:
✔️ Front porch decor
✔️ Back patio styling
✔️ Low-maintenance outdoor plants
✔️ Faux plant lovers

Flower Lovin’ Friends! One week post-op from end Flower Lovin’ Friends! 

One week post-op from endometriosis excision surgery and finally starting to feel a little like myself again 🙌🏻

This past weekend was rough. Lots of pain and very little energy, but I’m happy to say I think I’m finally turning a corner. The intense pain has eased, and now it’s more soreness and discomfort (which I will gladly take over that pain any day!).

I also got my pathology report back and everything came back non-cancerous, just endometriosis, which is such a huge relief 💛

The biggest struggle right now? Post-surgery fatigue is no joke. I’ll think I have enough energy to do something simple like water my flowers, and my body immediately humbles me 😅 So I’m learning (slowly lol) to rest, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time.

Healing isn’t linear, but we’re getting there, slow and steady 💫 Thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and support… it truly means everything to me.

Happy Wednesday, friends 🤍
