I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

💅 Step 3: Apply base coat to the entire nail, immediately dip into your chosen dip powder color, and tap off the excess.

💅 Step 4: Apply the dip powder activator and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply another layer of base coat and wait 2 more minutes.

💅 Step 5: Buff your nails using the “shape” side of the buffer, followed by the “smooth” side.

💅 Step 6: Seal your nails with another layer of dip powder activator and let dry for 2 minutes.

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻
If you’re wondering what to do with all that lefto If you’re wondering what to do with all that leftover Halloween candy, these Leftover Halloween Candy Cookies are the answer! They combine two of my favorite things: candy AND cookies! So you really can’t go wrong. 🤣

Just chop up your favorite leftover chocolate candy bars, mix them into the cookie dough, and you’ve got the ultimate easy post-Halloween treat! Plus, every cookie is a little different depending on what candy you throw in. 🙌🏻

This is such a fun way to use up leftover Halloween candy instead of letting it sit around for the next six months. 😂

Creating an Easter Tablescape

So if you have been around here long enough, then you know I love to create seasonal tablescapes, and Easter is no exception! If you want to learn how to create an easter tablescape, then this post is for you!

Even though it looks like we will still be in self isolation by then too. But no worries, if I am stuck at home, I still want my table to be pretty and decorated!

Plus, I already had my table all decked out for Easter before this coronavirus outbreak! So I figured I would share with you all just how I created my Easter tablescape and that way if you want to style one too, it can give you some inspiration!

Full View of my Easter Tablescape
Here is a full view of how my Easter Tablescape looks this year! Click the link below for my dining room table and chairs!

Use What You Already Have On Hand

If you remember from my previous Vintage Valentines Day tablescape, I created a dough bowl full of greenery and brass candlesticks.

Well, to make things even easier with my Easter tablescape, I kept that all the same! I still love the look of it and I think the garland I have in there is still perfect for Spring and Easter.

Bloomscape, Indoor Potted Plants Shipped to Your Door

I also kept the cute little ironstone teacups I had in the middle of the place settings for my Valentine’s Day table too.

But for my Easter tablescape, I moved them to the side so you could see my adorable Rae Dunn egg shaped plates. I mean those are way too cute to be covered up, right?!

Rae Dunn Egg Plate for Easter Tablescape
Here you can see my cute egg plates and the ironstone teacups to the side of the place setting!

Add New, Inexpensive Touches

You guys have heard me say it before, but switching up the napkins is such an easy, cost effective way to create a whole new table setting.

I used these blue and white striped napkins and I love how bright and cheerful they make my table appear. And I actually already had these napkins from last Easter too so I didn’t have to spend any money!

On the sides of my dough bowl I added these cute chippy white birdhouses that I found from the Target dollar spot a few years ago.

I thought they added the perfect touch of Spring and helped fill in that open space between the dough bowl and the place setting.

Chippy White Birdhouse on Easter Tablescape
Look at that cute chippy white birdhouse- perfect for spring!

So really, that’s all I did to create my Easter tablescape this year. Super easy and simple and I kept the majority of it the same so it was so easy to switch out and make it new and fresh again.

What do you guys think? Let me know below and I would love to know if you set up a special table for Easter too!

    I always enjoy seeing your table settings because they are so pretty. I like the way you place your cloth napkins. I never really feel like mine look right with the napkin ring on and then they are bulky and hard to place. I’m going to try it the way you did it. Also, I don’t know why I didn’t ever think to use teacups instead of wine glasses?!? (Maybe because I have SOO many wine glasses.) This idea opens up some new possibilities for me. Thank you so much!

      Awe good. I am so glad I could inspire you a little today! And yes I am not a fan of napkin rings because I don’t know where to put them on my place setting. I love to place them under my plates. I think it gives it a more streamlined and clean look!

    How cute is this! What a beautiful and simple way to design an Easter tablescape. I love how simple it is (those “egg hunt” plates are to die-for). I feel like Easter decorations can be a little garish sometimes (too many pastels!) and this does a great job of conveying “Easter,” without going overboard. Thanks!

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE fall decorating and everything that comes with autumn, but Christmas is my all-time FAVORITE holiday! And the temptation to start pulling out all my Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and cozy holiday decor is getting stronger by the day! ✨

I mean, who says pumpkins and Christmas trees can’t coexist?! 🤣🍂🎄 I personally think a little fall decor mixed with some Christmas magic sounds like the best of both worlds!

💅 Step 3: Apply base coat to the entire nail, immediately dip into your chosen dip powder color, and tap off the excess.

💅 Step 4: Apply the dip powder activator and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply another layer of base coat and wait 2 more minutes.

💅 Step 5: Buff your nails using the “shape” side of the buffer, followed by the “smooth” side.

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

Don’t get me wrong, you might catch me out and about every once in a while… but just know I’ll need approximately 2–3 business days at home afterward to recover from all that socializing. 🤣

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Please tell me I’m not alone! Where are all my fellow introverts, homebodies, book lovers, and cat moms?! 👇🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Save this easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for your holiday crafting list!

Would you turn your vacation seashells into Christmas ornaments too?! 🦪

We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he marr Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he married me, I don’t think he realized he was signing up for a lifetime of Christmas decorating chaos! 😂

But when you’re a Christmas-obsessed wife who believes EVERY single room in the house deserves its own Christmas tree, you have to start decorating early, right?! 🎅🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

Now PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who starts decorating for Christmas in October?! 🎄🤣 And how many Christmas trees do you put up in your house?!

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻
