After my endometriosis excision surgery, I treated myself to a special little gift from Kendra Scott. Using their Color Bar, I created a custom yellow necklace because yellow is the official color of Endometriosis Awareness.

This necklace is more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to keep going on the hard days. To keep sharing my journey with endometriosis, chronic illness, chronic fatigue, and all the invisible struggles that so many women face every day.

If you’ve been following along, you know that surgery hasn’t been the miracle fix I hoped for. I’m still navigating symptoms, fatigue, and recovery. Some days it’s hard to explain just how exhausting chronic illness can be unless you’ve lived it yourself.

But this necklace reminds me that my story matters. It reminds me to continue advocating for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more conversations around women’s health. It reminds me to be a voice for those who feel unheard and to keep fighting for a future where endometriosis is taken seriously.

One of the greatest blessings from sharing my journey online has been finding this incredible community. I’ve met so many amazing women who truly understand the challenges of living with endometriosis, POTS-like symptoms, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Knowing we’re not alone makes all the difference.

So thank you for continuing to listen, support, and learn alongside me. 💛 I promise to keep showing up, sharing my story, and spreading awareness for the millions of women living with endometriosis.

DIY Easter Porch Decor

I’m so excited for warmer weather and spring finally approaching us! And with that comes porch sitting! So I thought it would be fun to share some DIY Easter porch decor ideas with you all today.

That way, you can get your porches perfect for this Easter season! Even if it is still a little bit chilly where you are, you can always use a little bit of faux greenery to bring in some spring touches.

But, I can’t wait to start adding in some fresh spring flowers and plants too. However, everything I am sharing today can be easily done, regardless of the current weather of your outdoor space.

So come with me and see how you can make your own outdoor Easter decorations and how you can simply style your porches and get them ready for spring!

Finished Easter Topiary

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full disclosure policy for more details.

​DIY Easter Topiary 

This may be one of my most favorite Easter crafts I’ve ever made. Not only was it super simple, but it turned out so cute! And the supplies and materials needed to make them were super minimal!

Which makes it even better! I was inspired seeing some bunny front porch planters while browsing my favorite Pinterest boards, but I realized getting all the supplies to make them would be pretty expensive.

Materials Needed For Easter Topiary

I needed some inexpensive ways to create the same look. So I decided to just downsize the project and use some small flower pots instead.

And I found the cutest little moss bunny stems at Michael’s Craft Store that I thought would work perfectly for this project. The pots I used were small terra cotta pots. And you could leave them as is if you wanted more neutral colors, but I wanted to make them more Easter like.

Painting Terra Cotta Pots

So I decided to paint them in pretty pastel colors. You could use whatever acrylic paint or even spray paint you have on hand for this. But, I ended up using Fusion Mineral Paint.

Painting Pots

I used the colors French Eggshell and Peony because I just thought they were perfect for spring. And I wanted a different color for the pots too.

But you could use whatever color scheme you wanted! So after painting the pots and letting them dry, I added some dry foam inside the pots.

Making Easter Topiaries

The piece I got was too big so I simply just cut them in half in order to make them fit inside the pot. After that, I used a hot glue gun and glued some faux reindeer moss on top.

Then, I cut the moss bunny stems to size and stuck it right on top of the moss, into the dry foam at the bottom. The little moss Easter bunny is the perfect finishing touch!

DIY Easter Topiary

These finished topiaries make for the perfect, simple DIY outdoor decorations. You could even make Easter egg topiaries too and top them with some Easter eggs instead of the moss bunny if you wanted to! 

DIY Easter Porch

DIY Easter Signs

Y’all may remember me making this cute DIY Easter sign a few weeks ago. Not only does it look perfect on my outdoor bar cart, but you could easily add some yellow ribbon and hang it on your front door too.

Basically any kind of spring or Easter sign would work and you can easily make your own too! For my screened in porch though, I just have it placed on a little stand on top of my bar cart. The bright colors really make it stand out and I think it looks perfectly displayed here. 

Homemade Easter Wood Crafts For Porch

DIY Bunny Garden Markers

Y’all know I love to make my own DIY plant markers and garden markers. So I thought I could kind of do the same thing and create a bunny theme to them.

So I used my xTool P2 machine and cut out some cute bunny markers on some 3 mm basswood plywood.

Then, I used my favorite Early American Stain and stained the markers. Once they were dry, I added them to some plants on the porch. Easy peasy! And it makes for the perfect DIY Easter porch decor.

Other DIY Easter Porch Decor Ideas

I found a lot of the decor pictured here from the Target dollar spot. Which is always a good idea to check there for some cute and inexpensive decor.

I found some colorful eggs, which I placed around my outdoor bar cart. And a cute Easter tree filled with faux eggs! Also, they had some super cute Easter baskets, and I found this adorable carrot basket to place out there as well.

Finished DIY Easter Topiary

And instead of placing fresh flowers inside of it, I added some of the dollar spot faux tulips and fabric carrots and I think they look super cute in it!

You could even use a thrifted basket you have on hand and fill it up with some pastel eggs for a pop of color inside too. Another great place for inexpensive decor that you can easily DIY as well, is the Dollar Tree.

You may even remember my egg wreath I made using their wire wreath form there a few years ago! Also, Hobby Lobby is another great spot for DIY Easter decorations as well. 

Enjoy Your DIY Easter Porch Decor

Well, no matter what you decide to do as far as your Easter front porch decor goes, I hope this post gave you a little inspiration and some ideas for it as well.

DIY Easter Porch Decor

As you can see there are many DIY projects that can add simple touches to your porch for Easter. I’m so ready for this upcoming spring season and I can’t think of a better way to enjoy it than by sitting out on a beautifully decorated porch.

And you don’t have to take down a lot of these decorations right after Easter Sunday is over. I like using bunnies all throughout the spring time, so you really get the most out of these front porch ideas.

There are so many creative ways to get a nice Spring feel to your porch decor. And I hope you are able to enjoy it and spend a lot of time out on your porch this Easter season as well!

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. ❤️

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

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. 🤣

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!

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! 😂👇
