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?! 🦪

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?! 🎃👇🏻
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. 😂

POV: You finally decide it’s time to tell your ado POV: You finally decide it’s time to tell your adopted daughter the truth about her biological mother… and she is NOT taking the news well. 😭🤣😹

Poor Riley! The look of absolute SHOCK on her face when she hears about her past! 🤣 I swear, the dramatic reactions of cats are just too funny sometimes!

But here’s a fun fact about our little rescue kitty! 🐈‍⬛ When we adopted Riley, my mom actually adopted her biological mama, Smoke! So technically, Riley’s mom lives with her grandma now. 🤣 Which means we can visit her anytime we want!

So don’t worry, Riley! We know exactly where you came from, and your mama is living her best life too! 😹❤️

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who makes up dramatic storylines about her cats?! 🤣

DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath

Are you looking for the perfect Valentine’s wreath for your front door this year?! Well, look no further because I have the easiest idea for you! Come check out this cute and easy DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath I made this weekend!

Whether you are an experienced crafter or not, this Valentine wreath tutorial is great for anyone, regardless of skill levels. And, since this wreath is made from wood beads, it’s very different from any traditional wreaths you have seen for Valentine’s Day in the past.

But, honestly, it is way more cost effective too because of the minimal supply list. And I am all about that! Usually, when you see Valentine wreath ideas online, the supply list is astronomical. So if you’re on more of a budget, but looking to enhance your Valentine’s Day decor, this post is for you!

Finished Hanging Wood Bead Heart Wreath
So cute and simple! Perfect for Valentine’s Day decor!

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

Materials Needed for Heart Wreath:

Wood Beads of Various Sizes

Wired Twine (and Wire Cutters to cut the twine with)

Valentine’s Day Themed Ribbon

Materials Needed For DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath
All the materials you need for this easy DIY project. Linking the list below for you too:

And that’s it! Do you know of many other themed DIY projects like this that only call for 3 materials?! I cant think of that many! So that’s why I love this valentine decoration- cute but cost effective as well!

I also still had some wired twine leftover, so that wasn’t an extra cost for me either. Most of these materials are dollar store items too so you can save some money by shopping there as well.

Stringing on the Wood Beads

This craft may remind of you of my Beaded Wood Pumpkin I made in the fall last year. Or my DIY Wood Bead Ornament that I made for my Christmas decorations too. As you can probably tell, I am loving these simple wood bead crafts.

You can easily transition them into whatever season you are celebrating or decorating for. I also had plenty of leftover wired twine, so I didn’t even need to buy anymore for this project.

Separating Large and Small Wood Beads
I like to separate the large and small beads into different bowls so I can easily string them onto the wired twine.

I absolutely love being able to reuse crafting supplies, don’t you?! If you can’t find wired twine, you could also probably use some floral wire as well. You just want something that is strong enough to hold the shape of a heart, while still being easy to work with as well. But usually, any craft store will have them in stock.

Also, if you want the beads to be different colors, you could definitely paint them before stringing them onto the wired twine. I thought about doing that, but I was kind of leaning towards a more neutral Valentine’s Day decoration. Plus, skipping the painting makes this craft even easier!

Wood Beads on Wired Twine
Stringing the beads onto the twine.

Obviously, the first thing you need to do for this DIY wood bead heart wreath, is to string the beads onto the twine. I alternated between the small and large beads back to back to give it more visual interest. But, if you wanted to do all the same sized bead, you could definitely do that too.

Creating the Valentines Wreath

Now that you have the wood bead all strung out, you can now shape the wired twine into a heart shape. I just brought the two ends together and then tied a knot between the two to combine them in the middle of the heart shape. You could also use a drop of hot glue from a hot glue gun as well to combine it.

Stringing Wood Beads on Wired Twine
Creating the heart shape here.

But I decided not to do that. Instead, to hide the bulky knot of wired twine, I used some Valentine’s Day themed ribbon and tied a little bow on top. You could use red ribbon if you have some leftover from Christmas too. That would be another cost effective way to create this wreath too.

However, I just decided to buy a cheap Valentine’s Day ribbon for this project. I also love the pop of pink the ribbon gives to the otherwise completely neutral wood bead heart wreath.

Finished DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath

Enjoy Your Wood Bead Heart Wreath

That was the final step to this little Valentine’s Day wreath DIY tutorial! It’s such a great way to create a cute wreath like this. This was also so much fun to make and would be perfect Valentine’s day crafts to make for a party too. Especially since it is so easy and the best part is literally anyone could make them too!

If you’re looking for more Valentine’s Day decorations too, be sure to check out my DIY Vintage Valentine Heart Garland. Or my Vintage Valentine’s Centerpiece tutorial as well.

Wood Bead Heart Wreath in Entryway
It looks super cute hanging in my entryway space!

I hope you enjoyed this valentines day wreath idea and if you make your own DIY valentine wreath too, please let me know! I would love to see it in different shades too. I think that would be really pretty. I may make another one and paint it pink! Seeing as how pink is my favorite color.

I think that’s why I love Valentine’s Day decor so much. It makes it perfectly acceptable to sneak pops of pink into my home! I hope you all enjoy celebrating cupid’s favorite day and I am so glad you stopped by to check out this quick and easy tutorial as well!

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?! 🎃👇🏻
