Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 T Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 There’s just something about mixing antique finds, Americana decor, and all the red, white, and blue accents that makes a home feel extra cozy for summer. From thrifted vintage treasures to old-fashioned patriotic decorations, I’m always on the hunt for unique pieces to style around the house all season long!

But really… I leave my patriotic summer decor up from Memorial Day all the way through the 4th of July because nothing says “summer at home” more than classic red, white, and blue decor 🇺🇸

If you love vintage Americana decor, thrifted home finds, farmhouse summer decor, and patriotic decorating ideas, then we’d definitely be best friends 🤍 #vintagepatriotic #vintagepatrioticdecor #patrioticdecor #patrioticstyle #patrioticvibes
Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

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.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾

Now, did this private pool moment last all day? Absolutely not. About an hour later reality showed up. But honestly, one hour of peace and quiet was all I needed. 🤣

Anyone else dream of having the whole pool to themselves, or is that just my introvert personality talking? 👀☀️

Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup

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

It’s been awhile since I shared one of my favorite easy dinner ideas with you all so I figured now would be the perfect time to share again! I absolutely LOVE Mad Dash Mixes and if you haven’t heard of them before, you are definitely missing out!

They make cooking dinner so easy and so simple! I love to keep my pantry stock full of these mixes. They are also super cheap and affordable and you can even use my code “Charity10” when you order and save 10% off your entire order! And if you want to know just how easy and simple it is, then keep on reading for the full recipe!

Mad Dash Mixes
So easy and so tasty!

So with just a handful of other ingredients besides the soup mix, you can create a tasty and delicious dinner with minimal cleanup and prep time.

Mad Dash Mixes basically does all the work for you so that you can throw together a quick weeknight meal and still feel like you just made a soup that has been simmering on the stove all day long!

But in reality it just took you five easy steps to prepare! And the best part is, they don’t just make soup mixes! They make dips, desserts, meat seasonings and so much more! You can see everything they offer here.

Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Here is what the packet of Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup looks like. Be sure to use code “Charity10” for 10% off!

Ingredients For Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup:

  • 1 package of Mad Dash Cheesy Enchilada Soup Mix
  • 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 cups whole milk (I just used 1% because that was all I had and it worked just fine for me!)
  • Canned or rotisserie chicken (I just cooked and shredded some chicken breasts I had on hand too)
  • 1 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 15 oz can of corn (optional)
  • 1 15 oz can of black beans (optional)
  • Tortilla chips for topping (optional)
Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup Ingredients
This is literally all you need to make a tasty meal!

Directions:

  1. Combine your mix with 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of cold water, 4 cups of whole milk, and chicken. Also, add in your corn and black beans here if you want to use them as well. I did, and I think it was a delicious touch and made the soup more filling!
  2. Bring the ingredients up to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Then, add 1 cup of Mexican Blend shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
Combine all Ingredients
Combine all the ingredients (except the cheese).
Bring up to a boil
Bring up to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Add in Mexican Blend shredded cheese
Add in the cheese.
Stir until cheese is melted
Stir until the cheese is melted.

You can also customize this soup with your favorite toppings as well. I added some crushed up tortilla chips and a little bit of extra cheese to mine and it was super delicious.

But, you could even add some avocado or sour cream if you like. I love how the mix is just your base and you can be as creative as you want to be when fixing this meal.

I really can’t say enough great things about Mad Dash Mixes so I highly recommend that you try them out if you are looking for quick and easy dinner ideas.

Plus, we got six servings out of this one very easy to prepare meal! You really can’t beat that.

If you want to read some of my other reviews from this company too, then check out my posts about the Cranberry Pasta Salad and the Tomato Basil Soup I made from them as well.

Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Here she is topped with cheesy goodness and tortilla chips- yum!

Have you ever heard of Mad Dash Mixes before? And if so, what is your favorite mix from them? I have too many to choose just one! If you try it out, let me know what you think! I would love to hear your thoughts as well!

Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 T Vintage patriotic decor just hits different ❤️🤍💙 There’s just something about mixing antique finds, Americana decor, and all the red, white, and blue accents that makes a home feel extra cozy for summer. From thrifted vintage treasures to old-fashioned patriotic decorations, I’m always on the hunt for unique pieces to style around the house all season long!

But really… I leave my patriotic summer decor up from Memorial Day all the way through the 4th of July because nothing says “summer at home” more than classic red, white, and blue decor 🇺🇸

If you love vintage Americana decor, thrifted home finds, farmhouse summer decor, and patriotic decorating ideas, then we’d definitely be best friends 🤍 #vintagepatriotic #vintagepatrioticdecor #patrioticdecor #patrioticstyle #patrioticvibes
Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Now the real question is… what do you think is inside?! Drop your guesses below ⬇️

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

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.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾

There’s just something magical about a peaceful po There’s just something magical about a peaceful pool day with nothing but sunshine, vitamin D, and complete silence. No crowds, no splashing, no screaming kids, just pure relaxation and summer vibes. 😂

Now, did this private pool moment last all day? Absolutely not. About an hour later reality showed up. But honestly, one hour of peace and quiet was all I needed. 🤣

Anyone else dream of having the whole pool to themselves, or is that just my introvert personality talking? 👀☀️

If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern Charm fan. Honestly, watching Bravo reality shows is one of my favorite hobbies, and Craig Conover has always been one of my favorite Bravolebrities! 😂

So when I found out there was a grand reopening event at @sewingdownsouth while we were in Charleston, South Carolina, there was absolutely no way I was missing it. But what made it even better? They were actually filming for Southern Charm while we were there!

As someone who visits Charleston every chance I get and has watched Southern Charm for years, this felt like a total bucket-list moment. So keep your eyes peeled for Season 12… you just might spot me somewhere in the background. 😜

But can we talk about Craig for a second? We’ve met him before, and he is genuinely one of the nicest people. He spends so much time talking with fans, taking photos, signing autographs, and making everyone feel welcome. In a world where celebrity interactions can be hit or miss, he is the real deal.

If you’re planning a Charleston trip, make sure to add Sewing Down South to your itinerary. Whether you’re a Southern Charm fan or just love shopping local, it’s such a fun stop in the heart of downtown Charleston!

Now tell me, who’s your favorite Southern Charm cast member? 👇 #southerncharm #craigconover #sewingdownsouth #realitytvshow #bravotv
Anyone else have facial expressions that give away Anyone else have facial expressions that give away EVERY thought in their head? 😂 Because I swear I can’t hide what I’m thinking to save my life. I may not say a word, but my face will tell the whole story anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Being overly expressive is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, people always know where they stand with me. On the other hand, it has definitely gotten me into trouble more than once! 🤣

Sometimes I think about Botox, but then I remember I’d probably lose my greatest talent: making faces when people are being ridiculous. 😜 It’s honestly a survival skill at this point.

Thank goodness I wear a mask at work because it hides at least some of my reactions! 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose facial expressions expose every emotion before they even say a word. Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your face is constantly spilling the tea!

If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

AD | If you’ve been seeing those viral courtside-i AD | If you’ve been seeing those viral courtside-inspired t-shirts all over your feed lately, you’re not alone! 🏀 I knew I had to put my own spin on the trend, so I grabbed my @cricut machine and created this custom courtside tee from scratch.

One of my favorite things about Cricut is how easy it makes it to bring creative ideas to life. Whether you’re making custom t-shirts, personalized gifts, home decor, or party projects, the possibilities are endless! And honestly? Making your own shirts is a little addictive once you get started. 😂

I love being able to create something unique that no one else has, and Cricut cuts make the whole process so simple and fun.

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. ❤️
