We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove this weekend watching the pros play, soaking up the gorgeous mountain views, and just enjoying such a fun day together!

There’s something extra special about a golf weekend in Asheville, NC, especially when you get to experience a beautiful course like Walnut Cove and see professional golfers in action. And while I may not know everything happening on the course 😂, I can definitely appreciate the atmosphere, the views, and a good excuse for a fun weekend out!

Western North Carolina really does have some of the prettiest places. 🤍

Golf fans: would this be your perfect weekend too?! ⛳️👇🏻

Because is it really a cookout without homemade So Because is it really a cookout without homemade Southern potato salad?!

This is one of those tried-and-true recipes I make whenever we’re grilling because it literally goes with EVERYTHING. Burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, ribs, grilled chicken—you name it, and a big bowl of creamy potato salad belongs right beside it. 🙌🏻

And with football season officially here, this easy Southern potato salad is the perfect game day side dish for backyard cookouts, tailgates, football parties, or an easy fall weekend dinner.

It’s classic, creamy, comforting, and one of those recipes everyone keeps going back for another scoop of!

So if your ideal fall weekend involves football on the TV, something delicious cooking on the grill, and all the classic Southern sides, you need to save this one. 😍

Y’all, I need your help settling a very important Y’all, I need your help settling a very important debate. 🤣👇🏻

I have an event coming up in October that calls for cocktail attire, so naturally I found TWO cocktail dresses I love and now I can’t decide which one to wear. 😂

They’re basically the same color, but totally different vibes…

✨ Dress 1: sleek + satin
✨ Dress 2: sparkly + sequined

I think I’m Team Dress 1, but my hubby is firmly Team Dress 2… so we need outside opinions before this turns into a full household debate. 🤣

Which one would YOU wear for an October cocktail attire event?!

Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies do NOT have to be complicated! Just add colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs to sugar cookies and suddenly you’ve got the cutest little monster cookies. 👀🎃

I love making homemade sugar cookie dough, but if you’re short on time? Grab the store-bought dough. I fully support taking the shortcut. 😂👏🏻

These easy Halloween monster sugar cookies would be so cute for a Halloween party, spooky movie night, kids’ Halloween treat, or just a fun weekend baking project.

Minimal effort + maximum spooky cute. That’s my kind of Halloween baking! 👻

Would you make these with homemade cookie dough or take the store-bought shortcut?! 👇🏻

The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

But I think it turned out absolutely adorable! 🐈‍⬛🎃 This was such an easy and fun way to personalize inexpensive Halloween decor and make it look just like your own pet.
Now I need to know… would you paint one to look like your cat?! 👇🏻

🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, load it up with all your favorite cookies, candies, chocolates, and seasonal treats for the ultimate fall dessert charcuterie board. 🍫🍬🍪

The best part?! It’s completely NO BAKE 🙌 Just grab your favorite fall and Halloween treats, arrange them on a board, and you have an easy dessert that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did. 😂

This would be SO cute for a Halloween party, fall girls’ night, Friendsgiving, movie night, or any fall get-together. 🎃👻 And you can easily customize it with whatever treats you love!

Honestly, I think dessert charcuterie boards might be better than regular charcuterie boards… but maybe that’s just my sweet tooth talking. 😆

Would you make a fall dessert board like this?! And more importantly… what treat are you grabbing FIRST?! 👇🏻

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

I always like to have an easy and simple coffee table centerpiece that goes along with the current season at hand. I had a winter related one on my coffee table most recently (you can see it back on my winter home decor post).

But I was just ready for a change. I wanted something more fresh and with more greenery to liven the space up. And after strolling through Target, and spotting some of the new releases of the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collection.

I knew just what I needed to do!

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

Antique Tool Caddy

One of my favorite antique finds is this antique tool caddy I keep sitting on my coffee table. I love it because not only are the wood tones amazing, but you can easily switch it out from season to season.

It has a total of 6 cubby holes in it, 3 on each side. So I always like to place something in there to create a cool and unique statement piece.

Antique Tool Caddy
Here is the tool caddy with nothing in it. I’m also linking a similar tool caddy below that you can order online if you can’t find one at an antique shop near you:

You’ve seen me style this piece before to create an easy and simple fall centerpiece. I usually like to place a few glass pieces inside of it. And then add in some greenery or floral options as well.

But, after I saw these cute potted plants at Target, I figured they would be the perfect neutral option to place in there.

I wanted to create something that I could leave out for a long time. Nothing seasonal related that I would have to replace in a few weeks. So no Valentine’s Day decor here!

Adding in Risers to the Tool Caddy

Only problem after I got the faux potted plants, was that they were kinda too short in the caddy.

You couldn’t really see their cute pots and only the tips of the greenery were sticking out. So I needed to find some risers to give them some height.

Materials Needed to create coffee table centerpiece
All the materials needed to come up with this easy coffee table centerpiece!

Although, I didn’t want to have to pay for a total of 6 different risers for the coffee table centerpiece.

I mean, that could get kinda pricey quickly. So I decided to look around my home and see what I had that would work.

And I found something! You know I have an abundance of Antique Candle Co. candles in my home. Mainly because I am obsessed with having my home smell good. And these candles are the best. But also, their candle lids make the perfect riser!

Candle lids in antique tool caddy
Candle lids make the perfect and free riser! Also, linking my rug below because it is a beautiful, neutral option for a living room in case you are looking for a good one too!

The best part is, it totally didn’t cost me anything. I just took the lids off of candles I wasn’t using, or weren’t burning and placed them inside each cubby hole.

Adding the Faux Plants to the Coffee Table Centerpiece

Once the risers were all in place, I just added the plants on top! I got a total of 3 faux azaleas and 3 faux bean potted plants. And then I just alternated them around in each cubby hole.

I didn’t want to get all 6 of the same plant because I wanted to create visual interest with a couple of different ones.

And that’s it! How easy and simple is that?! The perfect coffee table centerpiece that literally took me only a few minutes to create!

Do you like having a centerpiece on your coffee tables too? If so, what do you like to place there as a centerpiece? I would love to know!

We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove this weekend watching the pros play, soaking up the gorgeous mountain views, and just enjoying such a fun day together!

There’s something extra special about a golf weekend in Asheville, NC, especially when you get to experience a beautiful course like Walnut Cove and see professional golfers in action. And while I may not know everything happening on the course 😂, I can definitely appreciate the atmosphere, the views, and a good excuse for a fun weekend out!

Western North Carolina really does have some of the prettiest places. 🤍

It’s classic, creamy, comforting, and one of those recipes everyone keeps going back for another scoop of!

The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

But I think it turned out absolutely adorable! 🐈‍⬛🎃 This was such an easy and fun way to personalize inexpensive Halloween decor and make it look just like your own pet.
Now I need to know… would you paint one to look like your cat?! 👇🏻

🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!
