But seriously though, one sip and you’ll see why this cozy fall drink is a fan favorite. Made with warm apple cider, cinnamon, caramel, and whipped cream, it tastes like autumn in a cup, and the best part? There’s no coffee, so it’s perfect for kids and anyone who isn’t a coffee drinker!

Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying o Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying out by the pool or at the beach trying to read a good book? 😅

No matter what style, brand, or pair of sunglasses I buy, they ALWAYS slide down my nose the second I lay on my stomach. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried expensive ones, cheap ones, trendy ones—you name it. Same result every time!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Easy Easter Decoration Ideas To Make

I just came up with 3 of the easiest Easter decoration ideas to make this year! Even if you aren’t a super crafty person, these are all something you could easily make as well. They call for minimal supplies, most of which I am sure you already have on hand. And literally only took an afternoon or so to accomplish.

Whether you’re looking for Easter decoration ideas for your table, tiered tray, open shelves, or more, I have plenty of ideas for you. And, you can always expand on these ideas I share and create them even more in your own flair.

If you’re a fan of seasonal DIY decorations, like I am, then you are going to love this post! And some of these would also be a fun craft to make with young children, with parental supervision of course!

Keep on reading below for all my detailed instructions to each Easter craft. That way you can easily make your own Easter decor this year too!

Faux Chocolate Bunny

Now, this one is a super easy Easter decoration idea! You only need two materials to make it. That’s it! How easy is that? I found a few bunnies in the Target Dollar Spot this year and thought I could create some kind of easy Easter craft with them.

I found a larger Easter bunny and then a set of three smaller Easter bunnies. These were meant to hang off a pot or plant. Which is a super cute idea, although it is still so chilly here, I haven’t planted anything yet.

Bunny Before Spray Painting

So then I decided I should make some faux chocolate bunnies with them instead! And since the bunnies were in the dollar section, the most expensive part of this project was the spray paint and that was only like $6. Which means this is a very cost effect Easter decoration idea to make!

Bonus points if you already have your own older bunnies that you want to spruce up with this idea too!

Target Dollar Spot Bunnies

Materials Needed For Faux Chocolate Bunnies:

Ceramic/Concrete/Wood Bunnies

Spray Paint (I used Rust-O-Luem Satin Espresso for this project)

Spray Paint Used for Faux Chocolate Bunny
Linking a shopping list for you below for this project:

How To Make A Fake Chocolate Bunny

I just flattened out a piece of cardboard and went straight outside with all my materials. I then placed the bunnies on the cardboard and went to town spraying them down with the spray paint. It did take a few coats, especially going around the bunny’s ears and faces.

Spray Painting Bunny

I would let them dry for about an hour and then rotate them around to see where I missed with the spray paint. After a few touch ups, I let them dry completely. And then the final result is a shiny, faux chocolate Easter bunny! It looks good enough to eat!

Spray Painting Little Bunnies

Seriously though, the bigger Easter bunny is like the exact same size as a Lindt Gold Chocolate Easter Bunny. My mom used to give one of those every Easter in my Easter basket so I love the fact that it reminds me of that. One of my favorite Easter memories for sure! Although, it doesn’t really help out my sweet tooth cravings though! Oh well, this craft made for some adorable bunnies, that’s for sure!

Vintage Clothespin Carrots

If you’re looking for more vintage Easter decorating ideas, then this craft is made for you! Y’all know I love me some good vintage holiday decor, and Easter is no exception to that! And I already had a handful of vintage clothespins laying around too.

So even better that I didn’t have to buy any for this project! On top of the clothespins, you only need a handful of other materials to make these carrots with as well.

I only made two because I wasn’t exactly sure where I wanted to put them just yet. However, you could make as much or as little as you wanted to for this easy Easter decoration idea as well!

Vintage Clothespin Carrot Materials

Materials Needed For Vintage Clothespin Carrots:

Vintage Clothespins

Orange Acrylic Paint

Hot Glue Gun

Hot Glue Sticks

Jute String

Faux Greenery Pick (For the Carrot Top!)

Materials Needed for Vintage Clothespin Carrots
Linking a shopping list for you below for this easy craft:

How To Make Carrots Out Of Clothespins

The first step is to paint the clothespins. I just got some cheap acrylic paint in orange and painted them with that. Here’s a tip, put some disposal gloves on while painting them. That way, you don’t get it all over your hands when trying to move the clothespin around to paint.

Painting the Clothespins

If you wanted to go back and dry brush some white paint on them for more of a distressed, aged look, you definitely could do that as well. I thought about doing that too, but I was going for the easiest way to make these beautiful decorations, so I skipped that part!

I did a couple of coats and then let them dry completely in between. Once they were completely dry, I stared cutting up the faux greenery pick into smaller pieces. You want enough to be able to use for the carrot top greenery. Then, I used my glue gun to add little dabs of hot glue to the clothespin tops.

Making Vintage Clothespin Carrots

I added pieces of the greenery I just cut up to the dab of glue and held it in place until it was firmly attached. I repeated this process until the top was full of greenery and looked like carrot leaves sprouting from the carrot.

The finishing touch was to tie a pieces of jute string into a bow around the clothespin. I just did this to hide the metal wire that was already wrapped around the clothespin. But, it also made for a great focal point for the vintage clothespin carrots too!

Again, this was another great craft to make for Easter that is both cost effective and easy! And the possibilities are endless as to where to use these carrots too! The best Easter decorations are always versatile like this, that way you have plenty of options to decorate with!

Finished Vintage Clothespin Carrots

Yarn-Wrapped Carrots

This one may be my favorite Easter decoration idea to make! It’s super easy, but it made a huge difference! If you like the more neutral farmhouse Easter vibe, then you will definitely love this one!

I found these cute orange and white checkered carrots from Hobby Lobby this year. And while they are super cute, I just wasn’t feeling the bright orange color to them. So I thought, why not wrap them up in some yarn for a more neutral look. And boy, did that do the trick!

You could easily find some cheap carrots at your local Dollar Tree as well to keep this project even more cost effective!

Easy Easter Crafting

Materials Needed for Yarn-Wrapped Carrots:

Fabric Carrots

Yarn, I used Jute String

Hot Glue Gun

Hot Glue Sticks

Materials Needed for Yarn-Wrapped Carrots
Linking a shopping list for you below for this fun craft:

How Do You Make Carrots Out Of Yarn?

To start this Easter craft, I just applied a small dap of hot glue near the top of the carrot. Then, I placed the end of the jute string down on the hot glue and started wrapping the yarn completely around the carrot.

Wrapping the Carrots

Do this process slowly and carefully so you don’t get any big gaps when wrapping the carrot. Once I reached the end of the carrot, I applied another dab of hot glue and pushed the end of the string down into it.

Making the Yarn Wrapped Carrots
Hot Gluing Yarn-Wrapped Carrots

And that’s it! The entire project literally only took a few minutes to make! And you have the most adorable carrot from it!

Easy Easter Craft

You could put these yarn wrapped carrots into a small bowl for display or in your dining room like I did. For my Easter dinner table, I have this beautiful reclaimed wood piece with terra cotta pots on it.

Before Adding Yarn Wrapped Carrots
Easter Centerpiece

I decided to place each yarn wrapped carrot into the flower pots and then apply Spanish moss around it to give it a fuller look. And it definitely turned into a beautiful display for sure! I love the neutral, vintage vibe it brings to my table!

Enjoy Your Easter Crafts

Wherever you end of placing your Easter crafts, whether it be in Easter baskets for decor, or on display on your coffee table, they will look great there! There are so many possibilities to these versatile Easter decor ideas! I am sure you will find the perfect place in your home for each one.

    For a non-DIYer, like myself, I like how easy to make, and fun these decorations are! My favorite is the clothespin carrots- so creative and simple!

Just pretending it’s a crisp, cool fall day outsid Just pretending it’s a crisp, cool fall day outside with the breeze slightly blowing right now instead of it being 100 degrees outside! 🤣 

But seriously though, one sip and you’ll see why this cozy fall drink is a fan favorite. Made with warm apple cider, cinnamon, caramel, and whipped cream, it tastes like autumn in a cup, and the best part? There’s no coffee, so it’s perfect for kids and anyone who isn’t a coffee drinker!

I finally shared my easy Starbucks copycat Caramel Apple Spice recipe on the blog, and it’s so simple to make at home whenever those fall cravings hit. 🤎 Comment “Recipe” below and I’ll send it straight to you!

Have you ever tried a Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice before, or will this be your first time? Let me know below! 👇🏻 And don’t forget to save this recipe for cozy season and share it with your fellow fall lovers!

Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying o Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying out by the pool or at the beach trying to read a good book? 😅

No matter what style, brand, or pair of sunglasses I buy, they ALWAYS slide down my nose the second I lay on my stomach. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried expensive ones, cheap ones, trendy ones—you name it. Same result every time!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the secon Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the second the Fourth of July is over? 🍂😂

Don’t get me wrong, I still love summer, pool days, and sunshine. But there’s just something about fall that has my heart. The cozy vibes, cooler weather, pumpkin everything, fall candles, football Saturdays, and not melting the second you step outside? Yes, please! 🤎🍁

I hope y’all had the best Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 We had the sweetest, low-key Independence Day celebrating at home, and honestly… it was one of my favorite holidays yet.
