I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

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.

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark Week because obviously all the sharks are busy filming TV. 😂🦈

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂
