If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, th If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, these spooky cute ghost plant markers are the perfect project! 👻🖤

I made these using my @glowforge machine, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out! Once they were cut, all they needed was a quick coat of white spray paint, and they were ready to decorate my fall planters.

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

Who else is already counting down the days until it’s time to decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻

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? 🏖️👇

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”? 😂

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

Before heading to Myrtle Beach, we made a stop in Charleston, and honestly… I wish we could’ve stayed longer! There’s just something so magical about this city, from the historic streets and colorful homes to one of the best food scenes in the South.

If you’re planning a Charleston weekend trip, these two restaurants are absolutely worth adding to your itinerary:
🤍 Dinner at @82queenchs (the blackened flounder was incredible!)
🤍 Brunch at @poogansporchchs (an absolute Charleston must!)
🤍 Stay at @millshousehotel (such a dreamy and gorgeous boutique hotel!)

I’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to be complicated. 🍂🕯️

One of my favorite fall decorating tips is to simply shop my own home first! I gather a few cozy pieces I already own, add a small pumpkin or seasonal accent, and always finish the look with one (or two 😉) Antique Candle Co. candles. Nothing makes a home feel more like cozy fall decor than the warm glow of candlelight and the scent of crisp autumn mornings.

If you’ve been looking for easy fall tray styling ideas or simple ways to make your home feel warm and inviting, this is such an effortless place to start. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful, cozy space.

🍁 Antique Candle Co.‘s new fall candle testers are available now, so it’s the perfect way to discover your favorite fall scents before committing to a full-size candle!

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had t Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had their pinky toenail almost completely fall off for absolutely no reason?

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail

Easy Kitchen Patriotic Decor Ideas You’ll Love

Y’all know me and know that I love to decorate every space of my home seasonally. And the Fourth of July is no exception! I love to fill my home up with patriotic colors, even my kitchen! So I thought today I would share with you all some easy patriotic kitchen decor ideas! 

You don’t have to go all out, a few little touches here and there’s perfect! I will be sharing easy ways to add in patriotic home decor, specifically in your kitchen. Which I know the kitchen is sometimes an overlooked spot when it comes to holiday or seasonal decor. But let’s change that with these easy and simple ideas! 

Easy Patriotic Kitchen Decor Ideas

This post contains affiliate links which means I could make a small commission and no additional cost to you. Click here to read my privacy policy. 

Patriotic Tiered Trays

One of my favorite, and the most easiest, way to display decor for patriotic holidays is to use a tiered tray! I shared more about that in my post on adding small, seasonal touches to your tiered tray. That post is geared more towards fall decor, but all the info and tips I shared can easily be applied here too.

Patriotic Tiered Tray in Kitchen

Tiered trays are perfect to display little knick knacks, like a small American flag, or any other small red, white, and blue piece. They don’t take up too much room, and they can easily be transitioned into the next season as well.

Patriotic Kitchen Tiered Tray

I went shopping in Hobby Lobby the other day, and they had plenty of small pieces with red, white, and blue colors on them that are perfect for a tiered tray. Plus, they were super inexpensive too!

July Fourth Themed Tiered Tray on Coffee Bar

So even if you have a small kitchen or space, a tiered tray would be a perfect option to display some easy patriotic kitchen decor! And really, if you don’t want to do too much this season, a tiered tray is all you need to make a statement! 

Patriotic Kitchen Towels

Here is another super easy patriotic kitchen decor idea! Just add in some machine washable patriotic towels in your kitchen! Hang them off of the dishwasher handle, oven handle, etc. Or showcase them draped over a tray and/or a shelf!

The possibilities are endless and this is a very cheap way to add in a red, white, and blue theme to your kitchen! Get one with a USA flag on it, or one with just some patriotic colors to it, and you’re all set!

Patriotic Kitchen Towel

I have one that has fireworks on it hanging off of our dishwasher. And another one that has stars on it, draping over the dining room shelves. Our kitchen is completely open, so the dining room is right next to it. Which I consider to still be kitchen decor!

Vintage Red, White, and Blue Open Shelves

Just as I mentioned above, I love to style our dining room shelves in patriotic colors as well. And one of my favorite ways to do this is to add in some vintage pieces. I love to look for old pieces that contain the red, white, and blue colors.

Even if they are considered “patriotic” or “Americana” pieces, as long as they have the right colors to them, I will use them! Such as that vintage potato chip tin on top. It has the perfect colors for the patriotic holidays to it!

Vintage Patriotic Open Shelves

I also love to use a lot of vintage red pieces because you can get double usage out of that. You can use them for both the Fourth of July as well as Christmastime too! 

I also just add in a few little patriotic touches to my already existing vintage pieces on my shelf too. Such as adding red, white, and blue stems into my vintage ironstone pitcher, or red paper straws into my vintage English advertising jars. Both are cheap and inexpensive ways to decorate your kitchen with patriotic decor!

Stars in Dough Bowl

Patriotic Candles 

Another fun idea I added to my kitchen patriotic decor this year were candles. And you may not think of candles being patriotic, but my favorite candle company, Antique Candle Co., offers unique candles that are hand poured into vintage vessels. 

Patriotic Antique Candle
Kitten Smelling Candle
Even Miss Riley Enjoys Antique Candles!
Patriotic Candle Burning

I was able to snag some that were perfect patriotic! With free shipping too! One is in an old crock and has The United States of America Seal on it, and the others are vintage red ironstone pieces. And as I mentioned above, these red ironstone pieces will be perfect for reusing them as Christmas decor in the future! 

Patriotic Vintage Candles

​Antique Candle Co. often restocks their antique candles, so definitely be on the lookout for that if you want to snag some cool pieces like this! They also make for a great gift too, and you can use my code “MACEDONIA10” to get an additional 10% off your candles as well. You just can’t beat that! 

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

I’m ending this patriotic kitchen decor ideas post with one of my absolute favorite areas to decorate in my home- my coffee bar! If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know I decorate my coffee bar every season and love to switch things up! 

Side View of Patriotic Coffee Bar in Kitchen

So of course I had to create a vintage patriotic coffee bar this year too! I absolutely love the antique campfire marshmallow and Cracker Jack tins, how perfect for summer are they?! And all my Rae Dunn July Fourth themed mugs are perfect to display on the hooks. 

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

I keep adding to my collection year after year when it comes to patriotic decor, so even though I decorate each year, it always turns out different. Which I love! 

Close Up of Coffee Bar Decor

I hope these easy patriotic kitchen decor ideas I have used in my own home, gives you a little inspiration to decorate yours too!  You don’t have to do as much as I do!

Americana Coffee Bar Decor

You can do as much or as little as you want. I am just here to give you all the inspiration and ideas that I possibly can! And be sure to check out all my other patriotic home decor ideas I have to share as well!

Pin for later!

🤍 Dinner at @82queenchs (the blackened flounder was incredible!)
🤍 Brunch at @poogansporchchs (an absolute Charleston must!)
🤍 Stay at @millshousehotel (such a dreamy and gorgeous boutique hotel!)

Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ber months?! 🍂 September, October, November, and December are hands-down my favorite time of year!

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer… but I wouldn’t complain if it was about 15 degrees cooler instead of feeling like we’re melting every day. 😂

I’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Who’s already counting down to fall 2026 with me? 🍁👇 Are you team summer or team ’ber months?

Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute o Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute outfits, I have to make sure every medication, supplement, electrolyte packet, and “just in case” item makes it into my bag. Then I mentally go through my checklist about 50 times before we leave because forgetting one thing could completely change the trip.

Traveling with a chronic illness definitely takes a little more planning, but it’s worth it to make the memories. 💛

Now if only I could get a vacation from all the vacation packing. 😂

Anyone else with a chronic illness feel like packing is the most stressful part of traveling? ✈️💊 Let me know I’m not alone!

Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to be complicated. 🍂🕯️

One of my favorite fall decorating tips is to simply shop my own home first! I gather a few cozy pieces I already own, add a small pumpkin or seasonal accent, and always finish the look with one (or two 😉) Antique Candle Co. candles. Nothing makes a home feel more like cozy fall decor than the warm glow of candlelight and the scent of crisp autumn mornings.

If you’ve been looking for easy fall tray styling ideas or simple ways to make your home feel warm and inviting, this is such an effortless place to start. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful, cozy space.

🍁 Antique Candle Co.‘s new fall candle testers are available now, so it’s the perfect way to discover your favorite fall scents before committing to a full-size candle!

Comment “CANDLES” below and I’ll send you the link! 🧡 And you better hurry, you only have until July 28th to get these fall candle testers ordered and then they are gone forever! 

Save this post for your fall decorating inspiration and tag a friend who’s already counting down the days until cozy season! 🍂

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would they say about you? 😂🐈 The tea they could spill would probably be wild! Would they call you the best cat parent ever… or expose all your embarrassing habits? 😹

I’m hoping my cats have mostly good things to say because I may have slightly bribed them this year with a cozy heated cat bed from @kneadcats 🤭 If there’s one way to earn the title of “favorite human,” it’s giving your spoiled indoor cats the warmest nap spot in the house!

Tell me… would your cat hype you up or totally roast you?👇🏻 If you don’t think so, use my code “MACEDONIA” to get $10 off a cat bed for your furry friend too! 😻

POV: Your husband suddenly becomes a golf coach af POV: Your husband suddenly becomes a golf coach after playing a few rounds… 😂⛳️

My husband has been really into golf lately, which apparently means it’s now his mission to teach me how to play. The only problem? I’m not totally convinced he’s qualified for the job. 🤣

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Tell me… is your spouse always trying to teach you their favorite hobby too, or is it just mine? ⛳️😂

Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had t Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had their pinky toenail almost completely fall off for absolutely no reason?

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail
