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. ❤️

There’s just something about soaking up a little vitamin D, listening to the water, and completely slowing down for a few hours. And let’s not forget the elite summer activity: the post-lunch poolside nap. 😂

These are the simple summer moments I look forward to all year long, and honestly, I wish every Friday could look like this!

Are you team pool day, beach day, or lake day? ☀️

Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage me Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage membership for my birthday, and honestly, it has been one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain and everyday stress, I count down the days until my next appointment!

Sure, it’s not a permanent fix, but even a little relief can make a huge difference. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less tense, and ready to take on life again (or at least survive another work week 😜).

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress, you know how amazing that post-massage feeling is!

So tell me… are you a massage person too, or do you prefer other self-care treatments? 👇

After all the money we’ve spent on raised garden beds, soil, plants, fertilizer, and supplies, this little pepper is basically worth its weight in gold! 😂 But honestly, there’s nothing more rewarding than walking outside and harvesting fresh vegetables from your own backyard garden.

And let me tell you… this pepper was DELICIOUS! 🙌 Now I’m anxiously waiting for our cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes to really start producing. There’s just something so exciting about watching a vegetable garden grow and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

Who else is gardening this year? 🌱 What are you growing, and what’s been your biggest success so far? Drop your garden updates below because I love seeing what everyone is growing! 👇🍅🥒🌶️

Apparently, if I had actually read the product description, I would have known that. But who has time for details when you’re busy adding things to your cart? 😂

After a LOT of fluffing, shaping, and styling, though, these faux hanging ferns turned out so good! I love using artificial hanging baskets on our porch because they’re completely low-maintenance, stay green year-round, and don’t require me to climb a ladder every few days to water them. As someone who’s vertically challenged, that’s a major win. 🤣

If you’re looking for realistic faux outdoor plants, easy porch decorating ideas, or low-maintenance outdoor decor, I highly recommend giving these a try!

There’s just something special about slowing down, enjoying some good old-fashioned porch sitting, and taking in the sights and sounds of summer. Anyone else spending time outside today?

I’m especially excited that we finally got our flower beds refreshed and ready for the season! 🌸🐦 The colorful blooms have already started attracting hummingbirds, and watching them dart around the flowers from inside the house each morning has quickly become one of my favorite parts of the day.

Between the front porch decor, blooming flowers, and warm summer sunshine, home feels extra sweet right now. ❤️

Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday filled with sunshine, fresh air, and a little time to enjoy the simple things. #sundaystills #flowerbed #flowerbeds #porchdecor #porchsitting

Maybe it’s my socially awkward, overthinking brain. Maybe it’s because I spend 99% of my free time at home and have fully embraced my introvert era. Or maybe it’s the fact that every time I meet someone new, I replay the entire conversation in my head for the next 3-5 business days. 🤣

And while I’ve never been officially diagnosed as neurodivergent, let’s just say some of those traits hit a little too close to home. 🧠😂

So if you’re also navigating social anxiety, an expired social battery, awkward small talk, and the challenge of making friends as an adult... welcome. You’re my people.

At least in my head, I’m the life of the party. 🎉🤣 #neurodivergent #neurodivergentsupport #socialanxietymemes #adultfriendships #socialbattery
POV: You survived your first full week back at wor POV: You survived your first full week back at work after endometriosis excision surgery… and this is what recovery really looks like. 😂

I officially made it through my first full week back to work after a month-long surgery leave, and whew… the post-op fatigue is NO joke.

Every evening has looked pretty much the same: clock out, soak my aching body in a scorching hot bath, grab my heating pad, put on my weighted eye mask, and immediately take a cat nap before I can even think about making dinner or doing anything around the house. 😴

I knew recovering from endometriosis excision surgery would take time, but I didn’t expect the exhaustion to hit this hard after returning to work. My body is definitely reminding me that healing isn’t always a straight line.

Right now, this little recovery routine is getting me through:
💛 Hot bath
💛 Heating pad on full blast
💛 Weighted eye mask (shoutout to @nodpodofficial) 
💛 Emergency evening nap

Thankfully, it’s finally the weekend, and I can focus on resting and recharging before doing it all over again next week.

If you’ve had endometriosis excision surgery, how long did the fatigue last for you after returning to work? Please tell me this part doesn’t last forever! 😂👇

Easy Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas

You know I love to decorate for every season and holiday. But since Valentine’s Day is so short, I didn’t want to over do it. So I thought it would be fun to show you guys how I dressed a few of my spaces up by adding just a few, simple Valentine’s Day decor touches here and there. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it inspires you to add little Valentine’s Day pops in your home as well!

Valentine's Tiered Tray
You see that sweet, hand-embroidered tea towel underneath my sweets canister? My great-great grandmother stitched that and my Meme gifted it to me last year for my birthday! It’s so perfect for me since I love vintage things and I am cat obsessed as well!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here for my disclosure policy.

Valentine’s Day Coffee Bar

My favorite space to decorate for every season is hands down my coffee bar! It is so much fun to switch up and I am the kind of person that gets tired of looking at the same thing over and over again so I like to be able switch my decor up.

So this space is perfect for me and it helps me be as creative as I want.

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You can also see how I keep my Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummies on my coffee bar. That way I am reminded to take them daily, and they match my decor too! Plus, you can still use my code “morningsonmacedonia” to try them out and save 10%!

For Valentine’s Day, I decided to showcase a few of my Valentine’s Rae Dunn mugs and add little touches of pink and red all over.

You know I also love to mix old and new pieces together, so adding in those old vintage pink thermoses on top was a fun touch as well! Having a coffee bar is a really easy way to add in some Valentine’s Day decor to your home.

Close up of Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You may also recognize that gum ball machine on top! I refreshed one from Target last year with some spray paint to make it more my style and now it matches perfectly with my Valentine’s Day decor!

Another cheap and easy thing I like to add are some fun paper straws. I added some pink ones in my mugs and again, this pastel pink color can easily flow into Spring decor too.

I try to be resourceful when picking out my decor and I like for things to be able to last through different seasons and/or holidays.

25 off plus free mug

Tiered Trays

Another thing I love to style for every season are my tiered trays! They are also a lot of fun to decorate and I like being able to add little touches of whatever season I want to display to them.

You can keep the overall look of your tiered tray from season to season too. Just add in a few Valentine’s Day decor touches and you’re all set!

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar Tiered Tray

You can see below how I just added in a few touches to make this tiered tray appear more Valentine’s Day related.

Like the felt hearts in the ironstone bowl. And the little heart sign and bowls as well.

Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray
Close up of Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray

And again down here on this tiered tray, I added in both old and new pieces too. I think the star of the show on this one is the vintage cookie cutter box!

I just love the old graphics to it!

Tablescape

I always enjoy switching up my table decor for every season and I am loving my Valentine’s themed tablescape. I honestly want to leave it out after Valentine’s Day because it just gives me all the cozy, romantic vibes!

Valentine's Day Tablescape

If you remember my last year and how I made a simple paper heart banner, I had some leftover paper hearts already cut out and I decided to use them for my tablescape.

The paper hearts are a perfect, romantic addition to the place settings and centerpiece.

Valentine's Day Tablescape

I am loving the light blush touches it gives to my table. And plus, I plan on using this same tablescape throughout the spring as well, minus the hearts.

I think the blush color is very versatile! 

Valentine's Day Tablescape

As usual, I am using my vintage ironstone dishes and saucers for this tablescape. I just love how dainty they are. But, I added something new this year to my Valentine’s Day table decor.

You know my love for Antique Candle Co, and I love the fact that they pour their candles into vintage dishes as well. So throughout the past year, I have been collecting vintage pink depression glasses from them.

Valentine's Day Centerpiece

I thought it would look perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also throughout the spring as well! The soft pink color is just so beautiful!

Valentine’s Mug Cubby

I have an unhealthy obsession with coffee mugs so I obviously need several spaces throughout my kitchen and dining room to display them! And this mug cubby is one of my favorites!

It fits several of my Rae Dunn mugs in it perfectly and I like being able to have another space besides my coffee bar to display all of my seasonal mugs in.

Valentine's Day Mug Cubby

I also stuck with the Valentine’s theme here and I even added some extra little hearts for more of a Valentine’s Day touch.

These hearts were actually strung together in a banner that I got from the Target Dollar Spot last year, but they broke apart on me. Not wanting to throw these cute little hearts away, I was determined to find a good use for them.

Luckily, they had a little clothespin attached to the back so I thought it would be perfect to clip them on my mugs to give them a cute little red and pink pop of color!

I also added some greenery here as well to break apart the mugs.

Vintage Valentine Day Cards

You know I love all things vintage. So I love to display some of my vintage valentine’s day cards in creative ways. For example, I created a vintage Valentines banner to hang on my hutch.

Easy Vintage Valentine's Day Banner

I also love to display them on my open shelves in the dining room as well. I found a few vintage inspired valentines from Hobby Lobby and mixed them with some real ones as well.

You can even tell the difference from the newer cards and the older ones!

Valentine's Day Open Shelving

Another easy idea for vintage Valentine’s Day decor, is to just place one on a flower frog. I did that in my office and on the shelves you see above.

I have several flower frogs and use them all the time to display old cards like this throughout the different seasons.

Conclusion

Well, I hope after you see these spaces of mine that I have fixed up for Valentine’s Day, that it inspires you to do a little something to your home as well!

I mainly just decorated my kitchen and dining room area for Valentine’s, but there are so many other ideas that you could do around your home too.

Valentine's Day Dining Room

Like a simple little banner hanging across your mantel, or a cute accent pillow in your bedroom. Have a Valentine’s themed candle burning in your living room or a blush colored throw draped across your sofa.

As you can see the possibilities are endless and you can find so many easy ways to add in a little Valentine’s without overdoing it.

Neutral Valentine's Day Decor
I also added a little neutral touch of Valentine’s Day on my entryway table by adding in these cute and simple wooden hearts in my lantern.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day this year! And tell me below if you normally decorate a little for Valentine’s Day or not too!

Pin for later!

    Ooooh! Tiered trays! I have an old low bureau that serves as a coffee table and it gets changed up regularly… different seasonal table runners, knick knacks and plants, mugs and baskets. A tiered tray would be fun. My other fun thing… and I love some of the little things that say love you, etc – is to tuck those little things in surprise places for my kids to see… Like small plaque inside the medicine cabinet when they get out the toothpaste, or on their night stands, or in the fridge.

    I love how just a few quick swaps can make a theme come through – a scatter cushion, some sweet plates etc. I am so going out there for V day this year!

    Valentine’s day sure is a short holiday, but it’s still a beautiful day to celebrate love in general. And now that I went back to the dating game and found the sweetest man I’ve ever met after a very bad heartbreak two years ago, I have every reason to celebrate it❤️Starting with presents and my appartment!

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. ❤️

Do your pets have a special adoption story too? Share it below! ⬇️🐾

There’s just something about soaking up a little vitamin D, listening to the water, and completely slowing down for a few hours. And let’s not forget the elite summer activity: the post-lunch poolside nap. 😂

These are the simple summer moments I look forward to all year long, and honestly, I wish every Friday could look like this!

Are you team pool day, beach day, or lake day? ☀️

Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage me Last year, my hubby gifted me a monthly massage membership for my birthday, and honestly, it has been one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain and everyday stress, I count down the days until my next appointment!

Sure, it’s not a permanent fix, but even a little relief can make a huge difference. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less tense, and ready to take on life again (or at least survive another work week 😜).

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress, you know how amazing that post-massage feeling is!

So tell me… are you a massage person too, or do you prefer other self-care treatments? 👇

I proudly present… the most expensive homegrown pe I proudly present… the most expensive homegrown pepper we’ve ever grown. 🌶️🤣

After all the money we’ve spent on raised garden beds, soil, plants, fertilizer, and supplies, this little pepper is basically worth its weight in gold! 😂 But honestly, there’s nothing more rewarding than walking outside and harvesting fresh vegetables from your own backyard garden.

And let me tell you… this pepper was DELICIOUS! 🙌 Now I’m anxiously waiting for our cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes to really start producing. There’s just something so exciting about watching a vegetable garden grow and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

Who else is gardening this year? 🌱 What are you growing, and what’s been your biggest success so far? Drop your garden updates below because I love seeing what everyone is growing! 👇🍅🥒🌶️

Apparently, if I had actually read the product description, I would have known that. But who has time for details when you’re busy adding things to your cart? 😂

After a LOT of fluffing, shaping, and styling, though, these faux hanging ferns turned out so good! I love using artificial hanging baskets on our porch because they’re completely low-maintenance, stay green year-round, and don’t require me to climb a ladder every few days to water them. As someone who’s vertically challenged, that’s a major win. 🤣

If you’re looking for realistic faux outdoor plants, easy porch decorating ideas, or low-maintenance outdoor decor, I highly recommend giving these a try!

Would you choose real plants or faux plants for your porch? 🌿👇

Can we talk about how exhausting working with the Can we talk about how exhausting working with the public can be? Some days I’m convinced my true calling is being a remote work, stay-at-home employee with minimal social interaction because nothing drains my social battery faster. 😅

But here we are, another workday, another dollar, and we’re just gonna power through and get it done. 💪

Anyone else feel completely wiped out after talking to people all day, or is that just my introvert/neurodivergent brain? 🤪 #workhumor #workingwiththepublic #officehumor #relatablecontent #funnyworkmemes
Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️Sharing a few cozy Sunday Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️Sharing a few cozy Sunday stills of our front porch today because I’m absolutely soaking up this beautiful weather. There’s just something special about slowing down, enjoying some good old-fashioned porch sitting, and taking in the sights and sounds of summer. Anyone else spending time outside today?

I’m especially excited that we finally got our flower beds refreshed and ready for the season! 🌸🐦 The colorful blooms have already started attracting hummingbirds, and watching them dart around the flowers from inside the house each morning has quickly become one of my favorite parts of the day.

Between the front porch decor, blooming flowers, and warm summer sunshine, home feels extra sweet right now. ❤️

Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday filled with sunshine, fresh air, and a little time to enjoy the simple things. #sundaystills #flowerbed #flowerbeds #porchdecor #porchsitting
But can we talk about how hard it is to make frien But can we talk about how hard it is to make friends in your 30s?! Is anyone else struggling with adult friendships, or is it just me?

Maybe it’s my socially awkward, overthinking brain. Maybe it’s because I spend 99% of my free time at home and have fully embraced my introvert era. Or maybe it’s the fact that every time I meet someone new, I replay the entire conversation in my head for the next 3-5 business days. 🤣

And while I’ve never been officially diagnosed as neurodivergent, let’s just say some of those traits hit a little too close to home. 🧠😂

So if you’re also navigating social anxiety, an expired social battery, awkward small talk, and the challenge of making friends as an adult... welcome. You’re my people.

At least in my head, I’m the life of the party. 🎉🤣 #neurodivergent #neurodivergentsupport #socialanxietymemes #adultfriendships #socialbattery
POV: You survived your first full week back at wor POV: You survived your first full week back at work after endometriosis excision surgery… and this is what recovery really looks like. 😂

I officially made it through my first full week back to work after a month-long surgery leave, and whew… the post-op fatigue is NO joke.

Every evening has looked pretty much the same: clock out, soak my aching body in a scorching hot bath, grab my heating pad, put on my weighted eye mask, and immediately take a cat nap before I can even think about making dinner or doing anything around the house. 😴

I knew recovering from endometriosis excision surgery would take time, but I didn’t expect the exhaustion to hit this hard after returning to work. My body is definitely reminding me that healing isn’t always a straight line.

Right now, this little recovery routine is getting me through:
💛 Hot bath
💛 Heating pad on full blast
💛 Weighted eye mask (shoutout to @nodpodofficial) 
💛 Emergency evening nap

Thankfully, it’s finally the weekend, and I can focus on resting and recharging before doing it all over again next week.

If you’ve had endometriosis excision surgery, how long did the fatigue last for you after returning to work? Please tell me this part doesn’t last forever! 😂👇
