Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

📌 Save this Christmas tree decorating tip for when you start putting up your holiday decor!

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

There’s just something about vintage Christmas decor that makes my heart so happy! ❤️ These nostalgic Santa mugs are timeless, full of charm, and just so stinkin’ cute and jolly! 🎅🏻

And honestly, can you ever really have too many Santa mugs?! I think NOT! 😜

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
These might just be the CUTEST Halloween cookies e These might just be the CUTEST Halloween cookies ever! And the best part?! They’re SO easy to make! 🍪

If you’re looking for an easy Halloween cookie recipe that’s just as delicious as it is adorable, you NEED to try these soft and chewy Halloween Sprinkle Cookies! 

They’re buttery, perfectly sweet, loaded with festive Halloween sprinkles, and seriously so simple to whip up!

And unlike traditional Halloween sugar cookies, there’s NO rolling out dough, NO cookie cutters, and NO spending hours decorating with royal icing! 🙌🏻 Because as much as I love a beautifully decorated cookie, sometimes I just want something quick and easy that still looks cute! 🤣

These homemade Halloween cookies are perfect for:

🎃 Halloween parties and spooky celebrations

👻 Halloween dessert boards

🍪 Classroom parties and festive treats

🧡 Cozy Halloween movie nights at home

Plus, you can switch out the sprinkles for any holiday, making this one of those easy cookie recipes you’ll want to save and make all year long!

And did I mention they’re ready in about 25 minutes?! No chilling required! 👏🏻

Fall Home Tour 2022

I thought I better give y’all a fall home tour post, before I start tearing everything down and decorating for Christmas! Because, if you know me, then you know I love to start decorating early.

There’s just not enough time in the season to enjoy that magical glow, so I try to enjoy it as long as possible. But anyway, I wanted to let my fall home decor have a moment too. Because I really do love it as well!

All the rich, warm tones of fall makes my home just feel so cozy. And I haven’t done a fall home tour post since 2020, so I figured I’m a little overdue for one!

View into Kitchen

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Fall Front Porch

Starting off the fall home tour will be my front porch! Y’all know I absolutely love to decorate with mums and pumpkins. And this year was no different!

Fall Front Porch

I won’t go into too much detail here, because I shared all my tips and tricks for decorating a fall porch last year. And nothing much has changed since that!

Side View of Fall Front Porch Steps
Pumpkins Close Up
Pumpkins on Steps

I was surprised that my ferns from the summer and plants in my vintage crocks were still thriving while I was decorating the porch for fall. So I figured I could just leave them there and let them continue to shine!

Rocking Chairs on Front Porch
Easy Pumpkin Toprairies
Full View of Covered Fall Front Porch

I also still have my easy pumpkin topiaries still on display that I made last year too. They have held up really well for a cheap little fall craft project!

Fall Vintage Market Signs
Indian Corn on Fall Porch
Close Up of DIY Fall Vintage Market Signs

Another one of my DIY projects from last year, these vintage inspired market signs, are still a staple in my outdoor fall decor too. The corn one goes perfectly with my little Indian corn in my antique box as well!

Fall Living Room

Next up on the fall home tour is my living room with all the cozy fall accents! One of my favorite things in the living room is my easy fall centerpiece I have on our coffee table.

Fall Centerpiece on Coffee Table
I also love to look through Liz Marie Galvan’s Book, Cozy White Cottage Seasons, to get some seasonal decor ideas too!

I made that several years ago and still use it to this day because I just love the deep color of the amber bottles paired with the fall florals. It’s a perfect fall match!

Close Up of Fall Florals

I’ve also been using these fall floral stems in my vintage crock for a few years now too. They go perfectly in there and the good news is Amazon still carries them as well!

Fall Florals in Crock
Linking these pretty fall floral stems below:

You also may remember us installing our living room mantel last year too. And I love to be able to style it for all the different seasons now as well. Like for fall, I just placed a simple fall garland on top and love it!

Fall Mantle
I got this garland from Zulily, and I highly recommend looking there for cheaper seasonal decor!

Our little reading nooks in the living room are also all decked out for fall as well! You will probably recognize some of the old decor I’ve used before here too. I try to reuse as much as possible, but still like to add in a few things here and there.

Fall Reading Nook
Pumpkin Scroll
Linking one of my favorite floor lamps below. I like it so much, I got another one in a different color for my office!

Like the antique brass candlesticks and clock on the shelf are new this year and are from Liz Marie’s QVC line. And if you’ve been around here long enough, then you know I am obsessed with everything Liz Marie does (I was even lucky enough to meet her at Vintage Pickin’ before too!), so obviously I had to get some of her pieces!

Fall Entryway

Our fall entryway is technically in our living room too, but I figured it needed it’s own little moment here too. Especially since we did that whole entryway refresh earlier this year! I love filling my dough bowl up with pumpkins every year too!

Fall Entryway Table

It’s actually full of pumpkins that I painted myself several years ago too. I think that was one of my first DIY projects and back when I was just dipping my toe into the blogging world! We sure have came a long way since then!

Pumpkins in Dough Bowl

Fall Coffee Bar

Now, onto one of my very favorite places in my home, my coffee bar! You’ve seen it season after season before, and really I don’t keep it too much of the same. I try to add new things on it and again, keep some of the old items as well.

Fall Coffee Bar
Linking some of my coffee bar accessories below:

A new piece I added this year was the DIY Fall Cutting Board sign that I made a few months ago too. It’s the perfect little spot to display it!

Coffee Bar Fall Tiered Tray

I also have another area right across from my coffee bar where I keep all my coffee syrups. It also serves as a space to display more seasonal decor as well. Shocker, I know right?!

You can get the custom glass jars with the labels personalized too by clicking on the pictures below:

Fall Dining Room

Right next to my coffee bar area is my dining room. I kept my tablescape pretty much the same as last year’s fall tablescape. Although, I did change up the centerpiece with the DIY Mercury Glass pumpkins I made.

I also kept my dining room open shelves pretty simple with just a few fall touches here and there. Again, I used some amber bottles for some warmth and color. And some faux hops for some floral touches as well.

Fall Open Shelves

Cozy Fall Bedroom

Next up on the fall home tour is my cozy fall bedroom. I got all the pillows and throws last year from the Hearth and Hand line at Target.

Fall Pillows

I also always love to have a styled tray in the bedroom too. Although, I usually place it on the dresser and not the bed for obvious reasons. Just had to style it pretty for the photos though!

Fall Bedroom Tray
Bedroom Tray With Candle

But I always have a cozy fall candle from Antique Candle Co. burning and those cute faux maple leaves in the vase are the perfect little fall touches on the tray.

Fall Wreath on Window

I also switch out the mini wreaths on my antique 1920 windowpanes in the bedroom every season too. I typically use the traditional fall colors like pictured above and then will change it out to something with more of a pine vibe for Christmas.

Fall Guest Bedroom

Last on the fall home tour list is our guest bedroom. I always style the guest bedroom too because my brother will sometimes come over and stay a few nights with us throughout the year. So I like for the room to be seasonally appropriate and ready for that as well.

Fall Guest Bedroom Decor

My favorite piece in the guest bedroom is the vintage rocker in the corner that we got passed down to us. It has been in my husband’s side of the family for many years and I am so lucky to have it now!

Fall Guest Bedroom Corner
Fall Guest Bedroom Shelves
Fall Bedroom Antique Rocker
Linking these open shelves below, they come in several different finishes and are so fun to style for every season:

And last but not least in this room is my distressed mirror shelf that I styled for fall by simply placing a garland on top. I got the garland from Zulily, and this is the perfect place to find a variety of cheap garlands!

Fall Guest Bedroom Mirror

And remember my cute recycled wooden base with the terra cotta pots I got from The Nested Fig?! Well, I made it more seasonally appropriate by just placing a few white pumpkins on top!

Don’t forget, you can always use my coupon code, “Charity10”, to get 10% off anything at The Nested Fig too!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little Fall Home Tour of mine! And, you better get ready for a Christmas Home Tour coming up soon as well! I’m about to deck these halls and I can’t wait to show y’all!

    I so enjoyed your fall tour! It is hard to choose just one area or piece I loved most. I agree with you, I am a HUGE fan of Liz Marie. Her story is one I hold near and dear to my heart and is why I began following her. Pictures drew me in, but her story made me stay. Your fall shelves had me eyeing them for a closer look, I see several pieces I’d love to collect! Thank you for sharing!

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

📌 Save this Christmas tree decorating tip for when you start putting up your holiday decor!

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂

POV: You love flocked Christmas trees… until it lo POV: You love flocked Christmas trees… until it looks like a snowstorm hit the inside of your house. 🤣❄️🎄

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

POV: Someone asks what my Halloween plans are… Um POV: Someone asks what my Halloween plans are…

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
