Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

After my endometriosis excision surgery, I treated myself to a special little gift from Kendra Scott. Using their Color Bar, I created a custom yellow necklace because yellow is the official color of Endometriosis Awareness.

This necklace is more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to keep going on the hard days. To keep sharing my journey with endometriosis, chronic illness, chronic fatigue, and all the invisible struggles that so many women face every day.

If you’ve been following along, you know that surgery hasn’t been the miracle fix I hoped for. I’m still navigating symptoms, fatigue, and recovery. Some days it’s hard to explain just how exhausting chronic illness can be unless you’ve lived it yourself.

But this necklace reminds me that my story matters. It reminds me to continue advocating for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more conversations around women’s health. It reminds me to be a voice for those who feel unheard and to keep fighting for a future where endometriosis is taken seriously.

One of the greatest blessings from sharing my journey online has been finding this incredible community. I’ve met so many amazing women who truly understand the challenges of living with endometriosis, POTS-like symptoms, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Knowing we’re not alone makes all the difference.

So thank you for continuing to listen, support, and learn alongside me. 💛 I promise to keep showing up, sharing my story, and spreading awareness for the millions of women living with endometriosis.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾

There’s just something magical about a peaceful po There’s just something magical about a peaceful pool day with nothing but sunshine, vitamin D, and complete silence. No crowds, no splashing, no screaming kids, just pure relaxation and summer vibes. 😂

Now, did this private pool moment last all day? Absolutely not. About an hour later reality showed up. But honestly, one hour of peace and quiet was all I needed. 🤣

Anyone else dream of having the whole pool to themselves, or is that just my introvert personality talking? 👀☀️

If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern Charm fan. Honestly, watching Bravo reality shows is one of my favorite hobbies, and Craig Conover has always been one of my favorite Bravolebrities! 😂

So when I found out there was a grand reopening event at @sewingdownsouth while we were in Charleston, South Carolina, there was absolutely no way I was missing it. But what made it even better? They were actually filming for Southern Charm while we were there!

As someone who visits Charleston every chance I get and has watched Southern Charm for years, this felt like a total bucket-list moment. So keep your eyes peeled for Season 12… you just might spot me somewhere in the background. 😜

But can we talk about Craig for a second? We’ve met him before, and he is genuinely one of the nicest people. He spends so much time talking with fans, taking photos, signing autographs, and making everyone feel welcome. In a world where celebrity interactions can be hit or miss, he is the real deal.

If you’re planning a Charleston trip, make sure to add Sewing Down South to your itinerary. Whether you’re a Southern Charm fan or just love shopping local, it’s such a fun stop in the heart of downtown Charleston!

Now tell me, who’s your favorite Southern Charm cast member? 👇 #southerncharm #craigconover #sewingdownsouth #realitytvshow #bravotv
Anyone else have facial expressions that give away Anyone else have facial expressions that give away EVERY thought in their head? 😂 Because I swear I can’t hide what I’m thinking to save my life. I may not say a word, but my face will tell the whole story anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Being overly expressive is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, people always know where they stand with me. On the other hand, it has definitely gotten me into trouble more than once! 🤣

Sometimes I think about Botox, but then I remember I’d probably lose my greatest talent: making faces when people are being ridiculous. 😜 It’s honestly a survival skill at this point.

Thank goodness I wear a mask at work because it hides at least some of my reactions! 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose facial expressions expose every emotion before they even say a word. Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your face is constantly spilling the tea!

If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

One of my favorite things about Cricut is how easy it makes it to bring creative ideas to life. Whether you’re making custom t-shirts, personalized gifts, home decor, or party projects, the possibilities are endless! And honestly? Making your own shirts is a little addictive once you get started. 😂

I love being able to create something unique that no one else has, and Cricut cuts make the whole process so simple and fun.

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. ❤️

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

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!

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

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! 😂👇

This first week back at work has been ROUGH, y’all. I miss being home with my fur babies more than anything. Honestly, I think my true calling in life is being a stay-at-home cat mom. 🐾

But unfortunately, someone has to pay for the treats, toys, fancy food, and all the other necessities required to maintain this luxury cat lifestyle. And that someone is me. 😅

The funniest part? I don’t even think little Miss Riley misses me. As long as the food bowl stays full and the treats keep coming, she’s perfectly content living her best life while I’m out here working my butt off. 🤣

Fall Home Tour

Since fall is officially creeping up on us, I thought it would be fun to show you all a complete fall home tour. I love to style my home for every season and I think fall and Christmas are my top two!

So if you’re looking for ideas and inspiration on how to style your home for fall, check this post out and let me know what you think!

Fall Centerpiece in Living Room
Here’s a glimpse into my fall living room!

Living Room

The first space I thought I would share with you all in my fall home tour is my living room. It just makes sense to start here since it is the very first room you see when you walk into my house!

I tried to make it feel super cozy and welcoming by adding in warm fall touches this year.

Easy Fall Centerpiece
Here’s a close up view of my fall centerpiece.

Remember my easy fall centerpiece I shared with you all a few weeks ago? I have it sitting here front and center in the middle of my coffee table in the living room.

It definitely is the perfect pop of fall color for this space. I love the warmth that the amber jars add to the room as well.

Fall Living Room Shelves
Close up view of my fall open shelves in the living room.

For my open shelves in the living room, I kept everything mostly the same. I just added a few touches of fall here and there.

That adorable plaid pumpkin and hello fall sign are Kirkland’s finds from last year.

Pumpkin Patch Scroll
Such an adorable scroll!

When I saw this scroll, I knew I needed to have it. I got this from Cottonwood Shanty and she makes the cutest scrolls. Whether you want a seasonal one, or an everyday one, she has you covered!

They also come in two different sizes and the one I got is the mini size. But it is so perfect for this space. I have it hanging right beside my front door.

Dried Hydrangeas

Of course you can’t forget about my dried hydrangea stems! I placed them in my vases on my antique railroad cart. I also keep my magazines stored in this vintage 7 Up crate too.

It’s such a great spot to sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy a good read!

Close Up of Fall Wreath
Fall Wreath on Window
Fall Wreath and Rae Dunn Mug

I also always love to hang a fall wreath on my big 12 pane window that I chalk painted and restored! It’s such an easy way to add a little bit of color and change for every season!

I try to change it up especially during the Fall and Winter months!

Fall Bedroom

Next up on my fall home tour is my master bedroom. I can’t leave the bedroom out from fall decor!

Just like at Christmas, I try to add seasonal touches in every single room that I can so the bedroom is no exception!

Fall Bedroom
I love to have white bedding so I can easily add pops of seasonal color by using throws and pillows!

I shared more in detail about styling a fall bedroom last year so I won’t take up too much time here.

I kept my bedding the same as last year, but just added in a few different seasonal pieces this year.

Fall Bedroom Tray
Tray styling is my jam! It’s so much fun to style seasonal trays in my opinion!

Y’all know I love my Modern Forestry candles too. And this fall they came out with some new scents too. Be sure to go check them out if you’re in need of some new candles.

I think having a fall candle burning in any room is the perfect fall home accessory! It just adds to the cozy vibe of the cooler season. You can’t beat it!

Fall Bedroom
I have to add pumpkins everywhere, even on the dresser!

Entryway Table

I can’t leave out my entryway table in my fall home tour. It’s technically in my living room, but I think it deserves it’s own spot here.

I have my dough bowl filled with pumpkins and I actually used that as a centerpiece for my Thanksgiving Tablescape last year. Although, I think it looks much better here on my entryway table!

Fall Entryway Table
I love the neutral fall vibes in this space!

I also used the pumpkins I made over in my easy fall decor refresh here. I placed them under my cloche from Antique Farmhouse and I think they look just perfect showcased there.

I also love how they are the same color scheme as everything else on the table too.

Painted Pumpkin Refresh
Here’s a close up of my cloche and pumpkins!

I originally wanted to fill my vintage crocks on the bottom of the table with pumpkins too, but due to cost I decided not to.

Maybe next year! Those crocks are huge so it would take a ton of pumpkins to fill them!

Dining Room

Attached to my living room and kitchen is my dining room, which is what is up next on my fall home tour! I also have my coffee bar here in my dining room as well.

But that deserves it’s own special section because I am obsessed with styling my coffee bar for the season!

Fall Dining Room
Here’s a full view of what my dining room looks like.

I will be sharing more in depth about my fall tablescape here soon so be sure to be on the lookout for that. I did it completely differently that how I normally do it, and I have to say I am loving the result.

I love all the vintage goodies tied together to create this look!

Fall Tablescape
Close up view of my tablescape.

Fall Themed Coffee Bar

Y’all know I always decorate my coffee bar no matter what the season is! but I would say that Fall and Christmas are my two very favorite seasons to decorate my coffee bar for.

There’s just so much potential and so many different things you can add to it. I love seeing how I change it up year after year too.

Fall Coffee Bar
The best place to start the day!

This year I was leaning more towards copper colors in my coffee bar. Whereas last year, I decked it all out in orange.

As you can see above, I still do have some orange pops of color here, but I do like to have more copper tones for a more neutral vibe.

Fall Themed Coffee Cart
Love all these coffee flavoring syrups!
Fall Tiered Tray
Close up of my tiered tray on my coffee cart.

This coffee cart area is located directly across from my coffee bar. I keep all of my flavoring syrups here (which I love!). I recently got the pumpkin spice flavored syrup and I am obsessed!

I can make me a pumpkin spice latte without having to go to Starbucks! How amazing is that?!

Fall Tiered Tray on Coffee Bar
Close up of my tiered tray on my coffee bar this year.

I also think styling my coffee bar and tiered trays for every season go hand and hand as well. I shared more in depth last year about how to style your tiered trays for fall.

Be sure to go give that post a look too if you’re stuck on how to style tiered trays. It definitely takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’s so much fun!

Fall Front Porch

I always love to add real pumpkins and mums on my front porch for fall. They are so pretty and I love the rich colors they bring out.

They always look so good on my front porch steps too. I think it is the perfect welcoming entryway into our fall home this year!

Fall Front Porch

I went way more out on my decorating for my fall front porch last year, but this year I decided to keep it more simple.

Plus, it was more cost effective to do it this way. Real pumpkins from the farmer’s market are expensive y’all! See my pictures below on how I decided to decorate the front porch this year:

Other Small Fall Touches Around the Home

I just tried to add in as many fall touches as I could around my home. Even in my office space! As you can see below, I added in a few faux pumpkins on my open shelves in my office too.

It’s so simple and easy to add in a few faux pumpkins here and there around the home too. Plus, it is also an easy, inexpensive way to incorporate fall touches too!

Fall Office Shelves
Can you spot a few pumpkins here?!

Call me crazy, but I may have even put a few pumpkins on my bathroom open shelves too. I wanted my fall home tour to include as many pumpkins as possible!

And the good news is, they were all leftover pumpkins from a few years ago so I didn’t really have to purchase anything to add those cute seasonal touches to the space.

I always love it when I can save some money, but still go all out with decorations for the season!

Fall Home Tour Wrap Up

Well y’all, this concludes my fall home tour! I hope you all enjoyed it and are inspired to add in a few little seasonal pieces in your home too!

Do you go all out like I do? Or do you tend to keep it more neutral and simple?

Sometimes I crave simplicity, but most of the time (especially during the fall and Christmas season) I like to go all out! Let me know what you do below too!

    Oh wow, I absolutely love all of the fall decor around your home. I like how some of it is more subtle while certain pieces stand out. Fall is my favorite season but I so rarely decorate for it. Though this year I did make a fall wreath for my front door. You have inspired me to put a few fall touches around the house.

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

After my endometriosis excision surgery, I treated myself to a special little gift from Kendra Scott. Using their Color Bar, I created a custom yellow necklace because yellow is the official color of Endometriosis Awareness.

This necklace is more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to keep going on the hard days. To keep sharing my journey with endometriosis, chronic illness, chronic fatigue, and all the invisible struggles that so many women face every day.

If you’ve been following along, you know that surgery hasn’t been the miracle fix I hoped for. I’m still navigating symptoms, fatigue, and recovery. Some days it’s hard to explain just how exhausting chronic illness can be unless you’ve lived it yourself.

But this necklace reminds me that my story matters. It reminds me to continue advocating for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more conversations around women’s health. It reminds me to be a voice for those who feel unheard and to keep fighting for a future where endometriosis is taken seriously.

One of the greatest blessings from sharing my journey online has been finding this incredible community. I’ve met so many amazing women who truly understand the challenges of living with endometriosis, POTS-like symptoms, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Knowing we’re not alone makes all the difference.

So thank you for continuing to listen, support, and learn alongside me. 💛 I promise to keep showing up, sharing my story, and spreading awareness for the millions of women living with endometriosis.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾

Now, did this private pool moment last all day? Absolutely not. About an hour later reality showed up. But honestly, one hour of peace and quiet was all I needed. 🤣

Anyone else dream of having the whole pool to themselves, or is that just my introvert personality talking? 👀☀️

If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern If you know me, then you know I’m a HUGE Southern Charm fan. Honestly, watching Bravo reality shows is one of my favorite hobbies, and Craig Conover has always been one of my favorite Bravolebrities! 😂

So when I found out there was a grand reopening event at @sewingdownsouth while we were in Charleston, South Carolina, there was absolutely no way I was missing it. But what made it even better? They were actually filming for Southern Charm while we were there!

As someone who visits Charleston every chance I get and has watched Southern Charm for years, this felt like a total bucket-list moment. So keep your eyes peeled for Season 12… you just might spot me somewhere in the background. 😜

But can we talk about Craig for a second? We’ve met him before, and he is genuinely one of the nicest people. He spends so much time talking with fans, taking photos, signing autographs, and making everyone feel welcome. In a world where celebrity interactions can be hit or miss, he is the real deal.

If you’re planning a Charleston trip, make sure to add Sewing Down South to your itinerary. Whether you’re a Southern Charm fan or just love shopping local, it’s such a fun stop in the heart of downtown Charleston!

Now tell me, who’s your favorite Southern Charm cast member? 👇 #southerncharm #craigconover #sewingdownsouth #realitytvshow #bravotv
Anyone else have facial expressions that give away Anyone else have facial expressions that give away EVERY thought in their head? 😂 Because I swear I can’t hide what I’m thinking to save my life. I may not say a word, but my face will tell the whole story anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Being overly expressive is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, people always know where they stand with me. On the other hand, it has definitely gotten me into trouble more than once! 🤣

Sometimes I think about Botox, but then I remember I’d probably lose my greatest talent: making faces when people are being ridiculous. 😜 It’s honestly a survival skill at this point.

Thank goodness I wear a mask at work because it hides at least some of my reactions! 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose facial expressions expose every emotion before they even say a word. Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your face is constantly spilling the tea!

If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

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. ❤️

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!

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! 😂👇

POV: You had a rough day at work, but then you rem POV: You had a rough day at work, but then you remember you’re funding your cat’s luxury lifestyle. 😹

Whenever I have a bad day at work, I remind myself that I need that paycheck so my cats can stay home all day, nap in peace, eat snacks, and live their best spoiled-cat lives. 😂

This first week back at work has been ROUGH, y’all. I miss being home with my fur babies more than anything. Honestly, I think my true calling in life is being a stay-at-home cat mom. 🐾

But unfortunately, someone has to pay for the treats, toys, fancy food, and all the other necessities required to maintain this luxury cat lifestyle. And that someone is me. 😅

The funniest part? I don’t even think little Miss Riley misses me. As long as the food bowl stays full and the treats keep coming, she’s perfectly content living her best life while I’m out here working my butt off. 🤣

Any other cat parents feel like they’re just employees funding their pets’ dreams? 🐱💸 #stayathomecat #stayathomecatmom #catmom #catmomproblems #catmomprobs
