Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Save this easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for your holiday crafting list!

Would you turn your vacation seashells into Christmas ornaments too?! 🦪

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻
If you’re wondering what to do with all that lefto If you’re wondering what to do with all that leftover Halloween candy, these Leftover Halloween Candy Cookies are the answer! They combine two of my favorite things: candy AND cookies! So you really can’t go wrong. 🤣

Just chop up your favorite leftover chocolate candy bars, mix them into the cookie dough, and you’ve got the ultimate easy post-Halloween treat! Plus, every cookie is a little different depending on what candy you throw in. 🙌🏻

This is such a fun way to use up leftover Halloween candy instead of letting it sit around for the next six months. 😂

Poor Riley! The look of absolute SHOCK on her face when she hears about her past! 🤣 I swear, the dramatic reactions of cats are just too funny sometimes!

But here’s a fun fact about our little rescue kitty! 🐈‍⬛ When we adopted Riley, my mom actually adopted her biological mama, Smoke! So technically, Riley’s mom lives with her grandma now. 🤣 Which means we can visit her anytime we want!

So don’t worry, Riley! We know exactly where you came from, and your mama is living her best life too! 😹❤️

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who makes up dramatic storylines about her cats?! 🤣

Farmhouse Coffee Bar Ideas Through The Seasons

If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know how I love my coffee bar area. And I love to style it for every season and holiday. So I thought it would be fun to share all my Farmhouse Coffee Bar Ideas Through The Seasons today. 

That way you can always come back to this post for each holiday to get a little inspiration on how to style your own coffee bar too. This is a great way to add in some seasonal decor to your home without going overboard. And who doesn’t love a cute space dedicated to all the coffee essentials you need to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee!

Coffee lovers, this post is for you! I hope you enjoy how I style my own coffee station and I hope it gives you some ideas and inspiration as well. Now, grab you a cup of coffee and enjoy all these home coffee bar ideas!

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

Coffee Bar Necessities 

Before I go through and show you examples of how to style your coffee bar for every season, let’s get into the coffee necessities you need in order to create your own bar.

And even if you don’t have a dedicated space to create a coffee bar like I do, you could always just use part of your kitchen counter too. You don’t have to create a huge coffee bar space. Just do what works for you! There are plenty of ways to create a coffee station!

When we built our new home, I knew I wanted a coffee bar so we specifically set aside some room for it in our dining room space. Our dining room and kitchen is all open and connected so it flows together nicely and fills the void perfectly!

It’s a great addition to the space and it’s something I use and enjoy every single day! And the best way to show you all my farmhouse coffee bar ideas for each and every season!

Winter Coffee Bar

Coffee Bar Cabinet 

To create mine, I used a coffee bar cabinet as the base. This cabinet has a beautiful farmhouse feel to it and has glass doors so you can see inside.

This ultimately makes for the perfect piece because I can store things inside of it, but also display them and make them pretty. I typically keep all my extra Rae Dunn pottery pieces here.

If you wanted to hide something inside, you could easily do so by adding some wicker baskets instead. That way, it still looks pretty, but you can store whatever you need to inside without showing it. And it has plenty of storage space inside which is always a plus!

On top of the cabinet is where I place the coffee maker. I have a classic Keurig machine and I just added a Nespresso machine last year to it as well. I also keep my coffee canister on top of the cabinet too. This is a perfect place to store my coffee pods as well. You could also store coffee beans or coffee grounds inside a canister too.

Tiered Tray

Does it come as any surprise to anyone that I have a tiered tray on my coffee bar too?! I always talk about tiered trays, and how to style them, so of course I added one on the bar too. This is an easy way to display seasonal items, or store more coffee supplies on.

It can make for a beautiful focal point for your coffee bar as well. It’s also great to have if you have a small coffee station as well. A tiered tray doesn’t take up too much room and you can place it directly beside your coffee machine. If you’re looking for more DIY coffee bar ideas for small spaces, be sure to check out how I made our coffee bar back when we had our camper too!

Coffee Bar Sign

Mug Rack 

This simple idea I had for a mug rack came true thanks to my sweet hubby. I wanted an open shelf that had hooks on the bottom of it so I could display my coffee mugs and then also style the top of the shelf too.

But, I could never find one I liked in the store so my husband ended up taking matters into his own hands for this. We just got a simple floating shelf and then some eye hooks. Then, we measured out the shelf and figured out how far the hooks should be placed apart. 

I wanted a total of six hooks, that way I could easily display my mugs and have it look nice and even. And that was it! We also hung a big coffee sign on top of the mug rack as well. The final part to creating this DIY farmhouse coffee bar! And now check out my farmhouse coffee bar ideas for every season below!

Winter Coffee Bar

Let’s just go ahead and start at the very beginning of the year. This is usually what I do for the whole month of January. Right after all the Christmas decorations come down, it can be hard to style and decorate your home.

Winter Hot Cocoa Bar

I feel like my house always feels empty after all the decor comes down. So I love to leave in some winter greenery to give it a cozy feel still. I share more in detail on how to keep your home cozy after Christmas in another one of my blog posts, so be sure to check that out if you missed that in the past. 

Winter Tiered Tray

But between the greenery and hot cocoa theme, it works! It’s not too Christmasy, but it is perfect for winter. Just because Christmas is over, doesn’t mean you don’t want a great cup of joe to warm you up!

Valentine’s Day Coffee Bar

I always love adding in soft touches of pink, even in home decor. And Valentine’s Day gives me just the excuse to do that! Plus, I have themed Rae Dunn mugs for Valentine’s Day as well. 

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar

I place each Valentine’s Rae Dunn mug on the hook and alternate them to create a beautiful love themed display! Since each mug is double sided, I have two of each to showcase the saying plainly. 

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar Tiered Tray

Spring Coffee Bar

I like to keep the soft touches of pink going for my spring coffee bar as well. I just take down all the super lovey dovey Valentines and keep anything that is pink. I also add in more pastels and greenery to keep with the spring theme.

The Creative Farmhouse Sign on Coffee Bar
Here is another spring like option for a coffee bar without all the pastels!

​Easter Coffee Bar

​My Easter coffee bar is different than my spring coffee bar because I have more specifically themed coffee mugs for this holiday. And of course I add in lots of carrots, eggs, and bunny rabbits too!

Styling an Easter Coffee Bar

Summer Coffee Bar

For summer I usually split up my coffee bar decor into two different categories. I love to patriotic decor for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. So I love to display a lot of red, white and blue pieces here for that.

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

But, after those holidays are over, I usually tend to stick with a lemon theme for the rest of the summer. I use anything bright yellow or anything that has lemons or lemonade on it. This is bright and cheery for the warm summer months!

Summer Coffee Bar

Fall Coffee Bar

After I put all the lemons away, out comes the pumpkins! I absolutely love fall, it’s right next to Christmas for me! Bring on all the pumpkin spice please! Pumpkin flavored coffee is one of my favorite things about the season!

Close Up of Fall Coffee Bar

And again, I have all the pumpkin themed Rae Dunn mugs for this occasion too. They make for one of the perfect pumpkin mug displays you could have!

Coffee Bar Fall Tiered Tray

Christmas Coffee Bar

Christmas is hands down my favorite holiday to decorate for. And of course I love to intermix Christmas decor with all my coffee bar essentials. I like to create more of a vintage or rustic coffee bar for Christmas.

Vintage Christmas Coffee Bar

​Using my vintage Santa mugs and antiques, I am able to create this rustic theme! I also kind of turn it into more of a hot cocoa bar to keep with the Christmas theme too. You could easily change out the coffee sign to some wood signs that are more on season too like I did here as well.

Enjoy Your Farmhouse-Style Coffee Bar

Well, I think I gave you more than enough ideas to get started with your own home coffee station here. I hope you are able to create your own space and add your own personal touch to it as well. And I hope you enjoyed all these farmhouse coffee bar ideas. 

I absolutely love my morning coffee routine and enjoy looking at my coffee bar decor every season. If you’re a big coffee drinker too, then you definitely need to create your own coffee bar.

Whether it be a huge bar or a very small coffee bar, I am sure you will enjoy it either way! Creating a farmhouse style coffee bar has been one of my favorite things to date inside of our home. I definitely don’t regret it and look forward to switching it up every season. 

Pin for Later!

Do you have a designated coffee area or bar in your home too? If so, I would love to hear how you decorate yours too! Let me know below!

POV: You finally decide it’s time to tell your ado POV: You finally decide it’s time to tell your adopted daughter the truth about her biological mother… and she is NOT taking the news well. 😭🤣😹

Poor Riley! The look of absolute SHOCK on her face when she hears about her past! 🤣 I swear, the dramatic reactions of cats are just too funny sometimes!

But here’s a fun fact about our little rescue kitty! 🐈‍⬛ When we adopted Riley, my mom actually adopted her biological mama, Smoke! So technically, Riley’s mom lives with her grandma now. 🤣 Which means we can visit her anytime we want!

So don’t worry, Riley! We know exactly where you came from, and your mama is living her best life too! 😹❤️

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who makes up dramatic storylines about her cats?! 🤣

Football season is officially here, which means I’m all about the game day snacks! 🙌🏻 
And this easy Football Cheese Ball might just be the cutest addition to your next football party or tailgate! I’m partnering with @foodlion to create this simple, delicious football-shaped cheese ball using ingredients you can easily grab during your next grocery run. 
It’s creamy, cheesy, loaded with ranch and bacon, and perfect for serving with crackers and pretzels. 😍 Here’s what you’ll need: 
🏈 FOOTBALL CHEESE BALL: 
• 16 oz cream cheese (2 8-oz blocks), softened 
• 2 tbsp sour cream 
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 
• 1 oz ranch seasoning (1 packet) 
• ¼ cup chopped green onions 
• ½ cup chopped bacon or bacon bits 
• 1 tsp hot sauce (optional) 
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
🏈 FOR THE COATING: 
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans 
• ½ cup chopped bacon 
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions 
• 2 slices white cheese for the football laces 
Mix all of the cheese ball ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer until combined. Spray a little cooking oil on your hands and shape the mixture into a football. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I made mine the night before so it was ready to go on game day! When you’re ready to serve, combine the pecans, bacon, and green onions in a shallow dish and roll the cheese ball in the mixture until completely coated. Cut thin strips from the white cheese to create the football laces, arrange everything on a serving tray with your favorite crackers and pretzels, and you have the CUTEST football party appetizer! 🏈🧀
