Who says the front porch gets to have all the fun?! 😂 I spend WAY more time on our screened-in porch, so of course I had to give it a cozy little fall makeover too!

This bar cart is one of my favorite spots to decorate because it’s so easy to switch out with the seasons. A few pumpkins, some warm fall colors, and simple seasonal touches instantly make this space feel so much cozier for fall. 🍁

And since this is basically my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee, I want it to feel just as festive as the rest of our home!

Of course, the cats also think the pumpkins are here specifically for them to knock over. 😹 Apparently they have VERY strong opinions about my fall porch decor.

Are you decorating your outdoor spaces for fall too, or do you keep all the pumpkins inside?! 🎃

I made these mercury glass pumpkins several years ago, and I’m still so in love with how they turned out! They honestly look just as good today as they did when I first made them, which makes this one of my favorite budget-friendly fall DIYs.

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree pumpkin and turning it into fall decor that looks way more expensive than it actually was. 🙌🏻 These have that beautiful vintage mercury glass look and are perfect for adding a little cozy, high-end touch to your fall and Halloween decor.

And the best part? You only need a few supplies and a few dollars to recreate them!

Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… BUT YOUR SUMMER FLOWERS DIDN’T GET THE MEMO 😂

I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

Are you team REAL MUMS 🌼 or team FAUX MUMS because you can’t keep them alive either?! 😂

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

Healthy Mocktail Recipes

I always love to enjoy a good mocktail on the porch when the weather is nice. And if you do too, then you will love these healthy mocktail recipes I am sharing on the blog today. These non-alcoholic drinks are easy to make and only require simple ingredients.

Most have fresh fruits, fresh herbs, and fruit juices added to make it not only refreshing but delicious as well. So if you’re trying to cut back on your alcohol consumption, or just want to enjoy some healthy summer mocktail recipes, then be sure to check out the ones I have listed below.

I love sipping on a good drink, but try to stay away from all the sugary drinks out there. And not only are these mocktails tasty, but they are definitely healthier mocktails for you to enjoy too.

So if you’re looking for a lower sugar option when it comes to a tasty and delicious drink, I’ve got you covered! 

Easy Mocktail

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full disclosure policy for more details.

Raspberry Lime Mocktail

To make this easy and delicious raspberry lime mocktail, you only need a handful of ingredients listed below: 

  • ​Fresh Raspberries 
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • Mint
  • Club Soda

First, you need to muddle the fresh raspberries, lime juice from 1/2 a lime, and a couple of mint leaves together. Add some ice to your glass and then top with club soda.

Making Mocktails
Raspberry Lime Mocktail

If you want more raspberry flavor, top it off with some sugar free raspberry syrup. Garnish with more fresh raspberries and a mint leaf and enjoy!

This healthy mocktail is one of my all time favorite summer mocktails! It’s such a refreshing drink full of great flavor.

And I love me some fruity drinks, but I don’t love all the calories and sugar that come with them. So this easy mocktail is definitely one of my all time favorites for that reason alone! 

Easy Raspberry Lime Mocktail

​Cranberry Rosemary Ice Cubes

You may remember my festive cranberry rosemary ice cubes I made last year during the holiday season. These are such a great addition to just simple, sparkling water.

If you want a drink for a special occasion while trying to continue with your healthy eating habits, these would be perfect. Just pour it into a champagne flute to make it even more fancy!

I know the holiday time of year is hard to look after your overall health. There’s always food, drinks, and snacks around.

Cranberry Rosemary Ice Cubes in Sparkling Water

So if you’re trying to have drink options with more healthy ingredients, this is a great way to do so. And you just need 3 simple ingredients to make them: 

  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Cranberries
  • Pomegranate Juice (You could also use cranberry juice too)
  • Ice Cube Trays

To make these fun ice cubes, place cranberries and rosemary into the ice cube trays. Then, top it off with pomegranate (or cranberry) juice. Place in the freezer and freeze until solid. Add to your favorite sparkling mineral water or drink of choice to make it festive and fun! 

After Freezing Ice Cubes

Sparkling Blood Orange Mocktail 

Y’all may remember my ARMRA colostrum blog post where I was mentioning all the potential benefits you get from taking ARMRA daily.

And not only do you get so many health benefits from taking it, but you can turn it into a fun mocktail as well! ARMRA Colostrum comes in several different flavors, one being blood orange.

Which happens to be my favorite! All you need to do is add 2-3 scoops of ARMRA into plain water. Mix it together with a frother, and then top with some sparkling blood orange water.

The Best Colostrum Brand

My favorite is Polar Seltzer’Ade in Blood Orange Lemonade. Not only does it taste like sparkling lemonade with a hint of blood orange, but it is 0 calories and has no sugar content!

So as far as healthy drinks go, these Seltzer’Ades make for great options! You can add them into mocktail drink recipes like this, or just enjoy them by themselves too! Another great option is the orange vanilla sparkling water too. That tastes just like a cream soda in my opinion!

Blueberry Lime Mocktail

Another one of my favorite mocktail recipes is this blueberry lime mocktail. I love this one because you make your own blueberry simple syrup essentially for it. To do that you just need two ingredients:

  • Fresh Blueberries
  • Truvia Sweetener 

To make the simple syrup, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup Truvia, and the fresh blueberries together in a saucepan. Cook the blueberries down until you get a syrup-like mixture.

Making Simple Syrup
Making Blueberry Simple Syrup

Cool completely and store in a glass container in the fridge until ready to use. Then, to make the mocktail, I like to add this simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and mint to the bottom of a glass and muddle together.

Blueberry Lime Mocktail Recipe

Then, I like to add in some ice and top it with Topo Chico Blueberry Hibiscus Sparkling Water! To garnish, I’ll throw in some more blueberries, lime wedge, and/or sprig of mint. So pretty and delicious too! 

Enjoy These Healthy Mocktail Recipes! 

Well as you can see, when it comes to virgin drinks, they don’t have to be boring and full of sugar! You can make a delicious mocktail that is not only healthy for you, but fun to drink as well.

So instead of regular cocktails, try making some of these mocktails that are perfect for the whole family. If you’re participating in dry January or just being more conscious of your alcohol intake, these recipes are definitely for you to try!

I just love a good low-sugar mocktail full of fresh ingredients. And my DIY herb garden definitely comes in handy for these recipes too. I love being able to just go out on my porch and snip some fresh herbs for my mocktails whenever I want!

If you try out any of these mocktails, let me know! I’d love to know what you think about them!

She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈
