The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

But I think it turned out absolutely adorable! 🐈‍⬛🎃 This was such an easy and fun way to personalize inexpensive Halloween decor and make it look just like your own pet.
Now I need to know… would you paint one to look like your cat?! 👇🏻

🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste 🍎 Don’t let those fresh orchard apples go to waste! Freeze them instead! 😉

Have you ever tried freezing fresh apple slices?! This is one of my favorite fall kitchen hacks, especially after a trip to the apple orchard! 🍏

Every fall, I come home with WAY more apples than we could possibly eat before they go bad 😂 So instead of letting them sit on the counter, I prep and freeze a big batch of apple slices to use all season long!

It takes a little extra time upfront, but having fresh apple slices ready in the freezer makes fall baking SO much easier. 🥧 You can grab exactly what you need whenever you’re craving apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple bread, or any of your favorite cozy apple recipes!

Plus, it’s such an easy way to preserve those delicious fresh-picked apples from the orchard and enjoy them long after apple season is over. 🙌🏻🍎

Want to know how to freeze fresh apples the right way so they’re ready for all your fall baking?!

Comment “APPLES” below and I’ll send you my full step-by-step guide! 🍎❄️

And tell me, what’s the FIRST apple recipe you’d make with them?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, load it up with all your favorite cookies, candies, chocolates, and seasonal treats for the ultimate fall dessert charcuterie board. 🍫🍬🍪

The best part?! It’s completely NO BAKE 🙌 Just grab your favorite fall and Halloween treats, arrange them on a board, and you have an easy dessert that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did. 😂

This would be SO cute for a Halloween party, fall girls’ night, Friendsgiving, movie night, or any fall get-together. 🎃👻 And you can easily customize it with whatever treats you love!

Honestly, I think dessert charcuterie boards might be better than regular charcuterie boards… but maybe that’s just my sweet tooth talking. 😆

Would you make a fall dessert board like this?! And more importantly… what treat are you grabbing FIRST?! 👇🏻

Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! 🎃

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.

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?! 😂

Home Office Valentines Day Decor Ideas

Y’all know I love to decorate for every little holiday around my home. Although, I don’t go all out like I do at Christmas with all the Christmas decorations for every holiday. Like Valentine’s Day for example. I do like to add in a few touches here and there for my home office valentines day decor.

That’s why I thought I would share with you all how to decorate your home office for Valentine’s Day today. And I am just using a few simple ideas, nothing too crazy. So you could easily do it too if you have a home office.

Or apply these ideas to your dining room or living room instead if you don’t have a home office either. If you’re looking for a little inspiration like that, you have definitely come to the right place for it!

I love little Valentine’s Day decorations everywhere I can put them! So keep on reading to see just how to decorate your office with a little more personal touch of Valentines decor!

Vintage Valentine Card in Frog Flower

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

Valentine’s Day Wreath

One of the easiest ways to transition seasonal decor is just by changing up the wreaths in your home. You know I had a flocked, lighted wreath in here for Christmas, so I needed to change it for Valentine’s day.

My sweet mother-in-law actually made me this wreath for my birthday last year and I think it’s perfect for Valentines Day. Especially since it has the traditional red and pink colors in it. I also love how it has the vintage cards on it too.

Vintage Valentines Home Office

She knows me well! Considering my whole home office is vintage themed too. So this wreath fits perfectly between Valentine’s Day and vintage as well. You could also make your own seasonal wreath as well.

It makes for the perfect wall art too because I have it layered in front of my tobacco basket hanging on the wall too. It definitely provides a lot of texture and visual interest to the space. Wreaths are no longer just for a front door in my opinion!

And if you’re looking for some cheap DIY ideas for that, be sure to check out my wood bead heart wreath tutorial I shared last week. That’s a great way to create a wreath without breaking the bank!

Heart Filled Dough Bowl

Another easy way to add in some simple home office valentines day decor is to fill up a dough bowl with hearts. I got a box full of felt hearts from Michaels and they are the perfect addition to my dough bowl. I like how the red heart is bigger and has sayings written on it as well.

Dough Bowl Filled With Hearts

This dough bowl is sitting above my little electric fireplace in my office too. I decorate the top of it kind of like a Valentine’s Day mantel. I have some candlesticks on one side of the dough bowl and a farmhouse style lantern on the other side.

Valentine's Day Dough Bowl

But there is definitely enough room to add some festive table decorations on it, which is always an easy way to add in some office valentines day decor.

Valentine’s Day Reading Nook

One of my favorite home office valentines day decor spots is my reading nook area. You may remember some of my valentine’s day crafts that I shared a few years ago, where I made some garland out of paper hearts.

Valentine's Reading Nook

It was super easy to do, I just used a lever punch in a heart shape to create it. And I stained my own book pages as well to give it a more antiqued look. But, I have been reusing this banner year after year and it always provides the perfect amount of valentine’s day decoration wherever you place it.

Valentine's Reading Nook in Office

I decided to hang them around my reading nook shelves this year. And the lengths of twine on the heart garland are the perfect size for these shelves. You could even make this garland with some red twine to make it even more seasonally appropriate too!

I also use a few extra paper hearts on my dining table as well. It’s a super easy DIY project that can definitely go a long way!

My Wedding Bouquet Painting

You will also notice on my shelves, a hand painted portrait of my wedding bouquet! I thought that was definitely appropriate for some home office valentines day decor! It’s both sentimental and beautiful I think!

Another thing I love to use to decorate this space is vintage valentine cards displayed on an old flower frog. Such a cute way to display an old card!

Vintage Valentines Card

And of course, you can’t have a reading nook without a good book. I have Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren on display here since it is a great book for the season as well.

Love Book in Reading Nook

The last thing I have in my reading nook for valentine’s day decor is this beautiful blush colored throw in my basket. That’s another easy way to add in some seasonal decor to your space. Just switch out your blankets, throws, pillows, etc. to a more seasonal color as well!

Pink Throw in Basket

Vintage Valentine’s Day Cards

I mentioned this above how I have some vintage valentine’s day cards displayed on the reading nook shelves. But another fun way to display them is using magnets and placing them on my vintage locker in the corner of my office!

Vintage Valentines on Locker

And if you didn’t have any vintage valentines day cards laying around, you could always just display a favorite photo like this instead! Bonus points if it’s valentines day related as well!

Close Up of Vintage Valentine Cards on Locker

Valentine Desk Decor

The last view of my home office valentines day decor is my desk. This is where I am constantly working on all my blog posts, so I definitely needed to make it festive! You know I always have some scented candles burning on here, which of course those are always from Antique Candle Co.!

Valentines Day Office Decor Ideas

And I also included a little tabletop heart to add in a little love on my desk as well. And even just having my pink Erin Condren Planner and calculator on display as well makes for the perfect valentine’s decorations too. Especially since they are the perfect color and even match my MacBook too!

Pink Calculator
Erin Condren Planner on Office Desk

And again, I included another vintage valentines day card on a flower frog to display on my desk too. Those really make for the best valentine decor because they are usually so cheap to get, and can be displayed in so many ways as I have shown you above!

Vintage Valentine in Home Office

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this little home office Valentine’s Day decor tour. This was just a quick view of my office to give you a creative idea on how to decorate for the holiday as well! I hope it showed you how to decorate your home office for valentine’s day too by using these quick and easy ideas.

Valentine's Day Decor

If you decorate your office for different seasons too, I would love to know! And if you’re looking for more inspiration, be sure to check out my post on Easy Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas as well! I hope you all have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day my friends!

The second I saw this black cat in the Target Hall The second I saw this black cat in the Target Halloween decor section, I knew exactly what I had to do… turn it into Charlie. 😹

Obviously, I couldn’t just leave this little black cat statue as-is when I have my very own fluffy tuxedo cat at home! So I grabbed some paint while I was at Target and came home for a little Halloween craft night with my very attentive supervisor. 😂

And when I say Charlie supervised… I mean she watched VERY closely to make sure I got her likeness just right. 👀

I used white paint to recreate her adorable tuxedo face, pink for her little nose, and green for her eyes. Her eyebrow whiskers came out slightly wonky, but honestly… hers are a little wonky in real life too, so we’re calling that accuracy. 😂

When the DIY cat statue was finally finished, Charlie inspected my work and… well… I’m not sure she was impressed. 😹
Obviously she knows she’s MUCH prettier in person, so her Target Halloween decor dupe simply wasn’t up to her standards.

But I think it turned out absolutely adorable! 🐈‍⬛🎃 This was such an easy and fun way to personalize inexpensive Halloween decor and make it look just like your own pet.
Now I need to know… would you paint one to look like your cat?! 👇🏻

There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to sa There’s just one tiny problem… I can’t dance to save my life, I’m not Mormon, I’m not a mom, and I’m pretty sure binge-watching every season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives does NOT count as an application. 🤣

But seriously… why do all the Mormon wives look SO cute in their matching sweat sets?! Like they just casually throw one on and look effortlessly put together.

Meanwhile, most sweat sets have me looking like an oversized pumpkin with a drawstring. 🎃😂

BUT THIS ONE?! 👏🏻

This Aerie sweat set might finally be my MomTok moment because I’m obsessed. It’s comfy, cute, and actually makes me feel put together while still basically wearing pajamas, which is exactly the kind of fashion I support. 😂

And obviously, the only appropriate activity while wearing it is binge-watching the new season of SLOMW. 👀

So… who else already blew through the entire season?! 😂 I need to know ALL your thoughts because I have opinions. Drop yours below! 👇🏻

POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, load it up with all your favorite cookies, candies, chocolates, and seasonal treats for the ultimate fall dessert charcuterie board. 🍫🍬🍪

The best part?! It’s completely NO BAKE 🙌 Just grab your favorite fall and Halloween treats, arrange them on a board, and you have an easy dessert that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did. 😂

This would be SO cute for a Halloween party, fall girls’ night, Friendsgiving, movie night, or any fall get-together. 🎃👻 And you can easily customize it with whatever treats you love!

Honestly, I think dessert charcuterie boards might be better than regular charcuterie boards… but maybe that’s just my sweet tooth talking. 😆

Would you make a fall dessert board like this?! And more importantly… what treat are you grabbing FIRST?! 👇🏻

Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! 🎃

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?! 🎃

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. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

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?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

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”? 🎃🐈
