I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

After spending the entire week at the beach in Myrtle Beach, I can confidently say…I’m officially ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and then it’s straight into Christmas decorating mode! 🧡🎃➡️🎄 This heat has me dreaming of crisp mornings, twinkling lights, baking Christmas cookies, and all the cozy vibes.

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

I made these using my @glowforge machine, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out! Once they were cut, all they needed was a quick coat of white spray paint, and they were ready to decorate my fall planters.

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

Who else is already counting down the days until it’s time to decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

Homemade Easter Wood Crafts

Y’all know I am all about seasonal decor, and I love to make my own when possible. So today I thought it would be fun to share some homemade Easter wood crafts with you!

I absolutely love making wood crafts especially, and then painting them to my desired colors as well! You can really get crafty and creative personalize things to exactly how you want in your own home when you make your own decor.

It’s a great creative outlet for me and so much fun to make! I will be sharing some fun examples of Easter wood crafts below so be sure you check them out and see if there is anything you want to try to make as well. Hopefully, it will inspire you to create your own decor sometime too! 

Homemade Easter Wood Crafts For Porch

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.

Materials Needed For Homemade Easter Wood Crafts

So for today’s project, I am going to be using my handy dandy xTool p2 machine to make this super adorable Easter wooden sign.

To cut out the sign, I had a leftover piece of wood from another project. It was a 3mm basswood plywood piece. Which is my favorite type of wood to cut in my laser machine.

Cutting Out Easter Sign

It usually makes perfect wood cutouts, and since it’s not very thick, I don’t have to make multiple passes at it either. I also chose a cute Easter SVG sign file that I saw on Etsy as well.

Like I mentioned before, I don’t like to create my own files. And a lot of time they are super cheap to purchase off of Etsy, so I just do that instead. I will link the exact file I used below for you too!

Once everything is cut out, I will also be using my favorite glue, B-7000 to glue everything together. But, you could also use whatever wood glue you have on hand too.

I just like using the B-7000 because it gives you a little wiggle room if you mess up. It doesn’t automatically set up, which I love.

You could also use a hot glue gun too if you would rather for this. To paint all the wood slices and pieces, I used my favorite acrylic paint pens as well. It’s nice to have all these materials on hand because I usually end up using them over and over for different projects just like this!

But, you can also use whatever craft paint you prefer. I just think using a paint pen is easier when dealing with small, delicate pieces like this.

If you remember my DIY Easter tiered tray signs from last year, this project is very similar to that! Only slightly larger!

How to Make Your Own DIY Easter Signs

Once you’ve found an SVG file that you love, whether you choose the same one I did or a different one, you can cut it out using your laser machine.

You may think that this isn’t a simple Easter craft because of the laser, but trust me, once you start using the laser more and more, you will love it. I was definitely intimidated at first using mine, but now I am obsessed with it.

You can make so many cute Easter crafts, just like this one, once you get the hang of it. And once your skill levels increase, you can even make more complicated DIY projects too! And you don’t even need a miter saw or any other complicated power tool to do so.

Before Finishing Easter Sign

After everything is cut out, discard the scrap wood pieces and remove Easter sign pieces from the machine. For the background of the sign itself, I decided to use some wood stain.

And of course, I used my favorite Early American Stain for this. Then, for the lettering and the background of the wooden bunnies, I wanted to use white paint.

Making Easter Porch Sign

And for the other adorable bunnies, I decided to go with different pastel colors. I love how these Easter bunnies look just like the Peeps bunnies too! 

Putting Together The Bunny Signs

Once all the paint and wood stain is dried, you can now assemble the sign together. Like I mentioned above, I use the B-7000 to glue all the pieces together.

DIY Easter Porch Sign

You could also add in some greenery, Easter eggs, or a bow on the top of the sign to make it more like an Easter wreath too.

This finished piece would look perfect hanging on your front door as well. But, it’s the perfect project if you want to add in a little bit of your own flair when it comes to your home decor.

You can customize it however you want and use whatever colors you want. Which is always so much fun!

Hello Peeps Easter Sign

Enjoy These Homemade Easter Wood Crafts! 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this easy project on how to make your own Easter decorations. And I hope it inspired you to try it out yourself as well.

No matter how you are spending your Easter celebrations, doing some spring crafts around the home is always a good idea!
