POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

How to Decorate Your Kitchen For Fall

If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know I am all about decorating every part of my home for the seasons. Especially Fall and Christmas since they are my favorite time of year. So today I am going to show you just how to decorate your kitchen for fall.

I love adding in a few warm, fall touches here in there, even in my kitchen. And of course, this is my favorite spot in my house- my coffee bar! Which is a prime example of kitchen fall decor right there!

So if you’re struggling for ideas on how to decorate your kitchen for fall this year, I have you covered! Keep on reading for some of my simple ideas and tricks to get your kitchen fall ready!

Fall Coffee Bar

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

Fall Coffee Bar in Kitchen

Let’s go ahead and talk about what I mentioned above- my fall coffee bar! The best thing to decorate during the fall season in my opinion! I love having all my fall themed mugs hanging on a hook for display. Or for quick access when I want a delicious cup of coffee! 

Close Up of Fall Coffee Bar

I know they say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but I think my coffee bar is the heart of our home! And I mean, it is in the kitchen, so that makes sense, right?! But, we love our coffee and decor around here so it kinda goes hand in hand!

I love using warm fall colors such as a deep, burnt orange as the main accent color for my coffee bar. I have an orange apron hanging on a hook by the bar, as well several mugs with that color too.

Coffee Bar Fall Tiered Tray

The coffee bar is also right beside our dining room, and I like to carry over that color over there too. On the coffee bar open shelf, I like to display some of my Fall DIY Decorations I have done in the past, such as this fall cutting board. 

You could even turn your coffee bar into a more serious fall themed bar and do an apple cider bar instead. Especially if you are having a party or get together. How fun would that be?! 

Fall Dining Room

As I mentioned above, my dining room is located right next to my coffee bar too. So I love to carry in the same color scheme over there too. I have decorated our dining room a few different ways in the past for fall over the years.

Fall Tablescape

The way I used to decorate our kitchen table was with a dough bowl full of small pumpkins I painted. That was super popular and I loved the look of it. However, when we got our entryway table for the living room a few years ago, I decided to move the dough bowl over there instead of the dining table.

Pumpkins in Dough Bowl

Now, I love to create a fall centerpiece using fall flowers and faux pumpkins for the table instead. You may actually remember my DIY of mercury glass pumpkins I made last year, which are proudly on display on my centerpiece still.

They are the perfect Pottery Barn dupe, and look so expensive, even though I just got the pumpkins from the Dollar Tree! I have the arrangement of mini pumpkins scattered all over my tray for the centerpiece. And with the color palette of deep copper and gold, altogether it is the perfect fall coziness vibe here! 

The faux flowers in the vase also have the same deep copper/rust color so it all matches perfectly together! If you’re looking for more simple fall touches for your dining room, then you could easily just find a bowl and fill it with pine cones or white pumpkins instead. 

Fall Centerpiece With Pumpkins

You could also just use a plaid scarf you have laying around as a table cloth or table runner too. That is an easy addition that doesn’t require much work or planning to your decor! You definitely don’t have to go all out like I do, I’m just here to give you as many ideas as I can!

Fall Dining Room Open Shelves

In our dining area, we also have open shelves, which of course I love to add in some fall kitchen decor ideas here too! Open shelves are an easy way to display a few fall goodies! I like to use a mix of both old and new fall decorations here.

Fall Open Shelves

I have my usual display of all my vintage pieces that I have found from thrift stores and antique stores over the years. But I also like to add in a few new fall elements to them as well. For example, in my vintage white ironstone pitchers, I love to add in some faux flowers in them to give it more of a fall feel. And I just add a few things here and there with Autumn colors on the shelves as well. 

Fall Kitchen Island Countertop

I also don’t leave out my kitchen countertop when it comes to fall decor! I have a few things I like to do here. Such as a tiered tray. Tiered trays are such a great way to add in a little fall kitchen counter decor!

Kitchen Fall Tiered Tray

And if that’s all you want to do, it makes for the perfect simple fall kitchen as well. It’s enough to to make you say, “that’s a fall kitchen right there!” without going over the top or taking a lot of time to decorate. 

Just get little fall decor pieces from TJ Maxx, Home Goods, or Hobby Lobby and start filling your tiered tray with them! If you’re stuck on how to style a tiered tray for fall too, don’t worry! I have you covered with that as well! I shared all my tips and tricks on how to do that a few years ago, so be sure to go check that post out if you need help! 

Fall Candles

I couldn’t think of a better way to have a cozy kitchen this fall than to have some fall candles burning! Of course y’all know I am obsessed with Antique Candle Co. candles, so I had to throw this in here. If you’re wondering how to decorate your kitchen for fall easily, just add in some fall candles here and there! 

Pumpkin Spice Candle

Your kitchen will be so cozy with the scents of Autumn burning through the air! Whether you want it to smell like fresh pumpkins, or like you’re baking up a cozy treat, a fall-scented candle will definitely do the trick. And I am here to tell you that Antique Candle Co. literally has the best fall scents ever!

Fall Bedroom Tray

I love Autumn Woods, Fall Harvest, Warm Caramel Crumble, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Butter, just to name a few! If you want to try them out too, you can use my code “MACEDONIA20” to save 20% off as well! And if you do try them out, let me know what you think about them too! I know you’re going to love them just as much as I do! 

Enjoy Your Fall Kitchen 

I hope you came here today wondering just how to decorate your kitchen for fall, and came out with a ton of ideas and inspiration! As you can tell, I have a great time decorating not only my kitchen, but my whole house for fall too!

If you want to see just how I decorate everywhere in my home, be sure to check out my Fall Home Tour too. Where I walk you around my whole home and show you all my fall decor ideas! Not only just the kitchen! 

Do you decorate your kitchen for fall too?! And if so, when do you start in the Autumn months to do so? Late September or right now like me? I always love to start filling my home with fall’s vibrant colors as early as I can! Especially since I start decorating for Christmas early too! Let me know your thoughts below!

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the secon Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the second the Fourth of July is over? 🍂😂

I hope y’all had the best Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 We had the sweetest, low-key Independence Day celebrating at home, and honestly… it was one of my favorite holidays yet.

We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool, then my hubby smoked his famous ribeyes for a delicious family dinner. 🥩(comment “Recipe” below if you want me to send it your way! 😉) After that, we hopped on the golf cart and drove around until we found the perfect spot to watch the Fourth of July fireworks near our house. 🎆

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇
