I caught Toby doing a little DIY cobweb removal on the porch… except instead of just knocking the spiderwebs down, I’m pretty sure he was EATING them. 😂 Sir??? We have actual cat food inside.

I have no idea when spiderwebs became a cat snack, but apparently Toby would give them 10/10. At this point, I might as well put him to work around the rest of the house. If you’re going to eat cobwebs, buddy, at least get the ones in the corners too. 🤣

Anyone else have a cat who does the most unexplainable things?! Please tell me Toby isn’t the only one. 👇🏻

If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, le If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, let it be this one. 🎃🤤

This ooey gooey pumpkin butter cake has been one of my favorite fall desserts for YEARS, and once you see that gooey center, you’ll understand why!

It starts with a buttery yellow cake mix crust and then gets topped with the most decadent pumpkin cream cheese filling flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. And the best part? You actually WANT the middle to stay a little gooey. 👏🏻

It’s basically what would happen if pumpkin pie, cheesecake and gooey butter cake all got together and created the ultimate fall dessert. 😂

This would be SO good for a fall party, Halloween get-together or even Thanksgiving if you want something different from traditional pumpkin pie!

Save this post so you have an easy pumpkin dessert recipe ready for fall baking season. 🍂

The best season of the year is FINALLY here, and apparently fall understood the assignment because we’re supposed to get some cooler temperatures this week too! 🙌🏻

After what feels like the longest, hottest summer ever, I am more than ready for crisp fall weather, cozy evenings, changing leaves, pumpkin everything, and ALL the fall baking. 😂🍎🎃

And obviously, the first day of fall deserves to be celebrated with a homemade fall treat… so now the only question is: what should I bake today?!

Apple butter pie? Apple cider cookies? Pumpkin bread? 👀

Tell me your favorite fall dessert below and help me decide! 👇🏻

Happy fall, y’all! 🍂🤎

We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove this weekend watching the pros play, soaking up the gorgeous mountain views, and just enjoying such a fun day together!

There’s something extra special about a golf weekend in Asheville, NC, especially when you get to experience a beautiful course like Walnut Cove and see professional golfers in action. And while I may not know everything happening on the course 😂, I can definitely appreciate the atmosphere, the views, and a good excuse for a fun weekend out!

Western North Carolina really does have some of the prettiest places. 🤍

Golf fans: would this be your perfect weekend too?! ⛳️👇🏻

Because is it really a cookout without homemade So Because is it really a cookout without homemade Southern potato salad?!

This is one of those tried-and-true recipes I make whenever we’re grilling because it literally goes with EVERYTHING. Burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, ribs, grilled chicken—you name it, and a big bowl of creamy potato salad belongs right beside it. 🙌🏻

And with football season officially here, this easy Southern potato salad is the perfect game day side dish for backyard cookouts, tailgates, football parties, or an easy fall weekend dinner.

It’s classic, creamy, comforting, and one of those recipes everyone keeps going back for another scoop of!

So if your ideal fall weekend involves football on the TV, something delicious cooking on the grill, and all the classic Southern sides, you need to save this one. 😍

Y’all, I need your help settling a very important Y’all, I need your help settling a very important debate. 🤣👇🏻

I have an event coming up in October that calls for cocktail attire, so naturally I found TWO cocktail dresses I love and now I can’t decide which one to wear. 😂

They’re basically the same color, but totally different vibes…

✨ Dress 1: sleek + satin
✨ Dress 2: sparkly + sequined

I think I’m Team Dress 1, but my hubby is firmly Team Dress 2… so we need outside opinions before this turns into a full household debate. 🤣

Which one would YOU wear for an October cocktail attire event?!

Comment DRESS 1 or DRESS 2 below and help me choose! 👇🏻

Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies do NOT have to be complicated! Just add colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs to sugar cookies and suddenly you’ve got the cutest little monster cookies. 👀🎃

I love making homemade sugar cookie dough, but if you’re short on time? Grab the store-bought dough. I fully support taking the shortcut. 😂👏🏻

These easy Halloween monster sugar cookies would be so cute for a Halloween party, spooky movie night, kids’ Halloween treat, or just a fun weekend baking project.

Minimal effort + maximum spooky cute. That’s my kind of Halloween baking! 👻

Would you make these with homemade cookie dough or take the store-bought shortcut?! 👇🏻

That’s why Hungryroot has been such a lifesaver for me! I can easily search for high-protein recipes, pick exactly what sounds good, and have everything I need delivered straight to my door.

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?! 👇🏻

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

I can’t believe how close we are to Mother’s Day! It is definitely sneaking up on us so I thought it would be fun to create a Mother’s Day Gift Guide. Just in case you were looking for some great gift ideas.

All of these items I have listed are items that I have personally used so I know the quality to them is outstanding.

Anything on here would make such a fabulous Mother’s Day present and I know any mother would love to have it!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

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

For The Jewelry Loving Mom:

I think we can all agree that jewelry is always a perfect gift for mom! Whether it’s for her birthday or Mother’s Day, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewelry.

I wanted to include some of my favorite jewelry pieces to give right now for this Mother’s Day Gift guide! I am currently loving Victoria Emerson’s collection of jewelry.

Not only are they high quality pieces, but they are amazingly affordable as well!

Victoria Emerson Jewelry
Here are just a few bracelets and Apple Watch Bands that I currently have and love!

They offer many awesome styles of bracelets including wraps and cuffs. And they offer them in a variety of different stones and colors as well.

You can also get Apple Watch Bands or FitBit bands too. I have slowly been building up my jewelry collection from this company and I am not disappointed in any of the pieces I have gotten so far at all.

I have also already given some as Christmas gifts and they were a big hit there as well.

Victoria Emerson Apple Watch Band
Here is a close up view of one of the beautiful Apple Band Watches I have from Victoria Emerson.

If you’re looking for a little more of an elevated look, they also offer some beautiful gold plated pieces too. I love the simple and underestimated look to these pieces.

And currently they are on a BOGO sale so you could definitely order a piece for you and a piece for your mom as well!

Another cute bracelet option is from Inspire Me bracelets. They offer beautiful bracelets with uplifting quotes and/or bible verses on them.

You can get them silver or rose gold plated as well and they have so many pretty natural stone options to choose from too.

This would be such a thoughtful gift to include your mom’s favorite bible verse on a bracelet! You can also use my coupon code “CHARITY1” to save 20% off your order too (until April 30th)!

Inspire Me Rose Gold Bracelet
Here is an all rose gold Inspire Me Bracelet.
Victoria Emerson and Inspire Me Bracelet
I have both Victoria Emerson and Inspire Me Bracelets layered here. You could gift them both just like this and it would be super cute!
Inspire Me Bracelet
And here is a rose gold and white marble Inspire Me Bracelet.

For The Coffee Loving Mom:

If your mom loves coffee just as much as mine does, then why not give her a coffee subscription box gift?! How cool is that idea?!

It’s definitely unique and not your traditional flower and jewelry type gift. I have shared about Tayst Coffee before with y’all but I wanted to mention it again!

You can choose different flavors of coffee, amounts, and other items like coffee mugs. Then, Tayst will package it all up and send it to her monthly so she never runs out of coffee again!

Plus, the cool thing is you can adjust every month. So you could send her the first box, and then let her choose her own coffee after the first month after trying all the flavors. I love how customizable and easy they make it!

Tayst Coffee

If this sounds like a great Mother’s Day gift idea for your mom, I have more exciting news for you. You can use my code “CharityG25” to save 25% off your subscription box with Tayst!

So not only can you give a perfect coffee loving mom gift, but you can save a little money by doing so as well. Also, did I mention that these coffee pods are 100% compostable too?!

Even better if your mom is environmentally conscious too!

For The Cook Loving Mom:

You know my love already for Caraway Home cookware (see my blog post about it for more info in case you missed it last time), so I had to include it on this list too.

If your mom loves to cook, then why not surprise her with a brand new set of cookware!? This is the best set of non-toxic and non-stick cookware I have ever had.

And they come in such fun and stylish colors too. I definitely don’t think you could go wrong with this set as a Mother’s Day gift!

The best cookware
Fry Pan and Dutch Oven
Caraway Home Pans

For The Candle Loving Mom:

Y’all knew that candles of course had to be listed on here didn’t you?! I’ve shared all about my love for Antique Candle Co plenty of times on here before.

But really these make an incredible gift. Whether you choose to gift a full size candle or a box full of different sample sized candles. You really can’t go wrong with this gift idea!

Peach Apricot Candle

I think the sample sized boxes would make a great gift idea. That way she can choose her favorites and then order a full sized one after knowing her favorite scent.

I shared more in detail about all their spring scents a few weeks ago so be sure to go check that out if your interested in learning more.

Also, if your mom isn’t a huge candle fan, did you know that they offer wax melts too?! You could definitely get her a cute wax warmer (I’ll link some cute ones below) and some yummy wax melts and that would make an incredible gift too!

Plus, the wax melts are much cheaper than the candles so that’s a win win there!

For The Work Out Loving Mom:

I wanted to include something for the work out loving moms in this Mother’s Day Gift Guide as well. I think giving the gift of an at home workout streaming option would be so much fun.

Openfit has some incredible classes such as Pilates, Barre, Yoga, Strength Training, Stretching and so much more! Plus, you get a FREE 21 day trial before actually committing to buying.

That way your mom can try out all the classes first and see if she actually likes them before buying the year membership. I personally use this app almost every single day as my workout and LOVE it.

So I highly recommend it. There’s nothing like being able to work out in the comfort of your own home.

Also, chances are if your mom is into working out, she’s also into nutrition as well. Which is why I wanted to include Goli Gummies in this category as well.

I shared all about this amazing Apple Cider Vinegar Gummy in the past, but I wanted to include it here again. They have also released their new Ashwagandha Gummy this year too.

Which is supposed to help you sleep and relax and it definitely does in my experience. Also, both gummies are gluten-free, plant based, non-GMO, and Vegan.

So if this sounds like something your mom would be interested in too, then feel free to use my code “morningsonmacedonia” to save 10% off your order.

Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
These gummies are actually so delicious. You get all the benefits of apple cider vinegar without the awful taste!

In conjunction with working out, energy is a key factor as well. Which is why Verb Energy bars would make a lovely Mother’s Day Gift for the work out loving mom too!

You can gift her a bag of energy bars for just $12. That includes a bag of her favorite flavor, plus four trial bars in the other flavors as well. So that’s a total of 16 bars for this amazing price.

I love these bars as well and eat them almost every single day. You really do get a great boost of energy from them because they are made with organic green tea and not coffee.

It’s the same as a shot of espresso (65 mg) but you don’t get the jitters from them. Verb Bars are also vegan, non-GMO, organic and only 90 calories as well!

Verb Energy Bars

For The Beauty Loving Mom:

And of course, we can’t forget beauty options on this Mother’s Day Gift Guide! What mom wouldn’t like some new skincare or some new beauty products to make her feel special with?!

I’m currently loving DIME Beauty Products as they are all natural and cruelty free products! My favorite product from them is their eyelash boosting serum.

You can get this with their boosting mascara as a bundle and that would be such a fabulous Mother’s Day present as well.

Their perfume is also amazing and you can get it in a sample size with all 3 different scents that way she can try them all out to decide on her favorite one!

Basically all of their products are amazing and you can’t go wrong with ordering anything from their site. As a bonus, you can use my code, “CharityG20” to get 20% off your order with them too!

DIME Beauty Products
Some of my favorite DIME beauty products on the tray. Their Hyaluronic Acid Serum is also amazing as well.

You guys may also remember my love for TULA Skincare products. I have been using them religiously for almost a year now and this would make such a fabulous Mother’s Day gift as well.

They have so many awesome products to choose from and the cool thing about them all is they are made with probiotics and superfoods. They are also all cruelty free as well.

If you aren’t sure what exactly to gift your mom, then they make cute little sample packs that include little minis of their most popular items.

That would be a perfect way for her to test it out and see if she really likes it or not! You can use my code “15CHARITY” to save 15% your order from them too!

I’m also linking some of my other favorite TULA products below too. Feel free to ask any questions if you are wondering about a certain product.

I have pretty much tried almost all of them and I am super impressed with them all!

Conclusion

Well, this officially wraps up my Mother’s Day gift guide. I hope y’all enjoyed it and I hope it gave you a few ideas on what to gift your mom on this special day.

If you end up getting her anything on this list, please let me know! I would love to hear what your gift idea was. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about anything on this list here!

I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with your sweet mamas!

    Jewelry is always a great idea. Love the cookware set too. And yes… to beauty & skincare gifts. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about Tula. This is one skincare product I’d love to try.

    These are all great ideas! My mom would love the candles or coffee so I will have to look into both. I am very intrigued by the coffee subscription box. Thank you for the recommendation! 🙂

    Great picks. Can’t choose a favorite but if you put a roller to my head then I’d lean towards the coffee roaster and the cookware, in that order.

Apparently my cat has forgotten how to cat. 😹 I c Apparently my cat has forgotten how to cat. 😹

I caught Toby doing a little DIY cobweb removal on the porch… except instead of just knocking the spiderwebs down, I’m pretty sure he was EATING them. 😂 Sir??? We have actual cat food inside.

I have no idea when spiderwebs became a cat snack, but apparently Toby would give them 10/10. At this point, I might as well put him to work around the rest of the house. If you’re going to eat cobwebs, buddy, at least get the ones in the corners too. 🤣

Anyone else have a cat who does the most unexplainable things?! Please tell me Toby isn’t the only one. 👇🏻

If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, le If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, let it be this one. 🎃🤤

This ooey gooey pumpkin butter cake has been one of my favorite fall desserts for YEARS, and once you see that gooey center, you’ll understand why!

It starts with a buttery yellow cake mix crust and then gets topped with the most decadent pumpkin cream cheese filling flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. And the best part? You actually WANT the middle to stay a little gooey. 👏🏻

It’s basically what would happen if pumpkin pie, cheesecake and gooey butter cake all got together and created the ultimate fall dessert. 😂

This would be SO good for a fall party, Halloween get-together or even Thanksgiving if you want something different from traditional pumpkin pie!

Save this post so you have an easy pumpkin dessert recipe ready for fall baking season. 🍂

And if you want the full printable recipe, comment “PUMPKIN” below and I’ll send it your way! 👇🏻

After what feels like the longest, hottest summer ever, I am more than ready for crisp fall weather, cozy evenings, changing leaves, pumpkin everything, and ALL the fall baking. 😂🍎🎃

And obviously, the first day of fall deserves to be celebrated with a homemade fall treat… so now the only question is: what should I bake today?!

Apple butter pie? Apple cider cookies? Pumpkin bread? 👀

We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove We had the BEST time at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove this weekend watching the pros play, soaking up the gorgeous mountain views, and just enjoying such a fun day together!

There’s something extra special about a golf weekend in Asheville, NC, especially when you get to experience a beautiful course like Walnut Cove and see professional golfers in action. And while I may not know everything happening on the course 😂, I can definitely appreciate the atmosphere, the views, and a good excuse for a fun weekend out!

Western North Carolina really does have some of the prettiest places. 🤍

Golf fans: would this be your perfect weekend too?! ⛳️👇🏻

This is one of those tried-and-true recipes I make whenever we’re grilling because it literally goes with EVERYTHING. Burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, ribs, grilled chicken—you name it, and a big bowl of creamy potato salad belongs right beside it. 🙌🏻

And with football season officially here, this easy Southern potato salad is the perfect game day side dish for backyard cookouts, tailgates, football parties, or an easy fall weekend dinner.

It’s classic, creamy, comforting, and one of those recipes everyone keeps going back for another scoop of!

So if your ideal fall weekend involves football on the TV, something delicious cooking on the grill, and all the classic Southern sides, you need to save this one. 😍

Y’all, I need your help settling a very important Y’all, I need your help settling a very important debate. 🤣👇🏻

I have an event coming up in October that calls for cocktail attire, so naturally I found TWO cocktail dresses I love and now I can’t decide which one to wear. 😂

They’re basically the same color, but totally different vibes…

✨ Dress 1: sleek + satin
✨ Dress 2: sparkly + sequined

I think I’m Team Dress 1, but my hubby is firmly Team Dress 2… so we need outside opinions before this turns into a full household debate. 🤣

Which one would YOU wear for an October cocktail attire event?!

Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies Consider this your reminder that Halloween cookies do NOT have to be complicated! Just add colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs to sugar cookies and suddenly you’ve got the cutest little monster cookies. 👀🎃

I love making homemade sugar cookie dough, but if you’re short on time? Grab the store-bought dough. I fully support taking the shortcut. 😂👏🏻

These easy Halloween monster sugar cookies would be so cute for a Halloween party, spooky movie night, kids’ Halloween treat, or just a fun weekend baking project.

Minimal effort + maximum spooky cute. That’s my kind of Halloween baking! 👻

Would you make these with homemade cookie dough or take the store-bought shortcut?! 👇🏻

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?!

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?! 🧀🤣
