Little Miss Riley is VERY particular when it comes Little Miss Riley is VERY particular when it comes to cat toys. I can buy her the cutest toy ever and she’ll look at me like, “And what exactly am I supposed to do with this?” 🤣

But cat scratching pads?! Those are her absolute FAVORITE. She’s just about worn her old one out, so when I spotted this adorable Halloween cat scratching pad at Target, obviously I had to bring it home for her. 🎃

After a few very thorough sniffs, an inspection, and some test scratches… we officially have Riley’s approval! 👏🏻😹

Honestly, I’m just glad I managed to buy something that passed her incredibly strict quality-control standards. 😂

And the craziest part?! We literally JUST brushed her yesterday. 😬 How does one fluffy little tuxedo cat have this much fur to give?!

Being a cat mom basically means accepting that cat hair is now an accessory, your lint roller is your best friend, and you’ll be doing laundry for the rest of your life. 🤣

Thankfully, Charlie is cute enough to get away with it… and clearly VERY unbothered by the fact that she completely ruined my outfit. 😹

Tuxedo cat parents… PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one constantly covered in cat hair?! 👇🏻

10 YEARS. 🤍😭 Today is our 10 year wedding anniver 10 YEARS. 🤍😭

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary, and I truly cannot believe an entire decade has already gone by. Somehow, it feels like we were just saying “I do,” and at the same time, I can’t imagine a version of my life without you in it.

Logan, you are my rock, my safe space, my biggest supporter, my constant encourager, and most importantly, my best friend. 🤍

This past year has probably been one of the hardest years we’ve walked through together. Between everything going on with my health, the uncertainty surrounding my job and my future, and all the unknowns we’ve had to navigate, life has looked a lot different than I ever imagined it would.

But through every hard day, every appointment, every disappointment, every fear, and every unknown, you have been right there beside me. You’ve supported me, encouraged me, taken care of me, made me laugh when I needed it most, and reminded me over and over again that I never have to go through any of it alone.

And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much that means to me.

I’m so incredibly blessed that God gave me you. 🥹🤍 I would choose you over and over again in every lifetime.

Happy 10 year anniversary, Logan!! I love you more than you’ll ever know. Here’s to the next 10 years, and every single year after that. 🥂🤍

A whole decade down, forever to go. ♾️

Because WHY do these things always happen when you’ve already hit your limit for the day?! Like that was quite literally my final straw 😂

And the best part? I had JUST cleaned the kitchen floors. Of course I did. 🙃 But at least this runner is vinyl so it’s easy to clean too thankfully! 

Nothing humbles you quite like standing in your freshly cleaned kitchen, staring at the lunch you were so excited to eat… on the floor. 😂

Just one of those real-life moments where you have to laugh so you don’t cry and keep rolling with life’s punches.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has days where one tiny inconvenience feels like the absolute LAST STRAW?! 😩👇🏻

Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle from @antiquecandleco_ I shared last month?! Well… I’m sad to report that I’ve already burned through the entire thing 🤣 It smelled THAT good!

But honestly, one of my favorite things about this fall candle is that the beautiful amber glass pumpkin jar can be repurposed once the candle is gone. After giving mine a good clean, I turned it into the cutest little Halloween candy jar! 🍬🎃

So basically, it’s a 2-for-1: you get an amazing smelling fall candle AND an adorable reusable pumpkin jar for your fall and Halloween decor. 🙌🏻

I love finding ways to reuse seasonal decor instead of putting it away or tossing it—and this amber pumpkin looks so cute filled with Halloween candy!

And can we talk about these new fall eucalyptus trees from @nearlynaturalfloral?! 😍 I feel like they completely pulled the whole fall bedroom look together. The deep, moody colors are perfect for creating that warm and cozy autumn vibe I love.

I swear I sleep better when my bedroom is decorated for the season too. 😂 Anyone else?!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻

Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to look just like my Charlie?! 😹 Well apparently, I forgot to get Riley’s approval first.

Little Miss Riley discovered the finished DIY cat statue proudly displayed on the porch, and her reaction absolutely sent me. 💀 

At first, I’m pretty sure she thought we had brought home a FOURTH cat without consulting her. She kept staring at it from a safe distance like, “Ummm… excuse me?! Who is THAT?!” 👀🐈

Eventually, she worked up enough courage to jump up there and confront the mysterious imposter cat herself… only to realize it was FAKE. 🤣

And then, of course, she immediately had to play it cool like she totally knew that the entire time. 😹

Nothing humbles a cat faster than realizing she just tried to intimidate a painted statue. 😂

Cat moms, please tell me I’m not the only one whose cats get suspicious over literally ANY new piece of decor?!

I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf ball pumpkins, and I think I just found the perfect fall decor for a golfer’s man cave!

I used my Cricut to cut out some of my hubby’s favorite golf brand logos, then applied them to the pumpkins with transfer tape. That’s literally it! Such an easy Cricut fall craft, but they turned out SO cute.

You could definitely hand-paint the logos if you don’t have a Cricut…but y’all know me and my shaky hands. 😂 Painting tiny golf logos was absolutely NOT happening, so my Cricut saved the day!

Now these golf-themed pumpkins are officially my favorite piece of fall decor in my hubby’s man cave garage. Because apparently this is how you sneak fall decor into a golf-obsessed husband’s space. 😉⛳️

Honestly, I think these would be such a fun DIY golf gift idea too! If you want my full step by step tutorial, comment “golf” below and I’ll send it your way! 

Would your husband approve of these golf ball pumpkins, or would he tell you to leave his man cave alone?! 😂👇🏻

Because apparently if I put on a cute outfit, walk dramatically through some twinkle lights, and simply ✨ignore my responsibilities✨… they no longer exist.

That’s how adulting works, right?! 🤣

Consider this your reminder that the laundry, emails, errands, cleaning, and never-ending to-do list will still be there later. Sometimes you just need to romanticize your life and pretend you have absolutely nothing to do for a minute. 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one entering the weekend with a to-do list I have ZERO intentions of completing. 👇🏻

My Honest Review of Tayst Coffee

I got one of the best Christmas presents right before Christmas this year and I had to share with y’all all about it. I got a whole gift box full of delicious coffee from Tayst Coffee!

I am so excited to be able to partner with this amazing company and tell you a little more about them! Keep on reading to see how amazing and eco-friendly this coffee company is.

Plus, I have a great coupon code for you to use too if you choose to order some coffee through them as well!

Tayst Coffee
How cute is their little camper mug too?!

About Tayst Coffee

Tayst coffee is the first of its kind to offer eco friendly and compostable coffee pods in a subscription box form. Each pod is made from superior beans and provides a consistent and delicious brew each time.

Each pod is also made from bio based materials that reduces all the plastic waste cluttering our landfills today.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Our Revolutionary Pod

Tayst pods are 100% compostable! This means they actually give back fertile nutrients to the soil as they decompose. Other pods are made with petroleum- based plastics while ours is made from compressed corn starch combined with a bio-resin that is completely biodegradable, and safe for the planet.

They only select the finest coffee beans and choose carefully from farmers and communities throughout the Rainforest Alliance.

Which this organization works specifically with coffee farmers to improve the well being and overall health of their community.

Our beans do more than save the planet, but they help support the communities that grow them by being Rainforest Alliance Certified. Coffee farms or groups of smallholder farmers that earn the Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM seal are audited annually against a rigorous standard. This certification promotes decent living and working conditions for workers, gender equality and access to education for children in farm communities by providing living wages, allowing farmers to earn enough income to afford beyond the bare necessities, including managing their farms. Click the link to learn more about being Rainforest Alliance Certified: https://www.rainforest-allianc…

The Different Flavors of Tayst Coffee

  • Bold & Brazen
    • Deep and rich flavor with hints of cocoa. Very smooth and non acidic.
  • Bold & Brilliant
    • Dark mocha flavor with hints of black currants. Rich and bold with a nice smooth finish.
  • Medium & Heroic
    • Vanilla sweetness with a hint of almond. Slight crisp apple notes with a winey finish as well.
  • Medium & Magnificent
    • Flavors of citrus zest with roasted hazelnut and caramel along with a black pepper finish.
  • Vintage Vanilla Cream
    • Vanilla undertones with caramel notes and a light and smooth finish.
  • Definitely Decaf
    • Swiss water decaf that is deep and rich with smokey notes to it.
  • Happy Hazelnut
    • Rich and buttery flavor with a full body aroma. Toasty creamy finish as well.
Winter Coffee Bar
I definitely need a monthly coffee subscription since I have a coffee bar in my home!

How To Order Tayst Coffee

When you go on their website, they will ask you about how many cups of coffee you drink per day. Then, they will give you the best subscription choice based on your answer.

It goes anywhere from 30 cups a month (which is only $22) all the way up to 150 cups a month (which is $99).

Now, I don’t think I need a 150 pods of coffee for myself a month, but this would be a great option for a business or company to do for their employees too!

Their most popular subscription box is 50 cups for only $35 monthly. And the cool thing is you can customize and choose which flavors of Tayst coffee you want in your subscription box as well.

If all this sounds delicious to you too and you are ready to join the Tayst Coffee family, then I have great news for you!

You can use my code “CharityG25” to save 25% off your subscription box! I mean I don’t know how it can get any better.

Discounted coffee delivered straight to your door! I never want to run out of coffee so I love the idea of it being delivered to me monthly.

That way I never have to worry about running low, or remembering to pick it up at the grocery store. The less things I can add on my list, the better! Click here if you’re ready to order!

Tayst Coffee on Tiered Tray
This glass container to put your Tayst coffee pods in is super cute as well. Looks so perfect on my tiered tray!

Conclusion

I have had the pleasure of trying all of their delicious coffee flavors and I have come to the conclusion that Tayst Coffee is now my favorite coffee brand!

I am a huge coffee snob, y’all know this because I have my very own coffee bar in my home too. And I used to be obsessed with Starbucks K-Cups.

But, after trying this coffee, I don’t think I can ever go back. I also love how I am doing my part to help the environment out with this brand as well.

Have you ever tried Tayst before?? If not, you are missing out! You should definitely order you some today and see what you think!

    I love how many companies are moving towards compostable pods. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a fan of the convenience of our Keurig, however, I can’t bring myself to buy the standard pods. For the longest time, we were using a reusable pod with regular ground coffee. However, as we see more compostable options, we’re starting to venture out and try other varieties more!

    I have never heard of Tayst Coffee before but I love how they are making a conscious effect to be sustainable so that their customers can be more sustainable too. They offer some tasty sounding flavours too!

One of my favorite things to do is simply stroll through the historic downtown streets and admire all the gorgeous homes and their festive fall decorations. 🧡

But cat scratching pads?! Those are her absolute FAVORITE. She’s just about worn her old one out, so when I spotted this adorable Halloween cat scratching pad at Target, obviously I had to bring it home for her. 🎃

After a few very thorough sniffs, an inspection, and some test scratches… we officially have Riley’s approval! 👏🏻😹

Honestly, I’m just glad I managed to buy something that passed her incredibly strict quality-control standards. 😂

Confession: I’m one of those people who would rather lick the batter or sneak some cookie dough than wait for the finished dessert. 🤣 And don’t come for me about the raw batter…I’ve been doing it my whole life and I’m still here 😜

Which is exactly why this pumpkin butter cake is one of my FAVORITE fall desserts. It’s fully baked, but the middle stays unbelievably soft, rich, and ooey gooey. 🙌🏻

Consider this my official reminder to NEVER wear burgundy while cuddling Charlie again. 😂 One snuggle session later and my entire outfit is covered in black and white cat hair.

And the craziest part?! We literally JUST brushed her yesterday. 😬 How does one fluffy little tuxedo cat have this much fur to give?!

Being a cat mom basically means accepting that cat hair is now an accessory, your lint roller is your best friend, and you’ll be doing laundry for the rest of your life. 🤣

Thankfully, Charlie is cute enough to get away with it… and clearly VERY unbothered by the fact that she completely ruined my outfit. 😹

Tuxedo cat parents… PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one constantly covered in cat hair?! 👇🏻

10 YEARS. 🤍😭 Today is our 10 year wedding anniver 10 YEARS. 🤍😭

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary, and I truly cannot believe an entire decade has already gone by. Somehow, it feels like we were just saying “I do,” and at the same time, I can’t imagine a version of my life without you in it.

Logan, you are my rock, my safe space, my biggest supporter, my constant encourager, and most importantly, my best friend. 🤍

This past year has probably been one of the hardest years we’ve walked through together. Between everything going on with my health, the uncertainty surrounding my job and my future, and all the unknowns we’ve had to navigate, life has looked a lot different than I ever imagined it would.

But through every hard day, every appointment, every disappointment, every fear, and every unknown, you have been right there beside me. You’ve supported me, encouraged me, taken care of me, made me laugh when I needed it most, and reminded me over and over again that I never have to go through any of it alone.

And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much that means to me.

I’m so incredibly blessed that God gave me you. 🥹🤍 I would choose you over and over again in every lifetime.

Happy 10 year anniversary, Logan!! I love you more than you’ll ever know. Here’s to the next 10 years, and every single year after that. 🥂🤍

A whole decade down, forever to go. ♾️
POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangr POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangry… and then you drop your entire hot lunch on the kitchen floor 😩🤣

Because WHY do these things always happen when you’ve already hit your limit for the day?! Like that was quite literally my final straw 😂

And the best part? I had JUST cleaned the kitchen floors. Of course I did. 🙃 But at least this runner is vinyl so it’s easy to clean too thankfully! 

Nothing humbles you quite like standing in your freshly cleaned kitchen, staring at the lunch you were so excited to eat… on the floor. 😂

Just one of those real-life moments where you have to laugh so you don’t cry and keep rolling with life’s punches.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has days where one tiny inconvenience feels like the absolute LAST STRAW?! 😩👇🏻

Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle from @antiquecandleco_ I shared last month?! Well… I’m sad to report that I’ve already burned through the entire thing 🤣 It smelled THAT good!

But honestly, one of my favorite things about this fall candle is that the beautiful amber glass pumpkin jar can be repurposed once the candle is gone. After giving mine a good clean, I turned it into the cutest little Halloween candy jar! 🍬🎃

So basically, it’s a 2-for-1: you get an amazing smelling fall candle AND an adorable reusable pumpkin jar for your fall and Halloween decor. 🙌🏻

I love finding ways to reuse seasonal decor instead of putting it away or tossing it—and this amber pumpkin looks so cute filled with Halloween candy!

Sharing some cozy fall bedroom stills today because this room might be one of my favorite spaces I’ve decorated for fall this year! There’s just something about rich autumn colors, warm candlelight, and seasonal touches that makes a bedroom feel SO much cozier.

And can we talk about these new fall eucalyptus trees from @nearlynaturalfloral?! 😍 I feel like they completely pulled the whole fall bedroom look together. The deep, moody colors are perfect for creating that warm and cozy autumn vibe I love.

I swear I sleep better when my bedroom is decorated for the season too. 😂 Anyone else?!

And of course, it wouldn’t be fall in our house without an @antiquecandleco_ candle burning. 🕯️🍁 Their fall scents make the entire house smell like autumn perfection!

When my hubby first got this rotating watch displa When my hubby first got this rotating watch display case, I’m not gonna lie… I thought he was being a little ridiculous and extra 😂 Like, do the watches really need their own light-up display?!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻

Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to look just like my Charlie?! 😹 Well apparently, I forgot to get Riley’s approval first.

Little Miss Riley discovered the finished DIY cat statue proudly displayed on the porch, and her reaction absolutely sent me. 💀 

At first, I’m pretty sure she thought we had brought home a FOURTH cat without consulting her. She kept staring at it from a safe distance like, “Ummm… excuse me?! Who is THAT?!” 👀🐈

Eventually, she worked up enough courage to jump up there and confront the mysterious imposter cat herself… only to realize it was FAKE. 🤣

And then, of course, she immediately had to play it cool like she totally knew that the entire time. 😹

Nothing humbles a cat faster than realizing she just tried to intimidate a painted statue. 😂

Cat moms, please tell me I’m not the only one whose cats get suspicious over literally ANY new piece of decor?!

I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf ball pumpkins, and I think I just found the perfect fall decor for a golfer’s man cave!

I used my Cricut to cut out some of my hubby’s favorite golf brand logos, then applied them to the pumpkins with transfer tape. That’s literally it! Such an easy Cricut fall craft, but they turned out SO cute.

You could definitely hand-paint the logos if you don’t have a Cricut…but y’all know me and my shaky hands. 😂 Painting tiny golf logos was absolutely NOT happening, so my Cricut saved the day!

Now these golf-themed pumpkins are officially my favorite piece of fall decor in my hubby’s man cave garage. Because apparently this is how you sneak fall decor into a golf-obsessed husband’s space. 😉⛳️

Honestly, I think these would be such a fun DIY golf gift idea too! If you want my full step by step tutorial, comment “golf” below and I’ll send it your way! 

Would your husband approve of these golf ball pumpkins, or would he tell you to leave his man cave alone?! 😂👇🏻

Me walking into the weekend like my to-do list isn Me walking into the weekend like my to-do list isn’t a mile long and I don’t have approximately 47 things I should be doing. 😂

Because apparently if I put on a cute outfit, walk dramatically through some twinkle lights, and simply ✨ignore my responsibilities✨… they no longer exist.

That’s how adulting works, right?! 🤣

Consider this your reminder that the laundry, emails, errands, cleaning, and never-ending to-do list will still be there later. Sometimes you just need to romanticize your life and pretend you have absolutely nothing to do for a minute. 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one entering the weekend with a to-do list I have ZERO intentions of completing. 👇🏻
