I found these adorable vintage thermoses and loved them as-is… but then I had the idea to give them a spooky-cute Jack-o’-lantern makeover for Halloween! 🎃

All I did was pull out my @cricut and cut a simple Jack-o’-lantern face from removable vinyl. Now I have two decorations in one! Display the plain side for your cozy fall decor, then simply turn them around when it’s time for Halloween decorating. It’s such an easy way to get more use out of your vintage finds!

This is one of my favorite easy Cricut Halloween DIYs because it takes just a few minutes, costs almost nothing, and gives thrifted decor a fun seasonal twist. If you love vintage Halloween decor, thrift flips, and budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas, you have to try this one! Comment “Halloween” below and I’ll send you all the details! 

Would you leave them vintage… or are you team Jack-o’-lantern? 🎃🖤

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those b Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those bunnies hopping around her yard uninvited this weekend! 🐰😹

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window too? 🐈

For a more casual beachfront dinner, @bummzbeachcafe is another one of our go-to spots. Great food, ocean views, and the perfect laid-back beach vibes.

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 ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!

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 ♥️
