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?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! 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?! 🎃

The BEST Cat Food For Your Cat

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx on behalf of BLUE Buffalo.

Y’all know that I am a loud and proud cat mom. I mean, I even made my Toby his very own cat room. So that means I want to give my cat the best possible option for nutrition that is out there!

And that’s why we both love BLUE Tastefuls products. It really is the best cat food ever, and as you can see from the photos below, Toby would definitely agree with that!

He really enjoyed trying out all the different flavors and options, and we’re going to let you know just which ones were his favorite to enjoy!

The Best Cat Food
Look at my little cutie! So excited to try his salmon entree here!

Why Choose BLUE Tastefuls

If you are a cat parent too, then you may be wondering why I think BLUE Tastefuls has the best cat food for my cat. Well, I am here to give you all the lists and reasons why!

First of all, REAL meat is the very first ingredient. Either real chicken or real fish is always first. Yes, you read that right! No artificial preservatives or anything like that comes in any of their products.

All the ingredients are healthy and natural with no corn, wheat, or soy. As well as no chicken (or poultry) by-product meals. This is the true BLUE promise.

Plus, cats just go crazy for the taste. Toby literally comes running out of nowhere when he hears me pop open one of these cans!

Toby enjoying a BLUE Tastefuls Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée.

BLUE Tastefuls cat food really does stand superior to other ordinary cat food brands. They know the tastes that cats love and combine it with flavors that are healthy and natural to help them thrive.

Since they come in over 10 different flavor options, they will win over even the pickiest of eaters. And let me tell you, Toby is pretty picky himself as you will read below!

Toby loves the Flaked options!

BLUE Tastefuls Flavor Options 

You can easily find a multi-pack of assorted flavors at any local grocery store. They also have different styles when it comes to the cat food as well: paté, tender morsels or flaked. Here is a list of the different flavors in the paté pack:

  • Chicken Entrée 
  • Salmon Entrée 
  • Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée 

And here are the assorted flavors in the flaked pack: 

  • Chicken Entrée in Gravy 
  • Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy 
  • Tuna Entrée in Gravy 
Toby with Cat Food

Toby’s Favorite Flavors

So of course we had to test all the flavors out and Toby wanted to tell you all what his favorite ones were! 

I think his most favorite out of them all was the Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy! I think he liked that one the best because it was the flaked option.

I have only bought him the paté versions before so he had never experienced the flaked ones. And it was a game changer! He gobbled it right up and enjoyed every last bite of it.

The difference between the flaked and the paté is mainly the fact that it has more chunks of food in it. Which is why I think he enjoyed it more. 

Posing with Cat Food

I would say his second favorite was the Salmon Entrée. He is definitely a salmon boy and goes crazy for anything with that flavor. He really liked both the paté and flaked versions.

Toby’s third favorite was the Chicken Entrée in Gravy. He normally doesn’t enjoy anything with a chicken flavor and gravitates more towards anything seafood.

But, BLUE Tastefuls has made him change his mind on that! He still devoured the chicken flavor too and seemed to enjoy it almost as much as the others.

I was very surprised and it just goes to show you the amazing quality of ingredients that they put into their food. 

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a great and healthy option to feed your cat with, then you definitely need to check BLUE Tastefuls out.

They really are the best cat food and I would say that Toby agrees 100% with me. In fact, he’s spoiled now because he no longer wants any other cat food besides this amazing brand!

But, I am definitely okay with that because I know exactly what is in these products and I feel comfortable and safe enough to give it to him without any hesitations or concerns. 

Cats want great taste, and cat parents want a healthy option to provide to them. So with BLUE Tastefuls they bring you both in the convenient little can! Toby loves the taste, and I love the ingredients so it is definitely a win win for us!

Let your cat give it a try too. I promise one taste is all it takes!

Pin for later!

    Hi Charity,

    I love Toby – he reminds me of our last cat, Stella (sadly no longer with us).

    Blue Tastefuls sound like a great option for cat owners – and their cats! Are they USA-only or do they have operations elsewhere, like the UK?

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?!

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?! 🎃
