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?! 🎃

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?! 😂

The Easiest Fruit Cobbler Recipe Ever

Are y’all ready for the easiest fruit cobbler recipe ever?? I am obsessed with fruit cobblers, especially during the summertime. But sometimes, I just don’t have the time to make one completely from scratch. So that’s why I love to use my Mad Dash Mix of fruit cobbler to make preparing this amazing dessert even easier! Keep on reading below to see just how you too can make the easiest (and tastiest) fruit cobbler ever!

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

The Easiest Fruit Cobbler Recipe Ever
Pin for later!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 Cup of Milk
  • 2 Cups of Fresh or Frozen Fruit
  • 1/2 Cup of Butter
  • Mad Dash Fruit Cobbler Mix (This mix comes with actually two mixes inside it. One is for the batter and one is for the fruit)
  • Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)
Ingredients for the Easiest Fruit Cobbler Ever
Here is everything that comes in the Mad Dash fruit cobbler mix!

Make The Batter:

The first thing you want to do is combine your batter mix with just 3/4 milk and that’s it for the batter! How incredibly easy is that?!

So much better than hand measuring out all the other batter ingredients and making it from scratch.

Combining Batter Mix

I love how quick and convenient Mad Dash Mixes are. They literally take all the hard work out of cooking and baking which makes it much more enjoyable!

Make the Fruit Mix:

After you make the batter, set it aside for just a few minutes while you make your fruit mix. To do this, all you need is the fruit mix from Mad Dash Mixes and 2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit.

If you use frozen fruit, just be sure that it is completely thawed out at first.

Blackberries for Cobbler
I like getting a big bag of frozen fruit for this recipe because again, it just makes it so much easier to prepare!

I love how you can choose whatever fruit you want for this recipe. I chose blackberries because nothing says summer to me more than blackberry cobbler!

But you could also do strawberries, peach, blueberries, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Making the Fruit Mix
Here you can see I mixed the fruit and the fruit mix together.

Making the Cobbler:

Now you’re going to want to melt the 1/2 cup of butter and pour it all into a 9×13 pan. Then, pour in your batter mixture and DO NOT STIR!

Pour Melted Butter In Pan
Here you can see I just poured the melted butter in. Shop my favorite kitchen essentials below too:

After the butter and the batter is in the pan, carefully spoon the fruit mix all over the top of the mixture evenly.

Unbaked Fruit Cobbler
This is how it should look before baking it.

Bake the Cobbler:

After you’ve spooned the fruit mix on top, it’s now ready to go in the oven. Place into a preheated oven of 350 degrees and bake for one hour.

Baked Blackberry Cobbler
Look at that nice and golden crust on top- YUM!

I mean, can this fruit cobbler recipe get any easier?! You just need minimal ingredients and just one hour of baking time and viola!

You are done and have a beautiful fruit cobbler that everyone will think you made from complete scratch! And I haven’t even shared the best part yet with you all!

Fruit Cobbler with Ice Cream
Look at all that deliciousness. You don’t have to top off the warm cobbler with some vanilla ice cream, but I highly recommend it!

I have a coupon code for you to use with Mad Dash Mixes. Just use code “Charity10” to save 20% off your entire order! I am telling y’all once you try these mixes, you will be hooked like I am.

    I love cobbler and this looks absolutely delicious! I especially love blackberry cobbler. I’ve made most of my recent cobblers in the crock pot by cutting up some fruit, pouring bisquick on top of it (mixed with milk of course) and voila! Not as fancy, but definitely tasty. Yours looks slightly more appetizing!

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?! 🎃

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?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈
