Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

There’s just something about vintage Christmas decor that makes my heart so happy! ❤️ These nostalgic Santa mugs are timeless, full of charm, and just so stinkin’ cute and jolly! 🎅🏻

And honestly, can you ever really have too many Santa mugs?! I think NOT! 😜

Now tell me, what’s ONE Christmas decoration you can’t stop collecting?!👇🏻 I need to know I’m not alone in my Christmas decor obsession! 🤣

Tips For Decorating Your Home For Spring

Hey Y’all! Welcome to my Spring Home Tour 2020! This post is actually part of a big blog hop with 5 other bloggers who are sharing their tours too! I am sharing tips all about how to decorate your home for spring so hopefully you will find some inspiration from it if you haven’t started decorating yet!

If you are coming over from my friend Janice’s home of Our Perfecting Manor, welcome! I just love Janice’s home! 

Note: At the bottom of this post, I will be directing you on to the next stop on our spring home tour – there’s a total of 7 other bloggers and I hope you will visit them to get a ton of spring inspiration this year!

How many of you have started your spring decorating this year? Or better yet, do you even bother to decorate for spring? A lot of times people will tell me that they don’t really change things up because it is too much work.

Well, I am here to give you a few tips and pointers on how to decorate your home for spring easily. I just like to add in a few touches here and there to give my home a more spring like feel!

Spring Decorating on Open Shelves
I’ve added a few spring touches here on my open shelves in the dining room, including a beautiful sign from The Creative Farmhouse!

Use Florals And Greenery

I think my biggest tip for spring decorating is to use floral and greenery throughout your home. And it is a quick and cheap way to add in some spring touches.

Faux florals will last you from year to year so it really isn’t a huge investment to get some and display them. Plus, I think it really brightens everything up and makes your home feel happy and bright for spring.

Use Florals and Greenery for Spring Decorating
Here you can see I used a combination of both florals and greenery.

Use Colors

I keep a majority of my home neutral so when a holiday comes around, it is easy for me to add in a few pops of colors here and there.

Places I love to add colors into are especially my coffee bar and my tiered trays. I usually do the most color here because it is confined to a small area of my home and adds just enough color without being too overwhelming.

I love to use pastel colors for spring decorating as you can see below on my coffee bar.

Use Colors for Spring Decorating
I definitely went all out on the pastel colors for my coffee bar this year!

Use Candles

Not only do you need to add a few decorative touches in your home to make it look more like spring, but you also need a few candles to make it smell just like spring too! I love fresh and light scents during this time of the year.

And y’all know I am obsessed with my Modern Forestry candles, so my current favorite spring ones are Lavender and Glazed Lemon Cake- so perfect for spring! Not only do candles smell great, but they look pretty in home decor too!

Use Candles for Spring Decorating
See look how pretty these candles look on a tray display!
Purple

Use Pillows

How easy is it to add in a little decorative pillow for a spring touch?? I love to use pillows for seasonal decor because they are so easy to add in and you can find them relatively cheap too.

And again, this is something that will last you year after year so it is definitely worth it to get a few Easter or Spring like pillows for your home.

Use Pillows for Spring Decorating
Check out this adorable little bunny pillow in my entryway nook! So perfect for both spring and Easter decor!

Use Garlands

I always like to have a seasonal garland displayed on my hutch for each different holiday. So this ticking stripe bunny garland is the perfect little touch to make my hutch more spring appropriate.

Plus, it’s super easy just to add in a little banner and keep everything else the same!

Use a Garland for Spring Decorating
Look at that adorable bunny garland!
On my office shelves, I just added a vintage bunny book for a pop of spring decor!
Added some cute little pastel touches to my tiered tray too.
Use Florals and Greenery for Spring Decorating
Close up view of my other tiered tray.
Here you can definitely see all the greenery I used for this space too.
The Creative Farmhouse Sign on Coffee Bar
Here is another spring like option for a coffee bar without all the pastels!

Well, I hope these little tips and tricks will help you get inspired and motivated to do a little spring decorating in your home this year too. I would love to see what y’all come up with! Have a lovely day my friends and thanks for stopping by!

Now go over and check out my friend Lynn’s home over at At Home In The Wildwood and see just how she styled it all for spring as well!

    These ideas are perfect! I love candles they make the room smell so nice and inviting, also your little bunny in your entryway nook is soo cute, if I could I would have lots more cushions and pillows in my house but my partner moves them onto the floor when he’s sitting down so I spend most of my time picking them back up again. I have never considered using a garland before but it is so cute!

    It seems so strange to think we’ll be decorating our house for Easter soon. That bunny cushion is adorable! We’re very lucky to have a garden to forage greenery from for vases and a garland but I hadn’t thought about a table runner – great idea, thank you! PS, your house looks BEAUTIFUL <3 x

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

And honestly, can you ever really have too many Santa mugs?! I think NOT! 😜
