Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

Don’t get me wrong, you might catch me out and about every once in a while… but just know I’ll need approximately 2–3 business days at home afterward to recover from all that socializing. 🤣

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Please tell me I’m not alone! Where are all my fellow introverts, homebodies, book lovers, and cat moms?! 👇🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Would you turn your vacation seashells into Christmas ornaments too?! 🦪

We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀

Top Ten Gift Ideas From My Favorite Small Shops on Instagram

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

Being an Instagram influencer, I am able to have the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with so many amazing small shops. So I wanted to share my top gift ideas from my favorite small shops.

I have loved being able to share their products and I have gathered a list together here for my top ten gift ideas from my favorite shops for you guys to enjoy!

So if you’re still on the hunt for a perfect Christmas gift idea, then this blog post is definitely for you! And be sure to read through them because I may just have some coupon codes for y’all to use as well!

1. Ebenezer Market

Christmas Entryway Nook
Look at that cute truck! Click here to order you one as well.
Ebenezer Market Farmhouse Signs
Love all of Ebenezer Market’s signs! Click here to order this one.

I love handmade signs. There is just something to buying from a small shop that you just can’t get from a big box store. Homemade signs are just some of the perfect gift ideas to me.

Most of their signs are so unique and made with such amazing quality, that you are just not getting that experience when you buy from a chain.

That’s why I definitely recommend you guys check out one of my favorite sign makers, Ebenezer Market. They make so many amazing signs and I currently have three from them and I plan on getting more! I am just so impressed with the quality and they have so many cute ones to choose from.

And if you use “Charity10” you can get 10% off your order! So go check them out and order some Christmas presents or gifts for yourself!

2. Mad Dash Mixes

Mad Dash Mixes Cranberry Pasta Salad
I absolutely love these mixes and they are perfect for a quick and delicious dinner! Click here to order this amazing cranberry pasta salad!
Mad Dash Mixes Cranberry Pasta Salad
These would make perfect gifts for those who love to cook or don’t! Either way, it gives you a nice break from cooking because it’s literally so easy to make!

Y’all have heard me talk about Mad Dash Mixes time and time again, but I can’t help it! I am obsessed. If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you’ve seen my stories on them and just how easy they are to prepare.

I love using them for dinner on a busy weeknight. They are delicious and only require a handful of ingredients to make a yummy meal.

I am giving some away as Christmas presents this year and you should too! It’s the perfect gift idea! Also, be sure to use “Charity10” for 10% off with them as well! If you want to read more about them, see my other blog posts: Cranberry Pasta Salad and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup for more info about these amazing mixes!

3. Modern Forestry Candles

Cozy Farmhouse Christmas Bed
Not only are these candles beautiful, but they smell so amazing too!
Modern Forestry Candles
I love to style them in all of my vignettes!

I love my Modern Forestry candles. They burn so well and have a long lasting burn life. I also love the fact that they are 100% soy and hand poured so I know I am not releasing a bunch of chemicals into the air every time I light them.

Because let’s be honest, if I am at home, I have candles burning in every room! I just love how cozy they look when burning and I am obsessed with having a great smelling house!

They come in many different scents, but my favorite one is Coffeehouse. It makes your whole house smell just like a cafe!

And if you’re interested in learning more about Modern Forestry, click here to see my last blog post. I always think that giving a loved one a candle is a great gift idea as well.

4. Teami Tea Blends

Teami Tea Blends
I love to make a chai tea latte with their tea.
Teami Chai Tea
I also love to add in a bit of honey to sweeten it up too!

I love Teami’s tea blends. If you read my blog post about them from awhile ago (click here if you haven’t seen it) then you know I wasn’t really a tea fan until I tried their chai tea blend, and now I am hooked!

They have so many different ones to choose from, so if you have a tea lover in your life, then this would be a perfect gift for them! You can also use MACEDONIA15 for 15% off your order!

5. Mapiful

Mapiful Gift Idea
So special and beautiful!

I have worked with Mapiful twice now and each time I am blown away by the final product. If you haven’t heard of them before, you definitely need to go check them out!

They create custom maps for a special time/place/event in your life and there are many different styles to choose from. The first one I did was a map of where we built our home.

Then, I did a star map of our wedding day and it shows just how the stars were aligned on that particular day (you can see it pictured above). How cool is that?!

This would make such a special and meaningful gift for a loved one in your life! It would definitely be something they would treasure forever!

6. Coppercure Mugs

Coppercure Copper Mugs Gift Idea
Not only are these mugs beautiful, but they work so well too! They keep your drinks nice and cold and the quality to them is very well made!

You’ve heard me talk about these mugs in my last post about corner hutch. I am definitely in love with them and that’s why I think they would make an amazing gift for someone!

It also already comes in a perfect little box that includes all four mugs, coasters, and straws so all you would need to do is wrap it and you have a complete gift set of unbelievably beautiful copper mugs!

7. Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa

Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa
They come in cute individual packets like this, or in a big family sized packet too.
Rae Dunn Cocoa Mug
I always love a cup of warm cocoa on a cold evening!

If you’re shopping for someone who is on a stricter diet, then this Coconut Cloud hot cocoa would be perfect for them! It’s vegan and completely dairy, soy, and gluten free!

They also have a lot of other products to choose from as well such as latte mixes and coffee creamers. This would make a perfect gift with a cute coffee mug!

8. Rodworks Unique Home Decor

Christmas Open Shelves
I love adding seasonal touches to my open shelves and these bottle brush trees were the perfect touch!

I love those cute little bottlebrush trees up there on my shelf from Rodworks! They have some amazing farmhouse decor pieces and not just Christmas decor!

If you haven’t shopped with them before, you should go check out their website. They have so many great pieces to choose from and you can even shop for a particular room when you are browsing through which is really cool.

They also have a great list of inexpensive gift ideas too so if you know someone who loves farmhouse style decor, this would definitely be a good place to shop for them! And, you can use the code “christmas15” for 15% off of ANYTHING, not just Christmas!

9. Honey Brook Shop

Rae Dunn Gobble Coffee Mug
This faux whip looks yummy enough to eat!

Another favorite small shop of mine is Real Honey Brook. She makes the cutest little decor items that are perfect for displaying with your Rae Dunn or on tiered trays.

She made that beautiful faux whip on my mug above and the cute little candy canes in the photo below as well. She hand makes a lot of her items and has restocks often in her shop.

If you know someone who loves to decorate tiered trays and has a love for farmhouse decor too, then go check out her shop and order them some cute pieces for a great gift!

10. Hidden Valley Farmhouse

Peppermint Cookies
Check out that adorable candy cane garland! Click here to order you one as well.

I have worked with Hidden Valley Farmhouse a lot this year and I love her cute felt garlands. I have four and I love displaying each one for different seasons. She has so many cute seasonal garlands and neutral garlands too.

They would make a perfect gift for someone who loves to use garlands in their displays and decor. You can use them on tiered trays, ladders, mantels, basically the list could go on and on because the possibilities are endless!

Top Ten Gift Ideas From My Favorite Shops on Instagram
Pin for later!

I hope some of these ideas have inspired you and gets you closer along to being finished with all of your Christmas shopping! I just love to support these amazing shops and I try to shop small as much as I can.

I think when you do, the gifts are so unique and you know that not everyone has it in their home too which makes it more special. Have fun shopping my friends and good luck with finishing everything up!

I would say I am about 75% done. Still have a few more gifts to go so I am trying to get my butt in gear and get it finished.

Stay tuned this week and I will have another blog post up for you on how I wrapped all my presents this year!

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

Don’t get me wrong, you might catch me out and about every once in a while… but just know I’ll need approximately 2–3 business days at home afterward to recover from all that socializing. 🤣

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Please tell me I’m not alone! Where are all my fellow introverts, homebodies, book lovers, and cat moms?! 👇🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Save this easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for your holiday crafting list!

Would you turn your vacation seashells into Christmas ornaments too?! 🦪

We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
