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?! 🎃

DIY mercury glass pumpkins that still look this go DIY mercury glass pumpkins that still look this good YEARS later?! Sign me up! 🎃

I made these mercury glass pumpkins several years ago, and I’m still so in love with how they turned out! They honestly look just as good today as they did when I first made them, which makes this one of my favorite budget-friendly fall DIYs.

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree pumpkin and turning it into fall decor that looks way more expensive than it actually was. 🙌🏻 These have that beautiful vintage mercury glass look and are perfect for adding a little cozy, high-end touch to your fall and Halloween decor.

And the best part? You only need a few supplies and a few dollars to recreate them!

Comment “mercury glass” below and I’ll send you the full step-by-step tutorial! 🎃

🍎🍂 SEPTEMBER MEANS IT’S OFFICIALLY TIME TO BAKE AL 🍎🍂 SEPTEMBER MEANS IT’S OFFICIALLY TIME TO BAKE ALL THE FALL THINGS!

And these Apple Cider Crinkle Cookies need to be at the top of your fall baking list! 😍 Made with nutty browned butter, a homemade apple cider reduction, and warm autumn spices, these cookies are rich, chewy, cozy, and basically taste like apple orchard season in cookie form.

They may sound fancy, but I promise this apple cider cookie recipe is actually so easy to make! 🙌

If you love apple desserts, fall cookies, and anything that makes your kitchen smell like autumn, you HAVE to try these! 🍎🍪

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. 👇🏻

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!

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. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

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”? 🎃🐈

Y’all know I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress Y’all know I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately, especially with all of my ongoing medical issues and still not having the answers or help I need. I thought picking up a paintbrush and trying a little creative hobby would be the perfect way to relax, clear my mind, and hopefully be a little therapeutic.

Then I saw these cute fall-themed paint by numbers kits and immediately thought, “Yep. This is right up my alley!” 😂 Something simple to keep my mind busy and get me into the cozy fall spirit.

Except… I forgot to factor in the tremors. 🤣

I started with what I thought was an easy one, fully convinced it was going to turn out adorable. Instead, my letters are all wonky, the paint definitely went outside the lines, AND I somehow dropped my paintbrush directly onto the canvas. 💀😂

But honestly? Despite the questionable artwork, it worked. It actually took my mind off everything for a little while, and I had so much fun doing it. Shaky hands and all. 🥹❤️

Maybe I’ll try another paint by numbers later this week and see if I can redeem myself. 😂🎨

Anyone else have a relaxing hobby that turns into a complete disaster but you keep doing it anyway? 😂👇🏻
