When my hubby first got this rotating watch displa When my hubby first got this rotating watch display case, I’m not gonna lie… I thought he was being a little ridiculous and extra 😂 Like, do the watches really need their own light-up display?!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻

Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to Remember when I painted that Target cat statue to look just like my Charlie?! 😹 Well apparently, I forgot to get Riley’s approval first.

Little Miss Riley discovered the finished DIY cat statue proudly displayed on the porch, and her reaction absolutely sent me. 💀 

At first, I’m pretty sure she thought we had brought home a FOURTH cat without consulting her. She kept staring at it from a safe distance like, “Ummm… excuse me?! Who is THAT?!” 👀🐈

Eventually, she worked up enough courage to jump up there and confront the mysterious imposter cat herself… only to realize it was FAKE. 🤣

And then, of course, she immediately had to play it cool like she totally knew that the entire time. 😹

Nothing humbles a cat faster than realizing she just tried to intimidate a painted statue. 😂

Cat moms, please tell me I’m not the only one whose cats get suspicious over literally ANY new piece of decor?!

I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf I turned these plain white pumpkins into DIY golf ball pumpkins, and I think I just found the perfect fall decor for a golfer’s man cave!

I used my Cricut to cut out some of my hubby’s favorite golf brand logos, then applied them to the pumpkins with transfer tape. That’s literally it! Such an easy Cricut fall craft, but they turned out SO cute.

You could definitely hand-paint the logos if you don’t have a Cricut…but y’all know me and my shaky hands. 😂 Painting tiny golf logos was absolutely NOT happening, so my Cricut saved the day!

Now these golf-themed pumpkins are officially my favorite piece of fall decor in my hubby’s man cave garage. Because apparently this is how you sneak fall decor into a golf-obsessed husband’s space. 😉⛳️

Honestly, I think these would be such a fun DIY golf gift idea too! If you want my full step by step tutorial, comment “golf” below and I’ll send it your way! 

Would your husband approve of these golf ball pumpkins, or would he tell you to leave his man cave alone?! 😂👇🏻

That’s how adulting works, right?! 🤣

Consider this your reminder that the laundry, emails, errands, cleaning, and never-ending to-do list will still be there later. Sometimes you just need to romanticize your life and pretend you have absolutely nothing to do for a minute. 😂

If fall had an official breakfast, I’m pretty sure If fall had an official breakfast, I’m pretty sure this would be it. 🎃☕️🍂

I made this easy pumpkin pecan coffee cake to celebrate the start of fall, and y’all… I think I just found my new favorite pumpkin recipe!

The pumpkin coffee cake itself is incredibly soft and moist with all those warm pumpkin spice flavors, but the BEST part might be that buttery cinnamon pecan streusel topping. 🤤 It gives every bite the perfect little crunch!

And despite how good it looks, this recipe is actually SO easy to make. You don’t even need a stand mixer, just a couple of bowls, a baking dish and about 10 minutes of prep!

It’s the perfect easy fall breakfast for a slow weekend morning with a cup of coffee, but it would also be SO good for a fall brunch, Thanksgiving morning or even dessert.

Basically, if you’re looking for an excuse to start baking all the pumpkin recipes… this is it. 😂🎃

Save this easy pumpkin coffee cake recipe for your fall baking list, and comment “PUMPKIN” below and I’ll send you the full recipe! 👇🏻

I caught Toby doing a little DIY cobweb removal on the porch… except instead of just knocking the spiderwebs down, I’m pretty sure he was EATING them. 😂 Sir??? We have actual cat food inside.

I have no idea when spiderwebs became a cat snack, but apparently Toby would give them 10/10. At this point, I might as well put him to work around the rest of the house. If you’re going to eat cobwebs, buddy, at least get the ones in the corners too. 🤣

Anyone else have a cat who does the most unexplainable things?! Please tell me Toby isn’t the only one. 👇🏻

If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, le If you only make ONE pumpkin dessert this fall, let it be this one. 🎃🤤

This ooey gooey pumpkin butter cake has been one of my favorite fall desserts for YEARS, and once you see that gooey center, you’ll understand why!

It starts with a buttery yellow cake mix crust and then gets topped with the most decadent pumpkin cream cheese filling flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. And the best part? You actually WANT the middle to stay a little gooey. 👏🏻

It’s basically what would happen if pumpkin pie, cheesecake and gooey butter cake all got together and created the ultimate fall dessert. 😂

This would be SO good for a fall party, Halloween get-together or even Thanksgiving if you want something different from traditional pumpkin pie!

Save this post so you have an easy pumpkin dessert recipe ready for fall baking season. 🍂

And obviously, the first day of fall deserves to be celebrated with a homemade fall treat… so now the only question is: what should I bake today?!

There’s something extra special about a golf weekend in Asheville, NC, especially when you get to experience a beautiful course like Walnut Cove and see professional golfers in action. And while I may not know everything happening on the course 😂, I can definitely appreciate the atmosphere, the views, and a good excuse for a fun weekend out!

Western North Carolina really does have some of the prettiest places. 🤍

Valentine’s Day Gift Basket Ideas

If you like to celebrate the season of love like I do, and are looking for some easy gift ideas, then I got you covered! Whether you are looking for thoughtful gifts for your significant other, mom, sister, best friend, etc.; hopefully the below list will give you some inspiration! So be sure to check out all my Valentine’s Day gift basket ideas and let me know which one if your favorite!

There are so many fun ideas to make the perfect gift basket for someone special in your life! And, you don’t have to go all out to create some fun little gift baskets!

Just add in some of their favorite things and a handwritten note and you’re good to go! But, if you love a good theme, like I do, then be sure to check out all my fun ideas below! 

Valentine's Day Gift Basket Ideas

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full privacy policy for more details.

Spa Gift Basket

If you’re trying to figure out a good gift basket idea for your best friend, mom, or sister; then I think a spa gift basket idea is the way to go! Just fill it up with some bath bombs and some other self-care gifts.

Valentine's Gift Basket Ideas

Such as body lotion, face masks, nail polish, skincare, a cozy blanket, etc. And depending on how much you want to spend on it, you could even add in a spa or nail salon gift card to it as well.

Some of my favorite skincare brands are TULA Skincare and DIME Beauty. So I always love to add in a few of my favorite pieces from these clean skincare companies.

That way my friends and family can try them out too and see for themselves why I love them! It’s the perfect present because you can fill the basket with practical items that they are bound to use and love!

And I always love a good self care package myself, so I think it makes for a great gift idea too! 

Valentines Day Gift Basket Ideas

Baking Lover Gift Basket

Another fun idea, especially for the baking lover in your life, is to create a whole basket themed around baking! Which I actually did for my mom this year.

I know she loves when I make some of my homemade vanilla extract. And I was running out of it myself, and I thought she may be running out of it too. So that’s actually what inspired me to write this post.

Homemade Vanilla Extract For Valentine's Day

I decided to create a whole gift basket themed around the vanilla extract and baking since it goes so well together. And since Valentine’s Day was coming up, and I am super extra and love to create themed gifts for the people I love!

To go along with the vanilla extract, I added in a cute valentines day themed tea towel, and of course a baking themed candle from my favorite, Antique Candle Co.! If I had more time, I was also going to add my cookie in a jar gift idea too.

Ideas For Filling Valentine's Day Gift Basket

And instead of using red and green M&M’s for Christmas, I was going to use some pink and red Valentine’s Day themed ones! But, I ran out of time unfortunately. Maybe next year though! 

Sweet Tooth Lover

This kind of goes along with the baking theme, but if the person you are gifting this to doesn’t actually bake, then this is a great idea for them.

You could just fill up a gift basket with sweet treats such as decadent chocolates and gourmet treats like speciality popcorn. And you don’t even have to spend a ton of money on gourmet chocolate.

You could just fill it up with some Hershey’s Kisses, dark chocolates, and some other traditional Valentine’s Day candy instead. That would make a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for a teacher or neighbor or something like that.

Heart Shaped Basket
I found this cute basket on Amazon, which is perfect for creating a whole Valentine’s Day gift basket idea. I will link it below too!

And you could just wrap that in a cellophane bag instead of a whole basket to make it even easier too! You could even get some cookie bouquets delivered from professional gift baskets delivery services too!

That way, you wouldn’t have to do much work at all! Whatever gourmet delights and favorite treats you want to fill this up with will definitely make for a memorable Valentine’s Day gift basket for someone you love! 

Enjoy These Valentine’s Gift Basket Ideas!

No matter which one of the above Valentine’s Day gift baskets you choose to do, I am sure it will be the perfect way to celebrate someone you love! If you’re looking for more unique gifts rather than just a box of chocolates, then doing a themed gift basket is a great option!

Or if you want to just have a Valentine’s Day celebration at home, I’ve got some ideas for that too. You could always make your significant other some homemade chocolate covered strawberries and make a delicious seared filet mignon for dinner on February 14th!

And to add in a personal touch, simply just write a thoughtful love letter. So whether you make your own Valentine’s Day basket, or spend time together baking and cooking together in the kitchen, you’re bound to have a nice, relaxing night and enjoy each other’s company.

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine’s Day my friends and enjoying celebrating those you love! And let me know if you do celebrate Valentine’s Day, what are some of your favorite ways to enjoy the day?? Let me know below! I always love to hear how other people celebrate too!

This is one of those tried-and-true recipes I make whenever we’re grilling because it literally goes with EVERYTHING. Burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, ribs, grilled chicken—you name it, and a big bowl of creamy potato salad belongs right beside it. 🙌🏻

And with football season officially here, this easy Southern potato salad is the perfect game day side dish for backyard cookouts, tailgates, football parties, or an easy fall weekend dinner.

It’s classic, creamy, comforting, and one of those recipes everyone keeps going back for another scoop of!

So if your ideal fall weekend involves football on the TV, something delicious cooking on the grill, and all the classic Southern sides, you need to save this one. 😍

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.

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?!

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?! 🎃
