There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had t Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had their pinky toenail almost completely fall off for absolutely no reason?

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail

Although… when you already deal with chronic GI issues every day, would you even notice the difference? 🤣

Any other gardeners having a rough harvest this year, or is it just me? 🌿🍅🥒

Valentines Day Wooden Craft Ideas

Y’all know I am all about finding easy DIY projects to do. Especially for seasonal decor such as Valentine’s Day. So today I thought I would share with you all my Valentines Day wooden craft ideas. I’ve made a few fun ones this season and I am hoping it will give you some ideas when it comes to wood crafts.

These adorable Valentine crafts would make for perfect gift for someone you love as well. I’ll be using my amazing Glowforge Aura machine to make these easy crafts and I will share below just how easy it is to do. And the best part is that these crafts do not require a high skill level or master woodworking skills at all to complete either.

DIY Valentine’s Day Earrings

Y’all know one of my absolute favorite things to make with my Aura machine is wooden earrings. And the best part is I can usually use up pieces of my scrap wood to make these earrings as well. They are small in size, so they don’t require a lot of space!

To make them, I just found a design I liked in the Glowforge software, and then printed them out. I also used Gorilla Tape to get rid of the masking tape on the wood pieces after they were printed out.

DIY Painted Earrings

Then, for the fun part, I decided to paint them using these fun acrylic paint pens. This set I got has every color you could possibly imagine. And the pens have a bigger tip and a fine tip for more detail work. Which makes painting small earrings like this much easier! 

I think these acrylic paint pens need to be one of your staples when it comes to your craft supplies! For the earrings, I did a few coats each and then let them dry about 20 minutes in between before adding the new coat. 

Finished DIY Wooden Valentines Earrings

After the paint was dry, I added on some jewelry hooks to make them wearable and that’s it! The finished product looks so cute! If you wanted to make these even easier and leave the earrings more neutral, you don’t even have to paint them! The unfinished wood look to these valentine earrings are super pretty too!

You could keep these for yourself, or give them out as Valentine’s gifts too. How fun would these be to give out as Galentine’s Day party favors for all your girlfriends?!

DIY Valentine’s Day Recipe Board

Another fun Valentine’s Day craft is this cute little DIY recipe board I made. You may remember in the past I shared all about how to make laser engraved mini recipe boards. And this is basically the same idea.

Although, I just used a regular font for it and didn’t scan in someone’s actual handwriting. But, you totally could to make it an even more special Valentine’s Day gift for a loved one! That would be an incredible homemade gift for sure!

DIY Valentine's Day Wooden Recipe Board

But anyways, to make this, I just found some mini recipe boards and then masked them with tape. After that, I placed them in my Glowforge machine and engraved the “Recipe For Love” on the board. I also had extra scrap wood laying around and cut out a little heart too.

Then, I paint the heart and removed all the extra masking tape from the board once it was done printing. Once my little heart was dry, I glued it onto the board using some hot glue.

The finishing touch was to add a themed ribbon on top of the board as well. I absolutely love this new Valentine’s Day decor piece I made, and it looks perfect on a tiered tray for display! 

DIY Valentine’s Day Place Settings

Another adorable Valentine’s Day craft idea is to make these super cute word place settings. This project probably took the longest, just because I had to print out a total of 6 different place settings for it. And each place setting had different sweet messages on it, so not one is the same! 

​I thought about painting these place settings too once they were done printing, but decided they looked perfect just the way they were! The unfinished wood looks great against my DIY stained paper hearts in my opinion too! 

These DIY place settings were the perfect touch to celebrating this romantic holiday with your loved ones. Especially if you are planning on staying in and cooking a romantic meal together like we are too! 

DIY Valentine's Day Wooden Place Settings

I hope you enjoyed all these easy wooden valentine’s day crafts I shared and I hope you are able to make some yourself too. And this is your sign if you were considering getting a Glowforge Aura machine, to do so now!!

You can do so many fun Valentine’s Day craft ideas, as well as even other holiday imaginable too! And you can make everything according to your own personal taste too!

So be sure to check it out more if you are considering it, and please let me know if you have any questions at all! Have a happy Valentine’s Day my friends and have fun crafting!

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would they say about you? 😂🐈 The tea they could spill would probably be wild! Would they call you the best cat parent ever… or expose all your embarrassing habits? 😹

I’m hoping my cats have mostly good things to say because I may have slightly bribed them this year with a cozy heated cat bed from @kneadcats 🤭 If there’s one way to earn the title of “favorite human,” it’s giving your spoiled indoor cats the warmest nap spot in the house!

Tell me… would your cat hype you up or totally roast you?👇🏻 If you don’t think so, use my code “MACEDONIA” to get $10 off a cat bed for your furry friend too! 😻

POV: Your husband suddenly becomes a golf coach af POV: Your husband suddenly becomes a golf coach after playing a few rounds… 😂⛳️

My husband has been really into golf lately, which apparently means it’s now his mission to teach me how to play. The only problem? I’m not totally convinced he’s qualified for the job. 🤣

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Tell me… is your spouse always trying to teach you their favorite hobby too, or is it just mine? ⛳️😂

Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had t Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had their pinky toenail almost completely fall off for absolutely no reason?

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail

Although… when you already deal with chronic GI issues every day, would you even notice the difference? 🤣

Any other gardeners having a rough harvest this year, or is it just me? 🌿🍅🥒
