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?! 🎃

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. 👇🏻

🎃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”? 🎃🐈

Where To Stay In Brevard, NC

This past week, we had the incredible experience of going to Brevard for a couple of days. So I figured I would share exactly where to stay in Brevard, NC with you all too.

That way, if you’re looking to plan a trip, you will know exactly where to book and where to go as well. Because trust me, you don’t want to miss this place!

We were lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Meraki Escape and I am telling you, this is the ultimate couples getaway! If you’re celebrating an anniversary, an elopement, Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or really just need an excuse to get away for a little bit with your spouse, this is the place.

Not only is the cabin beautiful and full of amenities, but they offer several unique packages and experiences as well! I will be highlighting everything we did during our two night stay there in this post for you.

And honestly, two nights was not enough! I would love to be able to stay a full week there. It was truly so relaxing and much needed for me and my hubby! So if you’re needing a romantic escape too, keep on reading to see just how truly magical Meraki is!

Sunset Views

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 Disclosure policy for more details.

Ukiyo Cabin

We stayed in the Ukiyo Cabin and it was none other than perfect. Right now, there are two cozy cabins on the property, and they have plans on expanding eventually as well. But all the amenities the cabin offered inside was truly incredible. We really had everything we needed, and more!

Cabin Name

Bedroom

One thing I can appreciate now that I am older when traveling is having a nice firm mattress and a ceiling fan, blasted on high, when sleeping.

Meraki Bedroom
Bed

And I am happy to report that our cabin had both so we were really able to rest and sleep well. The cabin is also dog friendly, so there is a crate and everything you need for your furry friend too, which is always a nice touch.

Dog Supplies

And, I always love a nice, plush hotel robe, and Meraki has them hanging and ready to go in your bedroom closet too.

Robes

There is also a washer and dryer as well as room darkening curtains, so you can sleep in as late as you want to!

Laundry

And right before you enter the bedroom, there is a huge shelf of books! Which is right up my alley too. I absolutely love to read, so it’s nice to know if you forgot a book, they have you completely covered with all their reading material too!

Book View

Bathroom

I think it goes without saying that the best part of the bathroom is the spa shower. It is a walk-In with dual shower heads, body jets and rainfall shower head too.

Shower

Plus, it is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash too. In the shower itself, there is a skylight and a bench too so you truly have everything you need to enjoy a nice long and hot shower!

Shower Supplies

I also loved that there is a vanity area in the bathroom so when you’re getting ready, you have a nice spot to do so. There is also an ample supply of mouthwash and lotion ready to go, and not only is there a hairdryer, but a straightener too!

Vanity

I always think that hotels should have this option as well. It’s so nice to have that and not have to bring your own from home!

Bathroom

Also, the bathroom was fully stocked with not only bathroom towels, but towels for the hot tub outside too which was so nice to be able to grab and go!

Bathroom View

Living Room

The living room and kitchen area are a nice and open concept so even though the cabin is small, you feel like you have plenty of room! Plus, there is a gas fireplace in the living room too which I am always a fan of as well.

Living Room

And of course, the wi-fi in the cabin was strong and worked really well too. As far as streaming services go for the TV, there is Youtube TV, so you are pretty much able to watch whatever show you want! The leather sofa was super comfy to relax on and watch our favorite shows.

Inside Cabin

Kitchen

I absolutely loved the kitchen in this place! It was fully stocked with every kind of drink ware you could possibly need, as well as plenty of plates and silverware too.

Kitchen View

I also loved the fact that there were plenty of spices and cooking oil for you to use too. When I’m on vacation, I always hate grocery shopping and trying to get all those basic things, because usually I always forget them. So it’s nice that I didn’t even have to worry about it here!

Spices in Kitchen

Another one of my favorite things, was that the fridge was fully stocked with farm fresh eggs for us to use, as well as other breakfast items such as bagels and oatmeal too.

Farm Fresh Eggs

Plus, there was lemon infused water in a pitcher (as well as bottled water) for us to use and enjoy too!

Water

I just love little thoughtful touches like that when we are staying somewhere. There were also several coffee options as well.

Coffee on Porch

And even a cute little hot cocoa bar to enjoy too! The attention to detail in this cabin was nothing short of amazing!

Hot Cocoa Bar

Another thing I loved was the juicer! And we were even supplied with fresh oranges to use it with. So naturally we had freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. And even made a mimosa or two with them as well!

Juicer
OJ
Freshly Squeezed OJ Mimosas

Exterior

The exterior of the cabin is really just as amazing as the interior of it! Of course, my favorite feature was the hot tub! Y’all know we have one at home too and absolutely love it.

Hot Tub Deck Views

So I always require a hot tub when we stay somewhere on vacation too. There is nothing like soaking in a hot tub to help relieve all my aching joints!

Hot Tub Deck
Us in Hot Tub
Hot Tub
Views From Hot Tub
Sunset Views From Hot Tub

And once you’re used to that life, there is no going back! Plus, the outdoor deck offered incredible views too. And you can even use the privacy curtains around the hot tub, while still enjoying the view outside too.

Hot Tub

On the deck there is also a fire table, which we enjoyed nightly! And there is a Weber grill outside too so if you want to throw anything on the grill for dinner, you could easily do so!

Fire Table on Deck

Like I already mentioned, the views from the outdoor deck were incredible. We even had a full moon the first night we were there, so the porch was beautifully lit from that.

Full Moon

You can also see Lake Jocassee from out in the distance too!

Sunset View

So as you can see, the outside of the cabin truly is just as magical as the inside too!

Porch Furniture
Fire Table
Deck View

Meraki Experiences

Well, now you know where to stay in Brevard, NC! But Meraki is more than just a luxury cabin stay, they also offer so many cool experiences as well!

Couples Massage

We were able to do a couples massage one day and they come directly in your cabin and set everything up for you. That way, you don’t even have to leave to enjoy the massage, which is so nice!

Us After Couples Massage

Another experience we did was have a private chef, Amber Cate, come in and make us a phenomenal three course meal.

Burrata Salad

Everything was so delicious and again, it was so nice to be able to just sit back and relax and not even worry about dinner! If you’re local to the Asheville area like us, Chef Amber Cate also does catering options around the area too.

Shrimp and Scallops

So if you ever need a private chef for something, keep her in mind because literally our dinner was one of the best meals we’ve ever had!

Dessert

A Free Gift With Your Stay!

Well, if I haven’t convinced you by now that you need to take a trip to Brevard, NC and stay at Meraki, maybe this will sweeten the deal even more!

Gift Basket

They were nice enough to give me a coupon code for you all. Just use “MACEDONIA” when checking out to receive a locally curated gift basket (worth over $125!). It will be filled with all sorts of local goods and gifts!

Gift Basket Goodies
Baked Goods

Package Requirements/Terms:

  • Valid for new reservations only
  • Minimum 2-night stay required
  • Must enter promo code MACEDONIA at booking
  • Cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions

  • Not valid on holidays or during the months of July, October and November

Kitchen Table

Well, I hope you guys are able to check Meraki Escape out sometime soon! I promise you won’t be disappointed! This was definitely one of our favorite couples trips we have ever taken and we will for sure be back sometime. We would love to spend an anniversary here for sure!

Fresh Flowers

Have you ever visited Brevard before too?! Let me know below! I’ll be sharing all the fun things to do in downtown Brevard here soon, so be sure to keep on the lookout for that as well!

🎃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”? 🎃🐈
