I just had to share my warm and cozy farmhouse fall decorating ideas before I added my Halloween stuff. It’s been tricky this year to stay on top of everything because I’ve been feeling really crappy the last month or so. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, which I know is quite common, but…

Farmhouse Halloween Front Porch Decor
I am still in love with having a porch. I love porches…I have so many memories of sitting on the front porch of the various places I’ve lived and eating popsicles, chatting with neighbors, watching sunsets, and visiting with friends and family. And since I’ve been married, I haven’t had a proper front porch until…
Fall Mantel Decor
The biggest project I completed this year, besides growing a human being inside my body and then giving birth, was my hearth and mantel. It has completely changed the look of my living room! I was so happy to be invited by Sonya of At Home With the Barkers to be part of her fall…
Fall Bucket List
Fall is my favorite time of year and it always flies by so fast. And each year towards the beginning of winter, I always feel like there was something I wanted to do, but forgot or didn’t make time for. But no more! I am making a Fall Bucket List so I can try to…
Rustic Wood Pumpkins
These rustic wood pumpkins are simple and classic. I love this decor for autumn and Halloween. If you aren’t comfortable with saws, you could have the home improvement store cut it for you, right while you’re picking up your 4×4. I love 4×4 wood…it’s so versatile for crafting. I actually found my 4×4 in…
Caramel Apple Cake Recipe
It’s apple season! I have such good memories of apple picking season growing up…eating the crisp, ripe apples, eating the baked goods my mom made, even selling apples outside Cougar Stadium for $0.25 each. My parents have lots of apple trees so this year I went and picked a bunch and now I get to…
12 Cozy Fall Fashions
It’s finally cool enough to start thinking about fall fashions: sweaters, cardigans, and scarves. I’ve tried to wear them in the past few weeks, but always abandon them shortly after putting them on due to the heat. But I’m currently wearing a cardigan, jeans, and boots, and the prospect of months more of these types…
Favorite Fall Boots
This September has been hot and cold, but mostly hot. I’m excited that October has the prospect of true, cool fall weather, accompanied by one of my favorite things about the fall…boots! Well, boots and clothes. But mostly the boots. I actually wore some fall boots last week to a thing I had and I…
Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Brownies
This post is sponsored and written in behalf of McCormicks and MomitForward. All opinions are 100% mine. Fall is the best time for baking, right? Every Autumn I find myself itching to bake all sorts of yummy things, and lots of times after hours of making a huge mess and following elaborate instructions, I end…
Fall Mantle
September is fall, right? Sometimes it’s hard to remember when the temperatures are still hot and the trees seem to be taking their sweet time changing colors. Well I brought it indoors! The entire summer I was feeling kind of BLAH about projects and decorating…I was super burned out. I knew that I needed to…
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s officially cooling down here and that means Soup’s on! I make about 90% of my soups in my crock pot. And here’s a special little story…my very own contributor, Melissa from Bless this Mess, made me some chicken noodle soup about 6 years ago. Why? Because she saw I was having a rough day….
