The Holidays are upon us! I absolutely love October – December! This time of the year is packed with everything! Halloween, friends, family, Thanksgiving, traveling, cooler weather, and of course CHRISTMAS! I am getting a head start on gifts this year (fingers crossed), and I am happy to share with you my Holiday Gift Guide […]
“Now it’s been 300 years, right down to the day. Now the witch is back! And there’s hell to pay….” Just like the Sanderson Sisters (I mean, really, I’m like the 4th sister), I am BACK! Okay, okay, I wasn’t gone for that long! Life has been crazy around here! But, I am so happy […]
“Autumn is my favorite color.” This is definitely one of my favorite fall quotes after my cousin painted it on a sign last year. I don’t mind being so basic, because truly do I love fall. I love pumpkins. I love sweater weather. I love apple cider, pumpkin spice, booties, and scarves. So call me […]
Fall … The air is crisp. Fall candles are lit. The house is decorated. You have a fresh mug of coffee. You can hear the leaves crunch outside. And you smell the fresh baked goods in the oven. This is my idea of a perfect fall day. I asked my Insta buddies over on the […]
Zack and I love to travel. We were both bit by the travel bug separately as teenagers, both traveling all over the world from youth to adulthood. Ironically enough, we never went to any of the same places! He traveled as a teenager to South Africa, New Zealand, and all over the US. When he […]
I can smell fall in the air. Okay, maybe that’s just my fall candles. It is still hot down here in Florida, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pretend, right? Over on the Gram, a ton of yall have voted for recipes for fall. So I set out to wrangle up all of my favorite […]
Why do I love to do so many things homemade? Generally because it’s more affordable, but also because I can control what goes into the product. Typically when I make homemade cleaners, it falls into both categories affordable + control. *This post does have affiliated links. By you purchasing through these links, I receive a […]
About 2.5 years ago, I moved from my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee to Orlando, Florida. There are distinct differences in the two states, but a common misconception is that it is much hotter in Florida than it is in Tennessee. Let me go ahead and bust that myth for ya! In my experience, Florida and […]
Is there a recipe your mom made when you were growing up that is just nostalgic for you? That’s this squash casserole for me! My mama made this super easy dish to help us be able to enjoy the taste of squash that none of us had much of a liking for. Now, I love […]
Y’all, I have got the itch. The “all things fall” itch. Usually August is always a tough month for me when it comes to decorating. I was always starting school in August as either a student or a classroom teacher, and so it was a weird spot to be in–“summer” being over, school being in, […]
Eggs are not my favorite food. I actually used to hate them, and I rarely ever eat them plain. Anybody else with me on this one?! But, I know eggs are better for you than cereal, so alas, I cook the eggs. I typically try to hide the eggs flavor with loads of sauteed veggies […]
How is it already August? Here’s to the hottest part of the year in Florida, and me still in jeans. Okay, I will definitely step it up next year with dresses and shorts, but this pick of the month is based on the overwhelming love on an Instagram post. I was heading to my hometown […]
Easy Side Item that is a Total Crowd Pleaser!
My friend Katie was in town in June, and we had a big week planned while she was here! We did all of the typical Central Florida shenanigans (Disney, Universal, a few beach days). Katie has a cousin that lives just 2 hours away from us in St. Petersburg, Florida. We decided to take a […]
Appetizers, apps, appies, quick eats, bites… whatever you want to call them–I love them! I love to go to restaurants and order appetizers. I love to sample different appetizer recipes. I love to have appetizers when going to dinner parties. But, I think I love serving appetizers the best. Why? They satisfy cravings, can be […]
Need a quick appetizer (or even meal replacement) that includes veggies but is still delightful? Yall gotta try out this quick and delicious fix: homemade avocado hummus. My MIL, Cheryl, started making this a couple of years ago, and my sister and I hopped on that bandwagon so fast. This recipe is simple and arguably […]
Has anybody ever had the Tomato Caprese with Fresh Burrata from Carrabba’s? I am so obsessed with it. My teacher friends and I would hit up Carrabba’s for their stellar happy hour, which always included half off of the apps. I love the fresh burrata cheese that they use for their tomato caprese. It is […]
So I totally intended on doing just one outfit pick of the month for July, but I asked yall during a quick coffee chat what you wanted on my Insta Stories… I was so surprised that 90% of you wanted to see another outfit for July! Yall know, I just don’t put a lot of […]
Anyone else get crazy when there are dirt spots on your carpet? I know I do! I really need to just invest in a big mama carpet cleaner! I love keeping my rugs clean and looking new as long as possible, because those bad boys are not cheap! Especially in high traffic areas, I try […]
Not sure about yall, but I cannot stand the microwave being gross! It doesn’t matter how well I cover a dish, food always gets caked everywhere! After weeks, it just builds up and drives me crazy. If you’ve tried, you know simple water or multipurpose spray doesn’t help the grease either! I’ve found the best […]
