Take time out of your day to create art, memories and joy.

With the clock constantly ticking, don’t miss out on living in the moment!

P.S. we found this wooden leaf (along with a Halloween cat and a few others) at Target just a few weeks ago. With project Christmas underway in stores, you never know what fall finds you might come across in the post-season section - heck they might even be on sale!

How cute is this little B O O pumpkin?

We love a cute craft, especially ones that involve creating memories (and a mess 😉) with our kiddos.

If you have a few extra pumpkins laying around, grab some paint, a few paint brushes, and maybe an art smock.

Happy painting! 🎨🖌️🎃

Spooky season is bringing out the crawlers! My boys loved making these DIY spiders - simple, fun and a great way to add a “creepy” feel to our Halloween décor.

All you need are black pipe cleaners and some googly eyes (optional).

One knot, a few bends to create the legs and your spider is ready to crawl….. right on to our skeleton apparently.

Whether you enjoy our as aromatherapy, a scented candle, in a floral arrangement or dried stems, there are so many ways to enjoy eucalyptus plants.

Eucalyptus plants are fast-growing evergreen trees, native to Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia and can grow to be 300 feet tall. The most common variety of eucalyptus tree is called blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus). Its name comes from the foliage color: blue-green.

If you’re looking to add a eucalyptus tree to your home life, keep these care tips in mind:
- choose a sunny spot in your home (by a south facing window is best)
- plant in well-draining soil
- water regularly
- when planted indoors, fertilize with liquid feed every few weeks in the spring
- regularly prune to keep the growth in check and maintain the desired shape

Outside of the beauty and scent, there are countless benefits of eucalyptus. Some of these benefits include: relief from stuffy nose, insect bites, arthritis pain, anxiety, gingivitis and other conditions.

The benefits of plants just keeps growing!

This year, we added a new element to our front porch display. I came across this wooden rocking chair at my husband’s grandfather’s house, which was set to be included in the estate sale.

I looked, pondered and decided to leave it. Fast forward to design day and while I liked how the color palette, containers and pumpkin palooza came together, there was still something missing.

The chair was exactly what I needed and lucky for me, I caught it right before all was getting assigned for auction.

So here we are….. a completed front porch, with a personal family touch…. and the perfect front door greeter who smiles and doesn’t say a word!

We are loving how this BOO-tiful space came together!

With the leaves falling, crispness in the air and cooler temps, take time to reset your mind and body.

It’s amazing what a 10 minute walk in nature can do for your mental health. Can you commit to 10 minutes a day?

P.S. this Cinnamon Apple Spice herbal tea from Celestial Seasonings is the perfect way to warm up from the inside out.

Popping in to share a fun design tip with you all….

If you’re no longer filling your birdbath with water (our temps are creeping down into the 30’s at night - ugh!), relocate it to your front entryway and incorporate into your design. Display a trailing hanging basket, or in this case an ornamental pepper basket, and dress it up with pumpkins and gourds.

A fresh look with a garden accent repurposed.
