Pin There’s always a bittersweet feeling when Halloween rolls around. As the night grows older and the doorbell stops ringing, it feels as if a new page is about the be turned. One that nears the end of Autumn. That might sound strange to say considering we have a month left of the season, but […]

This past week, I’d say the blog hit a few minor milestones. For the first time ever, I got to outwardly promote the blog…in front of people. And I got cute little business cards to help promote it!

Checking out each scent, they totally transported me from a late Summer’s day right to when the […]

It’s freakin’ Fall, ya’ll! Reflecting about the season, it amazes me how many people have come out as Fall enthusiasts over the last few years. Maybe it’s the influence of the cozy images on Pinterest. Maybe it’s the Pumpkin Spice anything and everything. Pin Whatever the reason, I sit here and realize that nature is […]

Here we are in the midst of decking the halls, and I’m over here in disbelief that it’s almost the middle of December! Where time goes, I’ll never know… Since I took a small break in the Fall from blogging, I wanted to share some photos of when we went to a sunflower field and […]

Happy Fall, my friends! It’s the first day of the season and you know I’m excited! The weather is starting to cool off and I can’t wait until we’re in the 60’s so we can break out some cozier clothes and the boots. I’ve already decorated the basement a few weeks ago (where we’re currently […]
