Colorful Embellished Pumpkins

Fall is always a challenge for me decorating-wise. I LOVE the colors and scents and textures going on outside, but none of those things work so well for me INSIDE. Our home doesn’t have any rusts or reds or yellows, so this year… I decided to make fall decorating work for ME! Bring on the colorful embellished pumpkins!

Make Your Own Head Cut Out

This post is so silly, but I love it so much! My friend Caleb from You Can Make This Too, uses a cardboard cutout of his head and torso when he’s setting up a video to ensure proper focus. Essentially a cardboard stunt double so he can set up his shot properly. It always makes me chuckle when I see that cardboard head hovering in the background of his videos, so I had to make my own!

Setting a Colorful Table

There is zero reason for this colorful tablescape other than the fact that I had the best time mixing and matching and putting it all together! Also, I’m joining forces with a gaggle of color-loving ladies to share all sorts of colorful ideas today so there’s that also. One of my favorite blog posts was this rainbow glass wall I pulled together for our kitchen. Turns out, it was also one of the easiest blog posts since it involved thrifting some glassware and painting the rest!

I know there are 9 million YouTube videos of 10-year-olds making slime, but I just can’t figure it out. It’s either too stiff or too sticky or something. Which is my long winded way of saying, PLAY DOUGH IS MY JAM! This is the easiest play dough recipe ever. You can make 5 batches of playdough in under 20 minutes and under $5.

Labor Day is upon us which means back to school and SALES! With a large family, there are *always* basics that need to be replaced… towels, sheets, socks, donuts… I took full advantage of the Kohls White Sale running from 8/22-9/3 and refreshed a couple beds in our house that were in need of a little spiffing.

I LOVE taking vacation photos, but I haven’t put any of them in an album for years. Which is why I’m so excited to be sharing this idea for including at least a few of them into a fun craft!

There are FOUR lunch boxes that need to be packed every morning in our house. That’s A LOT of work that I have no interest in doing, so… I made a few changes to the way I organized the kitchen and ever since… my kids all pack their own lunch boxes. Here’s how!

Two weeks ago, we went to the beach. And all along the beach were these shells. I think they’re oyster shells, but I didn’t really care, because they just looked… like potential. I filled a bucket with them, and brought them home. My style isn’t nautical nor is it neutral, so the first thing I wanted to do was add color!
