I can’t get enough of the rustic wood plank signs with typography that are in all the home furnishing stores right now. I decided I needed to make a fall sign for Thanksgiving and I wanted it to show off my super cute kids so I’ve added a photo collage from our outings to the …
Fall is all about pumpkins, cider and fresh baked pies. Am I right?! Especially pumpkin pie! To me there is nothing quite like the scent of a homemade pumpkin pie baking in my oven on a crisp fall day. And a perfect pie crust made from scratch makes that pie all the sweeter {wink}. Thanksgiving is just a …
I love having inviting decor welcoming my friends and family as they enter my home. Last week I shared with you my new fall wreath that I embellished with paper flowers in rich, gorgeous colors of autumn. Today I am sharing how to make this pretty Welcome Sign embellished in gold foil. I love the way it …
Each fall I love to decorate my front porch with pumpkins, gourds, and a beautiful fall wreath. It sets such a warm and inviting welcome to all my friends and family. This year I moved and I don’t have a front porch… we’re building though so don’t pity me just yet. {wink} I do however have …
We play with our food around here! This simple and fun idea for Thanksgiving Rice Krispies Treats will keep the kids busy painting (with chocolate) while you slave away in the kitchen… or nibble on the sweets while your mom cooks.

I love a monogram and right now they’re all the rage down South as wreaths. I just went for a quick visit to see my dad and brother and let me tell you… almost every door had a monogram wreath of some sort hanging from it! You can say I was inspired to create this …
We’re an outdoor bunch! My kids and I would rather hike in the woods, play sports and just in general be out of the house. In the fall especially, we get out as much as possible before the weather turns and we’re forced to hibernate. One of the downfalls of living in the Midwest. {smirk} …
Ever carve a fabulous pumpkin or make an adorable pumpkin craft only to have the darn thing whither up on you?! I have! But, not this year. Instead of using a real pumpkin I’m using an artifical Funkin to make this easy-to-create monogram pumpkin. JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores has Funkins! You know, the artificial carvable foam …
For my Harvest Party Collection photo shoot, pumpkins weren’t yet in season so we crafted paper pumpkins in various shapes and sizes. They’re very simple to make and a wonderful kids craft for the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. And, if you live in a warm climate like I did when I was a kid, these …
Have a hue hunt with paint chips this fall! All you need are some free paint chips from the paint section of the hardware store. I had the best afternoon yesterday with my youngest (big brother was still in class) and we’re absolutely doing this again! We went for a fall hue hunt around the …
