Doesn’t Fall just put you in the mood for anything and everything pumpkin? I have always loved things like pumpkin muffins, pumpkin coffee, etc. However, I’ve never been a big fan of the texture of pumpkin {or any squash}. This soup is just the thing for me.

There’s not much I love more than a {basically} FREE furniture re-vamp! The husband’s parents gave us this desk a few weeks ago. It was in pretty bad shape, but the bones were great. I loved the shape of the piece, and it’s the perfect size for an accent table. What do you guys think? [...]

For a while now, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for little man’s class for Halloween this year. I wanted to do something cute that they would enjoy receiving, but that isn’t a bag-full of sugar! Plus, he’s in school at our church, so anything too scary or blatantly “Halloween” isn’t allowed.

As you might recall, we purchased our home early this year and it was boring-builder-grade! We have big plans for the place {eventually}, but for now I am trying to come up with affordable or free solutions to spice things up a bit. Now that I’ve started decorating little man’s room, I am itching to [...]
I know I’ve said it many times, but Fall is my FAVORITE season! There’s nothing better than the smell of Fall: the scent that brings recollections of playing in the leaves, the hint of a bonfire, and that crisp cool breeze. In order to bring this scent into my home, I have been testing out [...]
