September Coffee Stand Decor

Happy Tuesday! I already know, this week is going to FLY! School starts tomorrow and I have a bunch of errands to wrap up to make sure everything is in order!

Later this week I plan to get out my fall decor and decorate the house, but to get a jump start, I decided to start with my coffee stand!

I have so much fun changing up the decor on my coffee stand every month! To kick off Fall, I swapped out my summer decor with yellow and red fall vibes! Again, I like to inexpensively switch out this decor and subbing in seasonal vibes around a few standard pieces that are there always!! The Dollar Tree has AMAZING little items to help give you the vibe you are looking for!

Thrifty Thursday – Recent Garage Sale Flip – Silhouette Art

Good morning and happy Thursday! It’s Thrifty Thursday, and today I am sharing a little DIY project with a garage sale frame I found a month ago!

I picked up this picture frame for $2 at a garage sale – pretty sure it was brand new, and what I loved about it was that it was a neat size, there were three frames (obviously one spot for each kiddo) and it was in black and white – matching the color scheme of our living room!

September Reset: Routines and Budgeting

Good morning everyone – and happy September! I do LOVE September and fall vibes so much, but I am so so sad to see summer come to a close! I will start pulling out the fall decor after Labor Day – which will work perfect because if I’m honest, we are still unpacking from vacation!!!

Speaking of vacation – Audrey has been on one basically since March (well we all have, but she had school to report to) so picking back up on a routine will be huge and also our budgeting goals had gone on vacation too. COVID really threw a wrench in things and I’m ready to get back to normalcy!

Today, I thought I would share some ways on how I plan on getting back into a routine and a little budgeting challenge I plan to follow all month.

Happy Birthday T!

Instead of doing Tip Jar Tuesday today, I’m doing a birthday tribute to baby Tom Tom who just turned ONE! How did he just turn ONE?! Honestly, time is just flying by and I wish it would slow down already!

What I Cooked Wednesday – Yummy Peach Treats

We’ve had sooo many peaches around the house from our Peach Truck pick up a couple weeks ago! Some of the peaches were starting to take a turn for the worst, so I decided to make some yummy peach desserts. I LOVE apple crisp, so the first recipe is a spin on my apple crisp recipe I love this time subbing out apples with PEACHES!

The second yummy peach dessert – Baked Peaches with Whipped Cream – was made by a family friend and I just HAD to make them! She was kind enough to send me the recipe and WOW are these good! Shout out to Nicole – thank you for sharing!

A Day in the Life – August

Happy Tuesday! Today I am sharing a very BASIC day in the life post. I LOOOOOVEEEE reading these posts on other blogs! We got off to a really late start with our day all because of THIS POST! Did you see it?! I’m hoping you did because it took a super long time, but I feel it is such a great checklist of baby registry essentials!

Anyway, without further ado – here was our Monday! Quick note: don’t let this fool you – our days are always filled with ups and downs. Kids get upset, I lose my patience – these days can be a lot but at the end of the day, I try to remind myself they are short lived. This day in particular we were really “far” behind a normal schedule so that didn’t help much!

Motherhood Monday: Baby Registry Essentials – What you REALLY need

It’s Motherhood Monday! Today, I’m sharing some baby registry essentials for any Momma’s-to-be! I was pleasantly surprised that we had ALL the essentials covered from our first baby shower 5 years ago. I’ve seen so many new gizmos, gadgets and inventions come out and really did not invest in any.

Because I found myself content with what we had, I’m sharing the main things you REALLY need – no frills, just basics! These items worked for our family and sometimes I find – the less, the better!

A huge shout out to my former boss who assisted me in putting together the best list of items to include on my registry, the most patience when it came to explaining certain things and answering all my questions related to what to expect when becoming a Mom!
