Wild “One” & Unicorn Birthday Party Recap!

Yesterday we officially celebrated Audrey and Tommy’s birthdays! Audrey has been requesting a unicorn party – so we tried our best to make that happen! For Tommy, we did a Wild “One” theme and I honestly kept it VERY simple and super cost effective!

I know I have mentioned before that I have hoarder tendencies when it comes to party decorations. I throw any decor that is clean and able to be stored into bins in the basement for future use. When it’s party time, I shop those bins to find things/take inventory that could be used for the party before heading out to buy anything new!

Friday Favorites – 09.11.20

2 Comments

Happy Friday! We all survived the first week back at school! Our routine has been working out great, and honestly should have been something we were doing ALL. SUMMER. LONG! Who am I kidding, we loved the late nights and sleeping in, but having this structure has been really good for all of us!

As always, sharing my favorites from this week! We have Audrey and baby T’s birthday party this weekend and of course, I am not ready whatsoever, but it is going to be a small get together, so it won’t be anything too over the top anyway!

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.

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!
