Party, Party

This weekend was filled with non-stop fun and excitement. Friday night, I went to my cousin’s volleyball game that happen to be in town. She looked so cute in her little uniform and I couldn’t believe she was already in high school. It keeps blowing my mind. After the game, my cousin, aunt and I met up with Kevin for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We didn’t end up eating until around 9:45, so I was starving but it was so good to have Roadhouse rolls. Since dinner was so late, we all didn’t get back to our house til around 11:00, so we pretty much all went to sleep. It was really good to get to see my aunt and cousin and catch up on things.

 

Saturday was pretty eventful as well. After my aunt and cousin left, I spent the afternoon working on blog stuff and answering emails. Then, my friend Lauren picked me up to get ready for our friend Jackie’s birthday dinner. It was Jackie’s 23rd birthday, so a lot of us girls all got dressed up and went to dinner to celebrate. Little did Jackie know, we had also been planning a surprise party for after dinner that included a lot of our guy friends as well. She was completely surprised so that was awesome to see her face.

 

After a late night Saturday, it was really hard to get up for church Sunday morning. But, Kevin and I really enjoyed church which was followed by a meeting and then by bible study prep at our house. Now, when did I rest? Um…. I didn’t (insert sad face here) Hopefully next weekend I get some rest! I hope your weekend was good!

  • One piece of wood + a little creativity = the cutest fall DIY. 🍂🎃

I love when you can take something you already have and turn it into something completely new for your home. The DEWALT 20V MAX 12-inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw made cutting these wood slices so much easier, and then it was just a little paint + a few simple finishing touches to bring my idea to life.

If you’re ready to tackle a fall project of your own, @homedepot has the tools and supplies to help you get started. 🤎

  • #AD I love seeing kids get opportunities to learn by doing. 🔨

The Home Depot just launched Skills Explorers, a new Path to Pro curriculum created in partnership with Scouting America for youth ages 11–17 that introduces them to hands-on skills like carpentry, electrical work, and other skilled trades.

It’s a chance to build practical skills, confidence, and maybe discover an interest or future possibility they hadn’t considered before.

If you have a kid or teen who loves building, making, or figuring out how things work, this is definitely worth exploring. 🤍

  • 🎃 Halloween gift ideas just got a whole lot cuter.

These Halloween icon glasses make the BEST little Halloween gifts! 👻 I filled each one with an eye mask, hand sanitizer, lip balm, candy + a mini clip for a gift that’s fun, useful, and actually leaves them with something they can keep.

Perfect for Halloween parties, girls’ night, teacher gifts, coworkers, or neighbors. 🧡

✨ COMMENT “SHOP” and I’ll send you the links!

  • IYKYK… 👀🎄 An icon-style glass for $5?! At @pOpshelf?! Say less. #pOpshelfPartner

And it wasn’t the only find that had me doing a double take—the $3 dish, $5 drum candle and $10 décor find were TOO good.

I’m loving how these affordable Christmas finds came together to create that high-end, collected look without the high-end price tag. ✨

If you’re decorating for Christmas, head to your local pOpshelf before your favorites sell out!
