Just your average Friday night corn stalk run. Seriously though, I can’t believe I had to pay for dead corns stalks. If I were back in Indiana right now, I’d just go cut some down. 😂
We finally settled on a theme for this year‘s haunted tunnel and these stalks will look perfect! I know it’s not a lot to go on, but does anyone want to guess what our theme is? #halloweendecor #halloweentime #halloweendecorating #momlife #momlifebestlife

I made these in September of last year and I don’t think I got rid of them until after Christmas. I used them as centerpieces on my Thanksgiving table and I used them as fall decorations on my front porch. All you need to remember is to spritz them every other day or so. The best thing about them is that I was able to replant the succulents in little pots and I still have them today. I have the full set of instructions of how to make these succulent pumpkin centerpieces over at Staying Blonde. Link in bio.
Here is all you need:
•Succulent cuttings
•Sheet moss
•Hot glue
•Pumpkin

Do you have an essential oil diffuser? Why not make it spooky?
For the month of October I like everything spooky inside and outside of my home. This easy diy Halloween decoration is cute and makes the house smell good. All you need is a diffuser, an inexpensive plastic cauldron and poly fiber-fill. I pull the fill around the diffuser opening, so the it doesn’t get too damp. To to make the project even easier, you can cut out the bottom of the cauldron so all you have to do is set the cauldron on top of your diffuser. I have the full set of directions in the link in my bio.
On another note, Who else used to love the show “Bewitched?” I remember watching reruns of it all the time as a kid. So of course, when I saw this song I had to use it! #diyhalloween #diyhalloweendecorations #diyhalloweendecor #essentialoils #essentialoildiffuser #halloweendecor #halloweenfun #halloweenideas #halloweendecorations

I already broke my promise! I promised myself that I would NOT buy any new Halloween decorations this year. I was doing great until I came across these light-up, floating pumpkins and had to have them! I think they are going to look great in our Halloween tunnel. If you want to check them out, I have them linked in my bio and in my stories. Have you started decorating for Halloween? #halloweendecor #halloweendecorations #floatingpumpkins #halloweenfun

Cue the fall dress. Fall in California tends to be pretty warm throughout the season, so I don’t really break out the sweaters or boots at least until November. My fall wardrobe mainly consists of flowy fall dresses and skirts that can be layered with a jean jacket or sweater if needed. Is it still warm where you are? I have this dress and a bunch of others linked on my ltk.

It’s amazing just how much you can see and do in a short amount of time. Our trips to London, both this year and last year were brief, but varied greatly.
Last year we prioritized seeing many of London’s iconic sites, this year, we just wanted to enjoy London. This year‘s brief trip was a much more relaxed and laidback.
I’m learning that the key to a successful trip, especially with kids, is not overbooking or trying to fit in too much. I have more about our one-day in London up on the blog now.

Do you decorate for fall, Halloween, or both? I minimally decorate for fall each year because most of my decorations tend to be for Halloween. I’ve started getting down the Halloween decorations but I am waiting as long as I can before I rip off that bandaid, because once we do, we hemorrhage Halloween at our house. So for at least another week or so, I will have to be happy with my lonely pumpkin and doormat. #falldecorations #falldecor #halloweendecor #itsfall #momlife

@evite Signup Sheets are seriously the best #momhack for the school year. I love that they are completely free, super easy to use, and they even have automatic reminders. They are a perfect and streamlined way to plan any school or sports activity or event. It’s seriously the best way to create a signup sheet. I have a link to them in my bio. #momhacks #evitesignupsheets #momlife #momlifebelike #schoollife #momofteensandtweens #momofteens #busymomlife #momhack #momoftwokids #momofboth #evite @evite

If you visit Ireland, do yourself a favor and book a stay at @mountjulietestate . It’s an Autograph Collection hotel by Marriott and is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places we’ve ever stayed. It seriously felt like we stepped into an episode of Bridgerton. The grounds are breathtaking and there is so much to do for the entire family.
It’s located in County Kilkenny just about 20 minutes outside of the city of Kilkenny. I have a full blog post all about our stay that you can find in the link in my bio. #luxuryhotels #marriothotel #marriottbonvoy #mountjulietestate #mountjuliet #kilkenny #irelandtravel #ireland #irelandhotels #autographcollection #luxuryhotel #traveltips

I’ve realized that I don’t romanticize my life as much as I used to when I was younger. That needs to change. Life is much more fun when you start romanticizing the little things.
It was easy to romanticize every moment of our stay at the Mount Juliet Estate in Ireland. The entire place feels like you stepped into an episode of Bridgerton. I have a new blog post up now diving more into our stay at this enchanting place. I also linked my dress on my LTK as well.
