Just a reminder that you can’t please everyone. Apparently, neither can Machu Picchu. 😂

I had the chance to try the grasshopper popsicle at Filoli’s Nightfall… yes, those are real grasshoppers. 😂
And you know what? It was actually pretty good… once you get past the crunch. 😬🦗
Would you try it?

Filoli Nightfall might be one of the coolest Halloween events we’ve experienced. 🎃
We wandered through a mansion being reclaimed by nature, followed glowing trails through the redwoods and discovered a hidden Witches’ Village.
And don’t even get me started on the grasshopper popsicle I tried… and yes, it had a real grasshopper in it! 🦗😆
The entire evening felt spooky, magical and just a little eerie, but it wasn’t too scary for the kids. It was such a fun night and one of those experiences that makes you feel like a kid again.
Filoli Nightfall runs now through November 1. You can find the link in my bio!

I’m officially in my bird era… specifically, my crow era. 🐦⬛
Please tell me I’m not the only one who suddenly finds birds fascinating after 50.

The calendar says fall, but the weather still says summer… so I’m dressing accordingly. ☀️
Which works out perfectly because I just got this new outfit from @ripskirt_hawaii , and I plan on wearing the heck out of it for as long as this warm weather sticks around.
Their whole vibe is travel-inspired clothing made for “living like you’re on vacation.” And really… who doesn’t want a little more of that in their everyday life?

This might be one of my favorite fall DIYs. These succulent Cinderella pumpkins are so easy to make, last all season long, and make a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece.
The best part? There’s no cutting into the pumpkin, and when the season is over, you can replant the succulents and keep enjoying them.
Make one on your own, or grab some friends, pour something festive, and turn it into a fall friends’ night. 🍷🎃
Comment “PUMPKIN” and I’ll DM you the full supply list and step-by-step instructions.

Posting this as a little reminder to myself, and to anyone else who feels like they’re constantly falling behind.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I should be doing more, accomplishing more, and somehow be further along than I am. (Both personally and professionally) It’s so easy to look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re still trying to catch up.
Maybe I don’t need to catch up. Maybe I just need to slow down a little, trust where I am, and remember that I’m doing fine. ❤️

We are learning there’s a lot more to walking Spud than just… walking. 😂
Too hot + too far = Spud gets carried home like the 50 pound baby he is.
We knew absolutely nothing about bulldogs when Spud came into our lives, but we’re learning quickly. Apparently, sometimes his walk becomes our workout. 😂
Bulldog owners, what else do we need to know?! #englishbulldog #englishbulldogpuppy #bulldogsofig #bulldogwalks

If you’re going to use an essential oil diffuser, you might as well make it spooky. 👻
This is one of my favorite Halloween DIYs because it’s ridiculously simple, looks so good, AND makes the house smell amazing.
All you need:
• Plastic cauldron
• Poly-fil
• Essential oil diffuser
• Your favorite essential oils
Want to hide the cord? Drill a small hole in the bottom of the cauldron and run it through there.
Comment WITCH and I’ll DM you the full directions + supply list. You can also find the post linked in my bio. #diyhalloweendecorations #bubblingcauldron #essentialoils #halloweenideas #diyhalloweendecor

Are bulldogs chill, really? 😂
When Spud got tossed into our lives, everyone told us not to worry because bulldogs are such chill dogs.
Yeah… he’s chill. When he’s sleeping. 😂
We knew absolutely nothing about bulldogs when Spud came into our lives, so I’m assuming this endless energy is just “puppy energy” and that eventually he’ll settle down a little.
Until then, we’ll just enjoy our little potato tornado and the daily chaos that comes with him. ❤️ #englishbulldogpuppy #englishbulldog #bulldogofinstagram #dogmomlife #bulldogpuppy

Comment “BOO” and I will send you the full supply list and instructions to our Halloween tunnel.
This is our 5th year creating our Halloween tunnel, and I have to admit, we haven’t got bored with it yet. Each year we try to create a new theme. We’ve just settled on this year’s theme and I’m so excited to reveal it soon.
I also have the blog post and supply list linked in my bio. #halloweendiy #halloweendecorations #halloweenideas #halloweentunnel #halloweenfun

Can I just be the niche? It would make things a whole lot easier.
Although, if I were forced to choose just one, it would probably be travel. But I don’t see us traveling full-time anytime soon. A girl can dream though, right?
Until then, I’ll keep sharing a little bit of everything I love around here… travel, family, food, DIYs, and, of course, Spud. What’s your favorite type of content? #aboutme #stayingblonde
