October is when I officially allow myself to experience all things pumpkin. I sort of have an unwritten rule that I can't technically fully indulge until we get through the month of September, because I'm one of those people that need to segment out my holiday enjoyment.

Merry Christmas From My Home to Yours
Happy Wednesday Friends! I'm over here scratching my head, trying to figure out how it could already possibly be one week away from Christmas? It seems every year it sneaks up on me faster and faster.

Outdoor Christmas Porch
This has been the start of a strange winter here in Wisconsin. Once we hit October, we kind of skipped right over any sort of fall we had left and went straight into winter. Cold winter. Gray days. Cold winter, gray days, with no snow. (insert frowney face) If it's going to be 19 degrees and bleak outside at least let it be pretty with … [Read more...]

Welcoming Fall in Your Outdoor Spaces
Fall is one of those seasons that makes it so easy to love. I'm not really a huge fan of hot, humid weather, so I welcome those first cool, milder fall temperatures. It's also easy to find inspiration in outdoor decorating for fall because nature is pretty much screaming, "IT'S FALL!," all around you. From the bright colors of the trees' … [Read more...]
To Every Thing There is a Season
We've officially made it to the season of fall. Like all seasons, it brings with it change, some good, some bad. The start of the season included the celebration of a life so special and dear to our family. My precious grandmother's 5 year battle with cancer finally came to an end. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. And I … [Read more...]
The Art of Reinvention
Well, summer is officially here! Swimming, popsicles, lightning bugs, bare feet and sleeping in. Seems like we wait all year for these 3 months to get here! I've been reflecting a lot these past few weeks about what we went through last summer at this time in losing out to the farmhouse of our dreams, and how different our lives may have been if … [Read more...]
Happy New Year & Winter’s Here
Happy Friday & Happy New Year! I am finally getting back into the swing of things after our busy holiday season came to an end, kids (& I) returned back to school and we are finally all well again. (Our family came down with mega-colds over Christmas break, and I ended up with a sinus infection, which wasn't too much fun.) It feels good … [Read more...]
