Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
I love the fall season! Other than perhaps Christmas, it’s my favorite time of year. And the blogosphere (and Pinterest) have showed me so many different possibilities for fall decor, which makes the season even more fun!
Today I’m sharing a tutorial for a very simple fall craft. This could be used for all art, or leaned up on a plate holder and placed on your mantel or Thanksgiving buffet, such as a I show here. And as with most of my projects, it’s very budget friendly! [Read more…]
As some of you may know, I LOVE wreaths! One of my favorite Etsy shop is The Baker’s Daughter. The shop is owned by the very creative and supremely talented Nancy! She makes beautiful yarn and felt wreaths with fun embellishments for all occasions, as well as other fun decor! [Read more…]

The fall season is officially upon us! Time to dust off those faux pumpkins, pull your scare crows out of the attic, and get your home looking spooky! Today I’m sharing a little vignette of Halloween stuff that I had up on the shelf of the entertainment center in our living room last year. And I’ll show you just how easy and affordable it is to make your own fall display!
Today’s post is all about one of the quintessential flavors of fall: Pumpkin!
It’s amazing how many things you can make with it: cakes, bread, cookies, cupcakes, and even donuts! And when combined with things like cream cheese and chocolate, the possibilities are endless! Here are 13 Pumpkin recipes that I think you will love!

While the weather is cooling down, the fall season brings you the chance to bring bright fall colors of red, orange, and yellow to your kitchen table in the form of food and centerpieces, as well as warm colors to your home decor and outdoor space.
Every year I look forward to decorating to decorating my front porch with scarecrows, pumpkins, and fresh mums!
Here’s a picture of an entryway that I love:
As you can see they used a mum in a hanging basket on each side, and then they lined the steps with potted mums, white pumpkins, and lovely red candle holders. It is a very simple concept, and it would be very easy and inexpensive to implement. I’d also love to see other colors added to this, especially yellow.
Fall gardening and planting flowers like the mums pictured here is a snap with great products from Scotts Miracle-Gro.
You can easily pot your own mums with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix. It feeds plants for up to six months:

It’s been a while since I featured some free printables here on the blog. With the fall season just around the corner and fall decorating about to be in full swing, I thought it would be great to find some printable subway art with a little fall flavor to share with you. These are great to print out and frame, then hang on a wall or place on your mantel or buffet.
Happy Decorating!
It’s not too late to think about adding a little fall flair to your Thanksgiving table. Here some easy and inexpensive, last minute ideas.
Create the perfect fall buffet by placing your food trays on top of pumpkins! Or mix in some smaller pumpkins and gourds in and around your buffet.
Here’s a display that’s easy and very inexpensive. Take bottles or jars, and place the letters “T-H-A-N-K-S” on them. (You could even recycle some mayonnaise or jelly jars and just shake up a little pain inside to add color.) Then place straw, fall flowers, leaves, corn husks, or anything else you can think of in each one.
