Fall Decor

As I gear up to decorate our home for the fall, I have been pouring through Pinterest.  I've found so much inspiration!  I am going to have to narrow down what I actually use, but here are some of my favorites...

I love the white-wash vintage look of this table-top decor and mirrors.

This mantle is a little too modern for my taste, but I do LOVE the limbs/wood used to spell out "FALL".

This printable is beautiful!  I will definitely be printing this and framing in a gorgeous bronze-rubbed frame.  Click below for the actual printable.

I love this simple, but stunning idea.  The pumpkins are wrapped in wire for a very rustic look.

The buffet decor is by far my favorite piece of fall inspiration I've found.  A quick trip to the antique thrift shop and I should be able to pull this together.  It's GORGEOUS!

This mantle is definitely my speed.  I love the simple, but adorable vintage feel.  The pumpkins and banner should be pretty simple with  4-5" letter stamps and some brown ink.

How adorable is this?  I was thinking these tags would be adorable in lieu of a wreath for our side door.  These will be super easy to make with a quick trip to Hobby Lobby.

This is definitely going in my yard this fall!  So simple and adorable!

I envision this on our back porch.  This could also work with a little newer style wheelbarrow, that we already have.

I had to include this.  I have so many large glass vases like this.  Using some sticks/vines we already have, we can have a very festive centerpiece.

I've never seen this done, but fully intend on incorporating mums and pumpkins this year for our front porch decor.

Adorable use of corn kernels and beans with a standard hurricane and candle for a festive accent to any table!

Google Making My Life More Simple

So, I have an ipad, personal phone, personal laptop, business phone, and and business laptop...I have photos on all of them.  When blogging, ordering prints, it's always been such a pain to have the photos all over the place.

This week, I installed Google+ on my devices and am LOVING it already!  I can access my personal phone pictures from my business phone and vice versa.  I can access photos from either phone when blogging, from either laptop.  If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend downloading the app on your devices!

Additionally, I've just started using Google Drive.  If you haven't heard of this Google App, you have got to check it out!  You basically download the Google "Cloud" Drive to your computer(s), and can save files to and open files directly from anywhere.  There is even a Google Drive mobile app, so you can access files from your mobile device, too.  

I feel so much more efficient!  I am loving Google right now!

Fall Bucket List

I just can't wait for fall...the pumpkin patches, leaves, chill in the air... Here is my fall bucket list (downloaded from Pinterest).

Juggler

 

I, as most mothers, struggle with balancing it all.  One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies, "I Don't Know How She Does It", is when the husband is asked what his wife does.  He affectionately claims, "She's a juggler." 

I am hoping this blog brings you a little joy and value, as I share my aspirations to be a better mom, friend, wife, business woman, etc.
