Easy Fall Decor



I wanted to do something rustic but fun looking for one of my glass jars on our media stand in the family room. I saw these two ideas on Pinterest and it sparked an idea for my simple (just had a baby 3 weeks ago) version. Layer Studio

The Wedding Bee



I had some old sticks/twigs in my basement that I was going to use for another project. So I grabbed four, picked up a bottle of golden color spray paint at Walmart and lightly spray painted the sticks. I left some of the original twig color showing just to keep it looking a little more rustic. I put some faux pumpkins and leaves in the bottom of the jar and popped the twigs in!

I Love My Life

I love my life. I love my job. I love my teammates (yeah third grade team). I love my friends. I love my husband. I love Samson. I could go on and on and on...

...I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I'm so lucky. I have a beautiful house and my own little family that lives here (hi Will and Sam). I've just started my fourth year of teaching third grade in an amazing school district. I love this time of year because I can sense my favorite season right around the corner, fall will be here before we know it (and I can't wait). Fall is Will and my favorite season. We like to decorate our house spooky, well at least I like to decorate it and Will just likes to enjoy it decorated. We love going to pick pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. Will always manages to carve his to look scarier than mine. We already previewed our options for Sam's Halloween costume at Petsmart. Last year he was a jack-o-lantern. This year I want him to be an unemployed person (complete with doggie robe and newspaper squeak toy). I think Will thinks that is a weird costume because he wants Samson to get the shark costume. How generic! Really, I just want an excuse to buy my Westie a robe to wear around the house. He would just be so cute in it! Anyway, this post is all over the place. The bottom line is - I'm just happy right now. I'm on top of things (as much as a teacher can be at any one time) at work and at home and bottom line is, I'm just in a great mood.

On a house update....we hung curtains this weekend in our living room. We chose basic white with cast iron rods. It looks pretty and really adds decoration to the room!

Well, I guess thats all from my life...
