3 Pumpkin Decorating Ideas
Easy Ways to Decorate Real and Faux Pumpkins Dress up real pumpkins with sequins, add a watercolor look to faux pumpkins, or create pumpkins from scratch with concrete for glammed up fall decorations! Bedazzled Sequin Pumpkins I’ve never been a big fan of spooky Halloween. I’m all about fall and pumpkins, in or out of my food/drinks, though.😋 If you prefer ‘pretty’ things for your fall decor too, these dressy pumpkins are for you!

Have Yourself A Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! It’s amazing how the holidays can change so much when you have a little munchkin running around. My husband and I are blessed to have our little Mary Helen! Even if she still doesn’t have a lot of hair! 🙂 These are a few pictures from our Christmas card photoshoot this year. We headed down the street from our house to the beautiful campus of Spring Hill College. My sister was our gracious camera operator. And my mom was the goober behind the camera trying to keep Mary Helen’s attention. It was a fun and easy hour on a recent Saturday!

Repurpose Dingy Hand Towel

DIY Christmas Topiary
Whether you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas decor project or saving up ideas for next year, I love the way these DIY Christmas topiaries turned out! Maybe you saw this video on Facebook in the fall? I mostly followed the same steps but exchanged the fall leaf garland for Christmas green garland. In all honesty, most of my Christmas decorations were purchased on sale the days after Christmas the past few years. Like 50-75% off kind of sales! So if that’s the way you like to shop too, here’s what you’ll need to complete this project next year. (You can also pin it to save the how-to for later!)

Quick Mother’s Day Craft
Apparently this week was Teacher Appreciation Week. And this Sunday is the mother of all holidays, Mother’s Day. So I felt it was a good time, even if it is (very) last minute, to create a little something for my daughter’s caretaker at daycare. I mean she does take care of my little nugget like a second mom. And I’m so grateful that Mary Helen is happy to go to “school” everyday while I take care of business creating projects for this here blog, co-hosting Today’s Homeowner TV show, and taping episodes of my web show. I wanted something that was a tad sentimental and tied into Mary Helen, but not something…

Recycle Christmas Tree into Mulch
How to Recycle Your Christmas Tree Nothing compares to the scent of a fresh Christmas tree. Which is why my family always had one growing up and why I continue to buy a fresh one each Christmas season. Now I’ve got a way to make my dollar, and the fresh scent, stretch a little further. Mulch! I did it last year and I’ll do it again this year. It’s so easy to cut up your real tree and use the branches as mulch around the yard and the trunk as firewood! After you’ve removed and stored your ornaments and twinkling lights, drag it outside and grab a pair of loppers.
