Dollar Store Upcycle // "Spooky" Cat


Dan + I are definitely cat people.  Even though we don't currently have one, we both grew up with pet cats around & I know Dan would love to have one one day {I tell him we have to be out of debt first & in our own home, 'cause I'm not adding a pet fee to our monthly apt. payment, that's for sure #sheworkshardsavingmoney}.  Anywho, I saw this adorable wooden cat at the dollar section at Target this year & thought it should come home with us, 'cause it was only a buck, people!  The wooden cat came unpainted with 3 little mini paints + a paintbrush.  I was able to make use of all the black paint that it came with to cover the cat + it's little stand front & back.


Next, I took a strand of battery powered orange maple leaf twinkle lights from the Dollar Tree & a bit of washi tape & secured two of the leaves behind the cat's eyes so they would give off a spooky cat-like glow.  It's the perfect addition to our home for October!

It's Officially Fall, Y'all!


Fall is hands down my favorite season.  Why?  'Cause it's got all my favorites in it, of course!  There's cooler-ish weather {#southernlife}, colors transforming the landscape all bright + bold, pumpkin everything, crisp mornings, boots + sweaters, my birthday, & the heralding in of all things holiday!  I can't get enough of it!  What do you love about fall?

2 Years of Love


Two years ago to the very day we said our "I do's" & our lives forever changed.  It hasn't always been easy, but through Jesus' strength we have always chosen love over each & every struggle.  

I still do, Dan, & I always will.
