HOLIDAYS & PARTIES

  • Halloween Home Tour

    With only 3 days left until Halloween, I’m sharing some details of our Halloween home decor. I actually made several DIYs this year, such as the bats in our entryway, a cute little haunted house and the wreath in our living room. You can find all the DIYs on my instagram http://www.instagram.com/homeofuandme

    My open shelving in the kitchen are always so much fun to decorate, especially during the holiday months!

    I added little battery operated lights in my haunted house and it was so fun at night!

    I love simple little details that make things fun but nothing too overboard. I really don’t like when things start to feel cluttered. The candy dish in our entryway had to be filled weekly because of my husband eating a piece every time he went in an out of the house.

    This month has truly been magic! From Halloween parties, trunk or treat, our neighborhood Hallowcrawl for all the adults, a neighborhood chili cook off and pumpkin carving contest this weekend. I love this time of year so much! Thank you all for following along on social media and tagging me, it makes me so happy when my DIYs inspire you.

  • Our annual Halloween Party

    I love October and I love our annual tradition of throwing a Halloween Party. It is our second October now since moving to Florida and the weather was absolutely perfect for an outside party. Not too hot not too cold! The party was from 6pm – 10pm so we could do some games and food before it got dark and then an outdoor Movie on the patio as soon as the sun set.

    For games we played: Mummy bowling , Halloween Bingo, we had a ghost piñata, and a game using toilet paper to see who could wrap their partner up like a mummy the fastest.

    We had Halloween music playing on Spotify and it was so fun to see all the girls laughing, hanging out, and eating pizza/treats around the table.

    For food, treats and drinks: I made some spider web pretzels and Oreo spiders, Sydnie made some popcorn bark, we bought mini cupcakes, macaroons, and things to make a charcuterie board from Trader Joes. I ordered pizzas and they had apple cider in the cutest pumpkin drink dispenser!

    The party was a huge success and we can’t wait to do it again next year! I will link everything I can below or follow me on my LTK https://www.shopltk.com/explore/homeofuandme

  • Simple DIY Star cake toppers

    Im obsessed with stars and these glittery star cake toppers are an easy go-to decoration that turns any simple cake into an instant celebration. 

    Plus these star cake toppers are so simple to make! I happen to have some silver cardboard stars with a sticky on the back, already in my craft supplies. You could find these most likely at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joannes or any craft store (I will link a few online options below.) Or cut out some cardboard stars and paint them would work too!

    I added some clear glue and glitter to my stars and used the sticky to attach them to my wooden dowels. (You could add hot glue if your stars don’t have a sticky on the back.) These were so simple to make and it turned a simple cake into something magical!

  • Hello Spring

    Just dusting off the blog as we come out of the (in my opinion) boring months after Christmas and finally into Spring! I guess you could say, I’m “spring cleaning” a few photos off of my phone. I actually had intentions to write several posts throughout the month of march, such as a “Easter basket post” “Bunny DIY post”, “Spring decor post” etc. But tomorrow is April 1st, so that’s not happening, I am just putting them all into one quick blog post.

    I am very much into simple decor and less is more these days. I tend to always keep things in my home neutral, as most of you know. Since we moved to Florida, I got rid of so much, and now I have only been buying things that I really love. I haven’t been overdoing it for the holidays when it comes to decor and I really like the clean look. Same goes for easter baskets, I didn’t want a ton of things that would just end up being junk. I added useful fun things like, a swimsuit, notebook, hair things, fun jewelry, a Cuddle + Kind duckling doll and a little bit of candy.

    I made a few DIY bunny crafts that I shared on my instagram http://www.instagram.com/homeofuandme

    I sprinkled my favorite bunnies around the house + started diffusing all of the uplifting spring essential oil blends. Just a fresh clean home vibe going on over here! There is something about spring that makes you come alive again! The sun shining in the windows earlier and earlier each morning. The flowers starting to pop up everywhere bringing the outdoors back to life. And honestly I even love the sound of my neighbors up early on the weekends cutting their grass. (Im a morning person)

    If you are in need of some Easter basket ideas to grab this weekend or maybe some cute things for a simple Easter morning tablescape, I have linked a few of my favorites…

    Hoppy Spring friends!
