Fall and Halloween Decorating Time



 To me decorating makes a house feel more like a home.  By adding your style, your little touches can help people feel more welcome in your home.  It can make the people living in your home feel warm, loved, and cared for.  As we head into fall I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.  I love fall and decorating for fall.  Now that it is October I can add a touch of Halloween to my décor as well.  Whether it is dollar store goods, thrift/yard sale finds or DIY crafts.  I love to add candles through out the home even if I never light them.  Candles that smell like the season can be very aromatic and add to the things your family and guest experience in your home. When you know you have guest coming over you should try and have a little snack or treat ready to go.  Even just having filled candy dishes can be a nice touch.  I love to have music on in the house, it helps motivate me when cleaning, it can be just nice to have soft music playing when guest are over. When decorating and making a home welcoming you want to hit on as many of the senses as you can. 


So many of my fall decorations are from dollar tree and yard sale finds.  The little skeleton bath was an idea I saw on Pinterest. I am not sure who originally posted it.  The one I saw has round and clear Christmas bulbs in it for bubbles.  But I had some eyeballs left from decorating other places so I add them instead.  





Here is a new DIY project I am working on.  This was a dollar tree find, every thing I am using on it was from dollar tree, except the silver sharpie marker.  I even found hot glue sticks at dollar tree!!

Two Eagles in One Year!!!!

 I am going to have a mom brag moment, so please bare with me.  So in April of 2021 my third oldest son earned his Eagle Scout Rank.  As of last night October 5, 2021 my fourth oldest son earned his Eagle Scout Rank.  My boys have worked so hard for this accomplishment.  Of my five kids so far we have one Life Scout, three Eagles Scouts and my daughter is a Tenderfoot working on her goal to one day be an Eagle.  Only about 4% of Scouts earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
