Fall Wedding meets Rustic Wedding Decor and they brought snacks
I used to think fall weddings were just weddings… but colder. And maybe with like, a couple of pumpkins thrown around. Oh, how wrong I was. My cousin got married last October and it was ridiculous.

How an Overwhelming Life Could Use These Meditation Room Motivations
There was a week—just one very specific week—when I tried meditating on the floor of my laundry room. Right next to a stack of unmatched socks, a rogue dryer sheet, and the smell of “clean linen” that somehow made me sneeze every five seconds. Anyway, I swore I was going to find a real meditation…

Summer Wedding Color Palettes to Make Your Cousins Jealous
I once helped a friend plan her Summer Wedding Color Palette and thought I was walking into a Pinterest picnic. Spoiler: it was more like a color-coded identity crisis with glitter.

I once went to a summer baby shower that was so hot, I thought I might actually witness someone melt into the backyard grass. It had everything—balloon garlands, tropical centerpieces, a mimosa bar that mocked the mom-to-be by being off-limits, and enough baby shower cookies shaped like onesies to feed a small army. But you…

19 Summer Dinner Party Tablescape Ideas That Will Impress Your Guests (Or at Least Distract Them With Lemons)
I once thought hosting a Summer Dinner Party Tablescape would be my crowning adulting achievement. Turns out, it was more like a crash course in how to overcomplicate a Tuesday night. But hey, if I can turn my backyard into a Tuscan Inspired Table Setting with lemons, olive branches, and a questionable amount of terracotta, so can you. It…

19 Mother’s Day Table Decorations and Centerpieces That Are Way Easier Than They Look
I tried to decorate for Mother’s Day Brunch once. Thought I’d go all out with a Mother’s Day Tablescape, maybe even some elegant Mother’s Day Centerpiece Ideas. You know, something that would make my mom cry happy tears instead of her usual “I’ll just do it myself” sigh. It started great. I had Mothers Day…

18 Outdoor Movie Night Ideas So Good, Even Your Neighbors Might Show Up Uninvited

I still remember our first luau. It was a Moana-themed party for the kids, and we went all out. Think floating flower candles, mini sailboats, and an actual sandpit in the backyard. Did we regret the sand? A little. But was it worth it? Absolutely. The kids had a blast, and the decorations made it…
