It can be really fun to take a peek into others homes, especially around the holidays. Follow along with me on my Mini Fall Home Tour.

One thing that I’m working on this year, is simplifying the holidays. Mostly the way that I decorate. When you have a smaller home (without storage), like us, there isn’t much room to store extra stuff. Therefore, whatever storage you do have is precious and feels wasted to have seasonal decor taking up space.

This year, my mindset has shifted. Getting rid of most of my fall decor, and instead bringing the outdoors in. Whether that be stems, leaves, flowers, pumpkins. Things that won’t stick around after the season is over.

The other way that my mindset has shifted, is in the way of keeping it more minimal. Less stuff on surfaces, just for the sake of having things there. I’m really being mindful with only decorating with things that I truly love, therefore I feel like I need less of it.

A few things that are really important for setting the mood for fall include textures, colors, scents, taste… I think with decorating (especially in the age of the internet), we forget about how important smell is. Imagine coming home to a warm pot on the stove that smells like cinnamon and apples… What’s more fall than that?

If the budget is tight (or even if it isn’t)… before spending money this year on more seasonal decor that gets stored away 9-10 months of the year, consider keeping it simple first. Keep it minimal, just add textures, hints of fall colors, bake something fall, put cinnamon, orange and clove in your diffuser… You get the idea. If you finish all of that and still find you need something extra, go for it!

In the kitchen, consider using things like apples, cinnamon sticks, stems of leaves, etc to decorate with. These are items that shouldn’t cost much/are free and would be such a cute addition to your home.

Using items that you already have laying around, such as suede hats, sweaters, scarves, etc can go a long way. Don’t be afraid to hang them on the wall! Practical decor is quickly becoming my favorite.

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂

I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
