The perfect way to cozy up your home is by diffusing essential oils.
Nothing brings me back to my childhood memories of fall more than cinnamon. Cinnamon buns, apple cider, pinecones covered in cinnamon oil. I could go on and on. Probably why cinnamon is on my must have list of essential oils. Right along with orange. The combo just screams fall and Christmas. When I was a kid my mom and grandmother would always take us to craft shows in Richmond. People sold everything from roasted nuts, ornaments, furniture, treats for your dog, you name it! and it was all handmade. They still have those craft shows but not everything is handmade anymore. Once you have your own collection of oils you will be able to handmake all kinds of things. I also love to make things so that is another reason I love oils so much. Here is a recipe card for some recipes you can make with your oils.
These are just a few things you can do with your oils. Another cleaning hack I enjoy with my oils is mixing up a blend that I love into a 4 oz dropper bottle. You can find them here. Once you have it mixed you can add it to the filter on the vacuum just before vacuuming (makes the whole house smell good) put it into your diffuser instead of reaching for different bottles. When it’s time to make more thieves cleaner just add a few drops to that. Same with your hand Soap, bath salts, laundry scent booster, bath bombs, the possibilities are endless.
Here is a beautiful recipe card you can print and place in a frame by your diffuser so you can see it when you want to get your diffuser going, I made it myself!
I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a warm blanket by a fire right about now. Stay tuned to the blog for more warm and cozy inspiration! don’t forget to follow me on Instagram!
The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.
Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

Molly and I are making Christmas treats today. We will post some in stories as we make them. I forgot I have a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of the day. I better get moving.

if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣
this tree brings me so much joy ☺️
I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!
I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.
