I’m Misty, a writer, thinker, creative spirit, wisdom-seeker and memory-keeper. A wife & working mom, lover of all things family. My life is best summed up by lyrics of two favorites: “then sings my soul” and “ya’ll gonna make me lose my mind.” On a good day, you'll find me on the porch with a book and a cup of hot tea. All of it inspires me. Read More…

BOO!!! Up for a quick, spooky and inexpensive craf BOO!!! Up for a quick, spooky and inexpensive craft? All you need is a pack of cheesecloth, small foam balls, ribbon, sticky-back black felt, and string if you’re hanging your ghosts. Tip- once your ghosts are made, carefully separate sections of the cheesecloth to make it look like they’re floating! 👻

I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night in. Add games (the non-video variety!), snacks, and good company and you’ve made my evening. We’ve had a lot of family game nights over the years, especially in the last couple of years. You can plan a game night any season, but there’s just something about cozying up for a fun evening when the weather is starting to get chilly. We're still hoping for chilly over here! 

Check out my top tips for planning a cozy game night, favorite games and snack ideas, on the blog today. What's your favorite board game?

But I will share a few simple tips I used to make these adorable shortcut charcuterie MINI BOARDS. Aren’t they the cutest? Jeff and I have been talking about making mini charcuterie boards, but when I walked into @fiddleandfigmarket and saw these, they were so affordable I just went ahead and purchased them.

Fall decor doesn’t have to be fussy. Make these Fall decor doesn’t have to be fussy. Make these simple jack-o-lantern luminaries from recycled jars and bottles. Our cozy back porch is ready— bring on the cooler weather and colorful shades of autumn. 🍁🍂🎃👻🍁 Link in bio @backporchbliss.
Repeat after me: Fall decor doesn’t have to be f Repeat after me: Fall decor doesn’t have to be fussy. Or expensive.

These fresh-faced jack-o-lantern luminaries were made using recycled jars and wine bottles and a few supplies I had on hand. I added a few real pumpkins in different sizes from Trader Joe’s– I think these striped cuties were just over $1 each. Aren’t they pretty? My back porch is ready for fall. The tutorial for the luminaries is on the blog today-- post link in bio. 

Are you keeping your fall decor unfussy, or are you going all out?
