diy recycled christmas stars 🌟✨ i made these with diy recycled christmas stars 🌟✨

i made these with toilet paper rolls, gold rub & buff and velvet ribbon, that’s it! (well i actually preferred how the paper towel rolls cut fyi!) i planned on making this into a garland but ended up just doing some ornaments for now— but these would be so cute all over the house! hanging from a candle holder, a wall sconce, a doorknob!?

my algorithm has been stressing me out because homemade christmas crafts are so hot right now and i’ve felt overwhelmed even though this is my wheel house, i’ve got piles of supplies and lists of craft ideas ready but zero motivation. 

SO decided to start small and simple! 
if you’re feeling the same way, just grab some old TP rolls, throw on a movie (i’m partial to “love hard”) and make something cute and easy 

if you want the supplies, just comment MAKE and i’ll send em over to your dms ❤️

easiest hack for dressing up your store bought pie easiest hack for dressing up your store bought pie — use store bought pie dough 🍂

— roll out your dough
— cut out leaves with a pairing knife 
— bake until golden
— just lay on top of your pie in desired pattern! it’s super easy to move them around until you’re happy with it

every year, for 5 years now, my stupidly talented every year, for 5 years now, my stupidly talented husband makes an ornament of a food that is special to our family! they seriously get better every year!!

and now the time has almost come! help us decide what @gideonboomer should make for his ornament this year!?

we were thinking —
— double scoop ice cream cone of arlo and izzy’s fave flavors (strawberry and mint chip what a yucky combo)
— a new haven style pepperoni pizza in the box and everything 
— a grilled blue crab like the one arlo caught and we grilled but no one likes that idea as much as arlo 
— soup dumplings, he almost did @dintaifungusa last year but went with @katsuyagroup 

weigh in! ORRRR let me know if you have a better idea!
nicki minaj you’ve got some serious competition 😆 nicki minaj you’ve got some serious competition 😆

our living room, in photos! thank you guys for l our living room, in photos! 

thank you guys for loving it 🥹 i’m so obsessed with it that i now refuse to hang out in the family room lol, so my next goal is to make that room equally as cozy!? except i was gonna focus on the playroom! or arlos room next!? and this is why i can’t finish anything!!

comment WANT and i’ll send you the links for everything!

so now that i’ve moved to ct, i’ve made it my goal so now that i’ve moved to ct, i’ve made it my goal to live a slower life #ApplePartner — and what’s more cozy (and slow) than reading BOOKS?! that’s right, i’m a reader now!!!

@applebooks has made the transition from someone who pretty much only bought books as decoration to a full-fledged BOOKWORM way easier because you can read or listen to samples before you buy, keep a “want to read” list, adjust the playback speed as much as you want and it still feels like a physical book because you actually *flip* the page.

it’s also subscription-free, so i won’t feel guilty if i take a break from reading — but please don’t let me do that!!

you can even follow @reesesbookclub, where Reese Witherspoon hand-picks a new read each month — always with a woman at the center.

i’m always trying to scroll less (who isn’t), so lately i’ve been listening to books while soaking up time in the backyard before it gets too chilly. watercoloring and listening to a book? cozy. cooking dinner with a glass of wine and a book? cozier. walking on the beach with a book? peak slow life!!!!!!

the link is in my bio!
