We’re back with another out of the kitchen post – here’s what we’ve been up to for the month of September!
Split image: On the left, a smiling man and woman stand together in front of a plain dark blue wall. On the right, various homemade treats, including cookies and bars, are neatly arranged on a wooden surface.

We finished painting the feature wall in our bedroom! Only took 4 different colors of navy paint to find the perfect one  ?We’re still working on our bedroom project, at the end of this post there’s another picture. The second photo – our church had their annual back to school bash and I baked A TON of goodies for the bake sale! Peanut butter rice krispies, oreo rice krispies, gluten free rice krispies, regular & gluten free monster cookies!

Split image: Left shows a man in a suit and woman in a dress and denim jacket smiling under a garden arch. Right shows a rustic barn decorated with string lights, set with round tables and chairs for an event.

We traveled to Wisconsin for a friend’s wedding, who was one of Ryan’s college roommates! It was super fun to see friends from college. The wedding was on a beautiful property (with horses!) and the barn where the dinner was, was so gorgeous! 

Split image: Left, a black cat sits in a cardboard box on a carpeted floor beside a woman’s face. Right, the same black cat lies on top of a beige couch in a cozy living room.

Of course, Salsa pictures ??

Left: A woman stands in a hardware store holding a large sheet of plywood. Right: A black cat sits inside a partially open Adidas duffel bag on a carpeted floor near a mirror in a bedroom.

Ryan and I both started projects this month. I’m making a huge wooden sign to hang above our bed and Ryan is working on creating a larger work station and miter station for the garage. The second photo – we only pull this bag down from the closet when we travel, but every time Salsa likes to cozy up inside! 

Left: A hand stirs a skillet filled with colorful vegetables and sausage on a stovetop. Right: A person pours an egg mixture over chopped veggies and sausage in a glass baking dish on a granite countertop.

Ryan and I have been trying out some new recipes! It’s fun to cook together – and Ryan’s a great cook. We made cauliflower rice stir fry and a loaded egg bake. 

Left: Kitchen counter with holiday treats, baking tools, and ingredients. Right: Wooden table set with gingerbread cookies, sprinkles, graham crackers, and plates, surrounded by various baking supplies and cameras.

I know it’s only the beginning of October but I finished making and photographing all my halloween recipes for this year! They’ll be on the site over the next 2 weeks. I also started CHRISTMAS recipes  ? And I totally had to put on some christmas music to get in the holiday mood! 

The image is split in two: left side shows a quiet suburban street at sunset; right side shows a cat sitting under an upside-down chair on a yellow blanket, surrounded by furniture assembly parts and instructions.

It’s not very often that I am up to see the sunrise  ? so maybe this one isn’t anything special, but it seemed extra colorful to me! The second photo – wild Friday night of putting together nightstands for our bedroom. It took me 2 hours and Ryan 30 minutes  ?

Side-by-side photos show a person sitting next to a nightstand and wall sconce. Left: the sconce has a round glass shade. Right: the sconce has been swapped for a conical shade, held by the person.

We are adding wall sconces to our bedroom! I ordered 3 different types from Amazon – one was so awkward and large so it’s not pictured. But we really liked both of these – you’ll have to wait and see which one we picked! 

On the left, two boxes of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte mix are stacked on a table. On the right, a fireplace mantel is decorated for Halloween with candles, a Trick or Treat sign, and a spiderweb with many fake spiders on the wall above.

I surprised Ryan with pumpkin spice goodies – his favorite! He LOVES all pumpkin spice things. The second photo – I decorated for Halloween! I love the creeping spiders I added this year to the fireplace wall.

Here are the letter board posts I shared on my instagram this month! Click each picture to go to instagram.

A smiling woman sits on a couch holding a letter board that reads: “#2 - HELPER. At their best: loving, nurturing, compassionate, & generous. At their worst: intrusive, needy, possessive, overly accommodating.”.
