Mitten Moments

Can you believe it’s Sunday already? This week just flew by for me. Besides all my busyness I had, I still had time to find some really good Mitten Moments this week.

I spent last Tuesday with ALL my g-babies and it was AMAZING! Did you get to see the picture I posted?

No clean-up or filters here…just real life with a mimi and her girls!

I’m happy to report it’s sunflower season again! There are so many orchards here in the Mitten where you can go and pick them yourself. Check your local orchards and see if they have a sunflower field. It’s usually inexpensive and makes for a fun day!

This Week On The Blog

I’ve been making a list of all the pretty fall decor I want to use in my home this coming season. Are you a list maker too?

When looking for decor items, I usually have a list and I always certainly lose track of time when searching for said decor.

Please tell me I’m not alone.

Some people call it getting lost in the “rabbit hole” while on the search.

In hopes of helping you avoid that hole this week I shared The 10 Best Wreaths For Your Home This Fall.

A Few Of My Favorite Mitten Moments

In following with the fall vibes, I wanted to share some fall goodness from some of my friends.

My friend, Jennifer from Cottage on Bunker Hill, shared How To Make Autumn Leaf Clay Trinket Dishes. She makes DIY projects always look easy!

Do you have a cottage or lake house?

If so, my blogging buddy Kristin from White Arrows Home shared her Lake House Vintage Must Haves.

Kristin has the most amazing log cabin in the North Woods of Wisconsin. If anyone knows about lake house must haves, it’s Kristin. Her views are beautiful in all the seasons!

Talk about cozy! Make sure you give her a visit!

Do you use garland in your home? I love to use it! If you think you have to have a mantel to use it, guess again. There are so many places garland can be used.

Check out this easy step by step Wood Leaf Garland my good friend Tammy from White Lilac Farmhouse made. It’s the perfect DIY for your fall decor!

And how about her wallpaper? It’s my favorite!

My last share is from a local friend. Karissa from Daisy Mae Candles makes the most amazing soy candles. I had Karisssa make some for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower and they were a hit!

Her knew fall scents premiered this weekend and they are amazing! If you aren’t local, no worries, she ships!

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments I found this week:

This DIY fall wreath

This refreshing grapefruit aperol spritz

These decoupaged napkins on glass plates

How to make oatmeal soap

This juicy oven baked chicken breast

That’s all my Mitten Moments for this week! Wasn’t it fun?

As always, I’m so grateful you stopped by today!

I hope all the moments of your weekend are all you dreamed of and more!

Good morning!! I am happy to report that it’s Good morning!! 

I am happy to report that it’s going to be a White Christmas in the Mitten, this year! We have had crazy wind and blowing snow, but it’s supposed to clam down by this afternoon! 

I know the snow is complicating travel and Christmas plans for some of you and I pray you all get where you are going, safe and sound! 

I’m signing off for a few days to enjoy some much needed time with my family! I’m so grateful to celebrate the reason for the season! 

I’m sharing some photos from my Christmas home tour in case you missed it! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! May it be merry and bright! 

Peace and Blessings, 

Kim ❤️🎄
