Easy Thanksgiving Place Cards

I’m not going to lie, but I am a bit sad that I am all done with Halloween decorations this year. Our house has been decorated so it’s perfectly spooky, and the kid’s Halloween costumes are all done, now we just get to enjoy the next couple weeks of parties and playing.

And after a few minutes in the garage and a few minutes arranging some choice Halloween decorations, I had this perfect easy DIY Halloween centerpiece. Now the dining room is almost as scary as the living room.

DIY Metal Hexagon Wall Art

Today I sent my son off on his first day of school. He was so excited to be starting the second grade and is starting to act like he doesn’t need his mommy anymore. Of course, I walked him to the door on his first day even though he told me he didn’t need me to.

I do not have a remodel update for you today. With two long weekends in a row out of town, there just hasn’t been any time to to work on the remodel. I still have to paint the stairway and sand/seal the new rustic railings before we can get the new carpet in the living room.
