Tuesday Talk: Mug Love and Fall Decor!

Hi!! Happy Tuesday!!

I sure hope your week is off to a great start!

Awhile back, Beth and Stephanie announced they would be hosting a Mug Love Exchange :) I thought it would be SO fun to be connected with a new friend AND get a fun new coffee mug- so I signed up to participate! :) 

I was paired with a sweet girl named Becca- she is a mommy to a precious little boy with another baby on the way- due in January! She sent me the CUTEST and most CHEERFUL mug!! It is seriously SO "me"- I love the "Choose Happy" saying and the art work on the mug is so pretty. Thank you SO much Becca!! I love my mug!!

This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on our porch decorations for fall...so I snapped a few pictures of it to share with you! Then- I decided I might as well show you the fall decorations I have up on the inside of my house too!! 

Not the most exciting post in the world...but I thought it would be fun to show ya'll how I have things decorated for fall season!!  :)

Here's our front porch! 

We got our pumpkins from Aldi and I just picked up our mums from Walmart this past weekend. I have the BLACKEST thumb and literally can't keep a weed alive. I was talking to my mom yesterday- who is pretty much a master gardener- and she told me I needed to water my mums once a day. I was like, "Say what?!?" HA! I, of course, forgot to water them- but now I have a sticky note up on my kitchen cabinet- reminding me to water those silly mums! HA!

One of my favorite things about our home is the front porch- I have had so much fun decorating it for the different seasons!

Now it's time to come inside :)

Our first floor has a pretty open concept and the kitchen/eating area kind of flow into the family room...

I have this fun console-like table and two shelves up on the wall- right as you walk into the family room area from the kitchen. I love decorating my shelves for the different seasons!!

I am SO excited to get our family pictures back from our photographer...the picture I have up on the shelf currently doesn't have Marshall in it (well- he was in my tummy :) and I can't wait to put up a picture of our family of SEVEN! 

It just doesn't feel right not having him in any of our family pics! :)

Up next is our mantle!! Another favorite feature of this house is the fireplace and mantle!! I LOVE having a mantle to decorate!! I kept the decorations pretty simple...but I think it turned out really pretty!

My mom recently gave me that awesome metal "L." She got it from a store called "Tuesday Morning." I am not sure if those stores are nationwide?? They have a bunch of them in the Midwest :)

I love our rustic cross- my mother-in-law gave it to us :) And all of my pumpkins are from my favorite place- Walmart! :)

Here's another little area in our family room I put up just a few little decorations...nothing much...just a touch of "fall!"

I don't really put up Halloween decorations...I keep my fall decorations up until I decorate for Christmas- so I like to keep things more "fall-ish" than "Halloween-ish."  I did put up these two cute little pumpkins in our first floor half bath- the kids love them!  The kids also each have a Halloween pillowcase :) (Which of course, I forgot to take a picture of) My mom made the girls their Halloween pillowcases and this past week- I made Marshall and James their pillowcases...James LOVES his "pumpkin" pillowcase! Side note- Hobby Lobby has amazing seasonal fabrics and so does Walmart! That's where I got the fabric to make the boys' pillowcases! :)

And there you have it!! Nothing super special...just some pretty little touches of fall throughout our home! :)

Hope you have the BEST day!!
