Obsessed with this DIY no-sew ghost garland 👻

- 8x8 fabric scrap squares
- Anything round for the heads (I used some leftover poly-fil)
- String, twine, or ribbon for tying off and hanging
- Extra ribbon for in between the ghosts
- Whatever you have for the eyes! Felt, marker, etc.

My almost five-year-old helped me throw this together in about 45 minutes today. It’s so fun and festive and adds even more color to our already very colorful home.

We’ve had such a fun weekend putting up various tomato and pepper recipes, and finished off the day with pasta sauce 🍅

We’ve also been getting a head start on our orange slices and apple cinnamon ornaments for the holiday season. It will be here before we know it! 😬

Finally had a chance to get out in the garden after all the rain. Anyone have a great pepper relish recipe?

Good morning, Paxton! We are swimming in eggplant. If you’d like us to set some out in the stand for you, please message us or comment below 🤗

We’ve been a little quieter than usual as we soak up the summer and enjoy being present. We’re fortunate to live in a community where trips to the library, pool, drive-in, arcade, and other amenities can pepper our days and create long-lasting memories with our 4-year-old before he officially starts school in the fall 💛

The garden is growing like crazy and we expect to have produce in the stand soon. We have plenty of duck eggs, and are still taking additions to our chicken egg waitlist for those looking for local, pasture-raised eggs. I may be biased, but they are absolutely delicious and the perfect addition to your breakfast plate.

Hope everyone is having a great week! We’ll be back with more content soon.

Already missing the cooler start to summer, but we won’t complain about the sunshine ☀️
