A SEPTEMBER LIFE UPDATE PLUS FAVORITE THINGS
We have officially been Arizona residents for 8 weeks! It’s crazy to look back on how much has changed since we decided to give up our dream home for our dream life just a few short months ago.
We have taken the kids on several new adventures. celebrated a few birthdays, learned that we hit the jackpot with neighbors, and are finally settling into a full time work from home routine.
This past month, we had our first visitors at our new home, Tommy made his first extended work trip back to Indiana, the boys started soccer and we flew to Indy to enjoy our season tickets for the Colts home opener.
Each and every day is proof that moving across the country was the absolute BEST choice for our family in this season.
We couldn’t be happier!

September on the Blog –
It was a summer lifestyle-focused month on the blog. I shared how I ORGANIZED UNDER OUR KITCHEN SINK, OUR EXTERIOR HALLOWEEN PLANS, and HOW TO DIY A SPOOKY HALLOWEEN PLANTER.
Then we had our first backyard movie night, I learned a trick for caring for my copper sink, and I shared part 1 of our Halloween decorating!
You can follow along with my video content on INSTAGRAM & TIKTOK.
let’s take a peek aT THIS MONTH’S favorite things!
this month’s favorites are all things I’m loving this summer!
kitchen sink wallpaper
The very first wallpaper in our new home and it went under the kitchen sink for a bit of fun!Keep in mind that this particular wallpaper ISNT a brand that I recommend/love for a wall application (aka, not the greatest quality), but it’s perfect for small projects like drawers, cabinets or cork boards.
kitchen sink pull out
Did you know that for most people the kitchen sink is the most used area of the home? This slide out organizer is a GAME CHANGER for keeping the sink cabinet nice and tidy!
kitchen/laundry room labels
Every organization projects needs labels. This set comes with so many options for the sink/laundry area plus a ton more!
trash can pull out
A must have in the kitchen, this trash pull out is super easy to install and keeps little hands (or paws) out of sight!
pumpkin tee
Seasonal tee’s are filling up my closet this time of year, and this pumpkin tee is so cute ALL fall long.
Comes in tons of colors too!
solar powered path lights
I purchased these solar powered flickering path lights for our Halloween decor but I can definitely see myself using them all year round! They are amazing quality, price and make such a difference in our front yard!
