My Must Watch Spooky Season Movies
One of my favorite things to do during this season besides decorating is to snuggle up and watch my favorite movies! I am not a horror movie person and I have to be in the mood for a thriller. I don’t like to be scared or anything. I love feel-good nostalgic movies that bring me back to a simpler time. All I need is my favorite beverage and a snack and I am in heaven! I posted about all of my favorite Christmas movies here so I thought this year it would be fun to share with you my favorite movies to watch during Spooky Season! Spooky Season Movies I…

How to Start Your Journal Practice this Fall
Since I was young, I have had a journal to write my deepest inner thoughts in. I used to fill my journals with my day-to-day life and who the cutest boy in school was, what was going on with my friend group, and the occasional gripe about something going on in my family. I used to pretend I was Harriett the Spy and people watch making note of their diverse personality traits or what was possibly going on in their life at that moment. There were entries about heartbreak when a crush didnβt work out or when I was having problems with a friend. I have an entry that I…

1 Item 2 Ways: Leopard Print T-shirt

I haven’t featured it that much here on the blog but in my first ever Weekday Wardrobe post I featured the print on 3 different occasions! So, in an effort to shop my closet and make the most of what I have I thought it would be fun to pick an item and style it 2 different ways! 1 Item 2 Ways: Leopard Print T-shirt My closet is full of clothes but a lot of times I have that classic case of feeling like I have NOTHING to wear. My drawers are brimming too and when I…

DIY Garden Markers
Our backyard is a very high-maintenance backyard. The previous owners added a lot of landscaping that requires a lot of weed pulling. It’s not lost on me that the backyard is what sold me on the house and admittedly I didn’t understand at the time how much work it would be. But, something I have discovered that motivates me through all the work is the end result and how beautiful and peaceful it is in our backyard. So this year I am setting out to make the backyard as beautiful as it can be. I have planted lots of flowers, I am trying to keep up on the weeding, I…

5 Vegetables to Grow if you’re a Beginner Gardener
My dad always had a vegetable garden when we were growing up and my love for growing my own vegetables really does stem from those harvests! Gardening is a constant learning experience and when you’re starting out it’s easy to get excited about all of the possibilities of what you can grow. In my experience, it’s good to start small and plant veggies that are easy to start from seed, grow quickly and produce prolifically. Being able to watch these vegetables grow is such an exciting experience and can really give you a boost of confidence as a budding gardener! 5 Vegetables to Grow as a Beginner Gardener To be…

Weekday Wardrobe #10
If you’ve been here for other weekday wardrobe posts or over on my Instagram (follow me @learning.to.bloom if you don’t already!) you’ll know that this is my winter uniform. I live in cozy sweaters, jeans, and sneakers during the fall and winter and this outfit is made up of some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. Believe it or not, I got this sweater at a Zara in Barcelona of all places and it was on that trip that Jacob proposed to me on so this sweater brings back many fond memories. I don’t care what anyone says, I will wear skinny jeans for the rest of forever. They…
