🕯️Smells Like Pumpkin Pie + a Sweet Dessert + a Cute Holiday Craft


Hello, Reader,

…I was at my neighbor Nancy’s house, and I thought it was so fun to whip it up with a hand mixer!

What I know now, though? Homemade pudding — made in the microwave! — is even easier than the boxed kind… and way yummier. If you’ve never tried it before, today’s your day!

🕯️ Make Your House Smell Like Pumpkin Pie (the natural way!)
I love a good simmer pot. No harsh chemicals, no candles needed — just a few simple ingredients to make your home smell warm, cozy, and welcoming.

Leftover wood, a little faux greenery, and some imagination = the cutest Christmas table decorations. These would also be darling for a winter wedding!

Whether you're sweetening your day with pudding or dreaming of your holiday table, I hope today’s notes leave you feeling inspired!

Have a fabulous day!
