As you probably noticed, this month we're celebrating all things apple. And you there's no better way to celebrate anything than with cake, am I right?! Apple and cinnamon together also embody everything "Fall" for me, and is one of my favorite flavor combinations ever! Add salted caramel to the mix...and you have me hooked. For life. So today I'm sharing with you my latest layer cake creation, which consists of a delicious, fluffy apple and cinnamon sponge cake filled with a gorgeous apple and cinnamon pie filling, frosted with a creamy cinnamon frosting, and topped off with a to-die-for salted caramel drip . You're welcome! 😁
It's back to school season, so I thought I'd share so easy DIY craft projects and ideas to help you re-decorate or update your child's homework or study area. The idea is to create a few simple décor pieces that are also practical and help to add a little touch of fun to a child's room, without breaking the bank. AND without spending hours crafting. You're welcome! 😉
How is it back to school season already?! 🤪 Anyways, I thought today I'd share some fun, easy and inexpensive ideas for styling your office, work desk, or dorm room workspace in a modern farmhouse style! Of course, if modern farmhouse is not your cup of tea, then hopefully you'll still be able to draw inspiration from these craft projects and create a work space that reflects your tastes, and that motivates you to stay on top of work, whatever that may look like at the moment! So let's get crafting!
A Farmhouse Inspired Apple Harvest Tablescape
I love styling tablescapes. Even before having a blog, setting a pretty table was always something that I looked forward to each holiday and special occasion. I love dreaming up new colors, patterns, textures and creative details to dress and embellish my party tables. And I couldn't wait to create an apple-themed farmhouse inspired tablescape to share with you guys this month!
DIY Apple Shaped Zipper Pouch
September is one of my favorite months. Not only because both my kids were born in September, but because of the cooler days, the beautiful autumnal sights we see in nature and the gorgeous produce we get to enjoy this time of year, like the humble apple! Apples also symbolize the back to school season, so in its honor, we decided to celebrate by creating a few of apple-themed posts to share with you throughout the month of September - from DIYs to recipes and all in between! Staring with today's adorable DIY apple zipper pouches ! 🍎

My favorite part of back to school season is school supplies, by a mile. It's always been the case for me since I was a child. I think it's the smell of new books...and don't even get me started on the cute pens and paper goods! ;) So now with my own kids, I get to indulge in my stationery obsession when they go back to school. But the DIY way, of course!

Ice Cream Social Birthday Party Printables
Some of you may be already prepping for back to school, but summer's NOT over folks. And we're determined to squeeze all the sunny days and summer parties in, before Fall totally takes over... Oh, yeah! Speaking of which, I'm thinking these ice cream social printables would make a cool end of summer party, birthday bash theme or a refreshing back to school celebration . Sorry, pun intended ;)
Don't know about you, but after school snacks are one of my fave meals of the day. For me it's the time to catch up with the kiddos after a long day, and find out what they've been up to at school. So they also need to be fun. And of course healthy. And not fill them up too much so they don't eat dinner. Quite a few boxes to tick for a humble snack, huh?! So prepping is essential. And I've selected some funky recipes to help make after school snack life a breeze.

I'll tell you a secret: I am not really keen on living out of sink with the seasons. I'm the person who used to dread seeing Halloween stuff in the shops in August. But due to the nature of my job, things have changed a little, and planning that far ahead is a necessity...Having said that, I'm never quite ready to see winter sweaters for sale in July! And certainly never ready to say goodbye to summer. Ever. But I also know that it's inevitable, and some people have no choice but to start planning for back to school now. So to make things a little easier, this week I'm sharing some back to school printables: Bookmarks, name tags and super duper cute freebies!
