Hi Everyone!
So it has been almost a year since my last post! What the heck?! Well…..I opened a new business here in Tallahassee, FL, and I had to pretty much postpone the REST OF MY LIFE to do that! WOW! I had NO idea how hard it is to open your own business! But I did, and it’s going really well, and I’ve just hired a wonderful assistant who is basically running the place (and, I’m afraid, probably doing a better job than I did!). (In case any of you are wondering, my new business is a teeth whitening salon! It’s called Tallahassee SmileLabs Teeth Whitening, and our website is www.TallahasseeSmileLabs.com. If you are local to Tallahassee, come see me for whiter teeth for only $99 – $149!) 🙂
I just LOVE the fall – especially now that it’s NOT hot enough to walk around in a bikini top (not that I would recommend anyone doing that regardless of how good you look….), but seriously! I just bought a BUNCH of Halloween candy and brought it home. This was the ensuing conversation:
Hubby: Why did you buy all of this Halloween candy?
Me: For the trick-or-treaters!!
Hubby: You KNOW we never get trick-or-treaters because we’re off the beaten path in our neighborhood…..
Me:
Hubby:
Me: Hmmm…..well…..(you ALL know the rest of this story) Hehehe……
So onto my post! I’d like to share a couple of easy decorating ideas for Halloween or fall! I love to decorate the urns on my front porch seasonally, but most anytime you see “urn fillers” in catalogs or online, they’re usually pretty darn expensive. Here’s what you can do. Purchase a smaller fall wreath from anywhere (Wal-Mart, Homegoods, Hobby Lobby, etc.). I got these for only $12.99 from (where else?) Marshall’s! These urns are actually the plastic ones from Wal-Mart (literally like $5.00 each!). Simply place some bricks in the urns so your pumpkin (or jack-o-lantern) will sit high enough. I found these cool jack-o-lanterns at TJMaxx last year, but you could also use the plain pumpkins from Michael’s or other craft stores.
It’s a pretty cute decoration for NOT a lot of money! You could also use this same idea for a table centerpiece. Don’t use wreaths only for doors – they’re very versatile!
Speaking of doors, I like using the wooden monogram on my door, but I also love wreaths, so I decided to use both at the same time. This may be stupid, but I had actually never thought about using both! (Am I the only one?!). I simply used some cute burlap ribbon from Hobby Lobby and tied the wooden monogram to the front of the wreath. If you like the wooden monogram, I found it on Zulily for only $23.99. It wasn’t painted, but a can of white spray paint took care of that in a hurry! Zulily doesn’t have the same merchandise all the time, but if you keep checking, they repeat a lot of it often so I’m sure you can find this soon if not now!
Here’s how my wreath decor looks with my planters I bought from Grandin Road last year:
I’m SUPER excited about being able to start blogging again! I hope you (some of you???) are excited that I’m able to start again, too! Would you believe me if I said I was going to be more consistent now? (No? Well…..I don’t blame you, but I AM!) I also now have a That’s Really Cute Instagram page!

If you know ANYONE (literally….anyone…..) that you think would enjoy this blog, please share it with them!
Till next time – I’ve got some Halloween candy I need to eat! 😉
