If you love caramel apples in the fall, you are go If you love caramel apples in the fall, you are going to love this sweet fall treat! 🍎💌Comment “APPLE” to get the recipe & details in your DM. These Caramel Apple Clusters have 2 layers of caramel and dark chocolate, plus toppings and a sprinkle of flaky salt. I should mention that there is a lot of caramel in this recipe, and caramel is known to be sticky. So they are a bit messy, but honestly, I love messy food! And what makes these Caramel Apple Clusters even better is the dark chocolate! This fall sweet treat will have you licking your fingers and looking for more! What’s your favorite caramel apple topping? 💌Comment “apple” to get the details & recipe in your DM.
How fun is this Giant Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll! How fun is this Giant Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll!? 💌Comment “PUMPKIN” to get the recipe & details in your DM. I turned regular store-bought cinnamon rolls into one massive pumpkin-spice cinnamon roll with homemade cream cheese frosting. But this doesn’t just look like a giant pumpkin cinnamon roll, oh no! This one is filled with pure pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavor, and I even added pumpkin spice creamer on top before baking. For the homemade cream cheese frosting, I started with red & yellow, no-artificial-dye food coloring, but when I ran out of the yellow, I added some orange gel food coloring. And to make it look even more like a pumpkin, I added sparkly pearl sprinkles to outline the giant pumpkin. Do you like adding sprinkles on top of cinnamon rolls, or do you prefer keeping it simple with frosting? ps. I typically prefer keeping it simple, but I couldn’t resist the glittery fall sprinkles! 💌Comment “pumpkin” for details & recipe in your DM. 🍂
I had a fun idea to turn our front porch into a co I had a fun idea to turn our front porch into a cozy space that looked like it could be in Stars Hollow. 🍂💌Comment “Stars Hollow” to get all of the details in your DM. For the last several months, I had gone back and forth about decorating our front porch for fall beyond the simple wreaths on our doors, and until this last week, I wasn’t sure I was actually going to do it. If we are going to be technical, I only decorated a little over half of our porch for fall, our front doors and the right side of our porch where this bed swing hangs. And honestly, I’m not sure how long I will keep all the fall decor out there. The pillows have already been switched around multiple times since I decorated our bed swing; you can even see the pillows change in the nighttime video clips. Our front porch gets a lot of wind, which has even blown some outdoor furniture off of it during bad storms. So I’m waiting to see how long I can keep the foam pumpkins out here before they get blown away, and once that happens, I will probably pack them up, because my thoughts may or may not be already drifting toward decorating this space for the next holiday season. The twinkle lights that I added to the fall garlands are really making me dream of what comes next. But for now, I’m really enjoying how this space turned out for fall. Well, actually, I’m completely obsessed with it, especially now that it’s finally starting to cool off a bit and we can start spending more time outside again. And I’m really hoping to sneak a nap out here this weekend! Do you like to decorate your porch for fall? 🍂💌Comment “stars hollow” to get my outfit and decor details in your DM. 🍁
Fall mornings call for fun, cozy breakfasts. And t Fall mornings call for fun, cozy breakfasts. And these Pumpkin Pancakes are an absolute must-make. AD 🍁🥞 💌Comment “PANCAKE” to get all the details in your DM. I mixed up a simple batch of pancakes using Organic Whole Milk Lifeway Kefir, pumpkin puree, and warm pumpkin spice, then used cute cookie cutters right in the pan to shape them into fall shapes like autumn leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, and footballs. Top them with Probiotic Kefir Butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some pecans. And of course, don’t forget the maple syrup! If you’re looking for a fun weekend breakfast idea or a cozy new way to use Lifeway Kefir, you have to try these! It’s a microbiome-friendly morning treat that is packed with probiotics and cozy fall flavor! 💌Comment “pancake” below, and I’ll send all the details to your DMs! #LifewayLovesYourGuts #DiscoverLifeway #MadeWithLifeway #LifewayKefir @lifewaykefir Tutorial: 1. Mix 2 cups pancake mix, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 cups Organic Whole Milk Lifeway Kefir, & 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. 2. Place cookie cutters in the pan and spray the pan and cookie cutters with oil. 3. Pour a small amount of pancake batter into each cookie cutter (just enough to cover the base). 4. Cook at the lowest temperature until bubbling on top, then remove the cookie cutter and flip the pancake. 5. Place the pancakes in an oven-safe dish and keep warm in the oven at the lowest “warming” temperature while you cook the rest of the pancakes. 6. Top with Probiotic Kefir Butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, pecans, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
So many people thought this DIY Fall Leaf Candle H So many people thought this DIY Fall Leaf Candle Holder made with faux leaves was way too delicate and would snap in no time, but not only has this held up for 3 years, but it has also survived two full house moves! 🍂💌Comment “LEAF” to get the the tutorial & extra details in your DM. I am still completely in love with the moody colors of these leaves that make them look real. Honestly, I am so ready for the weather to finally cool down so the outdoors can match my fall spirit. To be completely honest, I wasn’t totally sure this fall craft would actually work, and I definitely had my doubts along the way. Since leaf bowls have been a classic DIY project for years, I originally figured, how hard could it possibly be? While the concept itself is simple, I definitely struggled with believing it would turn out right. I quickly discovered that the more leaves I layered on, the more slippery they got, and a few kept trying to slide right off the balloon. After a quick round of trial and error, I realized the secret is to add the leaves in stages, in different layers, letting it dry in between. This made it so much easier to make! As tempting as it was to just pop the balloon at the end, I decided against it since the dried leaves were glued directly to it (and popping it could make the whole leaf bowl collapse). So instead, I just let the air out slowly, gently peeling the leaf bowl away from the deflated balloon as it shrank. Originally, my plan was just to place a single flameless candle inside, but once it was all finished, I knew it needed something more. So I added some twinkling lights and tiny faux leaves around the base for an extra layer of cozy autumn ambiance that looks magical at night. Do you prefer natural-looking autumn decor, or do you prefer to keep things bright and traditional for fall? 💌Comment “leaf” to get all of the details with extra tips & a step-by-step tutorial.
We are officially only 100 days from Christmas! 🎄💌 We are officially only 100 days from Christmas! 🎄💌 Comment “CHRISTMAS” to get the details, tutorials, & recipes in your DM. While some people say we are rushing things, for us, we are simply enjoying family traditions. When I was growing up, my mom would slowly start sneaking Christmas decor around the house months before Christmas. And when I say months, I really mean months. One time she even started in July! But that’s not our only reason for starting Christmas “early.” My grandmother was Filipino (born and raised in the Philippines), and in the Philippines, the Christmas season is celebrated during the “ber” months - SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER, and we enjoy sharing this tradition with our children. In order to fully experience each season, we typically enjoy summer May-July (3 months - although the heat of the summer sometimes starts in April and too often continues through October, so we really get ~7 months of summer), fall August-mid October (2.5 months), and Christmas mid-October-December (2.5 months). So while some people think I’m rushing through the seasons, I’m really trying to slow them down and make them longer so we can spend more time enjoying our favorite time of the year. And this year, we are going to do our best to fully enjoy the fall and Christmas season as a family. What are your absolute favorite parts of the Christmas season? 💌Comment “Christmas” to get all the details in your DM.
Our second-floor landing just became our new favor Our second-floor landing just became our new favorite place to spend time together as a family! AD 🤎Comment “SOFA” to get all the details in your DM. We moved into our home nearly two years ago, and this space had become a collection of random furniture and items, which meant we rarely spent time in this part of our home. But with cozy season coming, we knew it was time to create a family room we look forward to spending time in together. We finally upgraded our family room with this electric reclining sofa from Povison, and it has completely transformed our cozy reading moments and family afternoons. With the one-touch electric adjustment, you can easily switch between multiple comfort angles for when you’re watching TV, reading, playing games, or taking a nap. Plus, the brilliant wall-hugging design means it fits naturally into a room and reclines without needing to move the sofa forward, giving you maximum comfort with minimal space. This was perfect for us because I wanted to keep the sofa away from the railing, and even when reclined, it stays far enough away so that the kids can keep playing in their new favorite fort spot while I read or work on the sofa. Between the ultra-soft cushions and these amazing features, it’s safe to say none of us want to get up once we sit down. 🤎If you’ve been looking to upgrade your living room setup for cozy season, be sure to comment “sofa” to get the details and use my code “BLISS” to get 12% off your purchase. @povisonofficial
These Acorn Donut Holes are the perfect little swe These Acorn Donut Holes are the perfect little sweet treat that anyone can make for a Thanksgiving brunch or fall party. 🍂Comment “ACORN” for tutorial & details in your DM. This fall dessert is quick and easy to make, making it perfect for last-minute occasions or when you simply want to create a special memory with your kids without a lot of work or cleanup. I used my go-to dark melting chocolate to speed things up, then used the extra chocolate to dip fruit and pretzels afterward. We ate these for several days (note: on day 2, we noticed that the pretzel wasn’t as crunchy due to the moisture of the donut - I’ve had some people suggest dipping the pretzels in chocolate so they stay crunchy), and I know we will be making them again this fall as they are a family favorite! Do you like quick, easy recipes that help you create special fall memories with your family and friends? 🍂Comment “acorn” for recipe details & tutorial in your DM.
Ok, so this isn’t entirely true, but about 15 year Ok, so this isn’t entirely true, but about 15 years ago, it’s definitely something I would have, and probably did, say! 🍎Comment “APPLE” to get all the apple recipes in your DM. I despised pumpkin-flavored anything before I entered the Miller family. While Roger and I were dating (I think that was 18 years ago. I actually had to pull out a calculator to check my math. My goodness, I’m getting old!), his sister thought I was crazy (and rightfully so) for not liking pumpkin. And over our 4 years of dating, she quickly won me over to the pumpkin side of fall flavors. But enough about pumpkin, this is supposed to be all about APPLE recipes! And don’t think that I just have sweet apple recipes, although sweet fall treats are always a top priority (thankfully, I keep a good dentist nearby at all times!). Although I have dozens of sweet apple recipes, I have at least 6 savory apple recipes on my blog too! Now I must know. Are you going to be team pumpkin or team apple this autumn? Ps. If you love pumpkin, don’t worry, I have a pumpkin roundup that I’ll be sharing soon! 🍎Comment “apple” to get all the details and recipes in your DM.
I am so obsessed with how these turned out! 🍂 Comm I am so obsessed with how these turned out! 🍂 Comment “LEAF” for the tutorial, what I used, & more details in your DM. These Fall Hot Glue Frame Magnets are made using a wax seal stamp, leaf punch, and tiny family photos. And they are so incredibly fun to make! Last year I made Shrinky Dink fall magnets that are still holding up our kids’ art on the fridge, but this year I wanted to try something totally different. They look like fancy little vintage picture frames, but they are ridiculously easy to make. I just used a crystal-clear hot glue, a leaf hole punch on some real fall leaves we found outside, and tiny little family photos printed right from Canva (full tutorial on my blog). Add a brush of gold paint around the edges and a magnet on the back, and you have the sweetest little custom fall memory frames for your fridge or to gift to friends at Friendsgiving or family on Thanksgiving. I’m so in love with them! I already know I’ll be making more for upcoming seasons and holidays. The full step-by-step tutorial is on the blog, including exactly how I printed the mini photos and what I used to create this adorable and memorable fall decor. 🍁Comment “leaf” for all the details & tutorial in your DM.
