Have y’all ever tried apple butter pie?! 🍎🥧 I made this easy fall pie for the first time last year, and I’m not even kidding… it might be my favorite Thanksgiving dessert! I honestly think I love it even more than classic pumpkin pie or pecan pie.

The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make, packed with warm fall flavors, and tastes like everything you love about autumn in one slice. If you’re looking for a new Thanksgiving pie recipe or an easy fall dessert to add to your holiday menu, this one is a must!

Happy March 1st, y’all 💛
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #womenshealthmatters #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #womenshealthcare by @mornings.on.macedonia

We had the BEST time last night at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀 by @mornings.on.macedonia

We just celebrated TEN YEARS of marriage with a weekend getaway to Charleston, South Carolina, and honestly, I can’t think of a better place to spend our anniversary! Charleston is our favorite city, so any excuse we have to make the four-hour drive down, we’re taking it. 😂

We had the best weekend just walking around the historic streets, admiring all the beautiful Charleston homes, and basically eating our way through the city. And honestly…the drive is worth it for the Charleston food scene alone in my opinion. 🤣

Of course, it POURED almost the entire time we were there. 🌧️ But at this point, I think a rainy anniversary is just tradition for us. Ever since Hurricane Helene two years ago, apparently our anniversary and pouring rain just go hand in hand. 😂

I guess rain is still good luck if it happens on your anniversary instead of your actual wedding day, right?! 🤔🤣

Rain or shine, Charleston will forever be one of our favorite weekend getaway destinations, and we still had the best time celebrating 10 years together. 🤍

And if you’re planning your first trip to Charleston and wondering where to eat, what to do, and how to spend a weekend there, I’ve got you covered!

Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️

Here’s the easiest hack for removing leftover candle wax from antique jars, mugs, and vintage vessels so you can reuse them! 🤍

I found this adorable antique candle from Antique Candle Co., and one of my favorite things about it is that once the candle is finished, you can repurpose the vintage vessel instead of throwing it away.

Here’s how I remove the leftover wax:

🕯️ Pour boiling water into the candle vessel
🕯️ Let it sit for several hours until the wax solidifies and floats to the top
🕯️ Scoop out the hardened wax (I save mine to use in my wax warmer!)
🕯️ Remove the leftover sticky wick with a little Goo Gone
🕯️ Wash the vessel thoroughly and you’re done!

Such an easy candle jar cleaning hack and the perfect way to upcycle antique jars, vintage candle vessels, and pretty containers into something you can actually use again! ♻️

Have you tried this candle wax removal hack before?!

If you’re looking for an easy homemade Christmas gift that people will actually use, homemade vanilla extract is one of my all-time favorites! 🎁 And now is the perfect time to make it so it has plenty of time to infuse before the holidays.

Homemade vanilla extract is SO simple to make, but it feels like such a thoughtful, special gift. Plus, once you start baking with real homemade vanilla extract, you may never want to go back to the artificial stuff from the grocery store! 🙌🏻

Pour it into cute little bottles, add a festive label or ribbon, and you have the perfect DIY Christmas gift for neighbors, teachers, coworkers, friends, hostesses, or anyone who loves to bake! 🎄🎀

And the best part? You can make a whole batch at once and knock several people off your Christmas shopping list early. 👏🏻

One of my ALL-TIME favorite recipes to make is this Johnny Carino’s Bowtie Festival Pasta 🤤🍝 And if you’re a pasta lover, you NEED to save this one!

If you’ve ever had the Bowtie Festival at Johnny Carino’s, you already know how ridiculously good it is. So I decided to make my own Johnny Carino’s copycat recipe at home. And y’all, it tastes SO close to the restaurant version! 🙌🏼

It’s made with bowtie pasta, tender chicken, crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, garlic, red onion, Asiago cheese, and the creamiest homemade Alfredo sauce. Basically, everything you could ever want in a pasta dish. 😍

It’s definitely a little more involved than a quick weeknight pasta, but I promise it is SO worth the extra effort. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner, date night at home, or anytime you’re craving restaurant-style Italian food without leaving the house!

And if you’ve ever missed the Johnny Carino’s Bowtie Festival as much as I have, this copycat recipe is for YOU! ❤️

👉🏼 Comment “PASTA” and I’ll send you the recipe, or head to my blog for the full Johnny Carino’s Bowtie Festival Pasta recipe!

Target really understood the fall decor assignment this year 🍂🤎 I found the CUTEST long fall stems on my latest Target run and knew they would look perfect in my galvanized metal vase in the kitchen! 🏡

They added the prettiest pop of fall color without making the space feel too “fall,” and I’m obsessed with how realistic the little hops look! 🌿🍁 Plus, I ended up needing way fewer stems than I thought… which means I can return the extras and spend that money on something else, right?! 😂

Gotta love when girl math + Target fall decor work out in your favor! 🤣🛒

Are you decorating for fall yet?! 🍂

🎄 I know I know… it’s only September 😂 BUT HEAR ME OUT! If you want one of these viral Christmas trees, you better grab it EARLY because they WILL sell out! 👀🎄

And this Lowe’s Christmas tree is hands down one of my all-time favorites. ❤️ It’s basically the easiest Christmas tree ever because there’s ZERO fluffing required 🙌🏻 You just put the 3 easy pieces together, plug it in, and BOOM: you’re ready to decorate!

And the LED lights?! 😍 You can switch between warm white, colorful Christmas lights, twinkling, or still lights, so you can completely change the look depending on your mood.

But personally… give me the colored Christmas lights every time. 🎄 There’s just something about those colorful lights that feels SO nostalgic and takes me right back to childhood Christmases. 🥹❤️

So if you’ve had your eye on this viral Christmas tree from Lowe’s, consider this your sign to snag it before it sells out! 🤣 Comment “tree” below for the link and I’ll send it your way!

🎄 Are you a colored lights Christmas person or white lights Christmas person?!

I’ve been spending SO much more time working on my computer and phone lately, so I figured if I’m going to be staring at screens all day, I might as well do it in a cute pair of glasses! 😂

And y’all… these blue light blocking glasses do NOT disappoint! I’m obsessed with the frame, the color, and how cute they look on. They’re giving cute + practical and I’m here for it. And I can’t believe they are from @americaneagle too!

Do you wear blue light glasses when you’re working on your computer or scrolling on your phone?! 👀
