Mindful Living For The Modern Mom
There is just something about Fall that gets me excited about crafts and activities! This time of year I love taking walks and soaking in the crisp air and beautiful sights. My daughter found it hard to wait for Halloween though. Watch my video for some easy inspiration for Fall activities for your little one!
I don't know about you but I could barely wait to decorate for Fall and Halloween. I controlled myself until September but as soon as I saw that first leaf change color I rushed to gather my spooky supplies! Let me show you my favorite home decor for this magical season.
From now on Fortner Thoughts (this blog and the associated YouTube Channel) will be dedicated to Life Improvement topics. While all of the cooking, baking and healthy eating content will be shared on our new site Fortner Forage!
I want to show you two of the candles I made in celebration of these colder days! One turned out just as I wanted and the other not so much... Even though I didn't get the color just right I still want to share the process with you so you can hopefully avoid the same mistake.
This is such a fun and adventurous activity! It's a great way to get outside and explore!
Here in the Pacific Northwest we are experiencing an unusually hot summer. Temperatures around 115 degrees Fahrenheit have never before been seen in Oregon and Washington until now. Those lucky enough to have central AC were desperately trying to keep their units going while most didn't have cooling systems at all. The summer heat can be uncomfortable but also very dangerous. It's important to do anything you can to stay cool during these sweltering days. You have come to the right place!
We decided to build our own garden boxes on our back patio! It's beautiful, conveniently located outside the door of my kitchen and took only a few hours to build.
We decided we wanted to redesign the garden we created last year. We learned a lot of lessons from last years setup and wanted to be more thoughtful this time around. These improvements will help any home garden be more successful!
Right now, I know Spring seems really far away... Hold on! Spring is almost here and soon change and new life will be all around us! Bringing hope and the promise of new beginnings!
If you can’t seem to get enough of true crime you are one of us! We conjure the past to explore the horrible truth behind violent crimes. Walk with us through the details of the crime and dive deeper into the people behind and affected by these horrific acts. We leave no stone unturned as we hunt for the truth!
