Football Saturdays 🏈🫶🏽 A lot of people h Football Saturdays 🏈🫶🏽

A lot of people have asked me this weekend how I do it with 3 kids in little league and one in high school. Honestly, I don’t even know 😅 I know that isn’t the most helpful response, but the truth simply is, I love it. 

I love the sport. I love the season. I love watching them grow and develop doing what they love. And I love cheering them on every step of the way. Yes, even if that means giving up my Friday nights and Saturday mornings + afternoons on the sidelines. Because as their mom there is no other place I’d rather be (as long as I’ve got lots of snacks and caffeine of course 🙃)

Life lately 📸 Tomorrow the boys head back to s Life lately 📸

Tomorrow the boys head back to school and reality is beginning to set in. In the midst of all the school shopping and official start of football season for our boys (both little league & high school), this week showed me taking care of myself helps me to take better care of everyone else. Whether it’s an evening walk, a quick 20 minutes on my yoga mat, a last-minute hair appointment, or actually eating breakfast instead of skipping it, I would’ve not survived this crazy week without a whole lot of self-care. 

Anyways, I pray everyone has a blessed week and that God will keep a hedge of protection over all our babies going back to school, in Jesus Name!! ❤️🙏🏾

I still can’t get over how amazing it was to spe I still can’t get over how amazing it was to spend this weekend in the Hocking Hills. Treehouse living with 5 kids is wild 👀 Technically, one wasn’t enough…so we stayed in two! #hostedstay 

We got the opportunity to check out the new treehouse lodging available now @hhtreehouseresort and while splitting our crew up into two spaces isn’t our usual kind of trip, I’m so glad we went. We made some fun core memories in the forrest and not once did anyone ask me for the WiFi password #MomWin 🙌🏽

If you’re looking for something whimsical and different, check out the themed luxury treehouses at @hhtreehouseresort. It may not be practical for every family, but it might be the perfect reset for yours🌲✨🪵

Our last getaway before school starts! We were inv Our last getaway before school starts! We were invited to stay in not one, but two dreamy treehouses in the Hocking Hills for a fun family weekend. And while we wouldn’t normally book something like this (hello, big fam 😅), it turned out to be such a good time. 

There’s also a giant bounce house + mini golf on the property, so the boys had the time of their lives!!

Huge thank you to @hhtreehouseresort for hosting our party of 7! Save this post if a cozy escape to #HockingHills is on your bucket list 🌲✨

3 Fall Pot Simmers That’ll Make Your Whole House Smell Nice And Cozy

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

Autumn leaves, pumpkin spice, and apple cider. These are some of my favorite Fall things. I also love a house that smells like Fall too!

Stovetop simmers are cheap and easy to make, and they’re a great way to cozy up your house without using plugins or burning a thousand candles. 

After spending several hours in my kitchen, today, I’m sharing my favorite stovetop simmers that’ll make your house smell like Fall!

Related: How to Make Your House Smell Like Christmas (Without Candles!)

How to Make A Stovetop Simmer

A stovetop simmer is so easy to make you’ll wish you’ve been doing this all year long. Add some simple ingredients to a pot of water or juice and simmer away! 

Bring your ingredients to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. It won’t be long before the aroma fills up your entire home!

3 Stovetop Simmers for Fall 

Cozy up your home with these Fall combinations! Grab your favorite pot or Dutch Oven (this is the one I have) and start simmering.

Apple Cinnamon Spice

This is my go-to every Sunday! It smells like there’s an apple pie in the oven.

Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups water, apple juice, or apple cider 
  • 1 apple, sliced thin
  • 3 cinnamon sticks 
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves 
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

First Day Of Fall

This stovetop simmer is warm, cozy, inviting, and has all the Fall feels. It’s perfect for every day while you’re cleaning, cooking, or expecting company — they will all think you’re burning a Bath & Body Works candle!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water 
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp nutmeg

Vanilla Pumpkin

I wanted to create a stovetop simmer that’s a little more traditional for Fall. This Vanilla Pumpkin combination is just that! Although, it’s not as visually appealing as the other two simmers, it smells like fresh pumpkin donuts — just please don’t eat it!

Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 ½ tbsp pumpkin spice 
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tbsp vanilla 
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves 

Save on Pinterest!

I have to say, First Day Of Fall is my favorite simmer!!! The best part about these stovetop simmers is that you can use them over several days! Just refill your pot with water in the morning and throughout the day as needed. 

Are you going to try any of these potpourri recipes this Fall? Share yours with me on Instagram!
