September 15th felt like the perfect day to put cascading pumpkins on the front porch. I was warned by many that pumpkins won’t last long on your doorstep in North Carolina. It’s a stark contrast to them lasting MONTHS in Idaho, probably because it’s like a refrigerator on your porch. So, well, those are all faux and not even Chris could tell! It’s a bit of an investment up front, but I’m so excited that we’ll have them forever now!

I’m feeling really homesick this week. It’s a strange feeling when you’re at home, surrounded by your family but feeling homesick. This weekend marks just 2 months in our house (how has it only been 2 months but also, there are so many boxes still!) and Chris and I stayed up late one night just talking about all the things we miss–and left no memory unturned. Our girls are growing so fast and we miss our Idaho land and we miss seeing our friends and knowing how to get places. Ha! Then we curbed it by talking about all the things we’re excited for here. Like, trick-or-treating without winter coats on! The next day, I put pumpkins on our front porch and it honestly helped. They say holidays and creating memories actually help in getting settled so we’re starting pumpkin season early.
Other fun things this week!
- Oh my GOSH have you watched LuLaRich on Amazon?! It’s a 4 episode documentary about the jet fast rise and crash and burn of LuLaRoe. (Remember those crazy leggings?!) It’s fascinating and my jaw was on the floor the whole time.
- These baby’s breath clouds took my breath away.
- Sometimes I forget this.
- I ordered these sherpa-lined pointed mules as soon as I saw them in my inbox! They look exactly like the Jenni Kayne ones I’ve wanted for year for $200 less!
- Now that we’re all on the Lamp o’clock train, we put together a little round-up of our favorite Table Lamps  and Floor Lamps. A home MUST have a lamp!
- I’m talking about pumpkins and McGee & Co. is releasing their new Holiday Line. (I bet this sells out.)

You inspired me. I was lucky enough to get a few of the pumpkins you listed and they just arrived. How are yours holding up in the weather? I plan to copy you and add mine to the stairs.
I live in a humid area of SUPER hot Texas, and pumpkins on my porch last months and months!
Hugs.
What happened to the investment of the Christmas wreaths — will you be using them on the new house?
Yup! Can’t wait
Most of the pumpkins are out of stock and I’m super bummed! Your porch is beautiful.
