Messy Messy Fail - My pregnancy brain has officially gone to the birds - I am living day-by-day at this point. I cannot even remember which day of the week it is, and that is no joke.
Tidy Victory - My turn to host again for the month of September which is great because as I will reiterate in the party, I love the month of September!
Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #391
Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #391 - my name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I am SO EXCITED to be your hostess for the month of September! As a native of the Western New York region, September is one of my favorite months - the leaves start to change, the weather is warm and sunny but not too hot and it's generally just a great month as we transition out of summer.
Happy Labor Day to all our US followers - we all hope you have a relaxing weekend with your families and friends!
This Week's Features
Now let me start with I NEVER decorate for fall before Labor Day - I like to hang on to summer as long as possible! But after that first weekend in September, the time has come to break out the pumpkins. I am always looking online for inspiration, and I think this great post on Neutral Fall Mantel Decor from The House on Silverado is a great resource!
Now that the whole bird gathering ban is over (did you hear about that?) I've been putting out bird food to attract all my little friends again. What a neat idea to create this Birdhouse Gourd Lantern to add a special touch to your outdoor space!
You know I love a festive wreath AND little red trucks, so I had to. At an affordable price, follow this blog post to make your own DIY Dollar Tree Pumpkin Truck Fall Wreath from Deb's Buzz.
I am down with anything pumpkin flavored be it coffee, doughnuts, or ice cream! Try this recipe for Pumpkin Ice Cream from Cincy Shopper - the best part is you don't even need an ice cream maker for this recipe!
*BONUS FEATURE*
Candle nut typing this right now, and I have ALWAYS wanted to try making my own. This tutorial for a Homemade Autumn Spice Soy Candle looks like something can handle. I especially love that it is soy, which means it will burn very clean.
