We are well into witchy season and it's time for a project, am I right? Don't worry, this one won't be a back-breaker or a bank-breaker (always a good thing, in my spell book). This idea for a little bewitching yard decor began when I saw and ordered a trio of hand-holding witches online. I ordered them twice -- and they were backordered each time and eventually cancelled. Not to be scared off, I decided that I could probably make my own -- and maybe even make them look better than the original ... VIEW POST

What You Need to Create a Monster Mash!
You're singing the song, aren't you? If you're not, you're at least bobbing your head to the beat, right?

A Simple Porch Refresh with a Bewitching Twist
Who's in the mood to talk porches (*jumps up and down waving arms sporadically* MEMEMEMEME!)?! And, not just *any* porch, I might add. We're talking FALL porches babes! Oh, hey. I’m Jess. I post daily inspiration on Instagram over on @farmonhogbacklane. You can always find me blogging about home decor and life as a large, messy family of seven with a truckload of animals (also, we’re always sticky). I'm thrilled to be able to join a talented group of fellow bloggers as we share inspiration for ... VIEW POST
Fresh Fall Finds From Amazon
I'm thinking you should read this one with the Charlie Brown song in mind. You know, the theme from The Peanuts? I hear that song and I immediately glance around, frantically searching for The Great Pumpkin. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, head over to Prime Video and watch it - absolute classic. ANYWAY. That's the theme song for this post. It's no secret that Autumn is my fave and I love piecing together fall themed looks throughout the season. Lately, I've been able to score ... VIEW POST
A Little Farmhouse Fall Inspiration
2020 has been one heck of a year. Between being pregnant with little monster number five and dealing with the ongoing pandemic, we are reeling. Time has both flown and stood still, it seems. As I sit here, I'm wondering where October went as we trudge right on in to November. Something you should know about me -- once Halloween ends (we're talking once the kids go to bed), it's Christmas time. I start decking the halls pretty darn early because it makes me HAPPY and because it takes so darn long ... VIEW POST
A Natural Fall Look Made Easy
Garlands, picks, swags, oh MY! It's easy to get bogged down in all the -- shall we say -- fall froufrou (I went through a glittery leaf stage a few years ago -- I don't want to talk about it). But these days, I prefer a much more natural and earthy look. I want to make creating a natural fall look easy and I've sourced a few great options for dried florals this season! Fall. It's my favorite. Come August I'm ready to pull on my knee-highs, wrap a scarf around my neck, and zippity-doo-dah my way ... VIEW POST
