Show some Sunday dinner love This is your reminde

Show some Sunday dinner love

This is your reminder that you can make a wonderful smothered chicken dish without dairy. I don’t know what these southern cooks are doing, but I was taught that all you need is a little flour 💁🏾‍♀️. And don’t forget to throw some spinach in that cabbage, honey. Gotta eat those greens!!

A little fall gardening I think these hydrangeas

A little fall gardening

I think these hydrangeas are finally going to do the trick. Unfortunately, I’ve unalived about 5 of them since April 😩🤣. This time I did my research and picked some seriously hardy ones, and I decided not to plant them immediately.

They’ve been sitting where they were going to be planted for a week in order to get acclimated. It also allowed me to see what their watering needs would be. Gardening can be so hit or miss when you’re still learning what the heck you’re doing. But I’ve been enjoying the process. My wallet? Not so much.

As you can see, Mitch came to rescue me and finished digging the holes. I was fighting for my life. These IVF meds have left me with very little energy, but I really needed to get out to get some sun. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Are you planning to do some early fall planting? If so, what’s on your list? I know I’ve got a couple more things I’d like to get in!

Well, hello fall What better way to welcome fall

Well, hello fall

What better way to welcome fall than with a beautiful tablescape?! I know y’all have probably been seeing fall decor on here for the last month, but I personally refused to indulge any sooner than need be. Life goes by quickly enough as it is.

I’m welcoming the official start of fall (tomorrow) with humility and open arms. We are super prayed up for good things to happen this season.

You can shop my tables and home, and particularly these roses, using the link in bio (LTK). @gracerosefarm has the most stunning roses and you’re in luck — use my code “itsbellmade” to get $$$ off!!

Let’s make some breaddddddd

Recently I had a coworker tell me that they don’t eat bread and that they don’t know anyone who does 😒🥴. The southerner in me wanted to pounce but I just laughed it off. I don’t care how healthy I become, that ain’t never equating to me turning down homemade goodness. 💁🏾‍♀️

Of course I came right home and baked some sandwich bread. Cheers to this next installation in becoming a better baker.

Let us beckon fall with open arms If I’m hones

Let us beckon fall with open arms

If I’m honest, I’ve been so torn about the new season around the corner. There’s an excitement because it’s such a beautiful time of year, but it’s also a reminder of how quickly time passes. A reminder that almost another year has passed, and we’ve not been successful in trying to conceive. But with a new season, comes new possibilities. And so I choose to welcome fall with open arms. Though not a second sooner than need be.

Tell me, are you a fall girlie?

Sunday goodness — homemade hamburger helper It

Sunday goodness — homemade hamburger helper

It’s the end of the line for us. It has been an uneventful weekend (for the most part). And while I’m not quite ready for the week ahead, I’m going to embrace it anyway.

I debated whether or not l was even going to cook, but in the end, it turns out my spirit needed it. A homemade hamburger helper it is, then.

Let me know if you’d like the recipe 🫶🏾

A lil fresh flower Friday & real stories Life ha

A lil fresh flower Friday & real stories

Life has been kicking my behind. Today I found out that this IVF protocol/cycle is likely not going to work. I had such a great day at work yesterday, only to be hit in the gut soon after. Life is funny that way.

I’ve been working hard at maintaining both acceptance and faith, but it is hard. So yeah, here’s some flowers — they sure are pretty 💕
