Fall Decor and Goodies on Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade
Hello dear friends, I hope you are having a great weekend. We have Linda here as your hostess from A Labour of Life hosting the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party for September. We are almost at the end of the Summer and that means , Pumpkin Spice and everything nice.
It's crazy that the creator of the world has skipped Fall and gone straight to Halloween if my Instagram account is anything to go by, but I want to celebrate a little bit of Fall first.
September use to signal the end of the summer season but the last several years it has been a bit on the drier side and very warm. What’s your September weather like where you are?

Fall Ideas on Happiness Is Homemade
Fall Ideas on Happiness Is Homemade
Can you believe it's time to start decorating for fall for we bloggers & to begin planning your decorations for fall even if you're not a blogger?! This year is just flying by. This week I'm going to be featuring some great fall posts that were shared this week. Let's get started!
Jenna from The Painted Apron shared a super easy way to make a pumpkin with a toilet paper roll. I love doing this during fall to display the extra tp rolls in our guest bathroom. Adding cinnamon sticks as a stem like she did will have your bathroom smelling wonderful for any guests!
It's the season of pumpkin spice, which this pumpkin spice cheesecake donut recipe is perfect for! I absolutely love cheesecake, so this fall version created by Crystal of Crystal and Comp., looks so delicious to me! Cheesecake, sugar, pumpkin spice, and donuts all in one? Yes, please! I've lost over 45 lbs., to a very unhealthy weight, so these look like they could help me add a few pounds back on too. All around plus for me!
Penny of Penny's Vintage Home has been staying out of the heat and staying busy indoors by creating fall vignettes, including this lovely jewel tea percolator vignette. I love the vintage mixer and percolator, and the ceramic cake with the apple pie candle. I bet that candle smells divine! The framed print just brings it all together for a beautiful fall vignette!
You all know that I love a good Dollar Tree project, so this DIY farmhouse fall pumpkin craft idea is right up my alley! Emily from Hunny I'm Home used ceramic pumpkins, paint, and vinyl to make these adorable faux Rae Dunn pumpkins. Quick, affordable, and oh-so-easy!
Another adorable Dollar Tree pumpkin decor DIY that I loved is this rope and twine pumpkin made by Donna of An Organized Season. She used different sized styrofoam pumpkins wrapped with rope and twine then added beautiful embellishments of braids. The spindle "stem" with leaves and curly Q's is just icing on the cake!
ON TO THE PARTY!

School Features on HIH
School Features on HIH
Most of the South has already headed back to school, but some of our Northern friends haven't quite gotten there yet, according to friends of mine. Most of them will head back in the next 2 weeks or so, so I thought I would share one final week of back-to-school ideas. I planned to share end of summer ideas, like decor and such, but I didn't have enough to do a theme. Apparently, I need my features as themed as my decor, ha-ha! So, let's take a look at the awesome back-to-school features, and pray that our friends who still have kiddos at home ALL day can hang on for a few more days or weeks.
Another school year means another round of fall and spring school pictures. Morgan at Charleston Crafted shared how to hang a staircase gallery wall where you can display all of those years of pictures and see your little one growing right before your eyes every day!
Beth over at Creatively Beth shared an adorable idea for a back-to-school teacher gift idea. My mother and grandmother were teachers, and the items that Beth included are things that teachers will be so thankful for because teachers have to spend their own money throughout the year for supplies!
Last week I shared an idea for laminating & reusing a printable for back-to-school pictures to have K-12 cohesive photos, but this week Tonya of 24 Hour Family shared these cute printables for photos, one for each year of school. Now you have cute pictures to put in that senior year photo slideshow (I know, we don't want to think about that day coming too soon!!).
If you want to have breakfast ready to go easily as soon as you get up in the morning or if your kiddo loves breakfast, even for lunch, these breakfast Bento Box ideas from Kelli at 3 Boys & a Dog. There are more than 25 ideas, so your child won't get food weariness like my hubby and I have from eating tacos my son loves EVERY 2 nights! These breakfast ideas travel well, so if you have to eat on the road, you're good to go.
Darcy and Brian has a tutorial for adorable coffee filter sunflowers that is great for little ones. Teachers can use this for pre-school through first grade or so as they discuss lessons on flowers, seeds, or seasons or even just for a fun craft time activity. This is also great for moms to do with little ones left behind while their older siblings go to school.
ON TO THE PARTY!

School Ideas on HIH
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade
Hello, everyone! It's Niki from Life as a LEO Wife here, and I will be choosing the features for the month of August. I'm so excited to see all of the amazing things you have to share this week!
Since we're still in the back-to-school season, I will be sharing some more features to help you get back into the groove of things. It's always hectic when things first get started, so hopefully the features this week will help you out!
Donna of An Organized Season has a great post filled with ideas to help you get organized for back- to-school. These tips are sure to help you & include ideas for school shopping with closet organization that will help you have clothes ready every morning as well as organizing a dedicated study area that is important for your child to do well in their studies this year and much more.
These back-to-school printables created by Nicolle of Our Tiny Nest are absolutely adorable! She has four different designs in her post, including blank lunch box notes, a first day of school sign that's perfect for all of those first day pictures (hint- laminate it and fill it out with a dry erase marker to use it through all 13 years of school for cohesive senior photos!), a morning checklist, and finally labels to add to all of those supplies.
If you are a teacher or you will still have little ones at home who are too young to go to school, this DIY weather craft, that includes a lesson and science experiments by Sinea of Ducks 'n a Row, looks like so much fun! She includes free printables to make the craft as well as science experiments, like a tornado in a bottle and shaving cream rain clouds, that are not only fun for littles but will also teach them about weather at the same time. This is great for a pre-school class or even for your 3- or 4-year-old that is heartbroken that they can't get on the bus and go to school with your older kiddos!
Slow cooker meals are a lifesaver for those working moms and dads out there, especially when school is in and there are a thousand after school activities to do! Jenny over at Cook Eat Go shared a SUPER easy slow cooker Coca Cola pulled pork slider recipe that anyone can put together in minutes and only takes a few ingredients.
Once you have your first after school dinner complete, what would be more fun and exciting to your little ones than to serve it at this fun back to school table setting created by Linda of A Labour of Life? I absolutely love this tablescape! It's filled with childlike whimsy, with its chalkboard place cards and chalk on the table to use while waiting to be served or after eating, school supplies as a centerpiece, and writing strips used as menu cards. It's perfect for kids and adults alike.
ON TO THE PARTY!
