Living on Cloud Nine

FRIDAY FAVORITES LIFE LATELY

Happy Friday, Happy Halloween and Happy What I like to call “Eve of the Holiday Season” Let the decorating begin, lol. I know I’ve been absent in this lil space so I thought I’d do a Friday Favorites life lately and share some of the goodness amongst the chaos.

The Twins!

Lots of Twin Time! These two-year-olds are the light of our lives! Got to have a fun day with them at a local pumpkin farm complete with hay rides, apple cider and pumpkin treats. Look how cute they are in their cherry sweaters Grammy got them Up North!

Overnight with just one.

Coloring....just one of our all day his past Wednesday activities!

Fall Foliage

This past weekend, the fall foliage popped up north! Not as pretty as some years but look at these beautiful colors and fun had with Mr. Nine, Mom and Stella.

Sweet mama has a birthday next week. No clue what I’d do without her. Such a blessing to our family and big help! Grateful for her EVERYDAY!

Golds popping at the Indiana House!

Sunsets

Something about a Fall sunset on Lake Michigan.

1st Christmas Tree UP

Well, it may not be in our Indiana home, but this is the first tree decorated in our Michigan vacation home, I know, I never did a post about it, but I will one day. The first floor is mid-century modern, so the skinny tree with the olive and moss greens, gold and tans complement the decor so nicely. Can’t wait to share more!

My Rock & My Stella Mae

This precious twosome! Mr. Nine is always my rock, but he especially has been these past several months and I don’t know what I would do without my Stella Mae.

Our favorite town in the whole world!

Gingerbread Men PJ’s/ Comfies

I like to get some new Christmas pajamas every year and usually you know I go for the Reds. But oh my goodness these gingerbread with a blue piping and blue stripes are so precious. They are so so soft. I’m going to get the ones with the little bows as well.

Top HERE // Bottoms HERE // Slippers HERE

And speaking of Aerie, you know I can’t get enough of their sweatshirts, but you can get their sweatpants to match that are so soft, well, I’m in. I love the dark cherry red color.

I'm headed off to PT, then long overdo and much needed Botox.

COZY FALL AMAZON FINDS YOU'LL LOVE

Happy Fall, sweet friends! I know the calendar has not turned the season yet, but this past weekend we had flannel weather in the Midwest! You know by now that I live for all things cozy, festive, and pumpkin-spiced, and when September rolls in, I’m ready to refresh my home with textures, scents, and colors that feel like autumn hugs. And what better place to find seasonal treasures than Amazon? Thank you for joining Jill and I for our monthly Amazon link up!

I rounded up some of the cutest, coziest, and most stylish Fall Amazon finds that are already making my home feel festive. Let’s dive in—because it’s FALL Y’ALL!

Blanket // Woven Tray // Olive Cardigan // Pumpkin Polka Dot Pillow Covers // Hello Fall Candle // Fall Mug // Golden Leaf Stems // Hello Pumpkin Sign // Fall Knit Pillow Covers

The Must-Have Fall Blanket

This chunky knit luxe faux-fur blanket is basically like wrapping yourself in a marshmallow. Soft, snuggly, and perfectly neutral, it’s the kind of blanket you’ll want for chilly movie nights and sipping cocoa by the fire.

Woven Tray

Fall decorating is all about texture, and this woven tray brings it in spades. Style it with pumpkins, candles, or mugs of cocoa for the perfect seasonal centerpiece. I put mine in an ottaman.

Olive Green Cable Knit Cardigan

Fall fashion, done right. This cozy oversized cardigan pairs perfectly with jeans and boots. The olive-green shade screams autumn chic while keeping you cozy for pumpkin patch strolls or coffee runs.

Seasonal Pillow Covers

Swapping out pillow covers is the easiest way to refresh your decor. These black-and-white polka dot Pumpkin Pillow Covers with buffalo check bows add that playful yet classy fall vibe to any sofa or bench.

Apple Cider Candle

If I could bottle the scent of fall, it would be this Hello Fall Apple Cider candle. The warm, spicy sweetness instantly makes your home feel like you’re baking pies and sipping cider—even if dinner is takeout! AND what a great gift, packaged and all!

Festive Fall Mug

Can we even do fall without a MUG that says, “It’s Fall Y’all”? I think not! Perfect for sipping coffee, cider, or hot cocoa while embracing those crisp mornings. Bonus points if you add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I’ve literally owned this mug for four years and it’s my go to every fall!

Pulled from my Dishwasher...Just look at that Leopard Pumpkin. So cute!

Golden Leaf Stems

These faux golden leaf stems are a budget-friendly way to add warmth to your arrangements. Pop them in a vase for instant autumn beauty.

Hello Pumpkin Sign

Because every home needs a touch of pumpkin love! This little sign is a sweet accent for shelves, mantels, or entryways.

Knit Throw Pillows in Rust

Bring in that rich pumpkin spice hue with these chunky knit pillow covers. They’re cozy, textured, and give your living room that perfect fall-on-the-couch-and-watch-Hocus-Pocus look.

Every single one of these items is just a click away. Whether you’re decorating your living room, refreshing your bedroom, or updating your wardrobe, these finds will make your home (and you!) feel like the epitome of fall fabulous.

So, friends, tell me—which one of these cozy Fall finds is calling your name? Have you started decorating for Fall? I’m thinking about getting my mums this week! Remember when I was in the Pioneer Woman Magazine for my Fall Front Porch?
