Brown Butter Pumpkin Spice Treats combine the ooey gooey goodness of marshmallows (my kids love that) and the nutty, rich flavor of browned butter which mama adores. There are a few variations of this recipe out there, this is mine, and I love not only how pretty they are, speckled with pumpkin pie spice.
The days just seem to get more and more busy around the twelveOeight house in the fall, and I love every minute of it. The leaves changing color in my neighborhood, making yummy soups and casseroles, planning out a few visits to local pumpkin patches and more pumpkins than we know what to do with. Amidst
We all love a great deal, but you just cannot beat some of the great stuff you find at the Dollar Store. I came across this doormat yesterday at my local Dollar Tree and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. Paint it of course…and what better way to fancy up
I am so excited to bring you my first giveaway here at twelveOeight! The lucky winner will walk away with a fabulous candle from the American Heirloom series from Goose Creek Candle Co. ~and~ a $50 Visa card for being so fantastic. Not bad! We all know how awesome Visa cards are, but let me tell
Fall baking and comfort foods are in full swing at the twelveOeight casa. Are you ready for the “official” first day of fall? I recently made cupcakes, and will be making more cupcakes this next week for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I wanted to make something that was basically a muffin, but delicious enough
Finding a solid table to refinish, or a great chair to paint can be challenging enough. But to find a super retro piece, or in this case two pieces was a momentous occasion for me. If you have not taken the super easy Stylescope quiz at Home Goods check it out and find out
I was a bit skeptical a few years ago when I began to see recipes pop up for homemade Chai Latte Mix. I’m not a coffee or tea snob, but I love coffee, good tea and excessive amounts of Diet Coke. So with that much caffeine in my life I felt as though I would
If you have to bring a dessert to a party, and don’t want any leftovers, this is your cake my friends. And, by using my favorite Gluten Free baking mix by Bob’s Red Mill, this scrumptious dessert has no gluten. If you would like to make it with regular wheat flour, just replace the gluten
Most of us who are frugal refer to ourselves as being cheap, however frugality does not mean that we do not like to shop, spend, or even splurge. I believe (and this is just my opinion I could be terribly wrong) that the difference lies in value. Value is placed on things that are important
Pumpkins, apples, sweaters, boots, baking, candles, comfort food, family, friends….FALL! I have waited long enough to whip up a big batch of my favorite Pumpkin Coffee Creamer. My boys even love this stuff. We had a lot of fun making it together today while the September winds blew a few leaves around our yard, and
When I removed gluten from my diet just under a year ago, I was unsure of how I was going to continue to cook for my family and still enjoy my favorite foods. It’s in everything it seems like, especially when you cannot have it. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 20 years ago, and
If you were asked what your decorating style is, what would you say? Contemporary, Traditional, Modern, Shabby, Country, French Country…most of us blur the lines more than we realize (especially DIY’ers!) Blurring the lines seems to be my official style, and I love to combine shabby with high-tech. Modern with soft, a little unexpected
Hello there! Hope this finds you off to a fabulous week and enjoying a beautiful early September day. I am hanging out with Lisha & Kyle today at One House One Couple (they are renovating awesomspice, please go say hi and check out how far they have come!) Today I am sharing how to upcycle

If you love chevron, wreaths, and fall, then we are going to have a fab time getting crafty today. And, you will end up with an inexpensive super cute new fall wreath! I have really enjoyed my yellow and white chevron pillows in my living room all spring and summer, but they are
It’s officially September now, and I am now allowing myself to get really excited about fall. My mums have been purchased and just need to be planted, I am beginning a bit (and I do mean a bit) of organizing and window washing as summer winds down and reality has returned. I have been compiling a
The weekend is almost here and I am loving the weather! It’s sunny, but a bit crisp in the morning and evening. I am shopping for fall mums, and lovely rich flowers for our pots out front today. But not before sharing a really easy striped table re-do for a “new” entry-way table. I am

I have worn glasses since I was 12 years old. Now, we are not talking the chic, sophisticated 12 years old that I know you were. What I am referring to is an awkward trying-to-be-cool-but-clueless kid who was lost in a sea of plastic frames and photo-grey options. Not to mention the unicorn sweater and
Happy Thursday everyone! I am sooooo excited to be co-hosting the Thursday’s Favorite Things Hop at Katherine’s Corner this week. I have so much fun meeting you, getting to know you, sharing tips, advice, and ideas along the way. So today I want to share one of my favorite quotes, because it’s true. I am blessed to
