Labor Day has come and gone which means September is finally here and it’s time to focus on fall! Put away the summer decor and bring out the autumn accessories…we’re ready for crisp, cool days, football Sundays, and changing leaves. See our Target fall decor inspiration below.
These earthy tones scream “hello fall!” and will make your home feel quaint and cozy. Muted yellows and greens reflect the changing of seasons while keeping it light and bright…especially helpful when the sun starts to set at 4pm. Soft lighting and fall-themed foliage will make the space extra inviting.
Deep blues, burnt reds, and brushed bronzes give a moody vibe to your fall decor. Ideal for snuggling up with a good book and glass of wine next to the fire, this decor theme is evoking “comfort meets class.” Give yourself total permission to snuggle up in your sanctuary and enjoy your fall to the fullest.
When we think of fall decor, we might not think of creamy neutrals immediately. But these tones can be a surprisingly perfect way to add autumn accents to your home. Mix off-whites with dashes of black and pops of gold and warm brown, and be sure to incorporate different textures to add warmth and depth and keep this from looking cold and clinical.

If you ask people where they spend the majority of their time in their home, most would probably say their kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home and the main hub where, really, all the action happens. From starting the morning with a cup of coffee or a healthy breakfast to ending the day with a nourishing family meal, the kitchen starts and ends our days and sets the stage for a lot of scenes throughout our day. Whether you’re gossiping with girls over an afternoon glass of wine or sharing a sweet dessert with your kiddos after sundown, having an organized kitchen makes all the difference in your day-to-day operations, and that’s no exaggeration. See our kitchen organization ideas below.
If you start your day with a giant, delicious cup of coffee, having an organized and dedicated coffee station can help set the tone for your morning. Get yourself a nice coffee machine and milk frother, use this wooden riser to store your flavored syrups in pretty bottles, coffee pods, and stirring spoons, and start every day in your own mini cafe.
If you’ve got a family that you’re regularly cooking dinner for, chances are you end up with leftovers pretty regularly. Finding the right lid for the correct corresponding container in your jumbled Tupperware cabinet can honestly be the final straw of a really chaotic day. These drawer dividers will help take the stress out of saving the leftovers.
Use the dividers to organize your packed lunch supplies, too! From Bentgo boxes to mini Crockpots, these dividers will keep all of your on-the-go essentials in easy reach.
The worst thing is trying to find the utensil you need from the depths of your utensil drawer when you’re in the middle of cooking. With these drawer dividers you can quickly spot whichever tool you need and avoid a cooking crisis.
So. Many. Water bottles. If you’ve got a big family, then you know everyone wants their own water bottles and to-go tumblers. And one is never enough! You need different colors, pretty patterns, and all the sizes. Take your water bottle cabinet from a hectic mess to a fabulous haven of hydration with these organizers.
Opening your refrigerator and seeing clean, organized sustenance is, like, an incredible feeling. From a leftover pizza storage container to an egg organizer and see-through bins for everything else you can imagine, these refrigerator organization essentials will be life changing.
And for your drinks, these dispensers will make sure you never have to reach all the way to back to grab that last thirst-quenching beverage!
If you have a designated pull-out cabinet for your trash bin but you prefer using a motion sensor one or this just isn’t enough space for your garbage can, don’t let this cabinet go to waste! This hack with storage bins makes the most of this space by adding extra out-of-sight storage.
Cleaning supplies are a must, and it’s so easy for them to end up causing more of a mess when they’re shoved underneath your sink. These roll-out and stackable bins make cleaning supply storage a breeze.
The junk drawer always feels like a scary place to visit, but with the help of these drawer dividers, this will be your new favorite drawer! Keep all of your extra hardware and tools organized and easily available.
This extra towel bar is great for adding a splash of seasonal decor to your kitchen or for making sure you have plenty of extra dish towels within reach.

Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day! Whether you are a longtime plant parent, or you’re just looking for simple ways to bring a little liveliness into your home, keeping plants can be such a rewarding experience! Taking care of them and watching them grow is a great way to feel connected to nature, purify your home, and stay grounded. See some of our favorite indoor plants below!
I love my fiddle leaf fig, and these guys can get really big! Unfortunately I had a little trouble with it when I first got it, so it lost a lot of its bottom leaves in the first few months. I’ve had this one for a little over a year now though, and it is going strong! It’s pretty easy to care for once you get it settled…I water it once a week and give it lots of love daily.
This red Chinese evergreen adds some fun color to your normal green foliage. This one can also grow pretty big, but I keep it in a medium-sized pot to help maintain its size. I also water this once a week, unless its looking a little droopy and dry and then I’ll give a little splash of water in-between regular waterings.
Aloe plants are super low maintenance! They also have healing properties which make them that much more special. While I haven’t used the aloe gel inside the leaves for any ailments, these guys are great to have around the house simply for their unique spiky growth patterns! I water these once every other week or so – they don’t need a lot of water.
While succulents don’t need a lot of care or attention, they can actually be a little difficult to take care of because most people want to over nurture (me, I’m guilty). Succulents were some of the first plants I ever tried to keep, years ago, and I ended up killing them all because I was overwatering. I have learned my lesson though, and now I give my succulents the littlest bit of water about once a month!
The golden pathos plant is one of my favorites – it’s SO easy to care for and it looks elegant! I love the way the tendrils grow long, and this is a really simple plant to propagate. I take cuttings often, and I always grow the cuttings right in water. I find this is the easiest way to do it, and they make nice additions in kitchens or bathrooms where you may not want to keep a plant in soil. The one I do have planted in soil I water once a week…the ones I keep in water I refresh every couple of weeks.
The OG snake plant!! This was the first guy I got when I started my second plant journey (after all the failed succulents) and he has grown so much since I first had him!! Snake plants are also really resilient and easy to care for, and also another one that’s easy to propagate. The cuttings can grow right in water as well, and they’re fun to watch because you get to see the pups (new leaves) as they begin to blossom! These are great to give as gifts too – give the cutting with a pretty jar or vase and it’s a simple and cheap housewarming or birthday gift. I water my snake plant once a week and refresh the cuttings in water every other week.
Tips & Tricks:
- Don’t overwater! When in doubt, water less. It’s easy to give a plant more water, but if you water too often and your plant gets root rot, there’s no coming back from that. You’ll get a feel for how often you should water once you’ve had your plants for a while, but I always recommend starting out with less watering than you think.
- Use room temperature water – extreme water temperatures (too hot or too cold) can shock a plants roots and prevent growth. Room temperature water is the best way to promote healthy growth!
- Talk to your plants! Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but plants are living creatures! Talking to them actually helps them grow – my plants all have names and I talk to them every day. I make sure they know how appreciated they are for bringing clean air and cozy vibes to my home.
- Be patient. Being a plant parent takes practice, and you might lose a few along the way. But don’t get discouraged…once you have a thriving jungle, it will all be worth it!

The leaves are falling, the crisp air has arrived, and the season of goodies is upon us. October through December have multiple holiday events – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and more, so that means classroom parties, various events, and the creation of goody bags, baskets, and more! Since my youngest daughter’s birthday is in October, I was invited to read a themed book, bring in a snack, and hang out with the class, and I used the opportunity to create pumpkin-themed buckets for her whole class! See our Halloween goody bag inspiration below.
My daughter turned five and is in Pre-K, so I kept it fun but still simple with a pumpkin theme: pumpkin buckets, themed cups, straws, glow sticks, and most importantly, snacks!
The snacks were fun – I found a lot of pumpkin-themed snacks like Entenmann’s pumpkin flavored muffins, gogo squeeze apple pumpkin spice applesauce pouches and decorative fun Skinny Pop popcorn bags.
I kept it pretty simple with Mott’s tots apple juice boxes, but I also ran across Swiss Miss pumpkin spice hot chocolate and just had to add it in. I read the book 10 Little Pumpkins, and the kids were super excited about their snack which was fresh fruit salad in waffle cone bowls topped with a dab of whipped cream – a healthy sundae!
Kristy is room mom for her daughter’s class this year, so of course she got right on her duties of helping to plan the first classroom party planned for October. She went straight to Target’s Hyde & EEK Bootique for plates, napkins, games and more goodies. She’s planning on serving slime punch in cauldrons and using festive food trays for snacks.
“You’ve been Boo’d” – yep that’s right, Kristy created Boo Bags for her kids’ classrooms! She took small clear gift bags and filled them with a bunch of fun little festive toys and a bunch of yummy goodies.
The options are virtually endless with what you can fill them with. Mini play-dohs, bubbles, the classic spider ring and themed pencils. I’m sure no matter what you come up with, the bags will end up being super spook-tacular! Happy Planning!
