Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Just saying ~ Bath and Body Works Fall Scents are AMAZING!

Sew Off The Subject

As fall is settling in the air here in Missouri, I started "switching" up the house today. It was time to put away the summer things, you know decor such as pillows, blankets, wreaths, etc. even the candles and wallflowers. As I unpacked my fall things I was so excited to find my Bath and Body stash from last year ~ candles and wallflowers! I am in love with their scents and just can't get enough.

I was even more thrilled to find that Bath and Body Works brought back my ALL TIME favorite scents from last fall, this year (even though I already have enough). I stocked up last year just in case they didn't bring it back this year, but they did. =) I never really review things but I want to pass along the love here! There is nothing I hate more than buying an expensive candle and getting it home to realize it don't like it ~ the good thing about BB candles though, you can return even if you've burned it, BOUNS!!! If you only buy 1 candle this fall make it a Slatkin & Co. Candle from Bath and Body and you won't be disappointed!

My 3 favorites are Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Autumn and Leaves. I have these scents in candles and wallflowers! Run to the store and pick some up!

Get festive this fall with our heartwarming fragrance that unites the beloved, autumnal scents of dark pomegranate, sweet red apple and woodsy fir balsam.

A harvest fave returns for fall! Our delicious, one-of-a-kind recipe combines sweet pumpkin pie, rich vanilla cream and a touch of cinnamon.


Like an afternoon spent jumping in a pile of freshly fallen leaves, this fragrance embodies all the richness of the season and features a medley of ripe delicious apples, red berries and golden nectar.
