On my way out one morning, I opened the door and suddenly realized that autumn had arrived with all its splendor and glory. I heard a crackling sound as a little breeze swept through the yellow, red, and purple leaves.
I began to dream up ideas for my homes fall decorations. I headed over to Pinterest to get some inspiration. I came across the words “fall in love with Jesus”. And that birthed the theme that would take center stage in my homes fall decorations.
I came across a fall themed mason jar letter banner. This was the perfect way to display the words “fall for Jesus”, a shorter version of “fall in love with Jesus”. I found a crate outside of my church. I took one of the side panels to use as the frame that would display my banner. I hung the words on the wood panel with clothespins. I added a decorative flower garland I bought at The Christmas Tree Shop. On each side of the frame, I placed two mason jar printables that worked with the theme. I repurpose my own mason jars to put sunflowers, wheat bunches, and candy corn. To finish the buffet decorations I added two white pumpkins. When everything came together I was very excited that this year my fall decoration would be centered on God.
On the outside of our home, I was inspired by what you would see at a farm in the fall. At Stew Leonard’s I purchased corn stalk, a scarecrow, pumpkins, and flowers. I wanted to surprise my boys so I waited until they were asleep to decorate. Despite doing everything in the dark it turned out beautifully and the boys loved it.
For October I designated a small section for a Halloween display for the boys. I’m not about doing things on the scary side because I want to bring out the fun side of Halloween. I placed a decorative tree inside an apple basket and added some fake fall leaves. My boys then decorated the tree with little ornaments. I also placed a plastic jack-o’-lantern with some candy corn. Bad idea, I had to remove it because my boys kept eating it.
