$If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go? (#ad) A few years ago when my husband and I visited Connecticut we spent the trip picking apples, trying apple cider donuts, and visiting fall festivals! I got some @fractureme glass prints of our trip and surprised him by pulling a photo from his phone too! You can use CODE: MICHELLE20 to get 20% off @fractureme! They make such pretty gifts especially with the holidays coming around! #FocusOnMoments$

Added a new rug to the bathroom to give it some fall feels! I also stocked up on Halloween bath bombs that smell so good🎃 Are you more into apple or pumpkin scents?

$Would you rather go apple picking, flower picking, or to a pumpkin patch? (#ad) Every year we love trying new fall traditions and last year we visited the prettiest zinnia and sunflower fields with Summer! I snapped this picture and it’s become one of my favorite memories! I’ve been wanting to fill our home with more personal pictures, but didn’t see anything I liked until I spotted these glass prints all over Instagram from @fractureme and I knew they’d look pretty and fit in with my decor perfectly!

What fall decor do you automatically gravitate towards? I can’t stop buying pumpkin and ghost themed things🎃

Do you live in the same city you grew up in or did you move somewhere new?

This is our first family picture in this home together! It was always my dream to move back to the city I grew up in, and now that we’re all moved in, it finally feels real.

(#ad) I did a little home tour/interview with @RocketMortgage talking about our home buying process and showing a tour of different spaces/projects we’re still working on! NMLS#3030

Since my husband and I weren’t planning on buying a home when we did, we were very unprepared. Something I would highly suggest before looking for a home is determining a budget you feel comfortable with and looking into a mortgage partner who can help you understand your home loan options to find a mortgage company and gather a lot of the necessary paperwork for a loan. I wish I knew about Rocket Mortgage® because they really help make the home buying process easier. They have an Online Learning Center, to arm you with as much information as needed throughout the process. They provide you personalized loan options based on your budget and situation. You can even access your mortgage information at your fingertips via their app, so it’s really convenient when you need to reference the documents at any given time. They are there to help you every step of the way.

Nothing says fall like sunflowers and candles🌻🕯 What’s the very first thing that pops into your mind when you think of fall? My first thought is pillsbury pumpkin cookies🎃

Raise your hand if you’re excited for fall movie nights!🙋🏻‍♀️ I did a poll on y’all’s favorite fall movies and Harry Potter was at the top, but there was a bit of a debate between whether it’s a Halloween or Christmas movie! Which holiday do you think of when you think of Harry Potter?
