Welcoming Fall to the Homestead | Cozy Fall Decorate with Me

Hey Friend, join me in our little home for some cozy fall decorating and baking as we welcome Autumn to the Homestead. I'll show you how I decorate for fall on a budget, still bringing warmth and colors of the season to our space. We'll bake some Chai Scones and make some Salted Caramel Creamer and talk a little bit too.

Thanks for hanging out,
Kelsey

Your introduction was beautifully said. I think we are all nervous with the upcoming election and it’s in God’s hands. What a reminder that we need to focus on him and the love he showed to us through Christ. Thank you .

[faye]

Thank you. I've been allowing myself to be overwhelmed by the things of this world instead of being still and knowing that He is God. This is just what I needed.

[madeleinemazie]

I completely agree with your words. People say if you shut out the world how are you supposed to know what’s going on? to be honest, I want to be left alone with God, my family, and my very few good friends, who bring me happiness and joy. When I am creating a warm, loving atmosphere, I can hear myself think.

[christinaheesakacowden-wut]

Amen to what you said at the beginning. Let`s all turn our hearts and thoughts to God and let`s make an effort to do good and beautiful things every day. We have to lift each other up, in spirit and in real time too. Together we can make a difference. Wonderful video, thank you so much. It made me happy. 🙂

Love your introduction! God is Sovereign! Creating beauty in a broken world! 🤍🤍🤍

God bless the USA and make our country safe again. You decorated your home beautifully for the fall.

I am so thankful that someone that I watch consistently FINALLY addressed our current climate in this country. We travel full time so, you kinda feel like one of my only "friends" so-to-speak. Lol. I have found myself wondering what anyone else with our lifestyle thinks or has to say about the situation we're in and the possible threats that come with this upcoming election. We are NOT political in any way anymore because none of them hold true to Godly values and morals. But, unfortunately, we're still seeing the effects of those who are buying into the chaos being put into play.

I am so pleased to find your site! All I have to say now is as a 74 year old grandmother who loves to decorate by the season, but please, never spend a ton of money on “stuff” with which to decorate. Your home is gorgeous! Using found items and natural items is perfection, especially in your lovely country home. It us so full of love, warmth and comfy! A perfect place to cuddle in with friends and family and count your blessings.. your new friend, Schotzy!

You honestly have the best musical selections of anyone I follow on YouTube. Very peaceful, which is exactly what the world needs right now.

[JoyHuffman-by]

Thank you for the beautiful reminder of who is truly in control🙌🙌

[languagelynnie]

Amen!!! Do not leave your post, ladies! Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.

[PamelaBream]

Thank you for your faith filled introduction! My children are all grown, but I get inspiration for things to share with my grandchildren & for homemaking classes to share with other women. We women need each other more than ever! I also live in South Central, PA - such a beautiful place!!!

[nicolp]

Our Father has it all under control, and He is good always. Loved your words and I’m right there with you friend. We will always be the light no matter the circumstances. ❤

[sharenp]

Oh I totally agree with the state of this world. I continue to have a peaceful and slow paced life as much as I can, this world is not my forever home which is where I try to stay focused on. I love the picture above the fireplace, just gorgeous! Great job on the decorating. Several delicious recipes I think I’ll have to make some, I love scones. Have a blessed day 🍂

Hello, just what I needed today a visual conversation with you Kelsey. May God bless your family and home today and every day x

[megheuman]

This video was so welcoming to people of any faith.

[cindyclark]

This has been a beautiful God centered video and I have thoroughly enjoyed it!!! 🍁🧡🍁🧡

[KarenSmith-docb]

Your intro was exactly how I feel, I couldn't have said it better - straight from my own heart. Thank you for this beautiful reminder and for the inspiration to cozy my home for this season!

[beekind]

Watching you create a warm and cozy Fall environment in your home while listening to such peaceful music has been a wonderful way to begin the weekend. You are a blessing.

[joycej]

Thank you for expressing what everyone is feeling. This is my first time to watch one of your videos. Your approach to Fall is refreshing, no Hobby Lobby signs and knick-knacks.
