a fun vlog of fall things aaand what's consuming my life :)

[@maddiehicks7278]

glad i’m not the only one decorating for fall even though it’s currently 90°

[@CaraJane]

Haha you're definitely not the only one! :)

[@mayarothschild190]

Hi Cara, Thanks for another great video. Love the fall decor, I'm always especially interested as I live in a rural area so seeing what people buy/ browse at the store is helpful, since it's a mission to go shopping. Have you tried accupucture? I remember from one of your birth vlogs you're not a fan of needles... however it's really helped me a ton with my personal health. I live in a coastal area and paddle board, kayak, bike and do mom stuff - toddler lugging haha. Accupucture has really helped me. I go about every three weeks or once a month. That seems like a big committment, but it's helped me a lot to have less pain and more energy. For me it's about a 60 minute appointment. The person I see does some massage and once the needles are in he lets them sit and turns on heat lamps so it's very relaxing (probably hard to believe lol).

Cara! I missed you! So sorry you haven’t been feeling your best, I hope it gets better soon. Your fall decor is looking so great!🍂🍁🎃

[@loriyensho2053]

I’m SO sorry about the sciatica pain! I had a bulging disc for awhile and it was so hard to be a mom and deal with that. Praying that you can find relief for that soon. I love your style. Your fall decor looks amazing! You always know just how much to edit and how much to add. Good job!

[@kenziesettle872]

The vase turned out so cute!

[@mrs.sanchez4413]

I’m 25 and have extremely bad sciatica and the doctor gave me a muscle relaxer because I kept having muscle spasms in my slipped disc and I take one and wake up the next more and the pain has gone. But, it does come back if I try and lift anything other than my kid who’s 4

My daughter works at “At Home” in NJ loves it she is supervisor.

[@1mama402]

Oh I haven’t been to Our At Home store in a few years , it’s the next city over but I think I’m gonna go this weekend. Love the mantle but think you should keep the new blanket and swap it out with the existing one just for that small hit of fall color the new blanket has. It’s okay to have a few different blankets for different seasons in my opinion. Glad to see you all doing well, I’m so sorry about your back pain.raying it resolves, so nice your family has been helping!

[@jeseniacontreras6775]

Im in cali which it’s still hot!! I decorated two days again 😅. My son who’s 3 said “mommy Halloween” so excited. Anyways I love Joann’s because they have more coupons available. I save more 😂

[@carolb148]

I go to my chiropractor for adjustments when my sciatica is bothering me and it is a miracle. So you might look into going to a chiropractor and getting adjustment. I go to total health chiropractic and I think they’re all over the United States.

[@mikelmelton]

I wasn't a big fan of candy corn until I ate it mixed in with buttered popcorn, GAME CHANGER!!! Serena (Louisiana)

[@stacytesterman5125]

Random but in my area our libraries "share" books and I can order through one library and they will deliver to another if that makes sense. Maybe ask your local library if they have that? I think candy corn has the texture of wax but just taste sweet to me. I wouldn't pick it but would eat it if offered to me 🙃 Feel better, thanks for sharing!!

[@mori.kurogawa7936]

Oh man, I love fall and fall decor so much, I'd love to do that, too. But I'm at the peak of all-day "morning" sickness and barely cope with the simplest tasks. Just hanging on. Hope I can still do some of it in October, where it is supposed to get better. Sorry you struggle physically, too, wish you health and a solution soon 🍀

[@CaraJane]

Oh nooo! I hope you start feeling better soon and are able to enjoy some of the fall season!

[@mamazori5557]

I definitely don’t like candy corn, I agree with you Cara. Lol loved the Fall décor shopping! Fun fun fun! I love Fall too! I also struggle with sciatica, ever since after having my son who is now almost 5. Definitely no fun to deal with, I hope it gets better for you!

[@CaraJane]

Haha it's gross! Thank you so much! And so sorry you struggle with it too... it's so difficult while watching the little ones. Hope you can get it figured out also!

[@ellie12ize]

Hi Cara! So sorry about your pain. I was misdiagnosed with sciatica before they discovered I had an autoimmune called ankylosing spondylitis. You should look it up and see if your symptoms match it. Just sharing because I was in a lot of pain that looked like sciatica, chronically. Don’t want to scare you you or anything, just sharing in case your pain persists.

[@kaya.graceee]

book recs: The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams, The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, Finlany Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano, Plot Twist by Bethany Turner, and Dear Henry, Love Edith by Becca Kinzer. Enjoy! :)

[@sarahwelch2908]

Cara, I had sciatica pain and I am seeing a chiropractor and it has relieved my pain.

[@emilymussler9698]

I prefer JoAnns over Michael's too but always end up there due to closer location. But I love Hobby Lobby too--especially for things for my little girl's bedroom! I'm so sorry about sciatica pain. I have it too. I'm finally managing it reasonably well. I had to get a 90min massage every 2 weeks for about 6 months and then now I get a 90min maintenance massage once a month. I have not had a flare up in about 3 years. And I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old, so I can relate on how hard it would be to not be able to lift your children and care for them like you normally do. I hope you feel back to your old self soon!

[@nolaranft9499]

Praying you’ll get relief from your sciatica pain. 🙏 I like seeing the girls help you put your mums in the pot.

[@juliecrooks3495]

Lovely video Cara, so real quick I have suffered from disc pain as well as sciatica . I would be lost without a tens machine!! highly recommend you try one!! It helps sooooooo much!

[@clarissardehling]

Hey Cara! So happy to see a video posted from you today! I absolutely love your fall decor and can't wait to have a faux fireplace and mantle one day! The whole concept is so darn cute! I'm the same way, where I don't like to spend so much for seasonal decor. Target Dollar Spot is my go-to place for all things decor. I'm so sorry that you've been in so much discomfort and pain. I relate SO much with the sciatic pain. It is seriously the worst. I hope you get some relief soon. Enjoy this cooler weather and the transition into the fall season. Hope all is good and well. All the best, -Clarissa 😊❤🥰 P.S. Any upcoming birthday plans for you!?

[@allisonmarie365]

Hi Cara! Happy fall season! 😄 I also do not like candy corn. It's quite gross 🫢 There are no Joanns near me so my default is Michael's, which is fine because I really do like shopping at Michael's. I'm so sorry you have sciatica. That must be so hard to not even be able to do daily tasks and being a mom. 😔 Praying for healing! 🙏 I can't believe what an amazing swimmer Quinn is! She's such a big kid now 🤯 LOVE your mantle decor!! Such a great job! Have you started homeschooling Quinn? How is that going if you did? Loved this video! Can't wait for the next one. 😄 Have a great weekend! 💛

[@CaraJane]

Hi! Thank you! Same to you :) Aww Michael's really is great! I didn't really have an official "start date" for pre-school with her, but we're just continuing what we were doing before which is trying to do at least 1 activity book or flash cards etc. at some point during the day. Most days she wants to do a lot more than that tho, so I do as much as I can with her until she's done haha!

[@tonisangel5024]

I'm so sorry you've been dealing with Siatica have you ever tryed Accupunture? It helps me alot! Glad you have your mama near by to help out thats a blessing isn't it..❤ I'll be praying for you sweetheart..💥🙏💥🧡🌟🧡

[@debbiekotch6006]

Hi Cara, glad to see you again! Definitely do not like candy corn. Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday. Michaels! Joanns sells lots of wreaths. Love your decorations. Happy reading!

[@meganpepper787]

Cara have you tried the chiropractor? That is what made the difference with my sciatica. I'm so sad there are many youtubers that have stopped showing their children. Even though I understand why...I just loved seeing Quinn and Bria. God bless you honey.

[@CaraJane]

Yes I did for quite a while actually and it would help short term but always ended up coming back so they ended up referring me to PT. :)

[@angelab3109]

I think Joanns has more unique seasonal decor that you can only find there but Michaels has everything for crafting and at a cheaper price from my experience!

[@maridiaz6219]

Aww add some more colors to the decor 🧡💛🤎🧡

[@mariahcooke5157]

Hi Cara, I’ve read the Swan Abbey book and it was really good! I’m also really not a fan of spooky dark books, even though I love mystery so I feel ya on that! I think the book has a good element of suspense/mystery but is not overly spooky in my opinion! I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@Nope-j1t4f]

I agree, candy corn is gross and tastes like candle wax. For the books, I don't have any recommendations as of yet but some of the ones you mentioned in the video sound good. The libraries in my county offer what they call an "interlibrary loan". If your "main"/local library does not have the book you want to take out but another library in the county does, you can request it through this loan. Your library will pick up the book from that town's library and you in turn pick it up/drop it back off at *your* library. And when you are done reading, you drop the book back off at your library who then sends the book back off at it's original location/library. So no extra traveling for you, just to/from your normal location-also it's free to use this program. I hope that makes sense! 🙂 Anywho, you can always check with your library to see if they offer anything like that in your area.

[@carolb148]

Have you read the redemption series by Karen Kingsbury? She is a Christian author, and that set of books is awesome.

[@Thefrugalfernandez]

So late on watching but your hair looks so cute! ❤

[@beingkitschroeder2507]

I feel like it's been forever since I've seen one of your videos! 💞 Looking forward to seeing all things fall. 🍂 HL is closed on Sunday, same as Chik-Fil-A. I like both Joann and Michael's. Sorry about your sciatica issues, I sometimes reread books from my childhood (teen years) that I liked and remember. Last year I read "The Wife Upstairs" and it was okay. Not the best, not the worst, just kind of Okay.

[@mayarothschild190]

Team candy corn. Please make a fall Playlist 🍂 🥮

[@doravalencia2214]

I've never had candy corn lol 😆 prefer Michael's, my Joan's is just fabric and that isn't my craft lol

[@shelleybeless]

Recommending a book called The Apple Orchard :)

[@Kelly-Kay]

I tastes like delicious wax though lol I prefer Michael’s. I feel like the prices are better. This Florida girl is so ready for fall despite the weather 🍂

[@FitnessGirl20]

I hope your health gets better. I have been dealing with veritgo for a month now and just dont know how to get it to go completely away 😭 Beautiful fall decor 🍂

[@CaraJane]

Thank you, and I'm so sorry! That has to be hard... I hope you get your figured out also!

[@Jennygeee]

Sorry I’ve missed a few of your videos I don’t know why as I am subscribed but I didn’t see them. One thing I noticed is that you don’t show the girls, is this just for this video or the way you plan to go now?

[@Heroic_Frog]

I really enjoyed this video! Have you ever heard of thrift books? It's a great place to buy used books and you get free shipping spending $15 or more. We've bought a lot of books through them already.

[@carolb148]

Yes they are always closed on Sunday. 🩷
