Oh this is so good! Perfect on it's own or with a bowl of soup or dipped in cheese. Ok, I'm getting hungry now, what about you?
So why beer bread? The yeast in beer = instant bread. Beer bread is in the oven in about five minutes, and on your plate in under an hour. Super simple and easy. If you've never made bread before, this a great one to start with. It is believed that beer bread came from Egypt. There are drawings depicting the combination of bakeries and breweries together in their ancient art. Makes perfect sense right? We've taken that idea of the ages and elevated it with modern fall flavors to make your mouth water. It's a great addition to any Halloween event so grab your loaf pan, pumpkin pie spice and some measuring spoons and let's get cookin'!
Here's what you'll need to make your very own beer bread!

We’ve got HUGE news to share! Thanks to a new collaboration with Wayfair, some unique featured content is coming your way - AND amazing, high-quality highly rated home solutions are going to be provided to military families. YES!!!
It's been 3 years since the Moving with the Military team started this grass roots mission to serve and honor military families with home makeovers. As we’ve grown, we have been able to celebrate many families from all branches of the military by helping organize, remodel, renovate, and upgrade their homes with projects that transform their spaces and their lives. We’ve completed designs ranging from practical to innovative, industrial to bohemian, and minimalist to maximum style so we could meet the diverse needs of military families who give up so much while their service members provide and protect our country’s freedom. We reached out to Wayfair when we were just starting out and they encouraged us as we kept growing our vision and now we finally get the chance to partner with them and become Wayfair Homemakers!!! What does that mean? It means we have come together to broaden our brand’s audience and reach and inspire others with our design projects in our featured content. AND military families get amazing Wayfair products to make their housing feel like HOME. We can’t wait to begin. We will be launching video tutorials, blog posts, and awesome new content using Wayfair products. The exposure we will get through our featured content with Wayfair means we get to help more deserving military families, and share those great design tips with civilian families too. Now That’s How I Wayfair!!
We featured a fun "Quarantine Craft Time" back in April that we wanted to revisit since it was perfect for crafters of all ages and skill levels. It’s so fun and easy, and you can get the whole family involved, or just get crafty while you’re relaxing on your own.
All of the materials listed can be purchased and delivered to your house via Amazon, and the wood burning itself is fairly simple as long as you know how to trace. Kids can easily do this while supervised by an adult, and you can come up with all kinds of great things to display in your home from pictures, to quotes, to your favorite bible verse. First Steps for First-Timers The talented, Chandee Ulch, showed us everything we need to know about getting started, and It’s easy to get your hands on a wood burning kit- You can purchase just the wood pen and tips, or a full kit with stencils, stamps, and shading options for around $30. If you or your kids have done dot-to-dot's or have used tracing paper than this will be a breeze so don't feel overwhelmed. Try practicing on a piece of scrap wood if you'd like.
Step 4-
When you've transferred the design. It’s time to take the paper off and fill your design in with the hot tool. For simple fonts and line drawing, use the tip that looks like a pencil. However, you can play around with the different kinds of shading and learn just how crafty you really are. Just look at what Chandee was able to make with a lazy susan she already had at home. Isn't it beautiful!
Some things to keep in mind:
Show us what you made by sharing it with us on Facebook and Instagram! Let us know what your inspiration is behind your design too! I can't wait to see what amazing things you come up with! Did you miss the original video? Watch here and let's get crafty!

So here's the thing. I love decorating a fireplace for all the holidays, especially during fall and winter. It's the perfect time to bring out all the festive home decor pieces. Wouldn't you know it since my husband has been in the Army we have not had a house with a fireplace. I finally said that's it, we need a home with a fireplace. No, we didn't move. Instead I built a faux fireplace that we can take with us wherever the military sends us.
Cut List:
1 - 1 x 12 @ 51" (bottom) 1 - 2 x 8 @ 51" (top) 1 - 1 x 12 @ 48" (front) 2 - 1 x 8 @ 39 3/4" (front of column) 4 - 1 x 4 @ 51" (sides of columns) 2 - 1 x 6 @ 51" (decorative front column) 2 - 1 x 4 @ 35" (for front plate decorative piece) 4 - 1 x 6 @ 3/4" (bottom column sides) 2 - 1 x 6 @ 7" (bottom column front)
Here is the step-by-step video on how to make your own faux fireplace.
Here is my finished faux fireplace all decorated for fall.
I just love how cozy it looks!
