I love decorating my front porch for the season. My home's front porch is tiny, and barely counts as a porch, however. So I squeeze as much decor as I can into a small space. I am sharing my fall and Thanksgiving front porch as part of the Pinterest Challenge.

If you follow my blog, you may have read that I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in June.
