You’d think with a family of seven we’d have LOTS of Christmas traditions. And I guess we kind of do, but honestly none of them are extraordinary because… 5 kids. BUT… hang in there with me… the ones we have are practical and fun and things the kids ask about every year!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being invited to decorate a space in a local historic home for their annual Santa event. I had a few days to plot and plan, but ultimately had to pull together a fun colorful (show-stopping) space in under a week!

A few weeks ago, I had the fun opportunity to decorate our playroom for Christmas! It’s not a space that I typically consider for Christmas, but I’m SO glad I did. Obviously, this space gets tons and TONS of kid traffic so I couldn’t bring in anything too cute or fragile. I adore bottle brush trees and they’re basically indestructible so… I started by unpacking all of those first.
