There has never been a year in my children’s lives where I have let them have ownership of the Christmas tree. I know. It’s just that we have lived in smaller spaces in larger cities all over the country for most of their growing up and that meant there was only room for one tree...
Tiny houses are a THING at Christmas, aren’t they? We love tiny Christmas villages and gingerbread houses and this year at Target I watched as a couple of ladies fought over the last set of small wooden Christmas houses in the dollar spot. It didn’t come to blows, but there was definite fist-fight ENERGY. I...

Although we aren’t particularly talented with it, we love making macrame projects (see our Dyed Macrame Keychains and Mini Macrame Wind Chimes). It takes us back to the days of making friendship bracelets and putting Chinese Staircase hair wraps in our hair! These DIY Macrame Christmas Ornaments use similar skills and only a few supplies,...
Hi, A question about the macrame cord you use for the trees. In the photos it looks like a multi strand braided cord. The link you provide goes to a 3-strand twisted cord on Amazon (which isn’t available ATM). I’m wondering that these are different cords, and would the result with the frayed tree be the same with the twisted cord? The braided cord seems to fray out nicely, judging by the photos, but would the twisted strands fray out as nicely? I really like that look.ReplyCancel
If you were around this blog on Halloween, you know that we have a thing for villages, and the most iconic of them all has to be the DIY Christmas village! There is something so magical about these tiny festive towns, and everyone has a different take on them! When I was younger I remember...

Now that our families are growing and the kiddos are outnumbering the grown ups when we get together, planning Thanksgiving comes with a little more thought than just what will be on the menu — we’ve gotta think about how we are going to entertain all of those dang kids, too! So, this year we...
Making holiday mocktails is one of the pleasures of my life that I really didn’t anticipate. I have never been the best baker or cake decorator, nor do I have the tools/skills to become one, but I love the idea of having a wow factor at a party. That’s why mocktails are so wonderful –...
