Nerd alert! October 1st and our Halloween calendar is hung up and filled. Ready to inhale the best time of year. I used to be a lot more crafty than I am now (current level: 0% craftiness) and this calendar is a relic from that era that still gets brought out every year because my, … More Halloween Advent Calendar Ideas
I don’t always decorate for Easter, but when I do, I keep it weird and simple. This is as far as it went this year. Less strange than last year’s web, but same eggs holding tight! Lucky us, we have a glass hoarder AND a stick hoarder living in this household, so this modern take … More Easter Weirdness
Down to the wire! Popping in for a last minute post to share our other tree – so flocked – and a semi-clean family room before the big day. Though we rarely get a live tree, nothing says Christmas quite like a real tree covered in fake snow. A west coast invention I’m sure! My grandma always had the … More California White Christmas
Christmas happened all around the house but I’m only sharing the den today because of this real life fact: I’m incapable of having two rooms clean at the same time. Today the den is clean. The rest of the house looks like the Wet Bandits blew through town. My kids are in an incredibly prolific … More Christmas Den
Happy December! Can you not even judge me when I tell you that I have TWO Christmas advent calendars? Minimalist failure. I made a hanging pocket felt one and then a few years later, in a weak moment at target, I found this tiny door tree on clearance (here is a similar one!). I can’t commit to just … More Christmas Advent Calendar – Tiny Door Edition
I intended to share the Halloween decorating we did all in one post, but couldn’t quite get it done…thanks, offspring. I’m back today to finish what I started. The front porch! Here’s the simple ingredient list for an easy, big impact doorscape (did I just invent a word? prodigy alert!): bags of spiderwebs, spray painted wreath, pumpkins, … More Halloween Outside
Halloween, I’m feeling you! The kids have their costumes gathered, there’s been a few tarantula sightings on our street (THE BEST!), the weather is finally cooling down, and the decorations are up. I’m one of those who can’t help myself this time of year and ends up buying all the crap. When the trees start … More Halloween Inside
Hey there everybody! Here’s my weird project for the week. If it looks like I haphazardly strung some stuff together, it’s because I totally did! I usually do zero Easter decorating because I’m just not that into it. I have a deep reverence for the meaning of the day, but humans dressed as bunnies are so … More Easter Egg Web
Christmas decoration goals: To have less. To have better (no junk). To have cohesion. Tasteful but tacky. Festive but simple. Easy set up. Big impact. Minimal storage. I’m not even close to there yet, but every year I try to pare it down a bit to the best of the best/things I love most. My house is … More Christmas Overload!
I can’t seem to sync myself with the holidays this year! It feels like Halloween should have just passed and everyone should put their Christmas decorations away for a few weeks. I’m not being Grinchy – it’s just that this time of year is my favorite and I’m uncomfortable with how fast things are moving. Is this what … More Buying a Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree
How is it October? It has been so hot and we’ve been so busy that I’m having a hard time getting into the season like I usually do. But this weekend I couldn’t put it off any longer and I had to pull out our old Halloween calendar and fill it up. I’m sure you’ve seen these around, they … More DIY Halloween Calendar
