Here’s how we made them:.

How lucky am I?.We pinned up some dollar store garlands left over from last year and tied a little piece of red ribbon on our Mason Jar light..

This is my Spring wreath, which became my Fall wreath, which is now another Christmas wreath..I kept my $7 lanterns and my stools from the Fall mud room and just filled them with various Christmas bits and bobs.. A dollar store Christmas tree, dollar store ribbon, and left over burlap and pine cones.You can see just a bit of the hand painted sign I made last year when I seemed to have a bit more time on my hands.. How nice will it be when we have the wood floors one day?.

Kennedy decorated under the windows with whatever she felt like from the Christmas boxes.. Yup, that’s Dora!.I really haven’t bought much new this year at all in the way of Christmas decorations, but having a new (old) house to play around in has made all my leftover stuff from past years feel brand new.. More Christmas fun to come soon!Have you been outside to play today?.

Today I’m reminding myself to always keep my family’s health and wellness at the very top of my list of priorities.

I thought you might enjoy remembering this with me.We’re planning on starting a garden next Spring, so we had to dig up the grass in a section of the property because there wasn’t any garden from when the last owners lived here.. We decided to tackle the huuuuuge task this fall so that we’ll have a nice level area to make a skating rink for this Winter and then in the Spring, we can get right to work planting.. It’s really just a dirt rectangle right now, but we have plans for a white picket fence around it with gates on either end and berries planted all around.I know, it’s just a closet..

When I last took you through this closet, I told you I’d be back in a few months to work on it a bit more.I know myself well.. Now, I’ve finally got it finished.

Well, here’s an update anyway.. Do you even remember her closet?It was a looong time ago.
