    DIY Plaid Christmas Trees

    These DIY plaid Christmas tree decorations are SO easy to make and cost very little (or nothing!) to create! They are a great filler item for your seasonal farmhouse or rustic decor. This year is our first Christmas in our new home AND the first Christmas in years that we will be spending in our own home instead of traveling! Because of these two reasons, I was really excited to decorate this year! However, I quickly found out that I didn’t have even close to enough decorations to fill the space on our shelves.

I used to LOVE cranberry sauce from a can as a kid, bus as I’ve gotten older the cylinder shaped sauce started to gross me out. Needless to say, I hadn’t had any form of cranberry sauce in years.

I don’t sew!  As I thought about how a non-sewer like myself could get away with buying all this fabric, I noticed some cute Christmas sign decorations with plaid backgrounds. It was then that I came up with…

    Christmas Bucket List Activity Jar

    There is something about a new season that makes me so excited! I especially look forward to doing fun holiday activities with my family and am so excited to be able to include Henry in them this winter! I love the ever so popular seasonal bucket lists that float around social media this time of year–but sometimes looking at those lists can seem a little overwhelming–which completely defeats the idea of a fun bucket list, right?! I wanted to make something similar that would encourage us to enjoy some festive activities, but didn’t seem daunting–so I created this holiday activity jar! You can add as many or as few sticks…
