And hydrangeas win again 😅. I'm so glad I cut several hydrangea stems when they were in their green bloom state, because I'm totally loving them with our artificial trees! 🎄 One element I haven't figured out on the porch is what to put on that fun, old steel stool? 🤔 Any ideas? (I thought of maybe a fake poinsettia, but that felt *too* fake.) A large lantern maybe? . . . #holidayporchdecor #christmasporchdecor #christmasporch #holidayporch #hydrangeas #hydrangeasinwinter #christmashydrangeas #holidayhydrangeas #usewhatyouhave

I finally got the porch decorated! I'll have to get daytime pictures tomorrow, and the right side looks a little dark, so I might add a few more lights, but for now, it looks a WHOLE lot better than the sad, neglected half-swept remnant of fall that it was this morning! Changing things up a bit, I moved our 🎄 "porch trees"🎄 to the outer pots, leaving the more inner pots empty. What to do? An obelisk combined with sticks and "foraged greens" (foraged from the bottom of Walmart bins, with the manager's blessing - for free!) dressed up one nekkid pot decently, and a few pieces of firewood I think did a nice job stacked on the other. 👍 I may reevaluate in the daylight, but I think it looks great for now. 🎄🎀🎄🎀🎄 Do you ever decorate with firewood? I'm wondering what to do with it later...😅

The hall is decked! (Now, quick! Take pictures before the kids rearrange everything!) 😅🎀🎄☃️ . . . #holidaydecoration #holidaydecorating #holidaydecorations #feelingfestive

I made a different kind of video this week, all about 🎁GIFT ideas🎁 for the gardeners and composters in your life (9 of them, by chance!) 🎄 These are my favorite garden-related items that I use often, (and a couple from my own wish list,) so for the most part, they're tried-and-true and also very affordable. 💲👍🤩 If you have any gardeners or houseplant collectors to shop for (or yourself!?), definitely check it out.🎄🎀🎄 And, if you see anything that jumps out at you, please let me know in the comments, as I'm curious how MY favorite things appeal to others 😅 Link in bio! . . . #giftideasforgardeners #gardeninggifts #gardeninggift #greatgiftsforgardeners #giftideas #giftideasforher #myfavoritethings #gardenswag #gardenstuff

🎄Christmas decor is finding its way into the house! 🎄 Someone asked me this weekend how many bins of Christmas items we have, and I had to take a minute to think about it. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's interesting to hear how people organize their storage items! The official answer for us is: 🎄🎄 2 trees, 🔴 1 bin of ornaments/tree-related, 🌲 1 bin of garland, 🐪 1 box containing the fragile nativity scene, ⛄ 1 bin of just kid stuff (Christmas books and toys, Little People nativity) 🎀🎀🎀 3 bins of actual decorations, sorted by room. . So...7 bins or boxes plus 2 tree boxes, which sounds like a lot when it's tallied up! 🙈 I try to keep the decorations from expanding past our existing storage bins. As much as I love to decorate for the holidays, I don't love seeing an entire wall of storage bins in the basement 😅 Plus, we have 3 bins of outside lights etc that are stored in the garage. . . . How many bins of decorations do YOU have??? 🎀

We're getting some snow today! 12" shoveled so far and still coming down. ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️ The kids will bundle up and have a snow 'ball', and I'm sure there will be hot chocolate and too many screens today, too. 😅 . What are other ideas to keep them busy while we continue with our usual work-from-home day? . #snowday #coloradosnowday #thanksgivingbreakstartsearly #burbsandblooms #warmandcozy #stayingin
