FROM THE ARCHIVES ❄️⛸️🌲some of my past favorite winter looks mostly because I miss real pants and being able to button my coats
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻

OMG! Ya'll are so crafty! (AND SUPER TALENTED!) Are you selling them anytime soon (hint hint)??
wow, these ornaments are amazing!
I'm a Zeta Tau Alpha too! Your sister picked an AMAZING sorority! Love the Zeta ornament 🙂
These are SO cute and creative!
they're lovely!
I'm a ZTA and I am obsessed with the ZTA ornament!
Love the Carly one!! These are adorable, thanks for the post!
So gorgeous!!
Those are absolutely darling, all of them! Do you paint them yourself Carly? They are amazing, I wish we carried something like that!
Big smiles at you for the New Year!

Looks like summer camp crafts
I'm a ZTA! I love the zeta ornament especially, but they are all adorable!
Love, love ALL the ornaments….am dying over the Zeta one…I was a Zeta, and so is my daughter…someone could make a mint selling these to alumni and collegiates……
Those Ornaments are PRECIOUS! I do sort of the same thing but I print a picture on overhead projector paper and put it in the clear ball and I have painted some too. You're so creative!
ps, Im a Zeta too! blogging introduces you to so many new people! i have found a handful of zetas on here! Hope you have a great semester of school and hope ZTA is going good for you!
Conjured? So, rather than your mother making them, you used your imagination and suddenly just made the ornament collection appear, as if by magic? I think the word you're looking for is "assembled," or perhaps "gathered."
ZTA! 😀 <3
