"I like to decorate for Christmas in phases-adding wintery touches (like the winter table and chandelier I shared here), a bit of greenery, some lights-then slowly building from there as Christmas approaches or as I'm inspired. Too much change all at once just overwhelms me! My goal in every season is to maintain my sense of peace, so the best way I know to do that is to go at my own pace and do only what inspires me when I'm inspired to do it!"
"How my home feels and how I feel in it matters deeply to me. Even though I've shared my home online for nearly 20 years now, I never decorate my home like it's a showplace. It is our sanctuary. I am true homebody at heart, so I love puttering-making a little tweak here, a little change there, in ways that work for us in our everyday life and honor the season we're in."
It's the week before Christmas and the to-do list feels long, but pockets of time were found for puttering. Decorating happens in phases: wintery touches, greenery, lights, then gradual additions as inspiration strikes. Too much change at once overwhelms, so maintaining peace requires going at a personal pace and doing only what inspires. Home feeling matters deeply; the home is treated as a sanctuary rather than a showplace. Small puttering tweaks honor everyday life and the season. Plans include sharing glimpses, photos, an annual Christmas video with family moments, and a pre-Christmas pep talk video titled "Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should."
