Winter Nursery Refresh

Sometimes it’s fun to change things up, especially around Christmas. Follow along to see my very simple Winter Nursery Refresh.

It’s the little things

This super cute pom pom garland is from Trader Joe’s. I saw someone else post about it and rushed to my local TJ’s to make sure there was still some left. I’m pretty sure Trader Joe’s has never disappointed anyone anywhere…

I really just added a few little things to his room, for several reasons. 1. I don’t have a ton of Christmas stuff that I could put in there. I like to keep it somewhat minimal overall. 2. I prefer a few Christmas touches, as opposed to Christmas overload.

That makes it easier to decorate and easier to clean it up. Sounds like a win-win for me.

I think it would be so fun to give Miles his own mini Christmas tree with his own little ornaments. Maybe next year. 🙂

Does anyone else’s kid have soo many books that they never fit on the shelf?? We have these great IKEA book shelves, but we need like 3 more to fit all of our books. I’ll work on it 😉

New Focal Wall

Winter Nursery Refresh

This focal wall was 100% an experiment gone slightly wrong. I cut a plus sign from a kitchen sponge to use as a stamp for this wall, but when I put it on the wall it looked awful. I’m pretty sure only half of the shape transferred from the sponge to the wall.

With some improv and a little finger-painting, I came to this and I’m actually really happy with it. I love that each plus sign is unique (and maybe the slightest bit rustic).

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂
A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the mo A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the more realistic view (which is really not bad at all 😂).
I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
