Yes, decorating for Christmas can be this easy. So why, oh why has it been a two month process? I posted about this on my Facebook page the other day… and I know I’m not alone. At Christmas time (and every other time of the year too) we can feel this insane pressure to do and be it all, all the time.
This year I have learned SO much! But by far the best thing I’ve learned is that I don’t need to be it all do it all all the time. This has been my busiest, and most relaxing Christmas season ever! WHAT?! That makes NO sense? Well for instance I don’t LOVE baking so I have not made a single Christmas cookie yet. It’s just not my thing. Not doing it would make some people miserable but it has set me free! I’ve had more time to visit, host parties, decorate, and make handmade gifts. (and so many of you have been SO good to our family…… keeping us busy wrapping up lovely lil packages for you! Thank you!!!) And because of an abundance of supportive people in my life (especially my husband and my sister Annaliise) I am able to do SO much more of the things I love and share them with you.
Alone, would be such a lonely place to be, wouldn’t it?
I’m not sure if I’m the only one feeling this way but I really do feel a deep sense of something growing and changing. I’m not sure if it’s me, my business, my family………. or all of the above. Not in any monumental ways……. but in the small ways. The ways that if you don’t stop to pay attention you might miss ‘em.
I love the way they kept finding their way into these pictures. I usually always snap a few to keep them happy and tell them to scram (boy!! Does that ever make me sound like a heartless Mom!) But I decided especially for this shoot……. what the diggens, keep them in there. They are what makes home home. I have a feeling that someday when they are grown and gone all the decorating, creativity, etc…… might not have the same level of excitement to it. I could be totally wrong but I envision that at that stage, maybe(?) I won’t need the free therapy?? 
ok…….. I am off to dream and plan and play and celebrate Christmas with the family for the next couple of weeks!! Merry Christmas to each and every one of you! We are so thankful for you and feel so lucky and blessed!
The Prince of Peace is born!!!
I am leaving you with another corny DIY video (just the way I like ‘em!), a few more photos, and one last giveaway for the year! (go all the way to the bottom for the giveaway details!) Congrats to Valerie #52 for winning last weeks giveaway!

AS you said, alone is a hard place to be. And that’s me this year. I can’t seem to get into the Christmas spirit. I’ve been told my job ends Dec. 24th (and with it my place of residence because I live with the lady I take care of). Instead of feeling festive and celebratory, I feel depressed and dark, scared and worried, frustrated and angry. That being said, I really enjoy your blog and would love to win a year’s subscription to your magazine, which I find uplifting and beautiful. I must say I’m a bit envious of your close family, but I am so glad you have that blessing. I hope you have a Christmas filled with peace, joy, and love and a new year overflowing with abundant blessings. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Heather ♥
Merry Christmas! You have a lovely home and family. I am glad I finally learned I don’t have to do it all : more relaxed and less stressed that way. It’s all about enjoying what you have with those closest to you & sharing with others …all the best for the new year.

Heather, I share your pain over the Connecticut tragedy. My heart goes out to everybody involved either directly or indirectly. You may remember the murder/suicide that took place on Christmas morning in Grapevine, Texas, last year. The 9-1-1 call made by the shooter was heard nationally as he said “I’m shooting people.” You could hear the dispatcher as well – and she’s my daughter. I cannot even imagine what is going through her mind today as that 9-1-1 call is being televised and so close to the one-year anniversary of the Christmas morning shooting. Please include her in your prayers, as well as the police officers, the firefighters and the medics that handled the incident as you pray for the Connecticut shooting.
I want you to know that I love your blog and what I mostly love is how you personalize each posting. It makes me feel like you are talking to me – and only me. I always smile when I see my name. And this post, of your home and your precious children is no exception. I hope you have a heavenly Christmas – even without baking cookies!
I would love to be the winner of the subscription of Homebound Magazine. But if I’m not, then I hope the winner enjoyes every word, idea and photograph. Thank you!
Merry Christmas, kiddo. Would love to win the prize.

Heather, on this great day of sadness, it warmed my heart to read your blog post. You are so right to enjoy every minute of your children..it’s lovely to see them in your pictures.
I received my first issue of Homeward Bound today..couldn’t have come at a better time. Take all the time you need for the holidays with your beautiful family…Merry Christmas
Hugs, xoxo
Andrea
LOVE the littles in the pictures! So cute. Love the tree and other decor as well. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Love your blog and magazine. Your daughter in the photos is so sweet.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your beautiful magazine. Christmas isn’t about cookies, but family. Keep enjoying your family and make beautiful memories. You can always buy a package of cookies at the market right? My prayers also go out to the families in CT.

I love your pictures of your home and children.
Love your magazine and blog! Thank you
Yes, today has been such a tragic, sad, difficult day. Somehow your sweet words that there are some new bright lights in heaven has helped. Then I saw your precious, beautiful children and your cozy home, and you… and the world seemed brighter and the spirit of Christmas reawakened. May your home and family be filled with joy and the blessings of Christmas.
Merry Christmas Heather to you and your precious loved ones.
How exciting it would be to win a years worth of your beautiful ideas and inspiration in PRINT!! Happy Holidays!

If I could turn back time, and my kids were the ages of the cute little ones in your photos, I would PURPOSELY have them included in each shot…,,,you can’t capture the memories too often! Merry Christmas!
Your home looks so lovely and I have to say, those sweet faces in your photos truly make the Christmas spirit come alive in the photos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Heather,
I thoroughly enjoyed your post. It was striking to me how the pictures came to life when your adorable little ones were in them. The pictures without them made me think of the families who sent their babies to school yesterday morning and whose lives will never be the same. I wish you the best and enjoy your time off!
Sue
Love your pictures. I liked you on facebook. I hope I win the subscription.

Wishing you and yours a wonderous Christmas! My thoughts and prayers are with the families in CT.
Everytime I look at your postings or your DIY projects I have a sense of pease and tranquility. It all reminds me of my childhood where everything was warm and comforting.
Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours. Enjoy your videos.
Love the garland, Heather! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! xo
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Yes pray for the families in CT. God is with them. May they find Peace and stillness during their troubled times..
Thanks Heather ! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year !
Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you for the generous giveaway! I love your Christmas post and the attitude you encourage for enjoying the simple moments of the holiday season!
Just love the arrangement in the applesauce press. I have one of those; why didn’t I think of that?! And that’s just why I love your blog-simple pleasures using simple things to keep my home simple and sweet. Thank you for inspiring me to go beyond my own very limited imagination!
I would love to win! I got my first Homebound in print and only got to look at a few pages, but so far it’s wonderful!
I really enjoy your repurposing ideas of the vintage. It makes it feel so much like a home with the touch of our familys past.
LOVE the simplicity of everything that you do, also like your idea of not doing everything.just do what you’re good at, and farm out the rest. Would love to win this magazine!
I would love to win, but if I don’t I’ll get that subscription. I’ve purchased every one so far and LOVE it. I really appreciate the chance to slow down and enjoy what I have. I agree wih others, vintage and simple are the key. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
The garland is so pretty—I love how the sunlight shines through the oranges like stained glass.
The antique lamp piece as a cake stand is so creative.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Love the little ones in your pictures. Precious! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Enjoy your time with friends and family.
Pinned it.

I love that you’re little ones have found their way into your photos…
Always beautiful.
This garland. I love natural. Greenery. Simple. All together – it’s sweet!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. By the way. I can relate to what you said about this year being the most relaxed and the most stressful of all. Too weird how that works. But it’s true for me as well.
My prayers join yours for those hurting today in CT.
Merriest of Christmas to you and your family !
Thank you for your sweet down to earth style is so inspiring !
I HOPE so much to win your years subscription to HOMEBOUND mag .

Heather, I would love to win a full year’s subscription of your lovely magazine. Christmas is such a special time. Our children are all grown and have families of their own so I am thankful that we can enjoy the magic of Christmas through our grandchildren. We are truly blessed.

If nothing else, to remind me of the glories of the moments before our rewards are all grown and gone. Thank you – and what a wondrous gift winning the subscription would be! Blessings of His peace to you!

Dear Heather, I love your style, photos, projects and more.
I also wish to add to your sentiments regarding the horrific tragedy in Ct. The only consolation I have is that Jesus was there in that classroom arms wide open welcoming those babies home…. Bless all, Tracy
Love your cozy house, and your chubby little girl is adorable!!
Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Thanks for sharing your unique decorating style! It’s freeing and gratifying to realize what we can make from nature’s bounty. Merry Christmas!
Heather,
I love your photography and always enjoy your pictures so much, and maybe it’s just me, but I think the ones with your absolutely darling little ones are the best of all. I hope you continue to include them!
Thanks for all the inspiration.
Have a very Merry Christmas,
Kathy

Love it Heather! Great video, and you look fabulous. Love your simple farmhouse style, and so glad you are enjoying a more relaxing holiday season this year. I left many boxes of decorations in storage and opted for fresh greenery and logs and branches for decorating at our house. They are so simple and pretty I might not take them down until I get spring fever.
Enjoy the Christmas season with your wonderful family. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us. I love them!
Kate
I’m LOVING the videos, Heath! That shot with the garland and oranges over the door makes the oranges look like stained glass…beautiful! Can’t wait to see you in a few days!
The photo of your daughter stringing the red beads is Priceless!
Jean
Heather, as usual your home is beautiful! I wasn’t blessed with a lot of creativity, but you were, and I get inspired by you! Love that you left your little ones in the photos. Hope you and your lovely little family have a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for all the beauty you bring into our lives!
Hi Heather. My finger is tired from scrolling down through all your comments, but I could not pass up the chance to tell you that I love your tree, garland, and that sweet little girl. That is what makes a special home and in light of all that has happened in the last few days, it is more important than ever to remember and know this. I love the simpleness of your decorating and I’m seeing so much of that this year as it is my first Christmas season on blogging and I am going to take the time to simplify my decorating next year. Even if the kids are grown and gone it is still a joyous time to them and they will always appreciate it, especially if you did it for them when they were small..Have a wonderful weekend..Judy
I love your Christmas decor!! I’m def going to use your tutorial to make garland, even tho there’s only a week and a couple days ’til Christmas! Out with the fake, in with the real! I’d love to win a subscription! Thanks for another great opportunity. Merry Christmas!
HoHoHo and tail wags to all. ~moose

I won’t look as cute as she does…but it will make me smile. Love your blog.. would love to have your magazine in print! What a great cup of coffee & mag combo!!!

Heather, I love seeing pictures of your home and your children. You are such an inspiration !! I am enjoying being a grandmother to a beautiful almost 4 year old little angel. I try to do DIY projects and such with her that I didn’t see to do much of unfortuneately with my own daughters when they were young. I was a FT out of home working mom and time was limited. Your home and homelife see to be just perfect, I am thrilled to see that with a young family. God Bless your family this holiday season !!!
I would love to win your magazine! Love your down to earth style & approach. Thanks for the chance!
Such precious photos of your little people, I miss the days when mine were that little. Now they are grown, 19 and 21 and the 21 yr old is leaving for a semester in Canada and I am really feeling the blues. I know how exciting it will be for him and I am so happy that he is going but this Momma Bird just doesn’t want her babies to fly away! I treasure the moments this Christmas will bring and look forward to a New Year full of Blessings and growth…I adore your lavender soap AND your magazine! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family xo Many many Blessings to you!!!
Heather, I appreciate all the work and love you put into your blog and magazine, and goods. I wish you a heartfelt Merry Christmas filled with joy and rest and family. Yes i want o win anything you give away!

Heather you are so creative and talented. I would treasure a subscription to your magazine. You are indeed a beautiful woman.
Hi Heather:)…love your blog!….Thanks for a chance to win such a lovely gift. Blessings to you and your family:)
Love your Farm House Style!! And I love that snow covered view out your windows. We don’t get much of that here in Texas. I would love to win a subscription to your magazine!Have a blessed Christmas!!
Heather, as an empty nester I can tell you that you’re absolutely right. Your home will feel different when the kids are all grown and gone but other good stuff will come down the pike for you. Good for you to have found the answer to the Christmas pressure and insanity! I’ve enjoyed your blog all year. Keep up the beautiful work!
keep up the videos. you’ll get your head in the frame eventually!
Glad you found the combination of activities (like no baking) that helps you best celebrate Advent Season. Thanks so very much for sharing your joy and talent.
Wishing a year of even more dream fulfillment in 2013.
I just love your farmhouse style…and the photos are beautiful! Wishing you & yours a very Merry Christmas:)
I love seeing your children in your photos, and I can just imagine them enjoying all of the preparations for Christmas. Mine are grown, but having our 4 grands nearby keeps the joy in our hearts. I am holding them extra close this Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family, Heather.
Heather, your simple way of decorating is such an inspiration to me! When there is less around to look at, it really makes the things that are there stand out even more! The only thing that doesn’t fit in that thought is your children!! Love, love the pics of all of the children! I have really dreamed of having your mags sitting on my coffee table, and be able to pick them anytime! This would be a fabulous win! But if not for me, I know that someone will get loads of inspiration & ideas! Thanks for the chance.
From my home and heart…. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Thanks for making my days with your posts. I do enjoy your blog very much!
Many Blessings,
Karen

The giveaway is probably over, but I just found you and I’m loving this blog! I watched your video on how to make the garland and will be trying that next year! Do you have a tutorial for the orange slices too?
Blessings,
Doreen
