🎄 OH CHRISTMAS TREE 🎄 And she's up! I had so much fun decorating this tree, using a mix of old, new and thrifted items. •
I wanted to create a rustic vibe so I stuck to lots of whites and brown, earthy tones. •
Everything from the burlap garland, little wood sign ornaments to the minimal antler details helped bring my vision together. •
🧡 Check my stories a bit later for sources and some Christmas tree decorating tips! 🧡
•
What do you guys think?! 😍 .

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE REVEAL TOMORROW 🎄 •
Sorry for yelling, I'm just so excited. 😂 I took away the plant stand from this corner of our sunroom and added this Christmas display. This room is my absolute favorite to decorate for Christmas, I love making it cozy and warm and inviting. •
Have a great Sunday friends! .

✨ HAPPY SATURDAY ✨ I recently read somewhere that instead of saying you had a busy day, try saying you had a productive day. Even if not everything gets done or you don't feel it was very productive, your outlook and mood will still be different. Yesterday I was "busy" doing errands, but I was also productive in ensuring our fridge and pantry gets stocked with food, in supporting small shops and talking to them, complimenting their products and making connections. Priceless. 🧡 .

🎄 FRIDAY 🎄 I was going to share part of my tree today but the daylight got away from me yesterday. The plan is to take tons of photos this weekend so I'll be prepared going into next week. •
Oh and the wood boards for my mantel is not happening anymore. I realized I should've done that project much earlier because it always takes longer than anticipated. But, I'll definitely store the idea away for in the future. 🎇 .

✨ WEDNESDAY ✨ Still finishing some decorating but in the meantime, here's a throwback to the front porch last year.
•
➡️ Through the chaos and the joy of this season, I just want to share this today: ⬅️ Please don't compare yourself, or your home, to me or anyone else. You do yourself a disservice if you do because it's unkind to both parties. Remember that our lives, our homes, are not meant to be or look the same. I have to practice this too and I don't ever want anyone feeling 'less than' because of this account. You matter. Your home is awesome and a blessing. Your life and your story matter. Believe it for yourself as much as you do for the person beside you. •
I've overcome a lot with comparison (I believe it should be a prerequisite for Instagrammers, not perfect but having wisdom to work through it), and let me reassure you that there is so much freedom in embracing things as they are and being grateful. Take the pressure off. This doesn't mean we can't try new things or that there won't be adventures along the way, but we can be content with where we're at and seeing all the ways we've been blessed by God in so many unique and special ways.
•
Is it always easy? No. But we don't grow where things are always easy. Sometimes it's downright painful, but God has a purpose for it and as much as we have heard that expression (maybe even dislike hearing it in the midst of our trial), there is profound wisdom, peace, love and joy on the other side that makes everything else pale in comparison. So friend, it's okay if it's not always easy. Whether it's comparison or some other big issue you're currently dealing with, just open your hands, take a deep breath and allow God to speak over you and/or that situation. •
✨ PS. If you missed it last week, 5 Ways To Stop Comparing is linked in my bio. Tap to read the post and be encouraged today. ✨
