I can be so indecisive. This year makes the third time I’ve changed our Christmas stockings in the six years Jason and I have been married. Although this year I HAD to because we needed a fifth and I just couldn’t find another to match the ones I bought last year. I have loved the pom pom Christmas stockings I’ve seen in stores the past few years, so…
One of the most exciting parts of buying a new house is getting to start over with holiday decor! We seriously have so much more space to decorate here than in our old home. In our new neighborhood, everyone decorates their homes to the max, and obviously we can’t be those neighbors with the lame holiday display, so we decided to go with TONS of lights from EZ-Illuminations…
Holiday pajama time has to be one of my favorite times of the year, especially now that I can find matching styles for two kiddos. To top it off, it seems like 2018 is the year of the matching family pajama! It makes my coordinating heart so, so happy. Where are your favorite places to find cute holiday pajamas at a great price?

Our favorite way to break up the gifts we buy for our kids is into four categories – Want, Need, Wear and Read. They get one from each category. Then the rest of the items on their lists go onto the gift registries we create for them online. It helps to eliminate the random junk we end that ends up in the garbage after a few weeks. Ben…
It’s that time of year again… when parents drive themselves crazy over gifts. I love to surprise my kiddos with gifts throughout the year, which means they really don’t need a ton come Christmas time. Our home is already packed full of the latest toys. Over the past few years we have made online lists (basically registries) for the kids for Christmas and their birthdays because I am…
Last year I took a survey of my friends and family to find their favorite Christmas books. I really challenged myself to cut back on the number of festive clothing items I’ve let myself buy for each holiday, but I guess I am now channeling that energy into holiday books. I mean, they don’t outgrow books as quickly as they do clothing, right?! ;) Last year Pick a…
When I think about the holidays, I think of spending quality time together with my family. Even though we have only been married five and a half years, Blaire was born only a few days before our first wedding anniversary, so we have had the past four and a half years to build traditions together for our own little family. And honestly, they all just came about naturally.…
One of our favorite Christmas traditions with the kids is an Advent calendar. Blaire always loved the advent calendars with little chocolates, but last year we did one with Blaire that had Disney princess socks (from Target on Black Friday). I have no idea what we’re going to do this year, today Blaire is leaning towards the Grinch Village or even a Grinch chocolate one, but she changes…
I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas from the Peterson Family. As I sit here in bed with my sleeping family, at the end of my birthday, I can’t help but reflect on how blessed we are. We are all happy and healthy. We are blessed beyond measure. Not only do we have everything we need to…
