16 Tips on how to design a home office that is kid friendly

Some days are easier than others, but mom guilt is REAL even when you work from home.

Modern Farmhouse Christmas Decor
I know, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet and I’m already writing a blog post about Christmas decor. Every year this Christmas stuff comes out earlier and earlier. But, you know what? Every year I get more and more excited to get the house decorated for Christmas. Now that I’m a mamma, I love seeing the excitement of my little girl when we get our Christmas tree and decorate the house. She loves to help me with everything (she’s almost three years old, so everything feels brand new to her) and I love including her in the process. So I thought, I may as well get this blog post out now so that you (and I) could plan our decor for this season!
