CHRISTMAS DECOR | FARMHOUSE STYLE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Christmas farmhouse decor style blush pink white decor

Decorating for the Holidays is one of my most favorite things! Most of our Christmases were spent in rentals and apartments so now that we have our dream house, I am slowing building our holiday decor and loving our Christmas Farmhouse! You probably are not surprised to hear that I am not a big fan of red and green decor. Even though I prefer to keep my Christmas decor similar to our home style, there is always room for a little traditional red and green! I am excited to share my favorite finds this year and how I decorate and keep everything pretty even with two small babes running around.

WHERE TO SHOP

A LOOK THROUGH OUR CHRISTMAS DECORATING

We have so much fun picking out a tree each year, especially when it’s cold outside! This time we got a super fluffy tree and flocked it as usual at a local farmers market! Here’s a look at our tree shopping, a little family fun, and the final pieces all coming together!

ORNAMENTS UP AND PRESENTS TIED TIGHT

Keeping lots of ribbon on hand is always a good idea as it can be used in so many different projects! I shared a few of my favorites above but I really LOVE getting ribbon on Etsy since you can get a big roll for $9 with 50 yards of ribbon! For my presents this year, I mixed it up with some blush ribbon as well as jute for the boys presents, then I decorated with my Target and Pier1 Ornaments!

Pier1 is having a huge ornament sale right now so I always check back in with them online and in the store! It’s a great way to save 50% off and get some unique ornaments!

Most ornaments seen in the detailed shot are from Target! I mix in different sizes and it always comes out perfectly!

How adorable is this wooden hanging tree? I LOVE IT! It was $10 at Target and it is a great way to showcase your Christmas cards!


I snuck a few of our gingerbread men into apothecary jars and I love how it turned out! With a small bag of fake snow, I finished the look and added in some gingerbread houses and tree candles! I am definitely not looking forward to having to take this down next year!

Thanks for sharing in the Christmas spirit with us! I hope you have some great ideas on how to bring a little farmhouse into your Christmas decor! Make sure to share your Christmas decor styles with us!

My handsome boy could swim all day long! He thinks My handsome boy could swim all day long! He thinks he’s close to doing an iron man because he bikes a 5k next to Everett while he runs and then swims 😂🤣
Happy 4 years of conquering cardiac arrest to our Happy 4 years of conquering cardiac arrest to our miracle boy! Thank you to each of you that stopped in the scariest moment of our lives to pray and stuck with us for soooooo many months and years.
My girl in pink is too much! All I can think of is My girl in pink is too much! All I can think of is “I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world!” Everett sings, “I’m a Darby girl in a Darby world” to the same tune 💗🤣
After celebrating with the littles this morning, A After celebrating with the littles this morning, Averie and I surprised Everett with a very fun afternoon with delicious authentic Italian food, got him fitted for new running shoes, and then off to the shooting range! We had the best time! The custom socks were his favorite! I asked the littles to draw their favorite thing to do with him: Ryann is riding her bike, Remy is swimming in the sun, Emerson is throwing the football and Averie is custom Gracie socks 🤣. It was wonderful focusing on him and spoiling him today! He’s always putting us all before anything and he more than deserved an amazing Father’s Day!

I guess for normal parents, these thoughts don’t I guess for normal parents, these thoughts don’t cross their mind on big days like their child’s birthday. For us, not only is it on special days but it’s every day that we think, pray about, talk about or talk to so many of the incredible medical angels that worked tirelessly to save our baby. I can’t go to sleep tonight without thanking each of you so very much for these days. I thought as time went on, I’d think of you less. But the opposite has happened. Because I get to see so many new things with Remy each and every day, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to visit him on this day at a grave site, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to imagine what these days would have been Iike, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to draw in my head what I think he’d have looked like at 4, I think of you more. Thank you. You all deserve the world for what you do.
happy official birthday to our FOUR year old!!!! R happy official birthday to our FOUR year old!!!! Remy, every day and every night with you is a gift from God.

Oh my heart. I left it in Colorado, AGAIN!!! 26 ye Oh my heart. I left it in Colorado, AGAIN!!! 26 years ago, my hubby met his best friend, Sean, and because of that we all have been extremely blessed to have each other!! The amount of integrity, support, adoration, faith, selflessness and out of this world love that bursts from this family is indescribable. They are successful, they are godly, they are fun, they are everything you want in a family and more! I know all of their blessings are there because God knows their hearts and sees their actions and pours it on them!! They aren’t friends, they’re family. They’re sisters and brothers, fighters for us in the valley and cheerleaders for us on the hills. All I could have ever wanted is there when we are all together!! You all know it because none of us stop saying this but we absolutely love you and miss you and adore each of you from the tops of your heads to your cute little toes!!! Bringing our answered prayer, Remy, to y’all in 2020 and now our Averie in 2022 was absolutely out of this world. Thank you Holt for marrying our precious Mikayla so we could have the best time ever!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓
The last few days have gotten away from us but sit The last few days have gotten away from us but sitting here with some quiet time, I went through our old pictures. We just celebrated our 10th anniversary of getting engaged and the butterflies hit all over again!! I’ve happily said yes to @everettbowes every single day since then and I am so grateful to have such an incredible partner in raising our children, best friend beside me, and my absolute favorite person in the world. Marriage for me showed me how blessed I am and Everett has only shown me a better and better version of himself as the years have passed. We have walked through the best and coolest experiences together and also the hardest battles with nearly losing a child. I go to bed excited about him every night and wake up excited to see him. Not everything in life feels this way but for us, I’m thankful this area of life is a fairy tale. I love you @everettbowes. You have intergrity, kindness, love and intention in your heart and in everything you do. Your children and I are honored to be yours 💓
Today was a very special day for our baby girl! Sh Today was a very special day for our baby girl! She swam SO well without her floaties, got her first official haircut, has another wiggly tooth, took her first shopping trip to Claire’s AND got her nails painted by yours truly. She is the sweetest thing on the planet and makes our family feel so loved! It was a joy for all of us to see her enjoy the day!! I can’t believe she’s going to kindergarten in the Fall. We are so grateful beyond words that she is ours! 💗

One of my greatest joys of being a mom is when oth One of my greatest joys of being a mom is when others recognize and love my children as much as we do. That happens all the time with Averie. I’m so proud of her character, work ethic, dedication, and how she loves others so well! She’s so easy to love and appreciate, I’m so thankful she’s mine! 💞
