I couldn’t resist turning a classic holiday treat into something a little extra ✨

This edible Rice Krispie wreath is so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly the cutest centerpiece or sweet treat for December.

How I made it:
1️⃣ Make a batch of Rice Krispie treats like normal
2️⃣ While they’re still warm, lightly grease your hands and shape the treats into a circle to form a wreath. I used aluminum foil to help shape the wreath so it wouldn’t be so sticky!
3️⃣ Let it set completely
4️⃣ Cut Fruit Roll-Ups into strips and tie them into bows
5️⃣ Press the bows into the wreath to “decorate”

That’s it! Simple, festive, and fun for kids to help with 🎀

Perfect for a holiday party, Christmas movie night, classroom treats, or a fun family baking day without spending a ton.

If you want to be festive all week without spending festive money, these Walmart holiday sweaters are it. 🎄

They’re only $12, actually cute, and easy to dress up or down for school drop-off, errands, parties, or cozy nights at home.

The best part? Most sizes and colors are still in stock right now, but they’re definitely going fast as we get closer to Christmas.

I’ll link all my favorite styles so you can grab one (or two) before they’re gone.

I saw this bell wreath selling for $229… so obviously I had to try making my own 😅

And I’m happy to report: this one came together for under $20 and looks just as festive.

Here’s exactly how I made it 👇

• I started with a simple wire wreath form
• Found metal bells at Dollar Tree, I couldn’t find enough gold so I spray painted silver ones.
• I tested hot glue and super glue first, but neither held up well on the wire form
• Zip ties were the real MVP – they let me pull each bell tight so nothing shifts
• I also tried floral wire, but I couldn’t get the bells secure enough
• Once all the bells were attached, I trimmed the zip ties and added the cutest velvet bow.

That’s it. Simple, sturdy, and way more budget-friendly than the $229 version.

If you’re decorating on a budget but still want that classic, cozy holiday look, this one is a win.

Decorate the porch with me! I wanted a simple but magical red and white peppermint theme this year, and it all came together with a mix of Walmart basics, Dollar Tree finds, and a few things I already had on hand.

I started with two strands of the 25-ft pre-lit rope garland from Walmart to wrap around the doorframe. Using two gives you a slightly fuller look and creates a sturdy base for any lighter tinsel decorations. Across the top, I added a pre-lit garland from my holiday stash for extra glow.

Dollar Tree came through with the cutest red and white tinsel pieces—candy canes, ornaments, and those little nutcrackers that were not $1.25 (they were $7 each), but they matched my Home Depot wreath perfectly, so I couldn’t resist. I used small cable ties to secure everything evenly around the garland.

To finish the look, I flanked the doorway with two small pre-lit trees and added any red and white ornaments I could find from our collection. For the layered rug moment, I kept the black and white base rug we already owned, added a smaller red and green plaid rug from Target, and topped it with my SwitchMat and a Merry Christmas insert.

It looks so cute day or night, and it turned out almost exactly how I pictured it.

If you’re short on space or working with a tiny budget this year, this wall-mounted Christmas tree is the easiest festive project you can make.

I did the entire thing with Dollar Tree supplies, and it turned out so pretty. It’s also perfect for playrooms, small apartments, or toddler-proof decorating since nothing is within reach.

Here’s how I made it:

What you need
• Tinsel garland (I used 4–6 strands depending on size)
• Battery operated lights
• Small ornaments and ribbon
• Mini command hooks
• Optional: a bow or tree topper

How to make it
1. Map out your tree shape on the wall first. I started with a center point and worked downward.
2. Place mini command hooks in a zig-zag pattern to outline the tree. These will anchor your garland and keep the shape clean.
3. Hook your tinsel garland onto each command hook, forming the outline of the tree.
4. Layer on battery-operated lights. I tucked the battery packs behind the garland for easy hiding and access.
5. Add your ornaments, ribbons, and any small accents. Keep them lightweight so they adhere well to the wall.
6. Finish with a bow or mini topper at the top.

Such a fun, affordable project and a great solution when you want a magical tree without taking up floor space. I’ll link similar supplies in LTK so you can recreate the look.

#ad Officially obsessed with the goal of having a Christmas tree in every room over here.

Added this gorgeous 7.5 foot pre lit tree from Best Choice Products to our bedroom and I love how warm and cozy it feels.

If you prefer the warm twinkle light look over bright white LEDs, this tree is beautiful.

The branches look so realistic, it’s really full especially at the bottom, and it was easy to assemble and fluff.

I went with a blue ornament theme to match the room and paired it with the slatted wood tree collar for that designer look without the designer price. Such a great value for the quality.

This cozy simmer pot is the easiest way to make your whole house feel festive, and you can do it in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.

It’s totally customizable, so use whatever you already have on hand. Here’s what I used this time:
• 2 apples, sliced
• 2 oranges, sliced
• 1 bag of cranberries
• 6 cinnamon sticks
• 4 sprigs of rosemary
• 8 cups of water

Set your slow cooker to high with the lid off and let it simmer for several hours. Instant Christmas vibes.

I’ve been trying to make this shared room work with two separate twin beds, but it always felt cluttered and cramped… and I was constantly worried about my toddler rolling off.

Switching to the Twin Over Twin Low Bunk Bed with Easy Slide & Stairs was the best decision for this space.

The bottom bunk is almost on the floor, the top bunk sits much lower than traditional designs, and the girls love having a slide and stairs instead of a ladder.

It instantly made the room feel brighter, cleaner, and so much more functional. And honestly, the price point compared to similar bunk beds is such a win.

Plus, the girls think it’s the coolest thing ever, which makes it the perfect “biggest gift under the tree” idea if you’re looking for something fun and practical.

And yes we put our pet gerbils on our first Christmas card…don’t worry about it. 😆🤭

A new favorite mantle idea that costs almost nothing.

I used $1.25 ribbon from Dollar Tree, punched a small hole in the corner of each Christmas card, and tied them onto a simple garland I already had. That’s it. And somehow… it might be my favorite holiday DIY this year.

It instantly makes your garland look fuller, more personal, and so cozy.

Use whatever you have:
• old family Christmas cards
• Santa photos
• kids’ holiday artwork
• or even the new cards that come in throughout December

I love being able to see all 14 years of our Christmas cards in one place. It’s such an easy tradition to keep, and it makes the whole room feel extra magical without spending money.

One of our favorite Christmas Eve traditions you can recreate with whatever you already have at home.

We set up a little DIY station and the kids make a simple little batch of “reindeer food” using oatmeal, holiday sprinkles, and a little glitter for extra sparkle on the lawn.

Set up a station with some baggies and let the kids scoop, mix, and label their own bags. It’s easy, festive, and such a sweet memory to repeat every year.

Save this for later if you want to add a little magic to your Christmas Eve!

These garlands with the ornaments on them are old. We have had them for a few years and they used to be in our old podiatry office, but they look so pretty here.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

If you’re planning a Christmas movie night, make these whipped cream hot cocoa toppers! They are the easiest little holiday hack and they look so festive in every mug.

Here’s how to make them:

Spray whipped cream directly into a muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
Add your toppings: sprinkles, crushed peppermint, mini marshmallows, whatever fits your holiday vibe.
Freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
Once they’re solid, pop them out and keep them in a freezer bag until you’re ready to serve.

Set one on top of warm cocoa and it melts perfectly, cools the drink down for the kids, and instantly makes movie night feel extra magical. Such an easy, frugal, holiday mom win.

Their 9ft cedar garland is so full and realistic, plus it comes pre-lit with LED lights, a twinkle mode, and a timer so it looks magical every night without needing to remember to turn it on and off.

I used this fun tension-rod trick to hang it, simply wrap it around the rod, decorate it with ornaments or bows, and pop it right into place.

No holes, no tools, and no waiting for help...haha.

For the price, the quality is honestly better than a lot of the big retailer garlands I’ve tried.

I was supposed to be cleaning and getting ready for guests when I found these lights in my office, and this just seemed like way more fun. 😜

These are the same Govee lights I used for the Halloween cloud ceiling, and I planned to reuse them in here once I was finished. They look so cool and were easy to install with the peel and stick backing!

#ad Partnering with Best Choice Products because their 36” cedar wreath might be my favorite holiday piece this year.

The branches are so realistic and it comes pre-lit with LED lights that twinkle beautifully!

I used floral wire to add ornaments that match our tree, and it instantly turned into a custom statement piece for our living room.

For the size and quality, the price is so much better than comparable wreaths I’ve seen this season.

It was easy to fluff, lightweight, and works indoors or outdoors. I’m hanging ours on the upstairs banister for maximum wow factor.

The 12-foot tree reveal is HERE and she is navy, white, gold, and full of sparkle. Probably still needs ribbon but I can’t find one that I really like…

This was not the original plan (I wanted a Ralph Lauren tree) but once I found that sparkly leaf garland at @hobbylobby and the sparkly gold leaf picks at @Walmart… it all started coming together.

Almost everything on this tree is from Walmart and it proves you can get that timeless, lux look without the lux price tag.

I really wanted something classic with a little glam for this space and it turned out better than I pictured.

If your rugs end up halfway across the room by noon… same. 😅

But I finally found a rug gripper that actually keeps everything in place! Yes, even our most high-traffic rug that the dog and four kids treat like a slip-n-slide.

These are grippy, not sticky, so they don’t damage your floors, and once you place them on your rug, they do. not. move. (Okay, my kids can get them to move eventually but WAY better than those hole filled little rug pad things that never work) 😝

Such a practical little home find that makes everyday life a lot less chaotic.🙌
