My approach to Christmas decorating this year demonstrates a major departure from the last several years. In 2017 and 2018, I was all about the farmhouse Christmas decor.

EASY DIY WILD GREENERY WREATH
If you’ve recently spent any length of time perusing hobby store aisles for the perfect spring or summer wreath, you might share in my frustration.

I don’t know about you, but after coming off of the holidays, I don’t really feel like going all in with my Valentine’s Day decorating.
