simplicity

this year as I look around my home

during Christmas season

{which is usually a big deal for me}

I see right in front of me
that it still looks like our home

there is no clutter

 those that know me well

know I completely *freak* in clutter

so I never have clutter

because my brain is unable to function "normally"

{I'm chuckling as I say "normally" by the way}

 that may be debatable to some

but with it now being Christmas season

I really have no "Christmas decor" clutter this year

it's a breath of fresh air feeling simple this year

some of our furniture this year had to be moved around the house

in order to fit our tree

and I love that one of our big shelves is now upstairs in our mini loft area

I like it much better

because it doesn't look so uniform in our living area now

it probably will stay that way after Christmas

{really excited about that}

but I'm happy

that as I look around my home

it's minimal

since I was really, really selective with what I set out

there is no clutter

it looks and feels more like us more than ever before

I still have to rearrange some of the decorations

as they are just sitting in our laundry room

waiting to be placed

but when I finally get around to doing that

it'll be simple

and easy

 no pressure for perfection

this Christmas season

I'm doing more important things this year
like

 making hot cocoa for this little one

with rainbow marshmallows

rather than stressing too much about decorations

she's loving the fact that

this is in one of my coffee glasses btw

the new song I've added

"Winter Song"

just sounds pretty

so don't read too much into the wording with this post

lol
