Christmas DIY Decoration Ideas, Coming Right Up!

In my opinion, most of our non-life-threatening problems fall into one of two categories: not enough time or not enough money.

When I was still teaching and before I had kids, my problems centered around not having enough time.  I taught high school English, and the amount of time it took planning, creating and grading (oh my word, the grading!) was dizzying. 

My nights and weekends were filled up with so many school-related tasks (So. Many. Tasks.).

Now that I’m home with my boys and not working, money is more of an issue. 

I have more time (well, sort of – I’m home more, if that’s any distinction; chasing twin toddlers doesn’t always equate to having more time), but not really the luxury of being able to spend how I used to.

Enter: The Holidays.

It’s been a whole new world getting used to reinventing our existence on one budget – and that includes how we celebrate Christmas .

I never was a super-crafty, domestic, Martha-Stewart-type girl. I am definitely more the cerebral, Type A, book-smart girl.

Being a mom and being at home has really forced me to flip my brain a bit and work a little more from the intuitive, creative side.

And that’s how I’m approaching the holidays this year: lots of creative, homemade gifts, decorations, and ways to celebrate that are easy on the budget.

DIY Rustic farmhouse Christmas decor is my latest obsession, so of course, that is the rabbit hole I jumped down on Pinterest. 

Today I’m focusing on farmhouse Christmas DIY decorating projects.  If you love rustic farmhouse, these projects will be right up your alley!  They are truly beautiful.
