Magical & Merry Holiday Home Tour

Our Home

1 Dec

Hey there friend! Thanks so much for stopping by for my first ever holiday home tour! If you’re coming from Jamie over at So Much Better with Age, thanks for popping in and it’s nice to “meet” you. I’m excited to partner up with this fabulous group of ladies. I usually decorate for Christmas earlier in November, but this year we have had so much going on! If you follow me on social media, then you know I’m 3 months pregnant with our little girl. It’s been quite the first trimester, so I’ve had a hard time keeping up with the blog and other work things. But, here I am now to show you what I came up with this year. I decided that I wanted to keep it simple this year with traditional pops of red and green, but I wanted to add minimal decorations. I sold a bunch of my decor over the last few weeks and I have to say, it felt really good to purge it all! Before I ramble on here all day, let’s begin this tour of our little ranch. Grab a cup of coffee and a cozy blanket, and make sure to head to the next blogger at the end of the tour.

I love the typical green and red Christmas decor. I wanted to incorporate them both into our home, but without being so bold and bright with it. I have been in the process of simplifying and making things more neutral around here. I find it easier to decorate that way. Then, when certain seasons and holidays come around, you can add minimal decor and still make a big impact.

I love how I spent time actually trying to get the pups into a cute photo and I asked them to sit and lay down and all that good stuff, then the best photo I got of them was when they sat on the couch without being told and took a nap! Lola and Sadie look so comfortable, don’t they? Let’s move to the entryway.

I struggled with how I wanted to do things here, then I realized I was overthinking it all. Added some crocks with trees in them, a pillow, and the reindeer sack and that was it! See, simplicity is all the rave right now at The Belmont Ranch. 😉

In the kitchen, I added some fresh garland with lights and a few wreaths too. I love this one above from Lynch Creek Farm. I don’t have a lot of space to add things in the kitchen since we use the items on our open shelves. I knew I wanted fresh garland for my decor this year, but when I went to Lowes they were all sold out! The guy working there ended up offering me the ones that they were decorating with out front, and I gladly took them at a discount, of course. I was super happy to have scored the last few ones they had.

I also used the garland in the dining room too, adding it to the table and the chandelier. Staying with the theme of the rest of the house, I only added the garland and some candlesticks in my tablescape for some texture. I love adding pops of Christmas all over the house. I did add a small tree to our bedroom with some lights but no ornaments. It stays pretty basic in there. I feel like even though it took me a little longer to get the decorations up this year, they’ll stay through the middle or end of January so I can enjoy the coziness and wonderful feelings of this time of year.

Thanks again for stopping by my holiday home tour! The next blogger on the tour is Julie & Jodie from The Design Twins Blog, so make sure to stop by and see their gorgeous home, and check out the other stunning tours in the group below!

xoxo,

our time together as a family is a gift. and i wil our time together as a family is a gift. and i will never forget 6 years ago pleading to god to make us parents. he delivered 🙏🏼 and gave us four of the most beautiful children i could have ever imagined. 📸 @sadiecooperphotography
August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at home, weighing in at 11 pounds!! 😍😅 ELEVENNNN pounds. Lol. We are all doing so well now, resting and settling into being a family of 6. 🫶🏻 I’m not quite ready to share our birth story just yet as we had some complications, but when the time is right I’ll record a YouTube video and share all the details. Until then, we’re soaking up all the newborn snuggles with our littlest love. Forever blessed for my growing family and the ability to birth these beautiful humans.
Yet again another child to be born after my “due Yet again another child to be born after my “due date” 🤪 Trusting in God’s timing is not always easy, but I’m trying. 💙 Dalton was my longest pregnancy at 43 weeks; this little guy better not make us wait another 2 weeks though! 😅 Layla was 40+5 (induced) and Gabby was 39 weeks (csection) 

Ready for another beautiful home birth, whenever Jaxson is ready. 🫶🏻 At what gestation were your babes born?!
38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s 38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s crazy as I have more kiddos how fast the pregnancies go. I feel like I blinked and we’re almost here. Now to getting my ducks in a row! I’ve been nesting like crazy, deep cleaning my house, tending to the garden and just have to get my freezer meals prepped and I’ll be ready *i think* 😅 It’s funny because Dalton didn’t come until I was 43 weeks which is literally 5 more weeks from now…. I just might melt from the summer’s heat if I have to wait another 5 weeks 🤣 But for real, babies come when they are ready. No crazy natural inductions happening over here. Just patience. However, we’re ready whenever you are, my little man 🫶🏻
Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite thing Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite things to grow! Set it and forget it! I planted my garlic in October & it will be ready to harvest in July. Using the scapes in recipes is a great way to add garlic flavor and utilize the garlic before it’s ready to harvest. I planted both hard neck and soft neck, so I will save the hard neck varieties over the Fall/Winter and use the soft neck fresh. Have you ever planted garlic before?!
