A Christmas tree filled with memories will always outshine a tree filled with just trends. 
This is our only tree, and we decorated it together as a family — with handmade ornaments from our kids and a few saved from when Brian was little. 
But the sweetest moment? After we finished decorating, our six-year-old grabbed his camera and started recording because he thought it was “the most beautiful tree ever.” 🥹
The most beautiful trees aren’t curated — they’re collected. Let this be your reminder to create a tree that sparks conversation, curiosity, and memories. This is where I’ll go when I’m 80 🫶.

Give me a lived-in kitchen with appliances that actually make life easier and won’t be hidden away. Meet @LotusCookingOfficial — premium small kitchen appliances created by industry experts to elevate everyday cooking with thoughtful, performance-driven design.
Our mornings start with The Top Drip coffee maker with grounds scale, delivering perfectly brewed coffee. Equipped with smart brewing modes and a thermal carafe to keep coffee hot, Brian —the avid coffee drinker —gave it a big 👍!
And let’s talk about The Perfectionist Air Fry + Convection Oven. It has the power and versatility of a full-size oven in a compact appliance. Brian is usually the chef around here but The Perfectionist has inspired me to cook more. It has 7 cooking modes and we’ve enjoyed using it more than our regular oven! Whether you’re air frying crispy baby broccoli or baking a tender flavorful salmon, this energy-efficient oven makes all types of cooking practically effortless. Our date night meal came out delicious, fast and cleanup was quick. 
From morning coffee to family meals to date nights in, these use-friendly Lotus appliances have earned their spot on our counter. #LotusCooking #ad
Couldn’t let this day pass without sharing. Happy December 1st! Four more Mondays until Christmas. Our family loves driving by this giant Rudolph 🎄. Send this to someone who loves this time of year ❤️

My very own Clark Griswold and partner for creating Christmas magic 🫶. My husband insisted on hanging lights on our super tall arborvitae trees. The glow on the trees are a beautiful backdrop to our patio and a festive view out our kitchen windows. We may consider leaving up year round — would you?
