Many years ago, we made a decision for our home: 3 Many years ago, we made a decision for our home: 3 gifts per child.

Not because of minimalism.
Not because of budgeting.

But because Jesus Himself received 3 gifts — gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11)

This is simply how we strive to keep Jesus at the center of the holiday season. No over-giving, overdoing, overextending, and calling it love. This tradition has taught our kids that Christmas is about presence, not presents, and it’s truly one of my favorite traditions we’ve ever set! 🤍🎄 

Who else waits until after Thanksgiving to put your tree up? 🤗

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13

Just like Jesus, our capacity is tested often.
We’re tempted to say yes when our spirit is begging for rest. We’re tempted to keep our schedules full because we’re afraid of disappointing someone, or afraid of what stillness will reveal.

But every time Jesus was pressured to submit to other people’s timelines, expectations, or emotions, He stayed aligned with His Father.

It was His boundaries that protected His assignment.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16

You don’t need to live for the approval of people when you know who you are, and Who you belong to.

You are already loved.
Already chosen.
Already enough.

As someone who has struggled with people-pleasing As someone who has struggled with people-pleasing most of my life, I used to believe that protecting my peace was selfish.

But the more I grow in Christ, the more I realize: Protecting your peace isn’t selfish — it’s stewardship.

It’s choosing to honor the capacity God gave you instead of stretching yourself thin to meet everyone else’s expectations.

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” — Galatians 5:22–23

“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.” — Galatians 5:25

I pray this week you listen when the Holy Spirit nudges you to slow down, step back, or say no.

You don’t have to perform for peace.
You can simply receive it.

Have a blessed week everyone. 🤍

Yesterday was the first time I didn’t pressure m Yesterday was the first time I didn’t pressure myself to host or show up everywhere. Instead, I chose what I actually had the capacity for: a slow, quiet Thanksgiving with the family I created. 

I’ll admit, I was scared to do it. I just didn’t want to disappoint anyone. But the peace that came with that choice? Unmatched 🙌🏽🤍

It made me wonder how many times have I robbed myself of peace trying to keep “the peace”?

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” — Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬

Here’s to choosing capacity over expectations and peace over pressure — even during the holidays.

I’ve got so much to be grateful for this year. I I’ve got so much to be grateful for this year. I’ve been stretched in ways I didn’t expect, but those moments taught me more about God’s peace, my capacity, and what truly matters.

So today, I’m grateful — not just for my family, the food, or the tradition…but for the growth, the grace, and the God who carried me through every season.

Happy Thanksgiving yall! 🧡🙏🏽 

“I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.”

I’m a traditional girlie through and through, so I’m a traditional girlie through and through, so I never imagined saying “no” to hosting on my favorite holiday. But I’m slowly learning to choose what God is actually calling me to — not what other people’s expectations or guilt push me toward.

We weren’t designed to run ourselves into exhaustion. And honestly?

That’s what I’m looking forward to the most tomorrow…ending the night with peace, not burnout 😮‍💨🙌🏽🦃

I felt led to share this because the reality is, f I felt led to share this because the reality is, for a lot of people, the holidays are a tough time. If you’ve been feeling guilty for wanting to sit Thanksgiving out, you don’t need a dramatic excuse. You need a clean, respectful boundary that protects your peace without creating unnecessary conflict.

They may be disappointed, but disappointment is not disrespect. Time and time again, Jesus modeled for us that you can love your people and still have boundaries. 

You don’t need to justify.
You do not need to over-explain.

The holiday season brings joy, but it also brings The holiday season brings joy, but it also brings noise, pressure, and expectations.

Before you say yes to all the things this season brings, ask yourself: 

• Am I saying yes because I don’t want to disappoint someone?
• Do I actually have the time, energy, or finances for this?

God never designed us to carry everyone else’s expectations. You can love your family AND honor your capacity this season. Jesus did. (John 7:6)

Simple Dollar Tree DIY Cabinet Wreaths

Take your kitchen Christmas decor to a whole notha’ level. 

Adding kitchen cabinet wreaths to my kitchen Christmas decor was the best decision ever!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been wanting to hang small kitchen wreaths on my cabinets for the holidays, but they can be expensive. 

I recently painted my top kitchen cabinets from dark to white and I knew I was going to need 10 wreaths to hang on each door, but I wasn’t going to spend $100 to do it. 

At my local Dollar Tree, I was able to find rolls of 15 ft green garland that were perfect for my cabinet wreath project. I absolutely love the way my DIY cabinet wreaths turned out and the best part is, they were only $1.25 each!

DIY Cabinet Wreaths Supplies

Here is everything I used to decorate my kitchen cabinets:

  • 15 ft Dollar Tree Garland – one for each cabinet door
  • Dollar Tree Ribbon – I purchased 5 because of my tall cabinets. 
  • Mini Command Hooks – they come in white and clear 

My method for hanging our DIY cabinet wreaths was attaching ribbon to mini Command Hooks, but you could also use thumbtacks or duck tape if you wanted. 

Related: Our Bedroom Christmas Decor: Simple Ideas On A Budget!

How to Hang Cabinet Wreaths With Command Hooks

The first step is to attach your mini hooks inside each door upside down making sure it is aligned in the center.

Where you attach your hook matters and will depend on the size of your cabinet doors. 

Since my wall cabinets are taller than the standard size in most homes (42 inches), I placed my mini hooks closer to the top so that my wreaths would hang lower. 

If you attach your mini hooks closer to the middle be prepared to use a lot more ribbon. The Dollar Tree ribbon is only 9 ft long, so I was able to hang two wreaths per roll. 

The second step is to measure your ribbon. I pulled mine through the wreath so I’d know how much ribbon to cut from the roll. 

The third step is to measure how low you’d like your wreath to hang on the door. There is no wrong or right way to do this — it all comes down to preference. 

I wanted my wreaths to hang vertically in the middle of the cabinets as much as possible, so I draped my wreath and ribbon over the door and over the hook, marking with my finger the place I wanted the Command Hook to insert the ribbon. 

Then, you’ll fold that spot in half and cut a small slit in the ribbon to create a hole for your hook! Just be careful not to cut too deep or you’ll strip the hole and have to start over with a new ribbon.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the rest of your DIY cabinet wreaths. You can save time using your first ribbon as a guide for measuring and cutting the rest!

The fourth and final step is to hang your cabinet wreaths! This is the moment when it all comes together!!!

I am SO happy with my DIY cabinet wreaths. It was cheap, and easy, and looks like my kitchen came straight out of one of those Hallmark Christmas movies set, haha!

I hope this simple Dollar Tree DIY has inspired you to elevate your kitchen Christmas decor this year. I’ll definitely hang these up every Christmas season from now on!
