Embrace the mess, if you don’t point it out, no one will notice. Your so called thrown together decor is spontaneous, you have a good eye, then realize how great it looks without overthinking things. Everything is completely charming! Never compare yourself with others, I’m sure if you asked them, they’d tell you your place looks better than theirs. Be confident and do it quickly, then enjoy your beautiful family. I wish you truly realized you inspire people to more fully enjoy life.
Kristen, you have such a REAL home! I feel right at home! Your style is very unique and cozy…don’t apologize for sharing your reality…it’s real life. I could walk into your home and not worry about touching something and knocking it down…that’s a real talent for you to be able to do that. Cindi (from WV). 🥰. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
Yes, although others may have a more is more esthetic many of them admittedly spend a month and have help. I enjoy watching all types of decor videos. From the over the top to the minimalist. At the end of the day, I still put out the things I love and my kids helping decorate the most imperfect tree, loaded with tacky ornaments from my husband’s childhood is still my favorite part of decorating. And I save so much money and most importantly time to spend making memories that will far outlast any decor or trends.
I agree that Andrea is amazing in all that she does. Her home is very tasteful and calm. However, Kristen you do you...and you do it extremely well. I love the enthusiasm that you put into everything you do. I also like your decor, especially at Christmas. Please don't compare yourself to others. You are wonderful just the way you are.
Dead mums, ornaments just lying on the tree branches, too short curtains, random candles in the hutch! Oh my gosh, Kristen I just love that you are so real!!! Some people's "perfect" homes just make me feel bad, like my decor isn't good enough. You show us that a home can be beautiful without spending megabucks and months of time to decorate! I hope you'll be feeling better soon! Merry Christmas to your and your sweet family!!!
My dead mums are still in the planters on my front stoop and guess what ? I think they're staying there !! Don't feel like decorating them this year. You do a beautiful job Kristen with your home so don't ever apologize. Merry Christmas to you and your precious family ily and so glad your taking some time off to take care of yourself !!!
I agree with this 100% and think it's one of the reasons I love watching Kristen's videos. After watching, I'm not left with the feeling that I'm not good enough or my home and kids aren't "good enough" like I am with so many other videos on RUclips! I just feel like my home, kids, myself are all "normal " whatever that may mean nowadays 😊
Giiirrrrllll, I love both your homes equally for different reasons. Don't sell yourself short! Yours is one of my favorites on RUclips! It's so serene and lovely.
I love your house! It has so much character and I love that you let the girls help decorate the tree. That’s what Christmas is about. Being with family. I hope you feel better soon!
First of all your hair is gorgeous in this video! Secondly, please always be real! I love the dead fall decor with the Christmas stuff on the porch and the pee stain on the bed. As much as I love the style of Andrea and She Holds Dearly their perfection makes me feel like me feel I am not enough. Your videos bring me back to what is truly important and trying to make our homes beautiful along the way. Take a rest and get feeling better!❤
Kristen, your home is lovely!! You dont need to apologize for anything. You are making a home for your family. Dont compare yourself to anyone! You be the woman God wants you to be. I love your simplicity. We love you as yourself!!! Have a wonderful Christmas and take care of yourself. Your family needs you!!❤️🥰 P.S. i love the outlet on the mantle!! It treally is a great idea!!!!
I love your home tour and your home. It's so cozy, comfy and yet elegant. I especially love that you show us the little "imperfections". It makes your home tour feel real and relatable. You are so beautiful inside and out, humble and just a joy to watch. I hope you get the rest that you need and pray you feel better soon! Blessings to you and your family! Have a very Merry Christmas!!
I love your home!!!!!!!!!! I really love how you don’t go over the top with decor. You make your home so cozy and charming and relatable. My dream home is to have a home just like yours, reminds me of the home I grew up in the Midwest. Florida homes do not have much character, stucco and not many porches. Please, please never compare your home to anyone else. Your home is amazing ❤❤❤
Kristen, I am so sorry that you aren't feeling well. You look beautiful! Your home is precious. It's hard to go all out when you aren't feeling well. Praying for you! Let me tell you that you are way too hard on yourself. I am much older than you, and I used to be the same way. Honey, you are a daughter of the Most High! You are beautiful, and so is your heart. Know that! you are growing...your home is so lovely and has come a long way, as you have! Take care of your sweet self and get some rest. I hope that you and your sweet family have a wonderful Christmas!
Your decor is so pretty and "intentional". You don't just buy things to put out a video or sponsored by showing freebies received all the time and your home isn't YT cookie cutter decorated. That's what makes you stand out. You encourage others to buy secondhand and not to sweat the small stuff (like putting cloves in your oranges on the table). I love that! With you we feel relaxed and not stressed to be perfect. This is your strength girl! Don't discard your garland on your bed when you get a replacement, you can use it outdoors, on top of cabinets or cut apart to use pieces in bowls or pitchers. Looks like you may have future competition with sweet and beautiful Ruby. She did a great job! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas! ☃️🤶🎅🎄🦌
You are so real , that's why I enjoy your channel...if you see a dark spot..it is what you think it is 😅😂 Your home is perfect. No one lives in a museum, where everything is perfect..we live with messes , spaghetti splashes, urine spots, Christmas ornaments that have been moved by little ones! I don't want to watch videos where life is perfect, children are perfect , nothing is ever out of place..stepford wives vibes. I can handle the real life stuff I'm a grandma I've seen it all experienced it all...keep on keeping it real . Love it all.
One thing I love about your home is the beautiful prisms that reflect around the room because of your .... front door, I think? Sometimes they're on the walls or floors, sometimes on the furniture and sometimes on you. 😊 They're like little "God winks" and make me smile. Merry Christmas, Kristen. ❤ I hope your season is wonderful and that you are feeling better very soon!!
Your home looks beautiful and festive. You don't have to decorate everything and use every ounce of decor to be festive. Your home is so clean and welcoming. Hopefully u can rest and start to feel better.
You have created a beautiful, warm, welcoming and practical Christmas home! I love it! I really love the wood crate to hold the wrapping paper and plant Beautiful job!! 🎄❤️
Your home is absolutely amazing. You have such a talent for decor! I really love the narratives you provide on your videos. You are warm, charming and really funny, plus I love that you keep it real.
Just to let you know… in my 75 year old opinion you are an amazing person, mother, wife, and Christian. Your decor is beautiful and inspiring and you come across as real, unrehearsed, unpretentious, and delightful. No need for apologies.. I have great faith that all your followers love you!!
U don’t need Dr. Phil or anyone else. Your a child of the most High God. Ur real and honest and very relatable. You do you! Ur lovely unique and special. God bless I and ur family.
Kristen, STOP APOLOGIZING for REAL LIFE. Your personality is what brings us back, your home and family, your amazing thrift hauls. Calm down and let us enjoy a glimpse into your home.
Kirsten, I feel like you haven’t been feeling well for a while. Please 🙏 please promise you you go to the doctor and please make sure you rest. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏💕
Kristen letting the kids help decorate your tree is wonderful. I have always done that and now my granddaughter is now 18 and decorates my trees. Your home looks great. It is so cozy and inviting. You look beautiful as always and love your sweater . Praying you start feeling better. God bless and have a merry Christmas.
Thank you for the beautiful Christmas home tour Kristen! Don't sweat the small stuff. I pray your feeling better soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family! God bless ❤
Andrea sent me here. I hope you will take care of yourself and get the rest that you need. Your HOME is lovely! Thank you for "keeping it real"! It keeps people like me grounded and helps us be contented with our "less than Instagram" worthy home. God bless and keep you and your family. ❤🎄🕊️
Kristen ❤❤ I am a 72 yr old mom of 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren married nearly 50 yrs.......your home is absolutely beautiful, your children are beautiful and YOU are beautiful! When I see a video of yours pop up I think " oh good!"......... so many videos are so over-done......too much......too pristine. I love your style. Your decorating is just right! Now, you take care of yourself......rest up. Love you, Kathy from Pennsylvania
I love how you are honest and real! May you and your family be blessed and rested and ready to meet the New Year! I’ll be waiting, praying, and looking forward to seeing you in the New Year ❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and talents ❣
Your home is beautiful, well balanced and lovely. You are a beautiful and sweet spirited person with a beautiful family. There is no need to apologize. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family! Now go get some rest.
Kristen, I'm praying you get some rest and feel better soon! Take some time for yourself and let your mind and body rest. Your home is so beautiful! As someone with a chronic illness, I found the decor in your home more attainable for me than the usual years of going all out. It takes the pressure off of my shoulders! God bless you and your family this season and always.
I think your home is beautiful! It's one of the best I've seen. Stop apologizing! What I love most about your channel is that you are real, with everyday interruptions, like we ALL have😂❤ . You're doing a beautiful job. God's blessings to you and yours!
I am late to the game, or early for 2024, but I love your authenticity. Real life is so much more beautiful than a showplace magazine cover. I love your videos and I pray you have been feeling better in 2024.❤
Your home looks lovely. Don't apologize or point out all it's faults. What people don't know, they won't notice. You have put care and thought into your home and decorations. There are too many over-decorated homes being shown. We shouldn't feel pressured because some have more money and time to spend. Your home is lived in and loved. It is lovely. We must all remember that it all started in a lowly stable. The spirit and love is in your home. Hope you feel better and more rested. Merry Christmas!
I like the rustic "dead Mums" they are actually pretty with the decor, added texture. You have a lovely home. Kristen, you are so down to earth, stay the way you are!!
Your home is so charming. I looks so cozy and real. Don’t worry about things not being perfect. That’s what life is made of. Have a wonderful Christmas, and God Bless your sweet family ❤️.
Kristen, your home is beautiful. I love your simple decorations. It has a holiday spirit and it can tell through all your decorations. Sorry you don't feel well. Feel better soon and enjoy the holiday with your husband and your girls❤
I love the way you put the garland with lights all along the kitchen counter. Leaving them on all the time sounds wonderful. I can only imagine when you walk into the kitchen in the morning how sweet it must seem. I was just thinking how even thought your girls are very young, you're teaching them by doing. I love the way you've decorated. The last little tree looks to have 'that' primitive look. Take care of yourself because You can't give what you don't have. Praying for you... Continued Blessings!
You have done more than you think. Your house looks charming. I am impressed with all the touches everwhere, the garlands throughout are so festive, love all the Christmasy quilts, books, horns,sleds, and the dining is perfect.
Kristen, you are a sweetheart! Your home is just perfect! We love all your decor and we especially love you. You are such a real person and most of the world watching you can see the same. Feel better doll and never ever feel that what you do is not the "best". It IS the best and fits to you and your family. That's what makes your channel so real. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Feel better and rest up! We will all be here upon your return after your last video of 2023! (Hugs)) xoxo
You could always add a ruffle in a contrasting or cream fabric to extend the length of the curtains. Have a joyful, restful Christmas season with your family and friends.
How festive and beautiful and REAL!!! Thanks for being so down to earth and so real, it’s why you are so loveable! I pray you feel better and have a wonderful, blessed Christmas with your family. ❤🎄❤️
Hey don’t Worry about the Mess! When your Babies are all Grown, you will Miss that and all the Giggles & all Noises TRUST ME Iam thier Now! Iam So Lonely! I throughly enjoy your Videos because your down to earth! And I Love those babies!
Kristen, you look amazing. I think your style and Andrea's are both beautiful!!! Give yourself some grace. You have three little girls and not feeling terrific during this pregnancy. I love your table arrangement. Simple but lovely. Every time I see your green fireplace tile, I fall in love with it again!!
Kristen, thank you for keeping your videos "real." Watching your videos is much more enjoyable than watching videos by homemakers that have professionals doing their social media posts or ones that post videos that are unrealistic for other homemakers to achieve.
You forgot to introduce your pup! Love Pine and Prospect. I bet you are just as fabulous. Love that you’re not perfect. It’s a lot of working finding and buying deals when you have a family. Love the nativity venyet. The tree is perfect. Mittens are extra special. Good for you to be listening to your body.
Girl! Your home looks amazing! After years of country stuff, we built a new home and went very modern. I like it, but seeing your home makes me realize how much I miss thrifting. You have a gift! Beautiful decor!
Kristen, I love your home, the decor that you choose & your family. And I think the outlet on the mantel is genius!! I truly admire you, young Moms that make videos, take care of their families & the home❤ I am wondering if your big news is an addition to your little family? You are really glowing, but as Josh says, "look at her-she is gorgeous!'" (or something similar) I am praying that you feel better soon🙏 May God bless you all❣️ Love & hugs from the East side of TX 💙🎄🎁
In a world of imitation and fake, you are truly charming because you are sooooo real. I cannot be alone in wishing you were my neighbor, friend, committee member, prayer partner, etc. Thank you for being you!
Your home is beautiful. I love simplicity not overdone just very calming. Don’t apologize for anything. We never would have noticed if you had not mentioned it. I love the garland and lighting you placed around your home especially the kitchen. I would never have thought of that. I loved all your decorations. Your girls are lovely and so are their rooms. Enjoyed your Christmas home tour. Please take care of yourself. Rest is essential. You’re a busy mom. Praying that you feel better. God bless. 🙏👍😊💕
You don't need to make excuses for your home! Most of us would love to have a house half as beautiful! Your decorations are like a hug; nostalgic and homey. I think your outlets on the mantel are a clever idea. I love your garland on your bed. Everything is charming and cozy. What good is a decorated home that no one can live in? Your house is perfect for your family. I hope and pray that you will feel better very soon! Enjoy Christmas and a nice long break! 🎄
Kristin, your home belongs in a magazine, and you belong on the cover! You are so beautiful, and your home and family are, too! Merry Christmas❣️💚❤️💚 Linda
I love your home , imperfections and all ! Real life !! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! Take care of yourself and enjoy your family! And I will add that you look beautiful as well! Love the hair ! ❤️❤️❤️
Your home is lovely and so "quaint", and I don't mean it in a bad way! It is perfect! I am still trying to put things out, It is just my husband and I now, kids are grown, but I enjoy the lights and decorations. The little sled you thrifted is adorable. I live in Ohio in a community that has trash pickup in my area on Fridays, I walk my dog daily and you would be SHOCKED at what folks put out for trash, and I found a little sled exactly like yours in a box for the trash. I have even brought home furniture and refinished it, instead of trash finds, I call the :curbside finds"
Finding your channel was the best one Ive ever seen. You make me smile with your beautiful personality! Healing from major surgery now so finding your channel is everything! Just what the Dr ordered! I’ve been watching some older ones too. Thank you SO much!
Everything is so cute and cozy. The incense burner is amazing and reminded me of my very early childhood. My dad had an incense burner that was a little cabin with the smoke coming out the chimney. Thanks for jogging my memory. That thing used to intrigue me. As usual the girls are adorable.
Kristen your house is a real family home , lived in just like real life . I think a lot of people get dissatisfied with their life because it doesn’t feel like a Hallmark movie , they forget what is important in life . Our families , our memories are forever . You are a blessed woman . Silent Night , Holy Night , all is calm , all is bright . Thank you for your charming video , reminds me of my youth , in a family with 10 children , laughter , music , board games , laughter and visitors , The Best Christmases of my life . 💕🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Baby ?
Kristen you look like a model in this video!! I too follow Andrea. How special that you are such close friends. Never compare your home to anyone....it is beautiful!! You are THE most authentic, honest, genuine person I follow. Enjoy taking time off as you deserve it. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better during the holidays. Merry Christmas from the middle of Nebraska!!
🎉❤ on camera you cannot see how old the little Christmas tree and other things are in your home. It does not show on camera as a matter fact everything was perfect even the P spot on the bed. You’re a real Mom living in a beautiful home, blessed by God with beautiful children, and a very handsome husband embrace all the imperfections and what makes your home perfect. God bless you and the berry Chris happy merry Christmas to you and your family. Praying you feel better soon.❤😊
I'm sad to hear you're taking a break, however, I completely get it! I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted! I haven't been feeling well for a while, so I get it. I hope you find rest and healing, whatever that means for you. I love your videos and your sweet calming spirit.
Kristen, Please take care of your health and take the much needed rest. Be sure, after the start of the year, to go to your doctor and get totally checked out. Our bodies let us know when something is wrong. Your house looks so pretty, but you are way more important than any of that. We'll all be here when you are ready to come back!
I love Andrea too; she is so kind and her house is lovely. But I love you too. I would love to have a house like yours, don't under rate it and especially don't under rate yourself! I already planned to simplify decorating this year, then I dislocated my shoulder and couldn't get my decorations out or set up the tree. My precious kids came over and did it for me. Family and loved ones are such a blessing and so much more important than a magazine cover house. I love that you decorate with your kids, I always did too. Makes for wonderful traditions and memories, Have a blessed Christmas.
Embrace the mess, if you don’t point it out, no one will notice. Your so called thrown together decor is spontaneous, you have a good eye, then realize how great it looks without overthinking things. Everything is completely charming! Never compare yourself with others, I’m sure if you asked them, they’d tell you your place looks better than theirs. Be confident and do it quickly, then enjoy your beautiful family. I wish you truly realized you inspire people to more fully enjoy life.
Agreed!❤
Kristen, you have such a REAL home! I feel right at home! Your style is very unique and cozy…don’t apologize for sharing your reality…it’s real life. I could walk into your home and not worry about touching something and knocking it down…that’s a real talent for you to be able to do that. Cindi (from WV). 🥰.

Nothing wrong with your decor. I have gone more simple this year too.Less stress and more time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
Yes! Thank you!
I don’t want your home to look like hers. I want your home to reflect wonderful you! and your beautiful little family!
Thank you so much!
Your home to me is an expression of a true Christmas decorated country house! I love it! Be proud of yourself! You did a magical job!
Giiirrrrllll, I love both your homes equally for different reasons. Don't sell yourself short! Yours is one of my favorites on RUclips! It's so serene and lovely.

Off all the beautiful and charming homes on youtube, yours is the most authentically vintage. It looks utterly homey and real. I enjoy it very much.
I use rubber bands on candles if they are too small for the holders. Easy fix.

Thank you for the beautiful Christmas home tour Kristen! Don't sweat the small stuff. I pray your feeling better soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family! God bless ❤
I absolutely love your style. I will say it again. Best home channel on RUclips

I know it would overwhelm you right now, but your home would be a favorite on a Christmas home tour ❤❤❤
DITTO to so many of the sweet comments already posted!!! Feel better soon and Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄✝️🎄
I am glad that Andrea sent me your way. Please feel better!
Your Christmas decor is charming. Hope the break is truly restful and that you start feeling better. Merry Christmas!
I like the rustic "dead Mums" they are actually pretty with the decor, added texture. You have a lovely home. Kristen, you are so down to earth, stay the way you are!!
Such a beautiful home full of so much love. I’m praying you feel better Kristen. 🙏❤️🙏
Real life needs to be seen. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Your home is so charming. I looks so cozy and real. Don’t worry about things not being perfect. That’s what life is made of. Have a wonderful Christmas, and God Bless your sweet family ❤️.
Thank you so much!
Kristen, your home is beautiful. I love your simple decorations. It has a holiday spirit and it can tell through all your decorations. Sorry you don't feel well. Feel better soon and enjoy the holiday with your husband and your girls❤
I love the way you put the garland with lights all along the kitchen counter. Leaving them on all the time sounds wonderful. I can only imagine when you walk into the kitchen in the morning how sweet it must seem. I was just thinking how even thought your girls are very young, you're teaching them by doing. I love the way you've decorated. The last little tree looks to have 'that' primitive look.
Take care of yourself because You can't give what you don't have. Praying for you... Continued Blessings!
You have done more than you think. Your house looks charming. I am impressed with all the touches everwhere, the garlands throughout are so festive, love all the Christmasy quilts, books, horns,sleds, and the dining is perfect.
Kristen, you are a sweetheart! Your home is just perfect! We love all your decor and we especially love you. You are such a real person and most of the world watching you can see the same. Feel better doll and never ever feel that what you do is not the "best". It IS the best and fits to you and your family. That's what makes your channel so real. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Feel better and rest up! We will all be here upon your return after your last video of 2023! (Hugs)) xoxo
I love that Ruby is always eating an apple for a snack!!
I just love how real you are Kristen!! You make me smile and I absolutely adore your sweet home!!
Your home is absolutely cozy and decorated so beautifully 💕
Your decor on your desk tells a story…and I love it! Everything looks great! Kids learn how to be careful with fragile things.
You could always add a ruffle in a contrasting or cream fabric to extend the length of the curtains. Have a joyful, restful Christmas season with your family and friends.
Great idea!
How festive and beautiful and REAL!!! Thanks for being so down to earth and so real, it’s why you are so loveable! I pray you feel better and have a wonderful, blessed Christmas with your family. ❤🎄❤️
Thank you so much!!
Hey don’t Worry about the Mess! When your Babies are all Grown, you will Miss that and all the Giggles & all Noises TRUST ME Iam thier Now! Iam So Lonely! I throughly enjoy your Videos because your down to earth! And I Love those babies!
I love the loving simplicity of your Christmas decorating ~ so perfect for your precious girls. Your priorities could not be more “on the mark” !
Simplicity is beautiful and thst is your home! Welcoming and lovely! ❤
Kristen your home is beautiful!! It looks so magical with all the lights!! 😊
Simply gorgeous. Love every detail.
Thank you so much!
Kristen, you look amazing. I think your style and Andrea's are both beautiful!!! Give yourself some grace. You have three little girls and not feeling terrific during this pregnancy. I love your table arrangement. Simple but lovely. Every time I see your green fireplace tile, I fall in love with it again!!
Please take care of yourself...
Your home is beautiful and real !!!
Kristen, thank you for keeping your videos "real." Watching your videos is much more enjoyable than watching videos by homemakers that have professionals doing their social media posts or ones that post videos that are unrealistic for other homemakers to achieve.
Oh thank you!
You forgot to introduce your pup! Love Pine and Prospect. I bet you are just as fabulous. Love that you’re not perfect. It’s a lot of working finding and buying deals when you have a family. Love the nativity venyet. The tree is perfect. Mittens are extra special. Good for you to be listening to your body.
Oh thank you!
Girl! Your home looks amazing! After years of country stuff, we built a new home and went very modern. I like it, but seeing your home makes me realize how much I miss thrifting. You have a gift! Beautiful decor!
Take care of yourself! Enjoy the season, your family, and just rest. Peace, love, and joy in the blessed season and through 2024.❤ Merry Christmas
Kristen, I love your home, the decor that you choose & your family. And I think the outlet on the mantel is genius!! I truly admire you, young Moms that make videos, take care of their families & the home❤
I am wondering if your big news is an addition to your little family? You are really glowing, but as Josh says, "look at her-she is gorgeous!'" (or something similar)
I am praying that you feel better soon🙏
May God bless you all❣️
Love & hugs from the East side of TX 💙🎄🎁
It's clever the way you put the horn over the wreath.
Aw, Kristen! Love your home! So beautiful! I am so happy to see your channel doing so well! Praise God!!!
In a world of imitation and fake, you are truly charming because you are sooooo real. I cannot be alone in wishing you were my neighbor, friend, committee member, prayer partner, etc. Thank you for being you!
Your home is beautiful. I love simplicity not overdone just very calming. Don’t apologize for anything. We never would have noticed if you had not mentioned it. I love the garland and lighting you placed around your home especially the kitchen. I would never have thought of that. I loved all your decorations. Your girls are lovely and so are their rooms. Enjoyed your Christmas home tour. Please take care of yourself. Rest is essential. You’re a busy mom. Praying that you feel better. God bless. 🙏👍😊💕
Thanks for giving us real life! It’s so refreshing! Praying you feel better real soon!❤️🎄💚🙏🏻
Cozy cozy beautiful home!!! Feel better. God bless.
Love the natural table with oranges!
You don't need to make excuses for your home! Most of us would love to have a house half as beautiful! Your decorations are like a hug; nostalgic and homey. I think your outlets on the mantel are a clever idea. I love your garland on your bed. Everything is charming and cozy. What good is a decorated home that no one can live in? Your house is perfect for your family.
I hope and pray that you will feel better very soon! Enjoy Christmas and a nice long break! 🎄
Kristin, your home belongs in a magazine, and you belong on the cover! You are so beautiful, and your home and family are, too! Merry Christmas❣️💚❤️💚 Linda
I love your home , imperfections and all ! Real life !! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! Take care of yourself and enjoy your family! And I will add that you look beautiful as well! Love the hair ! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Your home is lovely and so "quaint", and I don't mean it in a bad way! It is perfect! I am still trying to put things out, It is just my husband and I now, kids are grown, but I enjoy the lights and decorations. The little sled you thrifted is adorable. I live in Ohio in a community that has trash pickup in my area on Fridays, I walk my dog daily and you would be SHOCKED at what folks put out for trash, and I found a little sled exactly like yours in a box for the trash. I have even brought home furniture and refinished it, instead of trash finds, I call the :curbside finds"
Would’ve loved to see it all at night lit up. Your home is lovely. I hope you start to feel better soon.
Finding your channel was the best one Ive ever seen. You make me smile with your beautiful personality! Healing from major surgery now so finding your channel is everything! Just what the Dr ordered! I’ve been watching some older ones too. Thank you SO much!
Everything is so cute and cozy. The incense burner is amazing and reminded me of my very early childhood. My dad had an incense burner that was a little cabin with the smoke coming out the chimney. Thanks for jogging my memory. That thing used to intrigue me. As usual the girls are adorable.
Exquisite…I would be so pleased and proud to live there! I would never want to leave! 🌲🌲🌲
Kristen your house is a real family home , lived in just like real life . I think a lot of people get dissatisfied with their life because it doesn’t feel like a Hallmark movie , they forget what is important in life . Our families , our memories are forever . You are a blessed woman . Silent Night , Holy Night , all is calm , all is bright . Thank you for your charming video , reminds me of my youth , in a family with 10 children , laughter , music , board games , laughter and visitors , The Best Christmases of my life . 💕🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Baby ?
It looks lovely! It is about family. No apologies needed. Enjoy the break!
Kristen you live in your house like we all do… don’t apologize for anything. Take care of yourself, Merry Christmas. 🎄
I pray you will feel better soon. You look like you feel better than last video.
Kristen you look like a model in this video!! I too follow Andrea. How special that you are such close friends. Never compare your home to anyone....it is beautiful!! You are THE most authentic, honest, genuine person I follow. Enjoy taking time off as you deserve it. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better during the holidays. Merry Christmas from the middle of Nebraska!!
🎉❤ on camera you cannot see how old the little Christmas tree and other things are in your home. It does not show on camera as a matter fact everything was perfect even the P spot on the bed. You’re a real Mom living in a beautiful home, blessed by God with beautiful children, and a very handsome husband embrace all the imperfections and what makes your home perfect. God bless you and the berry Chris happy merry Christmas to you and your family. Praying you feel better soon.❤😊
So true!
I have my coffee in hand and ready to go. Lets do this!😃
I can’t believe it’s snowed for y’all already!
My favorite is the mittens and bells on the door handle. Your home is lovely!
I'm sad to hear you're taking a break, however, I completely get it! I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted! I haven't been feeling well for a while, so I get it. I hope you find rest and healing, whatever that means for you. I love your videos and your sweet calming spirit.
Kristen, Please take care of your health and take the much needed rest. Be sure, after the start of the year, to go to your doctor and get totally checked out. Our bodies let us know when something is wrong. Your house looks so pretty, but you are way more important than any of that. We'll all be here when you are ready to come back!
I love Andrea too; she is so kind and her house is lovely. But I love you too. I would love to have a house like yours, don't under rate it and especially don't under rate yourself! I already planned to simplify decorating this year, then I dislocated my shoulder and couldn't get my decorations out or set up the tree. My precious kids came over and did it for me. Family and loved ones are such a blessing and so much more important than a magazine cover house. I love that you decorate with your kids, I always did too. Makes for wonderful traditions and memories, Have a blessed Christmas.
