I notice many people change their tree every year with a new look. I love my tree ornaments and look forward to using the same ones every year. Is that odd? It only comes once a year. I may pick up a few new things but I love the tradition of using the same decorations year after year! Guess I am just old fashion lol. Love the fact you only got a few things that spoke to you.
I really appreciate that you keep it real and look after your $. There is so much consumerism and I'm sure you must feel the pressure of being an influencer at this time of year. It's so refreshing too that you don't follow the same trends.
I so agree with you about the led lights. I am not a fan either. I decorate my tree with the same ornaments every year. Even after my children moved out out on their own. I keep saying I am going to do something different and then the nostalgia gets me.
“They’re beautiful, they’re gorgeous.. they’re expensive” me everytime I browse the hearth and hand section 😂 I didn’t know Target had all of those ornaments!! So sweet ❤
I agree with you about LED lights. I bought them by mistake and put them in a wreath in our mud room. Bugs me every time I look at them. 😂 Gonna have to stock up on the others. I am proud of you for using restraint on your purchasing. Way too much spending and changing every year. 😊
LEDs have pros and cons. But I think you can find LEDs with different lighting tones. You can change the colour and tones just like with incandescent bulbs.
Proud of you! The spend-more-spirit can be contagious this time of year! Love the beauty your are cultivating, not only in home but also in your family and spirit. God bless!
Your little Lillly baby is just so adorable! I can barely watch and listen to you when her sweet little face is in the camera! She is just sooooooo sweet and cuddly on your lap. Love that cedar tree from Hobby Lobby. I hope they have some left to purchase. Thanks for sharing another great video and being so real, as always! :)
My daughter and I were just talking about preferring the warm lighting over LED. Something about LEDs are so harsh. I get to go to Hobby Lobby only once a year since we have to go out of town to get to one and we went this weekend for my birthday and had a ball! LOVE that store❤😊
Kristen ,A trick I use it I use regular ornaments on my tree but those super pretty ones I will get a couple of them and use them as decor .The berries you like are called candied or sugared ,they are beautiful on a tree and I’m with you ,I love a red ticking stripe .Try a fabrics store if you have one .I love the cup as it’s so cute but baby girl is even cuter !
Lily is so precious I her pretty outfit❤❤❤. I am glad you stuck to your design and not just buying to be buying. I was stuck in that and I regretted so many purchases. I tried to decorate what was popular and not what my gut told me. Like you I love coffee mugs, I can’t even drink coffee. I always used to decorate with the traditional bulbs and now with my Christmas tree that at the age of 73 we purchased an artificial tree that is lighted with soft lights. Your haul today was giving me ideas to go shopping at Hobby Lobby’s. I hope you have a great and Happy Thanksgiving🧡🤎🍂🍁🦃
Good job for not going overboard. I like all you picked up and I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in Canada. You little Lilly is just so adorable and she seems to be so easy going… just like her mommy. You have a wonderful family… the Lord has certainly blessed you. All the best to you all.❤❤
The small cedar tree could be used year round. It could sit with no ornaments or you could do seasonal stuff...hearts for Valentines, eggs for Easter, etc.
Love the items you got! I loaded up on the incandescent lights. I get a few each year because I do not like LED lights at all. Warm and glowing lights are what define Christmas. And natural elements are a must.
Oh my gosh that baby !!! Sooo Precious! Love how you both coordinate. You had me laughing because you always say your not into red but you keep Coming up with red items. The thing is you are attracted to red and nothing to be ashamed of hahaha I love some red here and there not lots of red or big pieces of red or a bright red but putting some out in little touches here and there looks so warm and cozy in winter. I couldn’t agree more with you about the lights . I hate the new lights So fake and overly bright no warmth just so harsh . Our neighbors did the outside of their house in blue ones and they were so blinding and ugly . I just put candles in my windows for a soft warm welcoming glow that’s all we need. You made some very nice purchases . I really loved that tree just beautiful. Speaking of beautiful you look glowing with beauty from the inside out. Keep shining the light of the lord people need to see that more than ever. God Bless you and your family 🙏🕊💕🌹
Agree about the lights! Hate LED lights! You should be proud as restraining what you buy! Everything is beautiful! I’m a blue person though all year long! 🎄💙🎄
I have something to share...I too, hate LED lighting, but it's a battle with my husband about the cost, the heat volume, the everything..lol! So we have LED lighting. But you're right about the incandescent glow. It's gorgeous on the tree ❤
My daughter and I were at Hobby Lobby last week! Bought two gorgeous pine swags, two strands of bells on twine and some candles and holders. I just LOVE it there too. Love Lily's chubby little face. God Bless!
Lilly resembles Rosie 🌹 Such a beautiful family I love that you didn’t go overboard on your little shopping trip I never liked LED lights either , I found a great strand of lights that wasn’t, and I was so happy ❤️🎄❤️ I bought that little stable for my little nativity set last year, it was so darn cute ,and a great deal
I hate LED lights too. I never use them and they are so bad for your eyes. My house is so cozy and moody at night with all of our lamps and old school light bulbs. I buy old light bulbs whenever I see them from yard sales. They don’t make em like they use to. The baby is getting so big and she is just the sweetest baby!! Those cheeks are to die for!❤
THAT LITTLE LILLY IS SO SMART//SHE LISTENS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY//She is a happy baby/she is going to love christmas/all the pretty lights on the tree//she is going to have a lot of fun//
I'm with you on the LED lights Kristen. It is getting harder to find the incandescent ones. I love to shop for new Christmas decor on a budget and only purchase what I need or really like. We are lucky to have some great little shops in our area so supporting those shops keeps me away from Hobby Lobby (❤) LOL. Looking forward to seeing how you decorate your home! Thank you much for your honest opinions and content!
You are so right about the lights! I’m hoarding them!! AND…since I don’t care for how bright some of them are, so I sit while watching RUclips, and color each light with magic markers. Usually brown, yellow, or orange, or a combination of all three. They stay translucent, like stained glass, and provide just the right glow. But LED’s are YUCK! I’m like you on the mugs, prices, holiday prepping, and the baby is scrumptious, and I’d be kissing those cheeks for days. ❤️ and our Hobby Lobby is out of those trees, and I found Robert Stanley big, red goblets at Goodwill for $1.99 each, which I thought was a lot, till I saw them at HL for I think $11.99 each! Half off, they’re $6!! So I was SO happy! Still had his sticker on the bottom. Happy Dance. 🕺🏼 Great video. Don’t forget I have a channel, but my cute baby twins are 24 yrs old, so I can’t have them with me. ☹️🤭
I just found your channel. I love the way Lily loves the sound of her Mama's voice ❤ You got some nice items! I am a BIG mug collector. I just love my mugs. My favorite to collect are Rae Dunn. I like it when they speak to me with a special meaning. TFS 😊
You showed great restraint in your shopping! Way to go! Like you, I try to be mindful of the dollars I spend. I want to be a good steward of our income, plus, I enjoy the pleasure of finding things I really love at an inexpensive price! I hear ya, Kristen! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!!
Haha! I’m pretty sure I was the one that commented previously that I love your style because it doesn’t look like you just walked into Hobby Lobby!! LOL … I love Hobby Lobby too! 😂 But what I meant was, I love how your home has a very curated, personal look of a collected/ thrifted/ vintage/ primitive style decor that makes it so uniquely yours😊
Good for you! I also love those types of lights and yes I have a hoard of them! You never know when things we love might disappear from us. I am totally on board with ya! ❤Also I am trying really hard not to buy new things I don’t need, so I get what you’re saying. Have fun this holiday with your “little women”! ❤
Hi Kirsten! New subscriber here! I initially clicked on one of your videos because I loved your hair color, but I stayed for the wholesome family life content. I wanted to ask you, if you want to share how you manage to keep your hair looking so good, and get your highlights perfectly done on a budget. I want to change my hair color and go blonde, but so far I've been quoted like almost 1000$ at the hair salon, which is not anywhere near my budget!
I agree, the LED lights are not a cozy and warm as in incandescent ones, however, they don’t seem to be as finicky. Every year, I would have areas of my tree lights go out and I would not be able to track down the offending bulb. My husband would have more patience than I and sometimes get them working again. The LEDs seem to hold up better.
Around the house we have the lights where you can change the temp from a warm yellow to a cool daylight white and they are daylight most of the year but something about Christmas calls for the warm glow of an incandescent light
Great video! I'm running to Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get that little tree, the pinecone picks and the pine stems! Hobby Lobby is one of my favorite places to get decor for Christmas. Lily is just so precious, I always enjoy seeing her in your videos. Wishing you and your family and blessed Christmas! 🎄
Kristen...Lilly, though.. what a little angel!!! Y'all are too sweet!! I love watching your channel..your girls are precious. HAPPY ALMOST THANKSGIVING!!
The see through berries are sugared. I think those super heavy ornaments would be beautiful if they were tied in a cluster and were made at various lengths, hanging off the end of a mantle…sort of like bells. ❤
Ok so I absolutely love the gingham looking short you’re wearing, so cute. I also must admit I do not like LED lights and refuse to use them 🤷♀️. I use “rice lights” on my trees and have for many years. They give a very primitive cozy look. 😊
The faux little cedar tree looks great! Of course I prefer real plants... But that was definitely a favourite of mine from your haul! Great video. Heres to a happy Christmas Time! 🎄
Hello Kristen and sweet Lily! She's getting so big, and she's so adorable!🥰 I wish we had a target just a like closer. Its only about 20min if the traffic isn't to bad. But the area i live in is a small town that has become VERY over populated! There are dozens & dozens of 50+ neighborhoods. This time of year its even more over crowded with the retirees from up north coming to their winter home, in one of those neighborhoods. Plus they're steady building apt complexes & more housing communities everywhere you look! All that to say, i hate going anywhere, traffic is always horrific here!☹️ Lol, back to Target..i would love to have one of each of those little rolling pins, so cute! Although my fav stockings are the vintage or vintage inspired ones made from the tapestry fabric & also love ones made from quilt pieces.. but i will say those cable knit ones in Target were gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen chargers made with greenery.. loved those!💚 I really like the garland with cinnamon, cranberries & pinecones, very pretty! I want to pick up a couple of he bell garlands.. but I'll rub the bells with antiquing wax to make them look older & not so shiny. I love all the berry stems..i love anything with berries! The faux 'sugar coated' ones are beautiful.. which are the ones you asked what they're called.😉 I agree, LED lights are way too bright! At Christmas I was a soft, warm, glow not a Star Wars battle!😄 I think that's a great analogy by the way😁 I love the cedar tree, it look very realistic! You did great with the budget, you're better than me!🫣lol You did pick up some nice pieces tho! Enjoyed the video & thanks for sharing! I pray you have a blessed & wonderful Thanksgiving!🙏🏻🦃
The anger LED lights bring me 😂😂 It was a hunt to find the right lights. Warm white LED is just not right at all!! Dollar General lights for the win this year!
Hi Kristen ..the little cedar tree is so cute. My husband was so proud of himself for putting led in the bathroom. Omg, I looked ten years older. 😂😂😂😂Who wants that bright in the bathroom. I have had the same soft lights for the mantle and they finally died. It is hard to find the older soft glow lights. My brother just told me our high electric bill would go down if we would stitch to led…😢😮 I am so glad you almost had a day to yourself. If you want to bring Lily to WV you can bring her to me 😂❤❤❤ . She is the most adorable baby. When we went to BC to see my brother , we found the most beautiful pine ones in all sizes…from little to super sized and they are just different than ours..just beautiful. I went to Michael’s the other day. I always buy my ribbon from estate sales, but I wanted plaid for a grapevine wreath I made and use primitive looking ornaments. A small roll was twelve dollars and ninety nine cents. No thanks, I used something I had that was not all glitzy. Thanks for taking us along. I have been trying to stay out of the stores, because my husband has had medical bills. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. ❤❤❤
Hi Kristen, the garlands at Hobby Lobby did seem to sell out early. Yes, Command is so expensive! I don’t know of anything else that won’t ruin your walls though. I’m not sure how I feel about LED lights. Love to see Lily!
Hi Kristen, I enjoyed watching your video today, your haul was nice. Thank you for sharing the information. God Bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hi Kristen! You make me laugh. Girl I’m with you on the LED lights. Just and FYI, LED is available in the warm white now. So it gives that warm glow instead of the cold bluish glow that LED is known for. Keep an eye out. My hubby had to replace some of the outdoor lights and he mentioned LED and I basically told him no don’t even bother. lol. He came back with warm white! lol. As I get older slowly going through and getting rid of a lot of my decor. I’m all about the minimalist mindset right now. Love what you picked up.
I’m with you on the LED lights, I hate them! I need to stock up on incandescent string lights too. I too love those little cedar trees from HL. I bought 3 of the same size you bought then went back a week later and bought 2 more PLUS 3 of the smaller cedar trees. I also bought some cute tins to place the larger trees in.
Your baby is adorable!! 🥰 also, I agree with being reserved on spending…I love looking, but I only get what I truly love or need. I always remind myself I will have to clean, fix and store whatever I get, that keeps me in check 😂
I notice many people change their tree every year with a new look. I love my tree ornaments and look forward to using the same ones every year. Is that odd? It only comes once a year. I may pick up a few new things but I love the tradition of using the same decorations year after year! Guess I am just old fashion lol. Love the fact you only got a few things that spoke to you.
Same here :)
Same
Yes! Same! My girls so look forward to hanging ornaments as there are memories attached to them that are built upon each year.
Thats what I was trying to communicate but not good with words lol!
@@marebear09 Okay it's not just me😄
I really appreciate that you keep it real and look after your $. There is so much consumerism and I'm sure you must feel the pressure of being an influencer at this time of year. It's so refreshing too that you don't follow the same trends.
Agreed! Kristen, I’m not here to see what you buy new but to enjoy your talent in putting together such a beautiful home for your family. ❤
I love how Lily looks at you when you talk to her. It’s like she really understands what you’re saying!!:):)
Lilys little face is the cutest. ❤
I am so in line with your incandescent lights and bulbs ! You are totally right.
The baby girl is absolutely adorable ☺️
Agree! I thought she was so cute I inadvertently started talking baby talk and showed her to my husband. Plus that bow wrap is adorable!
I agree about the beauty of incandescent lights! In my day, that is all that we used and they were wonderful!! Go for it girl!! 🥰
I so agree with you about the led lights. I am not a fan either. I decorate my tree with the same ornaments every year. Even after my children moved out out on their own. I keep saying I am going to do something different and then the nostalgia gets me.
Yeah...I liked it so much last year that I took pictures and am trying to replicate it this year!
I agree I DO NOT LIKE LED LIGHTS. 💯 back your statement!
I love all of our old ornaments. Its always a trip down❤ memory lane!!
what a gorgeous little baby.. My 3 boys grew up & are in their 40's, but I
love them to pieces & now I cherish my grand-kiddies.
I agree with incandescent lighting. They baby girl looks like a doll!!! So cute!!! Can’t wait to see your beautiful home in Christmas decor!!!
“They’re beautiful, they’re gorgeous.. they’re expensive” me everytime I browse the hearth and hand section 😂 I didn’t know Target had all of those ornaments!! So sweet ❤
I totally agree about the lights! I hope they don’t stop making the regular ones.
They already have. I was in a store in August 2023 and was told it is now illegal to sell incandescent bulbs.
I’m with you on the LED lights!!!
I agree with you about LED lights. I bought them by mistake and put them in a wreath in our mud room. Bugs me every time I look at them. 😂 Gonna have to stock up on the others. I am proud of you for using restraint on your purchasing. Way too much spending and changing every year. 😊

Oh Lilly gets more adorable every video.
Your little Lillly baby is just so adorable! I can barely watch and listen to you when her sweet little face is in the camera! She is just sooooooo sweet and cuddly on your lap. Love that cedar tree from Hobby Lobby. I hope they have some left to purchase. Thanks for sharing another great video and being so real, as always! :)
Kristen your videos are the best and what gorgeous daughters you have! Love all your finds! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you! You too!
No led lights for me either! I even stocked up on incandescent light bulbs before they stopped producing them. Have a bin full in all wattage sizes.
With you on the led light perspective!!! They’re so cold and blue-ish!!
My daughter and I were just talking about preferring the warm lighting over LED. Something about LEDs are so harsh. I get to go to Hobby Lobby only once a year since we have to go out of town to get to one and we went this weekend for my birthday and had a ball! LOVE that store❤😊
I agree I like the regular lights makes the tree so beautiful .I do not use the LEDS
I love the older style lights too!!! The led lights are not cozy and warm looking.
That baby is so cute!
Have a blessed thanksgiving ❤so thankful for you!
I totally agree with you on the lights, warm white incandescent are the prettiest! Love the little tree too!
Lily is so precious! Looks just like her mama. ❤
Kristen ,A trick I use it I use regular ornaments on my tree but those super pretty ones I will get a couple of them and use them as decor .The berries you like are called candied or sugared ,they are beautiful on a tree and I’m with you ,I love a red ticking stripe .Try a fabrics store if you have one .I love the cup as it’s so cute but baby girl is even cuter !
Lily is so precious I her pretty outfit❤❤❤. I am glad you stuck to your design and not just buying to be buying. I was stuck in that and I regretted so many purchases. I tried to decorate what was popular and not what my gut told me. Like you I love coffee mugs, I can’t even drink coffee. I always used to decorate with the traditional bulbs and now with my Christmas tree that at the age of 73 we purchased an artificial tree that is lighted with soft lights. Your haul today was giving me ideas to go shopping at Hobby Lobby’s. I hope you have a great and Happy Thanksgiving🧡🤎🍂🍁🦃
I love the warm glow of incandescent lights also!!🌲✨💡
🤣😂🤣that little one is so stinking adorable. She is not going to miss anything 🤣😂your little side kick
Good job for not going overboard. I like all you picked up and I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in Canada. You little Lilly is just so adorable and she seems to be so easy going… just like her mommy. You have a wonderful family… the Lord has certainly blessed you. All the best to you all.❤❤
The small cedar tree could be used year round. It could sit with no ornaments or you could do seasonal stuff...hearts for Valentines, eggs for Easter, etc.
😊always such a pleasure to see Lily’s cute little baby face. I have 4 kids too ages 9-4 so I totally get the “semi-alone” time. ❤
I agree 100% on the incandescent lights! Warm soft golden glow!
I love all that you found, but my absolute favorite that always makes me smile is Lily😊😊😊
Love the items you got!
I loaded up on the incandescent lights. I get a few each year because I do not like LED lights at all.
Warm and glowing lights are what define Christmas.
And natural elements are a must.
Oh my gosh that baby !!! Sooo Precious! Love how you both coordinate. You had me laughing because you always say your not into red but you keep
Coming up with red items. The thing is you are attracted to red and nothing to be ashamed of hahaha I love some red here and there not lots of red or big pieces of red or a bright red but putting some out in little touches here and there looks so warm and cozy in winter.

Loved the haul ! That sweet Lily is one of the most perfect and beautiful babies I've ever seen.
Call Gerber she'd a perfect face for their add
THAT LITTLE LILLY IS SO SMART//SHE LISTENS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY//She is a happy baby/she is going to love christmas/all the pretty lights on the tree//she is going to have a lot of fun//
Lily is a beautiful baby! Thank you for showing us that limiting purchases can be fun and rewarding. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

The anger LED lights bring me 😂😂 It was a hunt to find the right lights. Warm white LED is just not right at all!! Dollar General lights for the win this year!
Hi Kristen ..the little cedar tree is so cute.
My husband was so proud of himself for putting led in the bathroom. Omg, I looked ten years older. 😂😂😂😂Who wants that bright in the bathroom. I have had the same soft lights for the mantle and they finally died. It is hard to find the older soft glow lights. My brother just told me our high electric bill would go down if we would stitch to led…😢😮 I am so glad you almost had a day to yourself. If you want to bring Lily to WV you can bring her to me 😂❤❤❤ . She is the most adorable baby. When we went to BC to see my brother , we found the most beautiful pine ones in all sizes…from little to super sized and they are just different than ours..just beautiful. I went to Michael’s the other day. I always buy my ribbon from estate sales, but I wanted plaid for a grapevine wreath I made and use primitive looking ornaments. A small roll was twelve dollars and ninety nine cents. No thanks, I used something I had that was not all glitzy. Thanks for taking us along. I have been trying to stay out of the stores, because my husband has had medical bills. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. ❤❤❤
I have to say I agree with you 100% about the LED lights 😅
Oh your little one is adorable
Hi Kristen, the garlands at Hobby Lobby did seem to sell out early. Yes, Command is so expensive! I don’t know of anything else that won’t ruin your walls though. I’m not sure how I feel about LED lights. Love to see Lily!
I love your philosophy to love what you have. Hobby Lobby does have the red and white ticking ribbon. It is in the sewing area.
A holiday prepper! That made me laugh, Kristen!
I'm with you on the LED lights. I despise them too on my tree. I ditched them.
Hi Kristen, I enjoyed watching your video today, your haul was nice. Thank you for sharing the information. God Bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Lily is so adorable. You have such a good and beautiful baby. Again I love watching your videos. What a great find for Christmas. Have a blessed day.
Love her outfit and your jacket!
Despise the LED lights too! So much harder to find the good, classic ones, so much warmer and inviting. ❤
Hi Kristen! You make me laugh. Girl I’m with you on the LED lights. Just and FYI, LED is available in the warm white now. So it gives that warm glow instead of the cold bluish glow that LED is known for. Keep an eye out. My hubby had to replace some of the outdoor lights and he mentioned LED and I basically told him no don’t even bother. lol. He came back with warm white! lol. As I get older slowly going through and getting rid of a lot of my decor. I’m all about the minimalist mindset right now. Love what you picked up.
I’m with you on the LED lights, I hate them! I need to stock up on incandescent string lights too. I too love those little cedar trees from HL. I bought 3 of the same size you bought then went back a week later and bought 2 more PLUS 3 of the smaller cedar trees. I also bought some cute tins to place the larger trees in.
Your baby is adorable!! 🥰 also, I agree with being reserved on spending…I love looking, but I only get what I truly love or need. I always remind myself I will have to clean, fix and store whatever I get, that keeps me in check 😂
Lily is a doll! I think she wants to talk to us!❤
I agree with you on lighting!!!! I look all around for regular light bulbs!!! I hoard non-LED lights!
Oh my! Lilly is so precious! ❤️❤️❤️ Great video!
Thank you!! 😊
Agree with you strongly about those LED lights. Hate them!!
