Christmas Dinner Table Setting…

….

I just love a perfectly set dinner table. Not only does it look so festive but it also resembles my love for all the holidays and family festivities. I have a great love for details as well so I try to incorporate as many special elements as possible. 

This years decoration color theme is Red – the classiest of all Christmas colors so I went with a Red and Green table scape. 

How to set the table

I always start with the table cloth or table runner. For this year I only added a table runner cause I wanted to keep the rustic flair of the wooden table with the greenery I put on top of the runner.

Then I add the deocr like bottle brush trees or gingerbread houses on the center of the dinner table. This year I went with fresh greenery and golden candle holders. Very laid back but super festive. To add the viral bow trend to my table setting I have wrapped a little red bow around every candle holder on the table. This added very much to the festiveness.

Afterwards I start with the plate setting. This time I used metallic green table

Christmas Movie Night – The Grinch…

….

My girls have come to love the Grinch movie very much (the animated version of course) so I have decided to make it a little cozier and more special than usual. 

Our teepee was just the right thing for this. Filled with blankets and cozy pillows and decorated with cute twinkling stars. To fit the theme I have gotten Grinch sweaters and a little onesie for our newest member and some other grichy merchandise. 

I want my girls to have that special feeling during Christmas time and make it even more special. 

For snacks we had the most classic movie snack of all – popcorn and for the festiveness of Christmas time I added a little cup of hot chocolate with cream and sprinkles to our feast.

How to store your Child´s Birthday Memorabilia…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

I am very sentimental. This is not a secret, I shed the ocassional tear after watching the end of Disney movies and I get very emotional putting away the girl´s clothes cause I can mostly remember when and where each special piece has been worn. I also love looking back at pictures, especially birthday pics cause it is just such a special day for a little one being celebrated all alone and also having one surprise after another. 

We have had quite the birthday parties over the last few years. Each and everyone special on its own and I have loved decorating and planning them so much. Since our children are still young they probably won´t remember all of their birthdays and that is where my keep sake pouches come in handy.

I have thought up and down how and what to keep from their birthday parties and came up with some things I definitely want to keep every time.

What to put into your child´s birthday keep sake pouches

– the outfit they have worn

– cake topper with number or font

– little fondant figurines if possible to let them dry out before storing or any other cake 

– garlands or confetti

– cute themed accessories

– printed photos I took on their special day

– birthday garlands or a printed poster

– handmade birthday invitations

– a little something from their gift bags if there was a kid´s birthday party

Of course you can keep anything you like in your keep sake pouches. This is just to give you some ideas.

 

The pouches are simple document pouches but I find them to very practical for several areas in our home. I also have them in our playroom holding wooden puzzles, beads or small figurines. 

Mine are from SheIn and the size of a DINA4 sheet of paper. I get the pack of 3 for 5 Euro. They are made out of a soft fabric and breathable but you can get the standard colored plastic ones as well. Work great too. 

The golden sticker numbers will probably hold a bit better on the plastic document pouches but I haven´t had a problem yet so I am going to stick to the white fabric ones.
