Now that Thanksgiving is over, we are all excited and have had a good time decorating for Christmas! I want to share with you some of the toddler friendly Christmas decorations that I've collected over the years as I have made an effort to cater my Christmas decorations around my kids instead of the other way around.
If you're new here, Hi I'm Emily! I have ADHD and in order to keep me and my family functioning, I have found ways of organizing and creating systems that I don't always use, but I can put stuff back into when I need to. Right now, my family is living in Buenos Aires, Argentina in corporate housing. I'm going to show you a few ways that we are staying organized in our corporate housing for the next six months.
I wanted to share some neurodivergent friendly home decor ideas. As a reminder, I have ADHD, my husband has ADHD, our daughter is autistic, and we have a 10 month old. These things work for our neurodivergent house, they might not work for yours, but there's some ideas to start you off.
My mom has collected nativities for as long as I can remember. She has them from all over the world. In the time that my husband and I have been married, I started have started collecting nativities of my own, including ones that I have got while traveling. They have become some of my favorite treasured Christmas decorations and I want to share a few of my favorites with you. I've rounded up a few of my favorites and a few of my mom's favorites because she has some beautiful ones that I have grown up loving.
I look forward to decorating Christmas all year long. While I usually start decorating for Christmas on November 1st, it just didn't happen this year. We had a lot of activities the weekend of Halloween that we were participating in and right after that, I had to dive headfirst into the headboard and bed frame that I did so we could get them done in time for family to come visit. However, after our visitors left I was able to get decorating done which made me so happy! I've really come into my own with decorating, so I wanted to share some of my style choice with you.
When we bought our house, it was listed as a three bedroom, four bathroom home. Well, the third bedroom it turned out was actually just the upstairs loft area. However, when you came up the stairs there was no door. We asked the builders if they could add a door, but they were adamantly against it because that was "not how they designed the house". I'm not sure how you can consider a space a bedroom if there is no door, but that's just me. So after living here for a year, we decided to add a door to the bottom of the stairs ourselves.
