Our DIY Christmas

”I’m participating in the Spend-Less Holidays: Saving While Savoring the Season Blog Carnival, hosted by The Frugal Fil-Am and Dainty Mom. We’ll be sharing our tips on how to spend less this holiday season, so that we can have a more meaningful Christmas. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of carnival entries.”

Last year was our first Christmas in our new home. That means, new home = moving in expenses + renovations and other unexpected expenses. So naturally, when the holidays rolled in, we really didn’t have that much budget for any Christmas decorations, trimmings and all that jazz. But silly old me Chrissy-mas-tree never wanted to succumb to the no-holiday-cheer atmosphere in our home. Besides, it was Lyndel’s first Christmas (well technically second but last 2010 he was still in an infant so he wasn’t really aware of things yet) and I wanted it to be special for him somehow.

Our Father’s Day buntings. In our household, a celebration always calls for buntings! 🙂 [Read more…]

My Super Organized Closet and Dresser

By Chrissy Caballero · Leave a Comment

This is my official entry to the Howard Storage World + Dainty Mom Wow Your Wardrobe Contest.

Writing this post took a lot of courage on my part. Courage and acceptance that I don’t have control in all aspects of my life. I also embrace vulnerability in posting these pictures of my domestic mess. I always wanted to be dubbed as the organized Mom. But sadly, I haven’t been for a while now.

Ever since we moved to our new home, I really haven’t had the time and chance to organize things, to make a home for everything. EPPE as they call it – Everything in its Place, a Place for Everything. I have ideas but I always end up feeling uninspired maybe due to lack of the right storage implements. And these days, no matter how I try to organize our stuff, they always end up in a messy pile because they have to be placed on top of the other so that my son can’t reach them. [Read more…]
