0:33
[Music]
0:45
hello and welcome my name name is heaven
0:48
I am a stay-at-home mom and wife I have
0:51
a three-year-old toddler boy named Noah
0:52
J and here I Vlog about all things
0:54
motherhood and lifestyle I create
0:56
helpful realistic and relatable content
0:58
for you also if that's something that
1:00
you're interested in definitely
1:01
subscribe to my channel I post twice
1:03
weekly ads I would love to have you here
1:05
but let's go ahead and get into today's
1:07
video so here's what we're getting into
1:09
today I pulled out some things that we
1:12
had from the last Christmas season here
1:14
is newest Christmas stocking and then we
1:16
have a few other Christmas stockings
1:18
here we're going to be going with the
1:20
colors white and gold as well as forest
1:22
green maybe a little gray this season so
1:25
I don't think I'm going to be using like
1:26
these old Christmas stockings but I
1:28
don't know we may find some purpose for
1:30
them but I have
1:33
all of these like Christmas skirts and
1:35
Christmas stockings and then we have
1:37
like ornaments and wreaths and lights
1:39
inside of here a few like white and gold
1:42
Christmas ornaments but we actually
1:44
bought like some new ones because last
1:45
year we did like a bluish silver color
1:48
and we're not going to be using those
1:50
blue ones this year so I also found this
1:54
in the garage so this is a cake stand
1:56
but the bottom of it filled off so that
1:58
it doesn't go to waste I figured I could
2:00
repurpose this and make it kind of like
2:02
a table tray and put like some cute
2:05
candles or things like that inside of
2:07
there I also have this that I haven't
2:10
used in a while this is actually a
2:12
cupcake stand but I also thought it
2:14
would be really cool to repurpose this
2:16
one as well because I could use this as
2:18
a decorative tiered stand these are some
2:22
of the newer Christmas ornaments that we
2:23
purchased for the tree I also purchased
2:26
these nice looking pillowcases that we
2:29
can put on the throw pillows that's on
2:31
the sofas and then this is just like
2:34
some gold flowers ribbon garland and
2:38
things like that that we can use to
2:40
decorate like the tree and the home we
2:43
pulled out our Christmas tree from last
2:45
year so we also have to put that up this
2:48
year I went with fake poinsettias I love
2:51
these and I need them every single year
2:53
for Christmas time because it's a
2:55
Christmas plant and it looks so festive
2:57
how it has like that gold foil around
2:59
the bottom of the pot and I didn't pick
3:01
up any real ones this year yet I do
3:03
think I'm going to but for now I picked
3:05
up these two fake ones specifically
3:07
because well they match perfectly with
3:09
the color that we're going with for our
3:11
decorations this year but also so that
3:13
we can repurpose them for the future
3:15
years as well so I'll always have
3:18
poinsettias to pull out every single
3:20
year for the holiday season these are
3:23
our little angels so we have a smaller
3:26
one then we have a big one so these
3:28
angels normally either sit like at the
3:30
top of our fireplace or we put them at
3:32
the top of our tree so they light up and
3:35
they're so gorgeous like the wings light
3:37
up around the edges this little bouquet
3:39
in her hand lights up and like under her
3:42
dress kind of lights up and this one
3:44
lights up as well she has like these
3:46
little lights in her hands that's
3:47
supposed to be like candles and they're
3:50
absolutely beautiful
3:52
this here and we have one more that I
3:55
need to go get from downstairs this was
3:57
Noah's very first Christmas ornament so
4:00
we put that on the tree every single
4:02
year I pulled out a little buffet table
4:04
runner that I can put across this Buffet
4:06
stand and then I picked up like some
4:09
little bouquets from the dollar store
4:11
that were gold like poinsettias and then
4:14
I also grabbed two of these mini
4:17
Christmas trees because I think Noah
4:19
will have a good time decorating so I
4:22
got him some little ornaments to
4:23
decorate that with I also got him a
4:25
couple of Christmas crafts that we can
4:27
do in The Homeschool Room so I thought
4:29
that this would be a lot of fun so I'm
4:31
gonna have him make these one day in
4:33
class and then we can also see somewhere
4:36
up around the home so I had two frames
4:40
two eight by 11 photo frames and it has
4:44
like this gold and brown which gold is
4:47
like the color again that we're using
4:49
this season but this brown is also like
4:51
what's around our fireplace and we have
4:53
a gold fireplace so I thought that these
4:55
would look really nice in the family
4:57
room so I went and found these pictures
4:59
online printed them off on some
5:01
cardstock and I just put them inside of
5:03
the frame so now we can put those up
5:05
somewhere so these are those pictures
5:08
that I was telling you about that I
5:09
printed off Google so basically I just
5:11
went ahead and placed them inside of
5:13
these picture frames that I purchased at
5:15
the dollar store I figured it would be a
5:17
wonderful way to kind of just save some
5:19
money but still have some nice pictures
5:21
to put around the home so they were a
5:23
little bit bigger than the actual frame
5:25
size so here you're just going to see
5:27
that I'm just cutting off the excess
5:30
like cardstock that's left outside of
5:32
the frame so that it can have a nice
5:34
perfect fit when I did the second one I
5:38
realized that it was probably smarter to
5:40
kind of just fit it against that little
5:42
paper insert that comes inside the
5:44
picture frame so this time around I just
5:48
went that round and it was much easier
5:50
to kind of just get a secure and Perfect
5:52
Fit without having to like put it in
5:55
there first and then trim off any excess
5:57
paper so as you can see it kind of just
5:59
fit perfectly in there and I love the
6:01
way that it turned out
6:04
so I have one that says Have a Holly
6:06
Jolly Christmas and the other assassin
6:09
season now I'm just going to go ahead
6:11
and make some Christmas candles I'm
6:13
using a chestnut brown sugar fragrance I
6:16
have two gold candle holders that I pick
6:18
up from the dollar store for one dollar
6:20
each as well as a larger one that I had
6:22
around the house so I'm choosing between
6:25
Christmas Splendor as well as a
6:28
Christmas wish candle fragrance and I'm
6:31
just going to be using either of those
6:33
with a few candle wigs some candle wig
6:36
stickers as well as like these little
6:39
pin holders that hold the candle leak
6:40
steel and a green and red pigment so all
6:44
I'm doing is using the double boiler
6:46
method to melt down the soy wax inside
6:49
of this little pot and then while I'm
6:52
waiting for that to melt down I'm just
6:54
gonna go ahead and start putting my
6:56
candle wicks inside of the candle and
6:59
I'm using this little circle in the
7:00
middle as a guide to know exactly where
7:02
the sensor of the candle is and then
7:04
sliding those little candle wick holders
7:06
on top of them so that they don't fall
7:08
over once I add the wax in there I'm
7:11
also using a popsicle stick to kind of
7:12
just push down the candle wick so that
7:14
it sticks really well to the bottom
7:16
[Music]
7:20
so for this one I kind of had to pop up
7:22
with a little popsicle stick because the
7:25
candle wick holder was too short to go
7:27
all the way across the candle holder and
7:29
now that the candle wax has melted down
7:32
I'm just going to remove it from the
7:33
Heat and then set it aside to cool if
7:36
you add the fragrance inside of the wax
7:38
while it's still pretty hot all it's
7:40
just going to do is kind of just kill
7:41
off the fragrance so that it's not going
7:43
to have like a strong scent when you
7:45
burn it so I figured while it's cooling
7:48
down I'll go ahead and just get my
7:49
dinner started since we're going to be
7:50
pretty busy today putting up the
7:52
decoration So today we're going to be
7:53
having some chicken shrimp and sausage
7:56
gumbo so I'm just adding some vegetables
7:58
some chicken stock and pretty much just
8:01
throwing them all inside of a stock pot
8:02
and I'm just going to go ahead and let
8:04
that heat on really low as you can see
8:07
Noah has already gotten a head start on
8:09
the decorations he's just like twisting
8:11
some Garland around that little pillar
8:13
that we have in the kitchen so now I'm
8:15
just gonna go ahead and finish up the
8:17
candles so the wax has cooled now I'm
8:19
just separating them into two different
8:21
Bowls because I want two different
8:23
fragrances I'm using the Chestnut and
8:25
brown sugar fragrance and the larger
8:27
bowl and then I ended up using the
8:30
Christmas Splendor fragrance in the
8:32
second one so to give it a little bit of
8:34
Decor I decided to add the red pigment
8:37
color inside of the Christmas Splendor
8:40
fragrance candle and then I went outside
8:42
and grabbed some little pine leaves or
8:45
pine needles from off of my tree and I
8:47
added that to the Chestnut and brown
8:49
sugar one to make it a little more
8:51
fragrant and a little more festive
8:54
and now I'm going to pour the Christmas
8:57
blender fragrance into the candle
8:59
holders and then I'm setting both of
9:01
them aside so that they can solidify and
9:04
cool it down
9:09
now my gumbo has come to a boil so I'm
9:12
going to add some seasoning and then
9:13
simmer it down normally I like to use a
9:15
creole season but because Noah doesn't
9:17
like the spiciness I'm just using Goya
9:19
Old Bay is another one but it's too
9:21
spicy so I'm also just going to be using
9:23
some fine sea salt then I'm just going
9:25
to mix it together put the lid on it and
9:27
then let it simmer on low and then go
9:30
ahead and pop my chicken breast in the
9:32
oven I'm seasoning those with some
9:34
garlic powder onion powder Goya and some
9:37
fine sea salt as well and then just
9:40
putting those in the oven
9:42
[Music]
9:46
now to the fun part so I'm starting with
9:49
my kitchen table and I'm basically just
9:51
putting a few things on this tray that I
9:53
wanted to repurpose trying to figure out
9:55
what looks right and how I want to do
9:58
this so I'm deciding to put the Chestnut
10:00
and brown sugar candle in the center
10:02
with a vase that we already had and then
10:05
I'm adding some gingerbread cookies and
10:08
some chocolate Christmas tree cakes
10:10
inside of this little plastic canister
10:12
that I picked up from the dollar store
10:13
and I figured that this kind of just
10:16
looks okay to have on the table so that
10:18
we can you know always keep a few snacks
10:21
in front of us and I think it also looks
10:24
kind of cute and then here I also got
10:27
some chocolate mint candy canes and I'm
10:30
kind of just like putting them along the
10:31
grooves of the tray to see what that
10:34
looks like and let me know what you guys
10:36
think this is how it came out
10:39
[Music]
10:42
foreign
10:44
[Music]
11:25
foreign
11:32
little trees from the dollar store was a
11:35
really great idea because this way Noah
11:37
can have his own Christmas trees that he
11:39
can decorate all by himself and they can
11:42
just be unique to what he wants them to
11:44
look like and it can also kind of keep
11:46
him busy so that he'll have like
11:49
something to do while we're also trying
11:51
to fluff out and put the larger tree up
11:54
I also grabbed these tiny little
11:56
ornaments that turned out to be the
11:58
perfect size to put on the little tree
12:00
and Noah is eager to start putting them
12:03
on there even before he finished like
12:05
fluffing out the tree itself so my
12:09
husband and I are helping him to like
12:12
fluff the tree out and then I'm also
12:14
like putting the little hooks on the
12:16
ornament and then handing them to him so
12:19
he can put them onto the tree
12:23
foreign
12:28
[Music]
12:58
foreign
13:00
sure that this is my least favorite part
13:03
of Christmas decorating and that is like
13:06
fluffing out the tree and putting it
13:08
together it seems a little drawn out in
13:11
how long it takes and to be honest is
13:13
not the most fun but right now my
13:16
husband you can't see him he's kind of
13:18
like fluffing out the top part of the
13:20
tree that goes up there I always put all
13:24
of the branches on the tree first and
13:26
then fluff it out when I think it'll be
13:28
easier to like fluff the branches out
13:29
and then put them on the tree so next
13:32
time I'll probably try it that way or
13:35
I'll just skip this part completely and
13:37
buy a real tree or a tree that comes
13:39
pre-fluffed
13:41
nevertheless we got it done and here is
13:44
what it looks like once we finally
13:46
finished and put the top part on there
13:48
so now my husband is just helping me put
13:50
the lights on the tree while also
13:52
watching The Warriors NBA game and the
13:54
way that we do it is is I stand on one
13:57
side of the tree and he stands on the
13:59
other side and we kind of just pass it
14:00
back and forth to each other that just
14:02
makes it easier and then we do the same
14:04
thing with our ribbon while we're
14:07
putting the gold ribbon on we're leaving
14:09
a large gap so that we can then go back
14:11
and feel the gaps in with the white
14:13
ribbon and kind of fluff them out and
14:15
then add in some of these Garland or
14:18
points out of flowers that we had left
14:21
over to kind of just make it a little
14:23
more fessed up and this is how it turned
14:25
out before we put the ornaments on I
14:28
like it so far but let me know what you
14:30
think as well
14:32
hahahaha
14:38
[Music]
14:43
[Applause]
14:45
[Music]
14:59
foreign
15:06
foreign
15:17
[Music]
15:26
to make a little glass vase centerpiece
15:29
to put on this little glass coffee table
15:32
that we have in the family room in front
15:34
of the couch I'm using more of those
15:37
little fake points that is that we had
15:39
left over from our Garland box and I'm
15:41
adding stems to them and setting them
15:44
inside of the vase to kind of just make
15:46
like a gold Point inside a bouquet
15:49
[Music]
15:50
foreign
15:51
next I'm using those Christmas
15:53
pillowcases that I showed you guys
15:55
earlier in the video and I'm swapping
15:57
them out for the ones we originally had
15:59
on the sofa I think that this is a very
16:02
cost efficient and easy way to switch up
16:05
like seasonal and holiday Decor inside
16:08
of the home because instead of having to
16:10
like continue buying new pillows you
16:13
always had a little stash of pillowcases
16:16
tucked away I purchased these throw
16:18
pillow covers from Amazon it came four
16:21
in a pack and they were ten dollars a
16:23
pack on sale and I actually like the way
16:26
they turned out
16:29
I'm gonna go ahead and do the same thing
16:31
on this little full time that we have
16:33
this is our family room so we brought
16:36
this futon up out of our basement when
16:38
we had company over it just provides a
16:41
little extra seating for a family we try
16:43
to keep it warm and comfy for when
16:45
family comes over so that's what this
16:48
seating is for
16:50
[Music]
16:52
this is what I ended up doing with the
16:54
other two candles the picture frames and
16:57
Noah's Christmas tree I still have to
16:59
pick up a few more decorations to
17:01
repurpose that cupcake stand into a
17:03
layered tier but for now I think that's
17:05
good I still have to decorate our front
17:07
living room our kitchen once we're done
17:10
cooking for Thanksgiving as well as our
17:12
Upper Floor but I'm happy with how the
17:15
family room turned out so now a little
17:17
last minute cleaning so that I can give
17:19
you guys a proper tour
17:24
