🎄 Remember when I said we were cooking up something special? It's time.

Introducing Holiday Magic Makers - where Pinterest dreams meet reality (minus the nervous breakdowns).

Katie and I have taken our combined decades of holiday chaos (her event planning expertise, my creative survival guides) and built the holiday support system we all actually need. Not just for Thanksgiving, but for the whole holiday marathon ahead.

Inside you'll find:

📋The exact planning systems we use (tested through years of "oops, the elf didn't move")
🎯Templates that actually work in real life
🤝 A community of fellow holiday enthusiasts who get it
💫Access to both of us for real-time problem solving

Plus, join now and you'll get immediate access to our complete Thanksgiving system - because yes, there's still time to make it magical without losing your mind.
Ready to turn that holiday chaos into somewhat-controlled magic? Link in comments!

🎄 Real talk: Getting that menu planner made a few of you feel better about Thanksgiving (the messages I'm getting are hilarious - yes, we've ALL forgotten to defrost the turkey at least once).

But here's the thing - menu planning is just the appetizer. What about the decorations multiplying in storage? The timeline that mocks your schedule? The traditions you're trying to juggle while creating new ones?

That's exactly why Katie and I built something bigger. Because after years of figuring this stuff out the hard way, we realized it's not about doing ALL the things. It's about doing the RIGHT things.

Ready for the full feast? Details dropping tomorrow at 10am. Trust me, you'll want to be there. 😉

Would you make this? 🎄 I love this idea for a kiddo project!

🎄 Hey creative souls! Quick holiday announcement - I'm teaming up with my cousin Katie (Emmy-winning lighting director by day, event planning wizard by night) to bring you something pretty special. Between her event expertise and my years of turning holiday chaos into downloadable sanity (you know, those planning guides thousands of you have used to survive the season), we're cooking up some holiday magic. ✨

More details on that soon. 😉

Meanwhile... anyone else staring down Thanksgiving prep like it's a final boss battle? Drop a 🦃 for a free menu planning guide (a taste of what's in our full holiday planning system). Because someone should benefit from our combined decades of holiday trial and error.

🤶 Tip: First step of a simpler, low-stress start to the holidays…start with ONE.

One wall.
One box.
One room.

Our front room isn’t the one we live in, so it’s a great, easy first place to tackle.

Starting before Thanksgiving, but it’s off the main living/kitchen area so my fall decorations still get a few days of enjoyment. There’s not much that happens in here, and by starting with the least visible, if it were to take longer to finish - cuz, you know, life - open boxes or scattered decor won’t interfere with daily routines.

About to get the “boring” tree set up for an easy win. 😊

OK, FIRST OFF. . . 👉🏼I've used spray foam for projects before, and that person HAS SKILLS. My experience was more like the initial bench test of the proton packs in Ghostbusters... 👻🤣

Now, that said: I applaud the creativity of this real-life gingerbread house idea! I've done some big "theme" decorations for Halloween, but I largely stay "classic" for Christmas. (Part of a treaty with my Christmas-loving, white-lights-purist husband, lol. 😁)

Would you try something like this? 🏠

Hey friends! A moment of real talk:

Losing my 14-year-old page to hackers hit hard. 3,500+ followers, years of content, countless connections - gone in an instant. When your digital home vanishes like that, starting over feels pretty daunting.

I'll admit, I've been quiet here because social media started feeling small compared to everything else brewing in my world. (Like leaving my six-figure corporate job. Yes, really. My family has opinions about this decision. 😅)

But here's what keeps me going: I'm building something that makes my wallet and ego nervous but my creative soul sing. Can't share all the details yet, but I promise - if you're a creative spirit looking for more magic and less overwhelm, you'll want to stick around.

Let's see where this journey takes us! 🥰
