With Timmy’s toys now decking our Christmas tree, last year’s shiny balls now spruce up the outdoors.
Sometimes a little red is all you need to make natural greens become even more vibrant.
I’m suddenly craving apples. And cherries.
We also went technicolor on two of our outdoor plants. The rainbow of colors was playful and made for a nice break from seeing red.
These balls no longer had their strings so Mama improvised with paperclips.
Not so bad, eh? Can you see me in those balls?
How do you decorate your home’s outdoors during the holidays? Share your stories and your pictures! I’d love to check them out!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
