How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Deck The Halls With SassyModernMom

in Everyday on 11/14/11

I love Christmas.  It’s a wonderful time to play hostess at parties, make real time for your family, and of course deck the halls out in the most beautiful decorations of the year.  Christmas decorations! My problem, the decorating ideas in my head never turn out quite as envisioned?  Part of my issue.  Nails. I have nail hole anxiety.  It only takes one or two “little slips” to leave you with a wall full of nail holes and one red faced from laughing until his sides hurt Hubby.  Me, nails, Christmas decoration placement…yah. It has always equalled disaster.  Until now!!

The lovely people of 3M and Everythingmom.com sent me a huge array of Command Brand Decorative Hooks and a decorating challenge.  I am one of 15 bloggers who was challenged to use 3M Command products in a Holiday Decor Challenge!  Want to know what I did?  

I took this plain old mantel from this:

To this:IMG_6752 Do you love?  I do! 

I hope you will pop over to Everythingmom.com and browse the holiday gallery of pictures created by all the creative bloggers participating in the Deck The Halls 3M program.  While you are there perhaps you will consider throwing a vote for me as your favourtie display!  (you know because I’m your favourite Sassy decorating diva)  If you do vote there will be chances for you to win one of the many Visa Gift Cards.  New cash prizes every single week!! The gallery with the most votes will also win a cash prize! 

Thanks, you can vote for me here! Vote for Stephanie!!

      I love it! I just cannot decorate! Although, not worrying about nail holes would help me place things, step back and look, then move around whatever doesn’t look right. Great idea!

      I think you did a stellar job! I’m going to have steal the idea of using those stars for wall art next year.

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
