Do you use an artificial tree and hate the gap between the tree skirt and the bottom of the tree branches? This is one Christmas Tree Hack you need in your life – tree collars! These are the perfect way to hide your artificial tree’s base. And, don’t miss out on our other Christmas Hacks, and our tutorial on How to Snowflock a Christmas Tree!

How many of you have a farmhouse look in your home? This Farmhouse Tree Box is the perfect tree collar to match your decor. I just love this one. It’s definitely the one I need for my family’s Christmas tree!


This Galvanized Metal Christmas Tree Collar is another great one for rustic home decor. I love the galvanized metal and that it says “Fresh Cut Christmas Trees”. This is a great tree collar for short or pencil trees.


Do you want your artificial tree to look like a real one? This Artificial Bark Christmas Tree Collar is just what you need! I love this option so you can give your tree the feel of a live one!


How fun is this Red and Green Christmas Tree Collar? It totally reminds me of The Little Drummer Boy’s Drum! And, it’s bright and Christmasy with its colors.


Add some colorful Christmas flair with this festive Red and White Christmas Tree Collar. Not feeling in the mood for those colors? Just flip it over so you’re using the tree bark side! I love that you get 2 looks in 1 with this.


Buffalo plaid is such a popular pattern for winter, so this Buffalo Plaid Christmas Tree Collar is a winner. This is one of my favorite patterns, so I’m definitely going to need this one in my life as well!

Peapod Thanksgiving Savings – Grab $25 off your purchase plus 60 days free delivery. Order meal kids, organics, baby food, pantry staples and more.

Peapod grocery delivery has been the best thing I have done for myself since having the twins!

The Peapod November offer has expired but there are always new savings with THIS LINK. Also check out the free trial to Amazon Fresh delivery as well as Instacart grocery delivery.

Since I love it, I have wanted to share it with you and now is the perfect time for you to try it. There are no subscriptions, no feed to join, it’s absolutely free!

Get $25 Credit for Free!

This month, get 60 Days FREE Delivery from Peapod (this gets you through the holidays)  and get $25 off your first order with my link!  You can also then use your link and refer others for $25 to yourself!

I order throughout the day by placing things in my cart. Once I hit the $60 threshold, I get free delivery – this is not hard for my family to do. You can grab meal kits, pantry staples, organics, baby foods, anything a grocery store holds.

No leaving things off your list!

If I order and then remember I need more items, I have until 6 pm (the day before delivery) to add more items to my cart. I can use their app or shop online (don’t worry they sync immediately.) Additionally, I can choose the delivery time that fits my family. I get text alerts when Peapod is on the way or when they have arrived. This allows me to open the door before they even knock, saving me naps!

After your 60 free days of delivery

After your free 60 days of delivery, you pay anywhere from $7 to $10 for a delivery fee or pick up outside the store for free. The $7 to $10 depends on how much you spend. Spend more, pay less on delivery.

For our area, Peapod is associated with Giant. Others areas including the grocery chain Kroger and Jewel.

This $25 credit is for November only. Enjoy the grocery store to your front door. Fresh guaranteed. New Specials Every Week.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

You might remember us bringing home the twins (okay, maybe not, it was two years ago.) In this photo, I am wearing an outfit I wear all winter long. A black turtleneck sweater, black leggings, and boots. It is so forgiving during the holiday season, looks great dressed up or down and is so easy to put together. Since my sweater is worn and old, I just picked up this new one to keep my staple outfit alive!

Warm enough to go through the cold winter in a chic style, this Chunky Knit Pullover Sweater features a turtleneck collar which protects from the cold wind, and the slight side slit on the bottom allows for a loose fit. It’s a classic fit in super soft knit fabric.

Fits true to size.
