In this ultimate Christmas homemaking marathon, I’m taking you right along with me for a full clean + decorate day—because I always feel like the holiday decor hits different when the house is actually reset first. I’m doing a cozy “clean with me” style deep tidy, getting the floors and surfaces handled, and making the living spaces feel fresh before I start pulling out the Christmas pieces. I also share some of my favorite budget-friendly tips for making your home feel festive without overcomplicating it. We’ll work through the main areas where life piles up the fastest (hello, entryway and living room), and I’ll show you how I like to refresh a room as I’m decorating—simple swaps, quick declutters, and little touches that make everything feel pulled together. I also have dinner going (because we still have to feed everybody), and I’m sharing the products I’m using throughout the day so you can grab what you need. If you’ve been needing motivation to clean, reset, and get your home Christmas-ready, this one is for you.
