As we are coming up on Holiday season I love to take a minute and be intentional with what I want the next few months to look and feel like in my home. Take 30 minutes and sit down to create a list. I have found the best way for me to make this list the most intentional is to first jot down anything that I love about the season. Or what memories or smells come with the upcoming months. From there I create a more organized list of what I want to bring into my home, or not bring into my home to accomplish the feeling I want for the next season.

To hopefully help get you brainstorming I thought I would share my lists with you here.

B r a i n  S t o r m  L i s t

• Brisk air
• Hot drinks
• Pumpkin cookies
• Blankets and cuddling
• Fire crackling

I n t e n t i o n a l  L i s t

• Breathe in fresh air for at least 30 minutes a day. By either going on a walk, or opening up some of my windows.
• Bedtime 9:30 PM, Wake up 5:30 PM
• Snuggle with my kids every chance I can get on the couch in blankets
• Create a holiday playlist for the season
• Bake bread weekly
• Decorate with what I have, as well as from nature
• Pull out warmer and deeper toned decor
• Lots of texture
• Read my scriptures by the fire or candle light every morning while it’s still dark
• Find an herbal tea flavor to love
• Enjoy the holiday food but make smart decisions about what is in our food

 

Hopefully this gave you a little glimpse into what you could do in your home with your family over the next few months to make your home feel exactly how you want it too. I truly believe that by taking a step back, being present with yourself, and making a plan of intention- it makes all the difference.
