Any moms who say they don’t do this are liars 😂

Aidan absolutely loves putting Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree 🎄 and while I love watching him experience all the ✨Christmas magic✨ the thought of looking at my Christmas tree with all the decorations clumped into one spot at the bottom of the tree is ✨not so magical✨ to me.

I foresee a lot of rearranging after my little elf has finished throughout this holiday season 😂

Any other moms guilty of doing this? 🙋‍♀️

The irony is I filmed this before Halloween 😂

I absolutely LOVE a garden centre, but especially during the holidays! They always have the best displays of Christmas trees, Christmas decorations and lights (and usually awesome cafes 🙌🏻).

The few near us even have a Santa’s Grotto set up for the kids to visit Santa and one even went as far as to have real reindeer last year 🥹

I can count on one hand how many times I’ve visited a garden centre and actually went for gardening-related things. It’s pretty much just always Christmas stuff 😅

Though the one thing I don’t love is the toy section. Every time I think we can avoid it I’m wrong, and we normally leave after a meltdown 🫠 #happyholidays

Mamas, get yourselves one of these 🤩

ad With two little ones, our kitchen has become the busiest room in the house — messy mealtimes, impromptu dance parties, etc. That’s why we love our @totterandtumble mats. They give the boys a soft, safe spot to play while I’m cooking or cleaning up (and save my poor feet at the same time 😂)

These mats not only look beautiful in our home but are also a dream to clean, super comfy and versatile to use from play dates to workouts (which I can count on one hand how many I’ve done the last year 🫣).

Also perfect timing because this mat from the new @totterandtumble x Morris & Co. collection will look amazing paired with my Christmas decorations 😍🎄.

With the holidays coming up, these are the perfect gift for moms!

Check on your “boy mom” friends 😂

Can confirm that being a boy mom is the most physically exhausting thing I’ve ever done 😅 Every day is pure chaos, and I’m constantly telling someone “let go of your brother!” or “don’t lick that!” 🙃

Raise your hand if you can relate 🙋‍♀️ and follow along 🫶🏻
