Christmas Tree Parent Hack
I’m not the most creative person, as in I have trouble thinking outside of the box. I’m stubborn. But as anyone will tell you, when you have kids, you learn to be less stubborn. You learn to bend a bit. And so when we put up the Christmas tree and Logan immediately picked up one of the glass balls and threw it to the ground saying “ball, throw!”, I figured this was going to be one bare tree. We put a few special balls and ornaments near the top. And then I remembered that I have a bag of ribbon collected over the years, mainly from Dusty’s mom’s gifts to me. She always does the prettiest wrapping with all these big, beautiful bows. And I knew they’d come in handy some day. Saturday was that some day! My very own first parent hack: when you have toddlers who don’t understand to stay away from the Christmas balls, use pretty ribbon to add color to your tree. A much better solution then putting up the big ugly gate we used last year.
