Absolutely love the garland and horns on the mirror!! All the decor made me smile. There's nothing like bread baking on a rainy day that says "home filled comfort and love" in a better way!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Debi, it was a very relaxing day.🥰😋

[@bleugaze]

This was heartwarming. I remembered cleaning and decorating the house with my mom for the holidays. She has similar taste to yours, She used to make a town with little houses, bottle brush trees and fake snow, and she'd stick christmas lights into the houses so they'd illuminate when turned on.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Jessica, that sounds so beautiful. Sweet memory.🥰✨

[@jeanieturner5183]

I love how you allow your girls to do their style of decorating. I have my granddaughter come and decorate my tree she has been doing it since she was only able to do the bottom branches. I feel it is so important to let them be creative.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Jeanie, they have a good eye for decor and they love to decorate.🥰✨🎄

[@janjentz1053]

Your girls are so beautiful. Wonderful that they are enjoying the decorating with you. Yay... your sourdough bread turned out just beautiful. I learned to make sourdough about a year ago. Now make a loaf once a week for my husband and myself. I am a bit late getting to this video; we had the flu bug at out house. Glad your daughter is better.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Jan, thank you.🥰

[@lisastegall944]

Oh Sarah, Vivian and Violet ~ such a wonderful job on this room 🌲❤️🌲 I adore the big mirror with the garland and horns, the bench in front and the GOOSE in red ! You girls did a beautiful job with the Village ! That whole area is my favorite ! How pretty is the sprig of pine with the bell wreath on them on the bookshelves! Love, love, love it all! The pillows in the chairs ! Everything…. Just perfect ! Hugs from a snowy New York State ❄️❄️❄️ 🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲

[@dawnbowers3828]

This was a very nice video. I cannot get myself to decorate before thanksgiving but this was fun to watch. Making bread, especially during the holidays, is so old fashioned. We make Christmas Stollen bread (recipe from my mother-in-law) every year. I started making this with my husband and his mother when we were dating. I never had that bread before meeting my husband but now it doesn’t feel like Christmas unless we have made the Stollen!! The kids have helped make the bread in years past hoping they will keep up the tradition when they get older!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Dawn, the Stollen sounds Delish!😋👏🏻

[@janmoore6340]

I totally feel your genuine love by your honest sharing of your blessed family and home. Am 66 yrs old with 86 yr old mother that struggles with movement these days. This reminds me of sooo many years of happy memories with my Mom and then with my treasured daughter. I don't get enough chances to love on cherub grandbabies as I'd like. (900 miles apart....me at northern tip of state.....them at bottom border) I know you cherish these days with your family....it shows. Thanks for sharing! Love from Texas❤

The room looks lovely. It was fun watching the girls playing in the mirror and decorating! Are you putting up a tree later? I'm sorry if you already said and I missed it. Did you see Robin Johnson's YT video of paper angels? Those would be pretty on a tree. The girls could make alot! If you check her out, I think you'll like her style also. I especially love her Christmas Home tours. Lots of ironstone, deer, tureens, flowers& greens. Plus Christmas figures.

Are there any other goals for the girls other than being married and a homemaker? I am wondering if it is a cultural thing. Perhaps you are all part of a religious community that shares the belief that is what women and girls do but hoping they will have many and all choices offered to them. It is a big wide world.
