A Very THRIFTY Christmas!

[@MeaganPollard-pj7ng]

I love how transparent and real life you have been in these last few videos. While your home is aesthetically pleasing to the eye in most of your videos and it’s a beautiful home, it has been much appreciated that you have shown recently that you too are human and not everything is always perfect. I love your channel so very much. Merry Christmas!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! I always want to keep things as real as possible haha ❤

[@odemonet]

You are such an amazing mom. Four beautiful boys and a fantastic husband. Always love watching your videos ❤

[@lindasmith5190]

This was the most fun tour ever! I love the gingerbread houses garland...so cute.

[@kimmcmahon9682]

You are the best. You and Mike are great parents. Your kids are very lucky to grow up like this. It really makes a difference. I so miss those days , it seemed pretty hard when we were doing it and I so thought I missed out staying home with my kids. But no. It was the best decision ever

[@PineandProspectHome]

You are so kind, thank you! I’m trying to soak it all in 😊

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

Andrea! I love how calm and relaxing your main rooms look and then you take us to the basement where you and your family have pulled out all the stops and turned it into a Kid's Christmas Extravaganza! So good for children to have a space where they can just live it up kid style! Just so well done, Andrea! Thank you so much for your thoughtful approach to preparing your home and how you arrange your videos to be pleasing to your viewers!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words ❤

[@monicameehan4473]

Andrea, l love how you incorporated cedar cuttings with garland.. your sweater is so cute. You are so creative.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Whew! That’s a lot of trees to decorate (and take down). It’s so magical. I really love the garland in your bedroom.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! Yes, I have so many trees but I love it 😂

[@TheRayjane]

Andrea I have to say your videos just make me so happy! I love watching you create and your style is just exactly what I love! Your bedroom is so cozy and storybook English cottage. I really like the arched door you have on your home. I remember a few years ago you told us about the trees you have from Amazon. I bought one and love it…it’s so realistic looking. The playroom for your boys is adorable. How precious to have their fingerprints on the ornaments, you have inspired me to try and make some ornaments. Your boys are so precious, hold on to these moments they grow so fast! I wish you and your family a very blessed Christmas. HE is the light of the world 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@PineandProspectHome]

I’m so glad you love the tree!! Thanks for your kind words ❤

[@robinely-nh1qt]

I love that garland so cute I like how you have finally let your hair down and are living your real life in your videos lately a lot more personality Great family time your cute boys are getting so big

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@janspeed2071]

You are a real trooper decorating your outside in the rain and cold...... turned out really good. So did the basement!!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SheilaCainSample]

Your front porch looks amazing ❤ well done. Braving the cold is all part of the joy! I love that you have decorated the playroom for your boys. You are doing a fabulous job. Blessings.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@marciaschatz1221]

I love the gingerbread garland, and the handprint Santas are adorable!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! ❤

[@micheleandrews4779]

So happy to see your kiddos play space!! Very cool! Boys thrive when they can play and construct and make messes😊Long ago I realized that I had to let go of other people’s expectations. Our home is a creative space not a museum. So there is always evidence of work/play going on at all times. But that’s where the memories are made. Great job!! I love that you and hubby have provided them a space for just being boys!!🎉🎉😊

[@nancygold2928]

Beautiful, beautiful Santa ornaments, made by the children, I love the ornaments. Very nice video, 😊📸

[@lesliepowell6471]

So charming! You and your husband make it look so simple! Love it all!

[@Melody-285]

“I’m already in it, man” - LOL - first video of the year that has reminded me of how grateful I am to live in Florida 😂 Most of us are really wimpy -we’re freezing when it’s 60 ! Merry Christmas to all !

[@lisamason3299]

What a great idea that outside garland trick is! It looks so lush and beautiful! Genius!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@carolsmall3462]

Everything looks great and so fun for the boys. Love your idea of putting parts of the pine tree in with the fake garland. It really looks so real.

[@myrafalkenstein5187]

Love love the boy’s handprint Santas’ ❤❤❤ How precious!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! 😊

I just loved this video, and I loved that you showed some of the real-life stuff with the weather, basement cleanup, and homeschool wrap-up! Always love your chanel, Andrea, and find so much inspiration! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@smahoney3567]

I just love how you show us your reality...thanks for being so real love and health to you and your beautiful family. Merry Christmas

[@suefarmer1440]

Everything looks so cute!! When my grandsons were little we did popcorn in ornaments and they loved it!! Get some of those clear ornaments, put 4 or 5 kernels of corn in them and put them in the microwave. I think it's for a minute or so and they pop in the ornament!! They wrote their names and whatever on the outside of the ornament and I still have them with the popcorn in them on my tree. My grandsons are 23 and 19 now! Cherish this time with your sweet boys. Merry Christmas!! xoxo

[@maryoleary2037]

What a great idea to have the popcorn ornaments. I'm going to give it a try with my grandkids.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh wow! Love that! ❤

[@connieclay5527]

I'm just loving all the ways you are showing your home all decorated for Christmas! Such timeless and peaceful looks! Your boys' play room space is so nice! I would have loved having that extra space when my kids were young! Blessings to you and your family this Christmas!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! 😊

[@maria.p7642]

Basement is my favorite. We decorate a kids tree as well, we get 1 new ornament that represents each child. It's our memory tree and it's magical seeing how much they've grown

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh I love that!! ❤

[@bobs3501]

Andrea, your bedroom is beautiful! Your whole home looks beautiful for Christmas! We have had a kitchen aid for years and it still works perfectly! I think it’s a great investment for any home! Love all the garland! It’s so cute watching your kids clean up and decorate! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! You too! ❤

[@cindypoling5922]

Your home is beautiful. The gingerbread garland is so sweet.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! 🤗

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Andrea and family, you have such a beautiful and warm home. The basement is such a fun place for the family to "let loose" with the Christmas decorations. Yet, it was so stylish in its own way for the boys. Hugs to the family for such a great space.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@dawnbell681]

Everything looks so cozy and festive. I love it all! What a beautiful family God has blessed you with!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family😇❤️

Just found your site; so fun to watch you being slightly unsure of what you're doing; laughing at yourself yet it all comes together beautifully, in the rain no less, ha! BTW: your makeup is just right; pretty. You're genuine...

[@pampayne9033]

Great idea using the artificial garland to hold the cedar stems. The Christmas decor in the playroom is adorable and brings back lots of memories of when my 40 and 35 year old sons were little. Your sons are so sweet . ❤️🎄❤️

[@kaymendenhall786]

Beautiful as always.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! ❤

[@evasharp2705]

Your are the best so beautiful you make me remember when I lived and used nature to my decor beautiful

[@shirleydunn8050]

Your home looks so beautiful & festive Andrea. I love how you have thrifted & home made items . I adore Norman Rockwell paintings and have 2 books of them but that cover is fantastic. ( I have a postcard on my notice board of the same image. 11 years ago all his paintings came over here to an exhibition in London. It was the first time they had been out of the US. So magical to see.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! That is so cool! Love Norman Rockwell!

[@marilynbruckman3610]

The decor is beautiful! You gave me a good idea for some garlands I have that are old and shed quite a bit. I have plenty of cedar and pine so could easily replicate your idea for my outside spaces. The boys are precious and loved seeing their ornaments.

[@PineandProspectHome]

So happy I could help!! 😊

[@sarahfrancescutti9873]

I'm loving your cedar garland trick! What a fabulous way to create such a fresh, real and full look! You've inspired me to try this too one day!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@michelebaldwin1942]

Good grief girl! Your hair still looks good even after being under a hood AND being in the rain! The outside was so charming, tho. I think my favorite part really was how your whole family chipped in (cheerfully it seemed) to get everything ready for us downstairs. I love that space and I’m a real fan of all the books!! Thanks so much for sharing your home ❤. It is absolutely beautiful. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@deedeeschwab2512]

Such a fun video with so much inspiration for Home Depot Gifts and you are such a Trooper to be decorating your front porch in the cold rain! Wow! The basement looks so whimsical and cozy for your precious family! Enjoy a Blessed Holiday Season with all of your Sweet Boys! 😊❤ 🎄

Great video! Bless your heart, all your hard work outside paid off! You had great helpers in the basement and love the hand print ornaments. ❤

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@MsKatillac]

Love the Santa ornaments your boys made and the gingerbread house garland! They did an awesome job! I love your style, I too like a neutral color palette. There is something calming, relaxing about it. Your basement turned out to be fun and festive. I prefer white lights too but can appreciate colored ones as well. Great idea adding the real cedar to the fake pine garland outside. It really fluffed up the fake garland. Love the tan/white ribbon you used to decorate with on the exterior. Your house looks magical! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@loismanzi2442]

Everything looks so cozy and warm and filled with love. I was laughing seeing you out in the wind and rain decorating because I did the very same thing last week in our bad weather. It was freezing out and I was foraging greens . I also thanked fake wreaths and garland and add real greens and no one can tell the difference! Great way to save money and looks great! You have such a beautiful family and such blessed friends ! A mixer for a Christmas gift for a friend ? Wow what a kind generous friend you are and that mirror for your sister was so beautiful I bet she loved it very generous. Hope you have a beautiful blessed day you’ve blessed mine🙏🕊💕🎄🦌
