It makes all the difference and has made any rug we’ve used, even basic cheapo ones, feel soft and comfortable.. We employed the same strategy in this mudroom as what we currently have in the living room and it’s just right: Custom Rug Pad + Washable Rug = Perfection.

March was such a super simple month as far as Christmas preparations went, which suited me just fine.Here’s how I did with our three tasks from last month.. Buy Stamps.

I picked up a couple of packs of stamps when I was dropping off a return at the post office one day.Easy-peasy.. Buy 2 Packs of Thank You Cards.For this one, I ended up just organizing the cards I already had.

When I went to see what I might need, I realized that I already had quite a few and they just needed to be organized a bit so that I could actually find just the right one when it came time to use them.. Buy Slippers.I just picked up a couple of fluffy pairs that will work for multiple people later on down the line.

What to do in April to Prepare for Next Christmas.

As I said, I think this is a pretty great month for moving us ahead.I think I was suffering from a little bit of a lack of inspiration this time around, but as soon as I saw other front porches in our town starting to look all cheerful and Christmassy, my motivation definitely came back.

As far as finding inspiration goes, I really just needed to take a quick walk around our property and I really found all the inspiration that I needed!I love how it all came together.

With any further dilly-dallying, here’s our Christmas front porch 2020!.Simple and Nature-Inspired Front Porch Decor.
