Still debating whether or not a tree will go up at my house. It is artificial, with lights, so maybe I'll start with just the tree...
We put our tree up last year when Izzy was about that age and she didn't bother the tree at all. Again, it was the tree skirt that she fixated on, although we did make sure to hang breakables up high and tightly secure any hooks. We also kept a spray bottle of water handy to squirt her if she did mess with the tree itself.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
