BH: What inspired you to start blogging?

Jen: I had three kids under the age of 5 at the time and I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to get out there. I had always wanted to write a decorating book. I am excited to say after 6 1/2 years of blogging, my book comes out next October!

BH: Do you have a signature ornament you use on your tree year after year?

Jen: I had boxes of Shiny-Brites I inherited from relatives and I love using those every year.

BH: What’s your favorite family holiday tradition?

Jen: We go to Christmas Eve service as a family. I love it because at the end of the service, the entire congregation gets up and sings ‘Silent Night’ around the manger. We go home and have a nice family dinner, and the kids can open one present each.

BH: What’s one of your fondest holiday memories?

Jen: Going to a big Polish family dinner on Christmas Eve at my aunt’s.

BH: When you decorate for the holidays, are there any guidelines you try to follow?
