I did have to poke him though, just to make sure.. We do plan to replace all the doors in this room eventually, but for now, why not have some fun and do something a little different?
Going to the farm to cut down all those trees just wouldn’t be convenient, so having a few artificial trees for the bedrooms makes total sense.. Balsam Hill agreed to try to rush a tree to me within a week so I could get it up and make a little video for them with plenty of time before baby Jack would be born.Unfortunately, the customs people at the border had other plans and I actually only ended up getting the tree about 6 weeks later, which was a couple of days ago.

I still want to show you the tree all decorated up, so I’m doing a quick blog post on the tree instead..So first we had to put the tree together, of course..It came in three separate sections, all wrapped up.

I love that there was even a storage bag provided for the tree.. All we had to do was stick the three sections together and it was good to go.The tree’s pre-lit and even those lighting connections went together automatically when the tree was assembled..

Here it is in the middle of the room.. You can see it looked pretty great like that already, but we fluffed the branches up a little first before decorating it.
One of my favorite features of the tree was the extra long cord that came with it.Here’s how to make the mushrooms taste like they’re from a steakhouse restaurant.
You’ll be adding them to your shopping list every week once you taste these!.Start out with any kind of mushroom you like.
I used basic white mushrooms.Success in mushroom making is all in the technique, so expensive ingredients aren’t required, just make sure your mushrooms are nice and fresh.. Once you’ve chosen your mushrooms, you’ll need to clean them.
