I can’t remember where I hid my Elf on the Shelf. I didn’t want to put it w the Christmas decos in case my boys were helping me but I outsmarted myself and it’s no where to be found.
I don’t want to have to buy a new one.

We got our tree up tonight... DH insists on a real one and it is always sooooo much trouble. We spent $160 on the BASE for the tree to try to eliminate the problems we always seem to have with a base that wants to tip over (even if it is technically rated for the height of tree we buy) and/or we can't get the tree straight. Well we got it up without any major issues, got it decorated, sat to watch a little tv and then I look up and I swear it is tilting when it wasn't before. We get up to look at it and the darn thing starts to FALL. Luckily we had tied a rope around the middle and secured it in the window sash so that saved it from total disaster but we still spent another 20ish minutes trying to figure out what was wrong and making sure it doesn't fall again. The bolts in the base are screwing into the tree because the wood is so soft and we can't figure out how to fix it. We jammed 2x4 pieces of wood in the base to help support the trunk and then we tied another piece of rope around the top of the tree and secured that in the upper part of the window. I don't think anything is going to topple but I'm preparing myself for a loud crash in the middle of the night.
Does anyone else have that much trouble with real trees or do we just have bad luck? A fake tree would be sooooo much easier, no messy needles, no water, no tipping trees... It really makes me nervous for next year when we will have an 11 month old, even with a baby gate or something around it I would be nervous that she would pull it over on herself.

aprilz81 I love the smell of real trees but I hate the hassle and mess. We are a fake tree family. I'll just burn a balsam fir candle 😉

I feel like such crap. This cold is leaching all of my energy. My throat is killing me. Why, why do I get so sick when I'm pregnant 😭

So pretty sunfrogger! I'm so annoyed that I can't find my ring sling. I used it the most when DS was tiny but we have moved 2x so I don't know where it it is located.

Holy cow that’s a lot of hassle! We’ve always been real tree people. Even growing up. We have stand that was maybe $20? And our tree this year is about 7ft tall. I was worried it would be too short bc our ceilings are like 15+ feet where it is but there’s a tray for a pot light so it looks fine!
