There’s something so magical about the holidays, especially when you have a little one. For me, this year feels extra special because my toddler daughter is starting to notice all the little things that make this season so wonderful—the twinkling lights, the smell of baking cookies, and the ornaments on the tree.
Growing up, my family had a tradition that I always cherished: every year, we’d pick out one new ornament to add to the tree. It was a small thing, but over time, our tree became a beautiful tapestry of memories—each ornament tied to a moment, a milestone, or just a feeling. I knew, when I became a mother, that I wanted to continue that tradition with my own family.
But this year, instead of picking an ornament off a store shelf, I decided to start something new. I wanted to create something with my hands, something that would hold a piece of our story. And that’s how these handmade Christmas ornaments came to life.
Creating Something Special Together
Making these ornaments is kind of like baking holiday cookies, a simple, joyful process that I can’t wait to share with my daughter as she grows. Right now, she loves watching me work—her little hands reaching out to touch the clay, her eyes wide with curiosity as the shapes take form.
Each ornament is a chance to freeze a moment in time. I made them simple, classic shapes—stars, circles, and teardrops—because I wanted them to be timeless, just like the tradition we’re starting together. And just like our yearly ritual of picking an ornament, I hope these handmade ones become something we look forward to adding to our tree every year.
A Tradition for Every Family
I wanted to share this story with you because I know how powerful traditions can be. Whether you’re starting your own family traditions or continuing ones passed down through generations, these little rituals have a way of connecting us, of giving us something to look back on.
That’s why I decided to offer these ornaments as customizable pieces. I wanted other families to have the chance to make them their own—to add a name, a date, or even a special message. It’s like giving a piece of your family history to the tree each year.
Whether you're celebrating your child’s first Christmas or marking another holiday season full of love and laughter, these ornaments are made to hold those memories. They're simple, but they’re meant to grow with you—becoming a part of your family’s holiday story, year after year.
Join Me in This New Tradition
This year, I’ll be hanging our first handmade ornament on the tree, and I know it’s something I’ll cherish forever. I hope you’ll join me in starting your own family tradition with one of these customizable ornaments.
Whether you want to personalize it with a name, a year, or a special phrase, I’ll be taking pre-sale orders so you can create something that feels truly yours.
After all, it’s the little things we do every year—like hanging that special ornament—that make the holidays feel magical. I can’t wait to see how you make these a part of your own holiday celebrations.
