Amidst the ongoing fires and the devastation it’s caused in LA, we debated whether we should cancel this, but decided we needed this more than ever. So, we’re kicking off our 3rd annual #LarsValentineExchange!! ❤️❤️❤️

If you’d like to participate, here’s what to do:

1. Sign up on our form (link on stories!) by 5 pm on Thursday, January 16th.
2. On Tuesday, January 21st we will send you a name and address via email of one person to send a handmade Valentine to as well as a discount code for our Valentine shop
3. Send your valentine out by February 7th (domestic) or January 31st (international)

Now more than ever we all could use a little love and handmade magic. 💌 Tag your valentine prep and final creation (as well as what you receive!) with @houselarsbuilt & #LarsValentineExchange so we can all see it. I can’t wait to see what you make this year!

I love this community! Let’s share the love! ❤️❤️❤️ We’re looking into ways we can extend this to our friends in LA so if you know of anything, dm me!

Merry Christmas! I committed myself last night to

Merry Christmas! I committed myself last night to counting the hours it takes for making Christmas magic because this mama is exhausted! (Doesn’t help I got every sickness passed down from my two Petri dishes aka kids). It’s been a busy, chaotic time but also filled with wonderful, soul-filling moments. If there’s something I’ve learned in the last couple of years it’s that two things can exist at once—chaos and peace, bad with good, sad and happy. I hope you’ve been able to grab onto the good in the midst of life. Sending lots of love your way!

A few highlights from this season—outdoor hikes, Felix turned 4 and Santa visited his party, fun festive parties, Yo-Yo Ma concert, duets with my boy, finding our cards for @redcapcards at @anthropologie, visiting my home town of Dana Point, holiday dressing.

There’s nothing like racing against the clock to

There’s nothing like racing against the clock to get something done, huh?! Honestly, been wanting to make those tinsel Christmas tree topper hats since I saw that old image, but it took a dress code and a party to get it done. Would you ever wear one? Both of our dresses are from @ivycityco which were perfect for the event. #holidayswithlars #tinsel #larsmakes
