FRIDAY: DIY-Wedding decor
Pinecone Poms for Winter Weddings
Supplies
- White styrofoam balls
- Artificial pinecones
- Ribbon for hanging
- Glue gun
- Floral pin
- Scissors
Step 1: Prep Your Pine
We found these artificial pine cones at our local craft store, and chose of mix of sparkly, plain and frosted styles to give the pom some dimension. Heat up your glue gun. Cut your pine cones down so there’s only 1-2 inches of stem left.
Step 2: Glue and Stick
Like arranging a bouquet, work your way around the ball to push the pinecones in by their stems. Remember, it’s okay if the white of the ball shows through (like ours). Since it’s white, it’ll look like snow! To ensure the cones stay in place, dab each stem with hot glue before you push it into the styrofoam. Don’t forget to leave a small space for your hanging ribbon.
Step 3: Hang and Admire
Cut a piece of ribbon to the hanging length you desire. Fold the ends so you have a base to glue it to the styrofoam. Glue in place, and put your floral pin in for extra hanging strength. Then, fill the rest of your ball with remaining pinecones. Let everything set overnight before hanging.
Create as many of these, in as many sizes, to create a chic winter atmosphere. Then, hang on chair backs, shepherds hooks or wherever you see fit!

Thursday: Travel/ Australia-Surfers Paradise
Surfers Paradise is a suburb within the local government area of City of Gold Coast in Queensland,
The best things to do on the Gold Coast with kids
1. MOUNT TAMBORINE
More country than coast, a drive to this mountain village is a great day outing for families. You have your choice of hinterland hikes here, from the all-abilities-access Cedar Creek Falls track to the more advanced Witches Falls and Sandy Creek Circuits.
But, if you’re looking for less scenery and more shopping, hit the village where you’ll find antiques, artwork, cafes and boutique shopping amongst other offerings.
2. TALLEBUDGERA CREEK
This is the quintessential calm water spot on the Gold Coast. Although Tallebudgera Creekfeeds out to the Coral Sea, the clear blue water of the creek is calm and inviting – perfect for small children to splash around to their heart’s content.
With a small beach and lots of shade, you can swim, SUP, kayak, picnic and more in this little paradise. You can access the other shore of Tallebudgera Creek from the Burleigh Heads National Park for even more privacy from other creek-goers.
3. BURLEIGH HEADS NATIONAL PARK
