Holiday decorating need not be an over-the-top, electric-grid-destroying extravaganza that melts the eyeballs of anyone who gazes at the display too long.

Instead, Jaimi Erickson wants to power down festivities to where they are fun without breaking budgets.

The founder of The Stay-at-Home Mom Survival Guide coaches from a playbook of calm and reason. Specifically, Erickson guides women to find balance at home and how to be intentional with their quality time.

“There are so many ways to save money and make your home look great for the holidays,” she said.

Erickson joined financial experts at consumer credit reporting company, Experian, to tie a ribbon on decorating for the holidays on a budget. They covered affordable do-it-yourself ideas and clever hacks.
