Before I start today’s post, I’d like to start by taking a moment to talk about this unspeakable tragedy that happened this past Friday. Words can’t describe the incredible feeling of loss that goes even beyond sadness. It is truly one of the most humbling moments that I have experienced in my lifetime. When I view the faces of the little angels which were lost I can’t help but think that we can do better as a society. As unspeakable as this loss was, if we can somehow use their memory to create positive change in this world and within ourselves than I believe the loss of their lives will not have be in vain.
As parents, teachers and as humans, we need to be the voice of the children which were lost. We need to be their voice and not only talk about change but actually create change that betters our society, and that change starts with us, no matter how small.
We will not forget this. We, as parents, cannot forget this and simply “move on” with our lives. We will have to speak loudly enough until we’re heard and things are changed. These changes start within ourselves, with what we decide to do, with how we decide to help, with how we raise our own children and what they have access to and, most importantly, how we take all of this pain and transform it into something good.

With a week to go until Christmas, this will be our last Christmas Decorating Ideas post. I really enjoyed preparing this series during this special month and I hope to do it again next year. I believe we found not only beautiful and inspiring Christmas Decorating Ideas, but also doable ones. I think this is the best part when seeing something you love, knowing that it is possible to achieve at home.
Christmas is a very special time for me and I love everything that involves it. I love decorating my house, I love the smell of the scented candles and the food. Oh, I’m enjoying that a lot lately!!!
I hope you also can focus on the beauty of this season and feel inspired by today’s Christmas Decorating Ideas.

Wow! Those are some of the most beautiful images I have seen this season. Thank you so much for reminding us of some beauty in this world in the face of such ugliness. I miss ya girl! Hope you are well and have a wonderful holiday! xoxo
*** Luciane, these are just about T.H.E. prettiest, most charming and comfy photos ever~~~~ I don’t think there’s even ONE photo that didn’t capture my heart & mind in one way or the other… JUST CHARMING (& SOOOO MUCH “MY” PREFERRED STYLES!!!
Annnd, they’re presented & shared with us at a time when we’re ALL indescribably sad and down… it was just simply NICE to “escape reality”, even if just for a few minutes…
Thank you, my friend, and God Bless…

Luciane,
This is such a lovely post. As you may note, I am a little behind in all things Christmas this year.
I wish you and yours a lovely Christmas and a warm and love-filled New Year.
