Late again....


We are finally getting around to some decorating at our house.  I am late again this year and it is so frustrating!  I have all year to prepare and tell myself that I will get everything up by Thanksgiving, but here I am late again!

Hope your holidays are off to a smooth start!

With a Heavy Heart

Considering the tragedy that unfolded in Connecticut, I didn't feel right blogging about beautiful homes, expensive evening gowns or decadent jewelry without a thought or mention of the lives that were forever changed in a instant yesterday morning.
 
As a mother myself, I cannot fathom the pain the families of those children must be going through and I cannot comprehend the amount of grief that must come from the loss of a child.  The educators that gave their lives to save and protect innocent children have become my new definition of Heroes.
 
I often wonder when tragedies like this happen if we ever truly take the time to stop and realize the blessings we all have.  As we all rush 100 miles an hour toward the holidays with last minute gifts, errands and parties, please take a quiet moment and reflect on your life and what's important.

Let the Countdown Begin....

As I was in Nordstrom on Saturday getting my daughter one last birthday gift, I suddenly heard the most glorious sound.....CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!
 
The deep, warm sound of Frank Sinatra singing Silent Night was dreamy, and in that one moment, I was utterly, hopelessly in the Christmas spirit.
 
 









 
Wishing you a wonderful Monday my friends!

Getaway

 
 
Its fall break for my children this week, and I'm so disappointed that I didn't plan anything this year.  It just seems that the days, weeks and months fly by so quickly! 
 
I have decided that I will plan a surprise trip for Christmas this year.  I want to go somewhere wintery and new...not the typical tropical getaway that we normally pick. 
 
I love this photo above...I can imagine wandering the streets of Lucerne, Switzerland with coffee in hand, so romantic!  Those swans are truly magical!
 
 
Hope your day is beautiful!

The Magic of Snow

I love many, many things...but snow could quite possibly be one of my most favorites.  There is just something about the stillness...how it muffles sounds and creates the most magical blanket of shimmery white.  I know some of you probably get too much, but here in the south...its never enough!

live well...

Gearing up





I simply cannot believe that the holidays are upon us...

I just finished our Thanksgiving menu, and I noticed that several of our neighbors have already begun to decorate for Christmas and while doing a little shopping this weekend, I couldn't help but notice that EVERYTHING had a bit of shine and sparkle...

Have a beautiful Monday!   live well...
