Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May 2020 be our best year yet, full of good health, happiness, and success.
It’s sad to see how every year, fewer magazines are showing Christmas decorated homes. I understand they want to be politically correct and be respectful of other religions however I think that everyone can enjoy the pretty decor and the festive side of Christmas whether or not one believes in it. These images were published back in 2014 and it’s amazing how relevant they still look today.
The home was decorated by Bronson van Wyck for Christmas and it’s opulent but somewhat approachable.? Beautiful magnolia garlands frame the impressive metal staircase and doorways, while my favorite part of this house is the library fireplace mantel which was draped in cedar branches interlaced with custom-made paper fans.
Ah to be a kid again… and have fun parents who gift us the cutest toys, chicest clothes, and most memorable experiences. To say that kids are more than ever fortunate is an understatement. As parents, we are more informed about the things that can make a difference in our child’s life, more so than previous generations. On the other hand, nothing makes a parent happier than being able to provide those aforementioned things to their children. Granted we can give them a $700 giant teddy bear or a $59 backpack, there is no better satisfaction than the joy of our children when they are happy. In this Kid’s Gift Guide you’ll find happy and exciting gifts for all the kiddos in your life.
If I were a child, I would definitely love a Toddler rattan bow chair. Teach your children the beauty of classic with this Classic Pedal Car. Oversized Teddy Bear. Mini Sailor Backpack in red.
We can all easily have hundreds of things to choose from to be grateful for. Just that fact makes this day and every day even more worthy. I for all and for most am grateful for my family, especially my healthy good-hearted son, my supporting and loving husband, my angel mother, and my devoted sister. I’m also very grateful for my friends because without them life would be very boring and discouraging. As a reminder of a few of those things to be grateful for, here are five.
