Not to sound like Oprah here but it truly is the ordinary things that make up for a big chunk of our happiness. Simple and daily rituals are the ones that make a difference in our lives. As I look forward to my morning espresso everyday… well I also look forward to my early afternoon one… I feel a sense of happiness and excitement. It may or may not have to do with the fact that where I come from, an Island called DR, coffee is used as a social activity instead of a source of energy. It’s not realistic to wish to enjoy every minute of our days because frankly who can be immune to the wrong things that affect us emotionally sometimes, but I think that learning to be grateful for the simple things it’s more than doable. It can start with comparing our life today to our life five years ago. Just recently I had a conversation with a very particular friend who was stacked repeating like a broken record that life doesn’t get better, until I asked him where were you five years ago? What was your economical situation five years ago? How was your family five years ago?… and so on. His response was, well now that you say that, we are much better today, that’s true…. I’m sure that is the situation of many other people. Life does get better every year in many ways and it helps to keep that in mind as often as we can. Here is to the better next year, wishing you and your family many ordinary daily moments to look forward to. From our Home to yours, Happy New Year!

We’ll be heading to Chicago soon to experience Christmas in the City for a few days. Yes, this is what we do when we live in Dublin, Ohio. We have spent Christmas eve in New York City almost every year, however this year the farthest we’ll go is Chicago. For now I just dream of next year when our new home will be ready for a Christmas decor overload.
Instagram has become more than a social platform where to share images and showcase our work, aesthetics or ourselves. For many, it can also be a very resourceful travel guide to find everything from best destinations to visit to hot and hip restaurants to explore. Instagram is more than a travel guide and besides the trolls that rely on low tactics of following to then unfollowing to gain follows back for a day, it’s still a fun social platform to be part of. So of course it’s uber magical to experience Christmas via Instagram with its endless source of virtual travel experiences on steroids. One minute you are outside Atlanta Holiday House and the other you are in the lobby of Claridge’s Hotel in London. For sure Instagram has its pros and cons, you may have heard about Selena Gomez erasing her Instagram app once she realized she had become the most followed person on the social platform, “As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out,… It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to.” Selena Gomez told vogue. Now that. Is not healthy. There are a lot of sad stories out there about people who accidentally died while taking a risky selfies, others go as far as almost getting naked for a few more followers. Is that really necessary…? I prefer to take things as they are… a simple social platform that can provide great source of inspiration. There are other things in life that are far more important… like family, health, food on the table, friends, and most importantly enjoying our surroundings. As I’ve been saying for years our surroundings influence our deepest being.
Christmas Decor is found more at home in a country rustic setting… There is something so warming and soothing when the patina of a rustic decor is combined with the natural elements found in Christmas decoration. It’s a perfect match, isn’t it…? In the first image for instance, the Christmas teardrop swag appears to have been born out of the patinated door. Whether you live in the woods or you just happen to enjoy a rustic decor, here are these living rooms with country Christmas decorating ideas to inspire.
