Beautiful Wreaths!

I love wreaths, they welcome you into a home, decorate the front door, add interest to a wall and so on… What I love about them is that they can be made quite easily using evergreen, flowers, fruits, shells, ornaments.   Here are some amazingly beautiful wreaths I would love to find on my front door!

I love these beautiful wreaths, such great ideas.  I know I am a bit late with the wreath inspirations, that is how late I am with everything lately!  So much to do and so little time.  

I hope you liked some of these wreaths and maybe you can use some of these ideas for next year.

Thanks to Huuricane Sandy,  I have to redo my entire house.  I have to replace most of my furniture in on my first floor.  I tried to salvage a few of the antique pieces I had that could never be replaced.   Although, I found these beautiful furniture pieces here I would love for them to find it's way into my home.

What do you think? Aren't they gorgeous? It is eclectic, that's me because I like everything! 

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Nick Cannon's visit to our school

Nick Cannon came to bring a little joy to our children who had to deal with the experience of hurricane Sandy.  My daughter and nephew came running home with gifts in hand and excitment in their hearts.  My daughter was so excited she hugged Nick Cannon, she doesn't want her uniform to be washed ever again! Because, if washed it will wash away the hug. hmm… 

I must confess, I didn't know who he was when she was shouting out his name.  Sorry Nick, I am not very up on the entertainment industry.  So, I immediately googled him.  He is an actor, comedian rapper and a radio/television personality. He has hosted number of shows including America's Got Talent.  He is also married to Mariah Carey.  He seemed to have achieved so much at such a young age of 32.

  

He  have all the children in the school N-Tune headphones from Monster...

and an Ipod Nano

His presence in our school made the children so happy!  

Thank you Nick Cannon!

Pray for strength!

For the last month and a half, we have been dealing with (we thought) an unimagineable catastrophe with hurricane Sandy.  Losing our homes and our possessions were at the forefront of our thoughts everyday and how to get our possessions back.  

I would go through hurricane Sandy 10 times over, to not have the families in Newton go through the devastating lose of their sweet innocent little children and the lives of the adults in this horrific tragedy.  This lose can never be replaced.

Eventhough, life will never be the same for these families, the world is praying for them to gain strength to go on through these difficult times and always.

My sincerest, deepest condolences to the families…

God always be with you.

Sad, sad Friday!

Words cannot express my deepest sorrow and sadness for the families that were affected by this horrific massacre in Newton, Conneticut yesterday.  Why? Why innocent little children? How will these families go on? I am praying for those who lost their loved ones in this unimaginable tragedy.

I wish there was something I can do for these families… I can only pray for them.

Bring on the holidays!

We have been inundated with so much work after hurricane Sandy that Christmas has not taken precedence like it would normally.  We had to move out of our house so that we can repair the damages.  Being that we had about 10 feet of water from my basement to the first floor, all new electrical panel, water heater, boiler and mold removal had to be done for starters.  We also had to take out all the flooring on the first floor down to the beams.  Anything that the water had touched had to be removed.  But, we do have children and Christmas is still our favorite time of the year, celebrations must go on!  By the way, every single ornament and holiday decorations I own has been thrown out because it was stored in the basement.  I wish I had an attic!  Now, I have to start fresh and get all new decorations and of course we have to make them too…  That's my favorite thing to do!

We always get a real tree and usually it is around 11 feet tall, but this year we are going to go a bit smaller being that we don't have so many ornaments to fill it.  This past Sunday, we went to our favorite place to get our Christmas tree and they also have oodles of decorations. Great place to get inspirations!

      

Here is the tree we all agreed should come home with us...

Santa and his reindeer displays outside the store.

There is all kinds of decorations in every theme to get you into the spirit!

The candy decorations looked good enough to eat!

Have you ever seen an upside down tree?  I love the colors!

Beautiful outdoor decorations!

I can make this!  Since I don't have much time I bought one...

Gorgeous displays!

Do you like to make your own decorations or do you have a favorite place to buy them?

I hope to show you my decorated tree tomorrow, that's if my children get their homework done on time!

Happy Birthday Kyle!

Where does the time go?  It seems like yesterday I was rushing to the hospital because my contractions were unbearable and the baby just wanted to come out… Except, I had 2 1/2 months to go before the due date.   Kyle just couldn't wait any longer, 7 1/2 months was long enough for him, he was born 10 weeks early, at only 3 /12 lbs.  He was a miracle baby, he was tiny yet healthy, strong and no complications.  God Bless!

Happy Birthday my son Kyle!

So handsome!
