All of the previously stated things are so on point with so many of us today. I also love dawnie's idea on showing the real side of everyone's life in the moment. I have a question for AT readers. Everyone wants there home to be a welcoming place for guest, but how do you handle it when guest & their kids completely disrespect your home and the things you've worked hard to acquire ? I don't have that my home is a shrine mentality. I'm talking common sense and courtesy .

Stick to immediate family only. Huge crowd was very nice but would have liked more one on one time with my kids and husband. Too busy hosting.


Holiday Resolutions: Next Year, I'm Going to _______.

My kids are grown now, but I still remember getting up with my husband going out for the most wanted and hard to find toy of the season. Then coming home and pulling out all the containers from Thanksgiving. Hiding our stash and going over our list. Forgetting the crowds and the mad rush this was our thing for years. Online shopping is great but those days were the best.


Do You Have Any Black Friday Traditions?
11/16/11 8:20 AM

My nightly routine is to see that my neice I'm raising is all tucked in with her things packed and readied for the next day. Making sure that the my kitchen is put to sleep neatly. Hate, hate, hate waking up to a messy kitchen. after I prepare my things for the next day and take a long hot bath, turn on Everybody loves Raymond for my last laugh of the night I then consider myself out for the count.


Do You Have a Bedtime Routine?

Katie I'm loving this bedding also. Is anyone out there familiar with this kind of bedding? Is it really hot? Would love to learn more about this style.

I love to decorate with each season. It brings a sense of excitement inside. It's also like yourself help my kids (now that their grown) carry this into their adult lives. It's so weird to see them now worrying about xmas lights and carving pumpkins. Trying to find the adequate bowl for giving out Halloween candy.
Worrying about the right wreaths on the doors. I think this says a lot about you and the space you call home.

This is such a beautiful and important post. It makes you thankful and appreciative at the same time. For some people who salivate through all the interior home shows and magazines and stress to attain what is not the everyday norm. This article lets you know you can have what is your idea of a quaint and beautiful lfull of love home.

As the owner of one such kitchen. I dare to say that this is the most functionally designed kitchen in the world. I love my galley kitchen.
When I see these beautiful huge kitchens I think"what in the heck are they storing in all those cabinets and how it must be a pain the the a** to keep clean". When done right galley kitchens rule.

The house overall is quite beautiful. The veiws are amazing. However the fireplace seems like it doesn't quite fit. I think you should have gone a little wider with the bricks and a bigger fire box would have looked great framed out in in a metal finish instead of the black.

I mean this in a good way when I say "this house makes me think someone opened up a pack of skittles and just threw all over and they just landed where ever and on what ever".
BUT IT WORKED OUT SO WELL, FUN FUN FUN!

I so agree with this piece. This is the best time of each day for me also. These moments give me time to reflect, appreciate and reminiscence. There's nothing better.

Houses are just buildings, until you start to build memories with your love ones. As an middle aged woman I thank god every day for my memories. I 've tried over the last thirty years to build traditions and memories for my girls. There's nothing better when you get a certain age because at some point that's all you have left of your dearly departed ones and of the things you can no longer do. So everyone continue to build on or start your own new memories.

Jennifer's design business must be very lucrative. I can see some very expensive pieces in her home. None the less her home is lovely. I really love the painting of the children. It's such a warm and enveloping piece of art. Jennifer, can you please name the artist. The colors are so soft. I'm dying to find something like this.

After evacuating for Katrina and becoming a renter for a while. I will never again live where the comings and goings aren't monitored in some form. (i.e. guard or scan system or password controlled).

Cudos to the men. Taste is not gender specific. I know quite a few men I would love to do some shopping or decorating with. Sadly my poor husband was not blessed with that talent. He always gives it a good try, even though he's wrong. (lol)
