    Our 19 year old granddaughter was killed in an accident in May and I just couldn’t even make myself begin to think about decorating for Christmas (I go all out also) but after watching your video I started to feel a little twinge of excitement. Thank you!

      Do what you can ..we buried a daughter one week before her HS graduation in 1997. Have buried two grandsons one born at 20wks and his half brother from SIDS in 2020. It is a process and one whete you have to almost demand of yourself to keep going. Much love stay strong...from central Nebraska...❤

    Your mom decorated on a bow reminded me last Christmas when I went to my moms grave and decorated it for Xmas - I hung ornaments on a nearby tree, I sprinkled some new years confetti, and I put a wreath. Just like she’d want. So sad , but we are just doing what fills our heart for them. ❤

    Awe... Lauren I love that you have your mom present while you are decorating your trees. I lost my mom in 2013 and still miss her, especially during the holidays. I put her on the piano in our entry (she's usually on my nightstand) surrounded by holloween decor. When my sons asked why, I said because Nana always enjoyed being right in the middle of all the fun and action.
    Sending you big hug🤗

    I agree with you about 5 inch ribbon prices, it is ridiculous!🙄
    Henry is beautiful!❤ Pepe is beautiful, too! So cute!🥰 I lost my MaMa going on 8 years ago, and I miss her so much! I pray for piece, comfort, and positivity for you, my friend!🙏❤️ I have a great husband, too! That's so so awesome and special that you & your husband balance each other! My husband is the same!❤

    I’ve watched your videos for so many years, and now you cleaning your house is like me cleaning mine. Lol.
    Your calming voiceover sharing part of your sentiment is such a gift to us who enjoy these videos. We all can relate to missing people at this time, and makes it the more special to remember them on our home, our merriment and our thoughts. Having these little moments in your rooms really make you feel like they’re with you every step of the way.

I get all excited for the Christmas and I don't have near as much stuff to do as you do as it's only me and my husband. I have downsized over the year as nieces nephews. Great! Nieces and nephews have moved on with their own families so now you know we go to their homes which is okay with me. Looking forward to the rest of your holiday decorating. Lorna❤

    Hey girl! I’ve been a professional tree decorator for 10 years and you’ve got all
    the tricks! A simple bow method is folding wired ribbon like an accordion, pinch in the middle, then secure with long floral wire or pipe cleaners. Fan out the loops and you can cut a V with the tails, and attach to the tree with the long ends of wire. Takes about 30 seconds, and can be made to whatever size you want. We flatten them out to store and re-use them. Ribbon is the best bang for your buck and takes the least amount of storage space.😂

Your new home is truly fabulous, but the Victorian fit into my childhood fantasy of where I wanted. In reality, at my ages,all of those stairs would have done me in by now!! I can hardly stand to what you are going to do with your gigantic bookcase. I know that it will be perfect!

    The trees turned out beautiful. We moved in 2021 into our home and I started with almost nothing so over the years I’ve given myself a small budget each year. My collection is slowly growing. I’m so grateful you showed us how to do the ribbons because I am new to that. I think at the end of season I will see what kind of ribbon goes on sale and probably pick up for next season. Love watching your channel and all your home making videos. And I love how you always keep your mom around. I know I will be the same way with mine. Sending you a warm hug.
