I wanted to take a moment to send love and good wishes your way. This time of year reminds us to slow down and cherish the beauty of simple moments—whether it’s the twinkle of lights, the laughter of loved ones, or the comfort of traditions that bring us together.

Our Christmas celebration was a special one, and I’ll share more about it soon. For now, my family has just left, and the house feels quiet again. There’s a lot to think about, and it’s time to settle back into our routines. Life moves on, but I love pausing to reflect, both on the good days and the challenging ones. After all, that’s why I keep this blog—to capture life as it is, with all its ups and downs.
I hope your holiday season is bringing you joy, peace, and moments to treasure. Here’s to creating memories, finding calm, and holding onto what matters most.
Merry Christmas!
Ilze

You recall how you were lamenting the unfinished walls, and house when your family came to celebrate Christmas with you? Well, I looked at your images and saw on your unfinished walls a pattern of snow falling with those white dots and lovely strips. I still see snow falling on your Christmas tree in this image. ☺️🎄
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

What a beautiful way to see it—thank you for sharing such a lovely perspective! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but now I can’t unsee the snow falling on our Christmas tree. It’s such a comforting thought. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, joy, and magical moments! ☺️🎄
