    Lydia this is my first Christmas since my divorce this year, after 15 years of marriage. I still love my ex-husband so much, so this is a very difficult holiday. Your vlogs give me an escape from being sad, and give me hope that one day I might find love again.

      This made me feel very sad to read. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I have been where you are my dearest...and it WILL pass. Everyone says that and you always ask "when", but it will. It always does. Please take care of yourself. Snuggle every night with a great vlog, movie or book that makes you happy. But most importantly, instead of asking yourself "why is this happening to me?"...ask yourself this more profound question: "What is this trying to teach me?" It will help you start to change your thinking. Wishing you all the best, ElaineDi. XOXO

    Hi Lydia! Ever consider putting cut glass on the shelving units in you're closet after they are painted? It will preserve the paint job and stay clean thoughout the years with no chipping or need to repaint.

    We purchased the iRobot Roomba vac two years ago and they are game changers...loved it so much we purchased one for my elderly in-laws and they absolutely think it's the best invention since sliced bread. Great gift for the elderly! Merry Christmas and much love from New Zealand

      Between Naps On The Porch Easy to clean out, slide out the collection tray and empty into bin. Brushes will always need some sort of cleaning periodically if you have hair, pet hair or thread around them. I just used a small hard bristle brush and swipe one side to the other and you can purchase replacement brushes if they become too grotty. Unit lets you know when it's full and ours talks to you...hope this helps. My in-laws aren't as mobile anymore so buying a second unit for them has been a huge blessing to them too.

    PS. Slept on it, I wonder if you can box cut away the sides of the hat box or find the tape seam and pull it away? Then the hat box bottom remains for the form that holds it all together? Hang it or table centerpiece. The holiday aroma contained in it has to be worth the effort. : ) I think it may be a Carrie Do. : )
