I just found your channel and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your inspiration. My husband passed away 2 years ago and I haven't been feeling like facing all the memories this Christmas. You have encouraged me to make new memories for my family. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@200puppy]

Mimi's MEGA LIFE: I know what you're saying, I feel your pain. I just lost my husband 4 months ago. I'm sorry for your loss. Lauren is showing me that a little Christmas joy can be possible. Love, love all the traditional decor touches throughout. Lauren has so much style, class and ENERGY! The Mrs.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I know how you're feeling. My husband passed away 2 1/2 years ago. I was actually asking myself just this morning why I even bother decorating since I'm mainly the only one to see it on a day to day basis. Life goes on and doing the little things as decorating for a holiday seems to bring a little normalcy to life. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

[@denisefogarty9329]

Sending hugs your way ladies, and anyone who is going though this heartache especially this year. Stay safe love from Ireland.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much!

[@theirishcailin333]

Love all the traditional colours

[@gr8tpumkin]

Lauren, your heart comes through in so many ways. Your love of family and memories, even how you love on those sweet little kittens. Don’t let guilt rob you of your joy. And remember, if you didn’t love your kids with all your heart, you wouldn’t feel guilt in the first place. 😉 Keep doing what you’re doing. It is evident that you are a hard working momma and your efforts will pay off. Congratulations on your schooling achievements. That is tremendous, and deserves celebrating 🎉.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much!!!

Although Iyar watched this video one year later today, I am so floored with the love you put into decorating for the holidays. I absolutely love everything and let me just say the beautiful blue, at the top in your kitchen, are my mom’s favorite pieces. It’s like watching a Hallmark movie❤️❤️❤️

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much!!

[@bettysweet9644]

I try never to commit on a persons spouse, but for him to compare you to his grandmother was just the sweetest. I love the Santa and that you use ribbon tie backs.

[@meganmackenzie5993]

I love how "simple" decor of your home has so many little touches that clearly take your time and mental energy to make it all come together elegantly (such as the wreaths on the curtain ties). Just lovely!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you!!!!

[@kmo3811]

The top of the kitchen cupboards would be lovely with a total red and green theme. Maybe a collections of Santas with the lights and garland. The ideas are endless.

[@leilarefea6846]

This is the most beautiful video i have seen in a LONG LONG TIME! thank you for making me xmas ready♥️

[@dustywest9316]

Lauren your children WILL be proud of you and some day they will understand what a good example you set for them, so good job on finishing your degree! I got my graduate degrees while single parenting and working full-time. I know you made sacrifices along the way, but what a legacy to leave for your kiddos!

The tiebacks to your curtains is a wonderful idea.

[@terriewatson4615]

Hi there! I just found your channel today. I have been binge watching all day. When you brought out “The Joy of Cooking” cookbook, I got the strangest feeling. I thought “I have that cookbook”. I went into my pantry and I have that exact same cookbook!!!! It was given to me by my grandmother so many years ago I had lost track. She has been gone for over 20 years. When I opened it, I found an inscription that it was to be given to me. It had just become lost with all the other cookbooks that I have. I literally have tears in my eyes as I am typing this. Thank you for this being brought back to my attention. From now on, that cookbook will be front and center. So looking forward to what you have planned for all the holidays this year. God bless you for giving me back a gift I had misplaced.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but a tip that has saved me a lot of time AND mistakes is to fold your ribbon in half and make a single cut toward the center. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and work!

Hi Lauren!! Everything looks so beautiful and yes I used to... but now I make the bowl on the hook so that my curtain don't get wrinkled, & then I just tack them in the back and give it the balloon look and that makes it look more flowy relax and gives it the Victorian look but whatever makes you happy that's what it's all about 👍🤗🌲
