Light house

Oh, the light must be on! Warm candle light is dearly needed during gloomy October evenings. I have candles in every possible corner of the house, in old and new glass jars mostly. (Those are the safest options with two kids running around.) I light one the first thing in the morning, even for the short time it takes for us to have a quick breakfast before heading off the work, school and daycare. When we get back home, I light one outside the front door even if no one is coming for a visit and another one out back behind our living room windows. My kids know now how to sigh approvingly "oh they create such a wonderful atmosphere!".



My little white houses (bought last year from Country by mail) cast interesting shadows and get the mind geared towards little creatures, like elves, and to christmas, as well.
