2016 has been a roller coaster year for most of the world…and as a blogger for Kouboo, I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to pursue my ideas and creative thoughts with all of our readers. The owners of this amazing online home decor store, Joey and Patrice Gerber, have become “family” over the last couple of years and I want to take a moment to thank them for their generosity and spirit, not just with me, but for their pursuit of bringing artisan crafted one-of-a-kind products to their fast growing online community of followers and clients.
Family has been the focal point for most over the last several months as much of the nation celebrated around a Thanksgiving table, Christmas and Hanukkah traditions, and now bringing in the New Year. No matter how you celebrated, your home became a gathering place for those you love.
Where in your home do you share laughter, love and gratitude with the important people in your life?
