As we explore the wonders of Christmas this month, I hope you love and enjoy December 2014, as much as I will.

Noblesse November 2014 Is Here

I don’t know about you, but to me the month of November has always felt like such a noble month. With crisp fresh air and the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet, November boasts rich beautiful colors, flavors, and aromas bringing all your senses to life. It is a month of gratitude for family and friends, all culminating in a holiday of thankfulness, and leading into the Advent of Christmas. The splendor of November can be enjoyed indoors and out. I hope you love and enjoy your Noblesse November 2014, as much as I do.

This thoughtful month inspired me to create a new feature on my blog–Gratitude, Promise & Memories. Gratitude for the present, promise for the future, and memories of the past. So, without further ado…
