I don&#8217;t just mean spot lights and such and dimmers, I mean flameless candles. \u00a0Flameless candles mean we don&#8217;t have to worry about one of the kids reaching up and grabbing a flame and getting burned. \u00a0They are much safer. \u00a0We don&#8217;t have to worry about\u00a0remembering\u00a0to blow the candles out before going to bed or leaving the house. \u00a0They really make me feel a lot safer than using traditional candles.<\/p>\n<p>LED tea lights will make a nice addition to our living room and dining room. \u00a0I like how we can set them in any votive holder and they will flicker just like a normal candle would. \u00a0The soft candle light glow is what I&#8217;m after, not the danger of the flame. I also like the idea that I won&#8217;t have to have bags of tea lights on hand to replace all of the time once they burn out. \u00a0The only thing I&#8217;ll have to replace will be the\u00a0occasional\u00a0battery. \u00a0I&#8217;ve even seen the kind of tea lights that are rechargeable. \u00a0That sounds like my kind of candle. \u00a0I won&#8217;t have to store extra candles or extra batteries.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy the glow of candles when I want to relax, so may I&#8217;ll pick up some extra candles to use in my bathroom for when I want to take long,hot baths. \u00a0It wouldn&#8217;t hurt to add a few lighting touches to our master bedroom either. \u00a0For the bedroom though I think I will go with the kind of candles that look like real melting candles but are still battery operated. \u00a0I&#8217;ll get the look I still want and the peace of mind that flameless candles provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The perfect lighting makes a big difference in everything. \u00a0I&#8217;m working on redoing our home decor and want to add just the right touches of light with candles throughout our home. \u00a0We have two children so decorating with real candles can be very tricky. \u00a0We have to make sure the candles are not lit when &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/2012\/05\/11\/decorating-with-candles\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Decorating With Candles&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,15],"tags":[111,206,207,255],"class_list":["post-950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-decorating","category-home-and-yard","tag-candles","tag-decorate","tag-decorating","tag-flameless-candles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/worpal.com\/susiestrauss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
