Gift Guide {For the Little Ones}

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We definitely enjoyed ourselves with relaxing morning and lots of family time in the afternoon. I must say, holidays are starting to take on a whole new meaning now that I have kids. It is more about spending time together and less about stressing out (although I'm still learning to not stress out). Here are a few picks for your little ones which I think would make excellent (one of a kind) gifts! 
Happy Shopping!

Gift Guide {FOR HER}

When it comes to gifts for the ladies in your life, nothing can be so challenging and rewarding at the same time! They know exactly what shade of red suits them best but at the same time they want to be surprised. I know that the special girls in my life deserve something unique for being there fore me. I love surprising my mom with something luxurious (like fur trim leather gloves), and presenting my sisterS with something they can use everyday (like a new Kate Spade cross body).  Here are some gift ideas for the gals in your life!

Holiday Perfection {Motherhood Challenges}


With the upcoming holidays, social media tends to draw pictures of perfection. More like tiny flawless snapshots in time for all to see. What we don't see is the hours (or even days) of preparations, stressful photoshoots, sleepless nights, marital quarrels and misbehaving children. We only see a small part of someone's perfectly staged photos (mine included) and think that this is reality. Absolutely not.

Let's talk about natural remedies of prevention sickness, because once you get sick, there is nothing to stop it but let it run its course. However if you can help your body fight the bacteria and kill the nasty germs, you don't have to deal with the consequences of the cold or  flu.

Basically, if your body lacks nutrition, it won't be able to fight off the germs that well. Maintain a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins all winter long with seasonal produce.
