Sharing is hard sometimes. If you’re little, then it can be really hard. You have that favorite toy (okay, favorite LOTS of toys), and a sibling or a friend wants to play with it. Or take it. Cue the tears. By the time my second kiddo came along, I had picked up a few helpful tips from friends and family for teaching your kids to share. Here they are…

The other day I overheard a cute conversation between my 8-year-old daughter and her friends discussing where in the world they would go, if they could go anywhere. There was a clear winner in destinations – Paris.

Your skin needs to be professionally exfoliated and moisturized, just like your hair needs to be professionally cut and conditioned, and your teeth need to be professionally cleaned.
Equally, if not more important than regular facials, is your home skin care routine.

My oldest daughter apparently sent her American Girl doll, Casey Jane, off to her first day of Kindergarten with the same front of door signage photo shoot tradition. It freaked me out when browsing through my camera roll because it looked sort… Continue reading Happy 1st Day Of School
The #DailyChargeChallenge starts today and will run through September 30th! In case you missed my first post sharing self-care ideas for moms – click here. Are you up for the challenge? Here’s how it works…
Whether your daily charge is doing a few deep breaths or planning a full spa day, it’s up to you. But your daily charge should be something that makes you feel balanced, happy, filled up, recharged and/or more relaxed. Some form of self-care JUST focused on you. No one else, you. You deserve it.
