Educate Yourself on Estate Planning (For Free)

MLGSeptemberEventSponsor

Through the years I have written about the free estate planning workshops Darylnn Morgan, of Morgan Law Group, hosts throughout the year for Orange County families to learn more about estate planning and naming guardians for their children.

A free Kids Protection Workshop is coming up later this month and I wanted to share the information, along with a recent reader testimonial.

What You Will Learn at the Workshop

1. Nine simple things you can do immediately to ensure your children are cared for by the people you want if something should happen to you.

Sharing is Caring

Teaching your kids to share

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…

Bonjour! Free French Lessons This Fall from Jacadi

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jacadi. All opinions are 110% my own! I love the Jacadi French Lessons for Kids. You will too. Allons-y (let’s go)!

Jacadi French Lessons

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.

“I want to see the Eiffel Tower!”

“I want to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower!”

“They speak a fancy language!”

And I couldn’t agree with them more.

In our household, we also have the Fancy Nancy book series to thank for the interest in French culture. Because, as fellow Fancy Nancy fans know, everything in French sounds fancy. 

So imagine my daughters’ delight when I shared with them a series of Jacadi French lessons for kids recently launched on the Jacadi (pronounced jack-uh-dee) website. Free lessons on French culture? Oui! Oui! Sounds fun!

When To Toss Old Cosmetics

Being an esthetician, I can easily sing the praises of having monthly facials.

Equally, if not more important than regular facials, is your home skin care routine.

While the expense of quality beauty products might motivate you to keep products to the every last drop, it’s important to ensure the beauty products you are using aren’t past their prime.
