It’s a holly jolly time of year over at Minted.com where you can can find everything you need to make your holidays shine with personalized cuteness!

My girls have taken gymnastics classes at Team OC for years and we love their facility and programs, which is why I am excited to share a Team OC special offer with you today!
I have taken the mommy and me gymnastics classes with both my girls, which I loved when they were little. My youngest now takes a preschool gymnastics class and my oldest daughter is in their Devo Program which prepares girls for the competitive team. She is all about gymnastics, all the time. It is her passion, and the only activity she wants to do. She is working so hard to make their team.
Parenting is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. In the peaceful times, being a mom is easy. The snuggles, the play time, the connection, the love. Oh, the love. If it were like this all the time, parenting would be a breeze. But then we would all probably have more children than we do right now, right?!
Then there are the times when I am left standing alone in the face of a sassy comment or bickering sisters or outright defiance, genuinely yearning for divine direction on WHAT to do to handle the situation because I just don’t know what the HECK to do.
Either that, or I react with a response I am not proud of or question myself as I wonder if I did the right thing? It’s those times when I start to question myself as a mom and think, “What am I doing wrong to make my child act like this?!” It’s an awful feeling, isn’t it?
But there is help for us moms!

I have taken my girls the last two months to the Los Cerritos Center Kids Club events in partnership with National Geographic Kids and I can’t more highly recommend these free monthly events for kids!
Recently I discovered my favorite hair product to calm frizz. Ever. My hairstylist, Tera Rae Stephens, recommended it when I told her I struggled with frizzy ends.
It’s called Oi/Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion with roucou oil for all kinds of hair made by Davines. The Davines hair care line creates products with sustainable packaging made from renewable energy sources. As if I didn’t love this product enough already!
