‘Tis the Season for Holiday Movies!
One of my favorite holiday shows is Charlie Brown Christmas and I am planning on watching it for the millionth time this month with my little girl. There is just something about Charlie Brown and his crew that put a smile on my face! Being part of the Netflix Stream Team, they send me monthly updates on what shows they are streaming for the month. Plus they offer some fun crafts and recipes to share with you all! See what they have planned for the month of December and sit back on the sofa, light up the fire, grab a cup of hot cocoa (don’t forget the whipped…

Fashion :: Get Your Holiday Groove On!
I hope you have the opportunity and make the time this holiday season to get all dolled up! With all that we busy moms are doing every day for every one else in the family, I think it does a girl good to be excited about an upcoming holiday party that allows you to pull out the fancy clothes, coats and jewelry!

Musings :: The Importance of Doing
The Mom It Forward crew asked their mom blogger community a few weeks ago to participate in the United Nations Federation and 92Y #GivingTuesday event that happens once a year on December 3rd. The premise is to give back to your community in whatever capacity you can. This falls in-line with the concept behind our dandelion moms Project Kindness so we were happy to participate. I wasn’t able to organize our event on December 3rd but we scheduled it for the following Tuesday, December 10th. I figured any time is a good time to give back. And hey, there are five Tuesdays in December so there is till time to be involved…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: LEGOLAND Holiday Snow Days
A few months back we visited LEGOLAND California and had a chance to stay in the LEGOLAND Resort Hotel. This was part of the promotion I was doing with my children’s book, Penelope the Purple Pirate, and Talk Like a Pirate Day which is September 19th. Let me just say that my daughter is still talking about our trip and experience and wants to know when we are going back! We requested a pirate room that was filled with LEGO’s made into pirate-themed displays. Loved this guy who was your official greeter getting off the elevators that – by the way – had a disco ball in it. When you push…
