PUPPY STAR Christmas Gingerbread House!

Christmas is by far my most favorite holiday of the year. I love it all. From the festive foods, to the music, and all the fun and sparkly decor! So during this time of the year we roll up our sleeves and get crafty, and sometimes a tad bit messy too. Because all the fun stuff are messy don't you think? When we got a special package in the mail from Air Bud Official promoting their new NETFLIX movie called PUPPY STAR CHRISTMAS. It is a song and dance filled canine comedy!

The family just got bigger, as newlyweds, Tiny and P.U.P, are spending their 1st Christmas with their new pups: CINDY, ROSIE, CHARLIE, and BRODY. Unfortunately, the pups are more interested in getting gifts than enjoying a holiday with their family. To show what Christmas means to them, Tiny & P.U.P plan a ‘Pup Star Christmas Special’, showcasing their new family, puptastic songs and a magical appearance of Santa & his reindeer! But, little do they know, Bark and his mean team of Kano, Roland & Julio, have a new scheme to disrupt Pup Star and steal Christmas. They hijack Santa & the North Pole for their own personal gain. With Roland acting as the new Santa, and Bark forcing people to pay for Santa's good will, the holiday spirit is at an all-time low. When the pups find themselves in the North Pole, it's up to them to save not only the Pup Star special, but the Christmas spirit itself and discover the true meaning of the holiday. PUPPY STAR CHRISTMAS is a fun, grand musical adventure, filled with singing pups, new songs, and a story filled with cheer and surprises!

To celebrate the fun of the new movie we were given tons of yummy candies to create our very own PUPPY STAR CHRISTMAS Gingerbread house, and these little ones sure did enjoy every lick they could get in while creating their home sweet home! It was a really fun time spent together, and something I know they will ask me to do every year from here on. They really enjoyed creating it together, and surprisingly they did not argue through out the whole thing, which is a big deal I'm telling you!

Go get yourself some sweet treats and a gingerbread house of your own, and turn on PUPPY STAR CHRISTMAS now on NETFLIX and have some cozy family holiday time on the couch this weekend. I promise you will enjoy every minute of it!

Getting in the Holiday Spirit with QCM Santa HQ!

I really cant believe the fact that the new year is approaching, when I feel like it just begun. The holidays always fly right by, and I feel like I get absolutely nothing done around this time of the year. I have been trying my best though to make it as festive, and fun as possible for the boys because it is all about creating memories they can look back on.

We were invited to join in on some fun at the Queens Center Mall Santa HQ for Blogger Family Night, but life happens and we never made it. They were amazing enough though to book us a reservation to come the next week, and see what they had up for families to enjoy this year. We attended last year, and the boys absolutely loved it, and so did me and dad for other reasons. Now I don't know about you but I remember being a six year old girl in my fluffy dress anxiously waiting on line to get a photo with Santa, and as I waited for this special moment I only had the ropes that keep the line in order to play with while my mom scolded me for swinging them around. Well those days are long gone, because our kids have the pleasure of going from one center to another until they get to meet the big guy. Not only do they stand on meter that lets them know if they have been naughty or nice, but they also got to create their very own elf ID's, and enjoy some fun elf ry vision games that allows them to see all the magic that goes behind being an elf. 

What mom + dad loved the most was, a simple online reservation that got us in and out without any issues, because if any body knows how impatient children are then you know this is a huge huge deal.  I didn't have to hear them whine or complain about it taking too long, and asking when it would be time to see Santa. Once we got to Santa, they were ecstatic and he made it a truly special experience for them by asking them questions about themselves, and what they loved most about Christmas. They got to take a sibling photo, and then the crew insisted that we jumped in to get a family photo as well. 

The experience in general was so much fun, and the photos came out perfect! I can always count on Queens Center Mall, Santa HQ to get the best shot of us four to complete our holiday cards every year. They never fail me, which is why it is one of our main go to spots every single holiday season. I am so grateful we got to experience this again, and they were so generous in accommodating us.

Go online now and reserve your spot to make your holidays magical with QCM too!

Fight the Flu with Boiron!

The flu is a scary thing every time around this time of the year. It seems to get worse and worse every year, and I am sure it is one of the main concerns every mom has once the weather starts to get chilly. I have been finding a million different ways ever since I became a mom on how to constantly avoid getting sick during the winter time so I can be 100% for my babies. If I am not 100% then there is no way I can make sure they will be too!
Boiron makes so many different homeopathic medicines for the entire family. Here are some of my favorites that I use on myself, and on my little ones too!


Oscilloccinum works best when taken at the first sign of flu like symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, and headaches. It is for everyone ages 2 and up. I have used this many times when I realize I did not properly bundle myself for a cold winter night, and I walk in with wet feet from wearing sneakers in the snow, or getting caught in the rain without an umbrella. I make sure as soon as I get home I take this so I can be sure that when I wake up in the morning I don't feel worse, and I end it before it starts. Its also non drowsy so you can take it during the day or in the afternoon without any worries!


ColdCalm temporarily relieves common cold symptoms including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headaches, and minor soar throat. Available as quick dissolving tablets for everyone in the family. Which makes it so much easier to take on the go when needed. These are my best friend which I carry in my mom purse wherever we go. You know children in the winter seem to have permanent runny noses and this really does the trick.  My boys both have been going through a lot of nasal congestion since they have been born literally. I have been using ColdCalm for myself for quite some time too, because having a cold is minor but your cold usually does turn into something more serious when it is not cared for well. ColdCalm does the trick without any known drug interactions! These medicines only contain active ingredients derived from highly diluted plants, minerals, and animals.

These are the two products that I use for my family on the regular during the cold winter weather, but Boiron carries SO many more products for all kinds of common sicknesses, pains, and concerns. I will most definitely be trying all of their other products soon from allergy medicine, to even stress relief! They honestly make it all, and I had no idea. They have been a company I have trusted whole heartedly during the cold weather so I know I can trust them through everything else I have health concerns about on a daily basis too!

As a mom influencer I love when I get to work, and share with my following products that I have been using since before I even became an influencer, since before I even became a mom honestly. Its a great feeling to be able to share my secrets that have been working for me, and making my days and nights easier so that I can help you get that same relief too! Boiron has been my go to company to keep my kids happy and healthy in the most natural way possible, so I know with just one try they will become your go to as well! Found at Target, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Whole Foods, and Amazon.

 *Disclaimer: I was genorously sent these products by Boiron, but all opinions are honest and 100% of my own!
