I Wish You Peace & Love
As the holidays approach us I want to remind you what it is really about. It is about surrounding yourself with love and peace. Happiness and joy. It isn't a time to think about what you do not have. It is about being grateful for what you do have.
I look forward to spending the holidays with my kids, family and boyfriend all together for my favorite holiday- Christmas Eve. It may not be the big celebration we are used to but at least we all have each other.
Be grateful for these moments and remember what life is really about!

Gingerbread Men Fun
I love anything to do with crafts and kits. Every time I spot something like this I have to get it for the kids.
This was a lot of fun. I also gave them more sprinkles to add to their decorations. What fun holiday crafts have you done this season?
Are You Emotionally Intelligent?
Are you emotionally intelligent?
I think a lot of people think they are but aren’t. I think it’s something we aren’t taught. It can be taught. You can become emotionally intelligent but it starts within.
It’s being able to have control over your emotions. At any given state of mind. It’s being able to show empathy. To be self aware.
“ EI is the capacity to be aware of, to control and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. Simply put, people with a high degree of EI know what they’re feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people.”*
They have control over their emotions. They don’t easily react. They process first. I have met a ton of people close to me who are NOT emotionally intelligent. They react then process. I am sure you have too. They point blame. They are easily triggered. It’s a very common thing. It’s very immature.

“People with high EQs master their emotions because they understand them, and they use an extensive vocabulary of feelings to do so. While many people might describe themselves as simply feeling “bad,” emotionally intelligent people can pinpoint whether they feel “irritable,” “frustrated,” “downtrodden,” or “anxious.” **

I think we should focus on teaching our children about this as well. I feel as adults we have to focus on being more in-tune with who we are too. If someone early on helped us express how we felt intelligently then we would live a better life. Have better relationships. Function better at work and in daily tasks. It would be better for our health too.

Not On Your Journey or Mine
You don’t need to carry them along on your journey. Move on from people and situations and jobs that aren’t good for you. The past is the past for a reason.
I wish my past all great things. Just don’t expect to still be a part of my journey.
How Do You Top Your Egg Nog?
Best Egg Nog brand is Hood for sure. But what do YOU top your Egg Nog with?
Amaretto is my favorite liquor to add. The nutty flavor enhances the Egg Nog. Doesn’t make it too strong and just compliments it.
Are You Happy?
No matter what your circumstances just be happy. Life is much more enjoyable that way!

Snoop Dog Wine Collection
We grew up listening to his music so when a friend brought over a bottle of his wine and showed us their interactive app. We couldn’t help but enjoy the process. It’s not his typical “Gin & Juice”.
Really cool concept. https://www.19crimes.com/
Westchester's Winter Wonderland Drive-Thru Light Show Experience
Stunning is an understatement. We went for my best friend’s birthday. It was beautiful. You pay per car to get in. It’s 25-30 minutes from Norwalk. So worth it. You drive around for 15 mins looking at awesome light displays. You must buy tickets in advance.

Happy Friday...One More Week Til Christmas
Happy Friday! Some packages are still lost even though ordered a month ago. I spent last weekend wrapping just do it it some more tonight. But with that all being said it’s Friday. Embrace the day and it’s ok to be a little like a Scrooge. I won’t hold it against ya!

Did You Get Outside?
Funny thing about parenting. It’s a time where your inner child can come out and play too!
