Nanny to Mommy

It is getting that time of year! Holiday Gift Guide season. Today I'm bringing you a brand that I have  worked with me in the past and absolutely love!

Lottie, Finn and Friends are inspired by real kids. Arklu believes that childhood should be an inclusive place where every child belongs regardless of gender, ethnicity, or ability and aim to reflect that in their collection.

To, date - six of the Lottie products to date have been inspired by ideas from real children!

It's that time of year again! Tons of family get-togethers and maybe even house guests. I don't know about you, but when I know family is coming over, I like to make sure everything is as clean as it could possibly be. These are all items that I personally own that make my house inviting with cleanliness for the holidays (and all year long).

I am very excited to share that this Halloween weekend, Friday, October 27th – Tuesday, October 31st, you can celebrate the Halloween holiday with Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie and more as Disney’s beloved classic THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS returns for a limited engagement exclusively in over 300 Regal cinemas locations nationwide!

With the Holidays quickly approaching, I don't know about you but I have been thinking about what gifts I want to give. And my go-to gift for friends, other moms, or the Hubby has always been wine. I recently had the opportunity to review a few wines from Winc.com with the Hubby. We were very impressed.


I have tried a few different brands and types of wines, but finding what I like can be difficult. Winc is not your traditional wine club: they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience. They are perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived, and purchased. I have never been a sweet wine drinker. That's what I love about Winc. They personalize your wines based on your tastes called the Palate Profile quiz. They ask you questions like, "How do you like your coffee?", "How do you feel about salt?", "Do you like citrus?", etc. It then will recommend wines based on your profile, but you can then select different ones if you'd like.
