Join the #DailyChargeChallenge! It Starts TODAY!

DCC

The #DailyChargeChallenge starts today and will run through September 30th! In case you missed my first post sharing self-care ideas for moms – click here. Are you up for the challenge? Here’s how it works…

1. Make the commitment to do ONE thing every day to recharge yourself during the month of September. 

Whether your daily charge is doing a few deep breaths or planning a full spa day, it’s up to you.  But your daily charge should be something that makes you feel balanced, happy, filled up, recharged and/or more relaxed. Some form of self-care JUST focused on you. No one else, you. You deserve it.

Let me introduce you to College Nannies & Tutors of Tustin, Lake Forest and Surrounding Communities, a customized Orange County nanny service, helping you find trusted nannies, babysitters or tutors.

I had the opportunity to talk with Jeremy, the owner of College Nannies & Tutors (CNT), one of Tiny Oranges’ new sponsors, and we chatted all about the fabulous services they provide to families…

Pajamas and Pancakes Birthday Party

Pancakes and Pajamas Birthday Party

My youngest turned 5 last week and we threw her a small pajamas and pancakes birthday party which turned out to be the easiest, most inexpensive kid party on record for me (around $80 total), so I wanted to share the ideas with you.

At 5 years old, my daughter’s preschool friends pretty much are just thrilled to have a play date. Throw in some balloons and cupcakes, and life is really good.

Here are some of the SIMPLE pajamas and pancakes theme ideas that made it extra fun.

Have you ever walked in somewhere…and immediately felt at peace?  This rarely happens to me (probably because I always have two kiddos in tow)…but it did this week, and I have to share.  When I stepped into Dantain Studio, subtle candles were lit, soft instrumental music was playing, it was bright and airy, and I was looking at lovely little inspirational sayings and artwork on the wall.

The craziness of my morning started to fade.  My blood pressure started to lower.

Dantain Studio is a beautiful wellness studio in Costa Mesa that specializes in small group fitness classes, as well as traditional and newly emerging natural therapies, which focus on a client’s complete well-being.  And, here’s the great news – Dantain Studio is offering a FREE fitness class to anyone who mentions this Tiny Oranges blog…
