Our Favorite Mother/Daughter Spots | December 2016 | 614 Mom
Remember, it's not always about what you do or how much money you spend, it's about spending quality time just the two of you. These are memories she will look back and remember. She may remember that time you slipped on ice, or the way you laughed when she told a joke, she may remember you teaching her to ice skate and making her get back up when she fell, or the way you'd kiss her boo boo. The point is, she will remember these moments big or small and it's important to have these special memories between just the two of you.
Chinese Lantern Festival | December 2016 | 614 Mom
The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we bundled up the kids and we headed to the Ohio Chinese Lantern Festival. This was a new experience for all of us but it's safe to say that it's a new favorite.
Sweet Gifts For The Mamas In Your Life | Shop Local | 614 Mom
My favorite gifts are the thoughtful gifts that come from the heart. The ones that you can tell someone put a lot of thought and love into. I've complied a list of really sweet gifts to give the mom (or grandma) on your list this holiday season. The best part? All the items on this list are from local businesses. Shop local while getting something to be treasured for a lifetime by the mama you're shopping for. Moms - send this to your significant other. Husbands/Wives/Boyfriends/Girlfriends - book mark this page, it will still be here in April when you're starting your Mother's Day shopping. ;-) I do this because I love you!

Little Mugshots | Create Happiness | 614 Mom
Then I pause and I look at these beautiful, peaceful, amazing, children that make me laugh, cry, smile, burst with joy in these perfect hand drawn silhouettes hanging above my dresser, right above my jewelry box and I feel all sorts of pride and joy. These are my babies, and they are the reason I work hard everyday, and strive for perfection. They deserve every last ounce of my energy. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that's truly how I feel every single time I look at what Stephanie drew for me.
Juvly Aesthetics | 614 Mom | Lifestyle
I can't say enough great things about Juvly. The location is in the heart of downtown, with easy parking, and when you walk in you're immediately greeted by the sweetest staff who are focused on one thing - providing excellent care to their client. The rooms are clean and cozy, it allows you to really relax and make the most of your time there.
I can't wait to share with you about my journey with Juvly and the stretch mark therapy, but until then be sure to check them out for all of your skin care needs and comment below if you have some questions for them, I will cover them in my next post.
My Favorite Holiday Traditions
The holidays are my favorite, I love this time of year more than anything. When I was growing up my Grandma Remy would always go all out for Christmas and I know that my love for Christmas comes from her love for Christmas and the joy she had around the holidays. Sadly, my grandma is no longer celebrating Christmas on Earth with the rest of us but I am determined to make the holidays as memorable for my kids as she did for me. I have taken some of my favorite traditions from my childhood, and added a few new fun ones that we love.
