My two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels , Layla and Max, have helped me in grieving the loss of my son Gavin who passed away in 2011 from S.I.D.S. It has been a dream of mine to get Layla and Max certified as therapy dogs. Cavaliers are known to be companion dogs and the truth is they just love LOVE! I have set up a www.GoFundMe.com campaign and hope that I can raise some funds to get them started into the training courses.

Can anyone else believe that we are already headed towards the end of 2014 ? School is in session, everyone is getting back into their routines and the holidays are approaching quickly. Last year I waited to do holiday shopping on Christmas Eve. This year I have promised myself I will not do that. Who needs the unwanted stress anyway? I’m a fan of personalized gifts and I always like to put plenty of thought into any gift I give, large or small. I came across these pillowcases and thought they would make a great gift for that child in your family who has every toy possible. 33% Off Your First Order at Ink Garden! Use Code: CREATE. Design a product of your choice (select between: t-shirts, mugs, business cards, stationary and much more) S&H not included in discount. Cannot be used in conjunction with other offers.

In 2012 I was fortunate enough to visit PATCHES during a holiday toy drive . It has changed my life and has made me reach for the positive and help those grassroots organizations that are truly in need in our community.

 I am reaching out to ask for your support in anyway. I would love for you all to attend the Gala on October 25th at Trump National in Doral. Each seat is $200 , I understand that this may be out of reach for some, but if you could pass along the information to those who may be able to attend I would greatly appreciate it! And don’t forget to share on ALL social media platforms.

Easter has always been at the top of my list when it comes to my favorite holidays. I’ve been known to go a little over the top for our Easter parties. What kid wouldn’t want to hold a real fluffy bunny, eat the best sweet treats and then participate in an Easter egg hunt with a $20 bill in the golden egg? And who can resist the Easter dresses? My daughter had 3 Easter dresses one year and I’m sure my other Miami moms are laughing because they go crazy over little girls clothing too! Lets not leave out our handsome little boys. Nowadays bow ties are as important as socks are.  You can find some great outfits at Tea Collection . They also sell women’s wear!
