Blog by Dawn Maloney As the holiday season ramps up — parties, dinners, New Year celebrations coming into view — it’s natural to feel inspired for a fresh start.

You ask yourself:  Do I really need all this? And maybe you’re tempted to d

Blog by Juliza Ortiz Every once in a while, a simple story finds its way to you at the exact moment you need it. The Sandcastle  by Dawn Maloney did that for me. It’s a children’s book — soft, gentle, and easy to read — but it carries a message that reaches far beyond childhood. It’s a story about loss, faith, and the courage to rebuild when life washes something away. And honestly… it brought me to tears. The book follows a young girl who spends her day building a beautiful

Blog by Juliza Ortiz The holidays are magical… but let’s be real they’re also overwhelming. Moms are juggling school events, shopping lists, holiday parties, and a million little tasks. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we try to squeeze in Santa photos. Which usually means a crowded mall, screaming kids, long lines, and overpriced photo packages that make you want to go home and lay face-down on the couch. Honestly? Mall Santa photos stress me  out. The crowds, the no
