New This Week...

1. Our First Foray Into YouTube

We made our first YouTube video... and realized it's so much more complicated than it looks! It was dark and cloudy all day Sunday, so we used the light in the iPhone, but we'll be ordering one of these stands & lights here for future videos... unless you guys recommend something different? In the meantime, check out our first video discussing Jurlique's newest serum made with all natural ingredients, available here! (Please excuse the overblown light... we'll be getting better at lighting as we go along & please subscribe if you're interested in green beauty or affordable, sustainable fashion ideas!)

2. Fall Style

3. Easy Veggie Recipe

Ryan's Shakshuka recipe is the easiest recipe with the fanciest name & great for raising good cholesterol. Check it out here!

4. Fantastic Gift Idea

Zebrabooks creates gorgeous, personalized books for children. The books come in English or French, and your child's name is not only on the cover but the name of the main character of each adventure! Harper just began attending French lessons-- her mama is French-American and our household is bilingual-- so we chose French. She loved being able to pick her name out of the words on each page. Read more about our experience on Instagram or purchase your own copy here.

Reading books while snuggled up in bed is one of my favorite things to do! So I’m soooo happy my daughter enjoys it as well □□□☺️. She’s also now at the point where she can even pick out a few words, which makes reading together even more fun. This personalized book is so perfect for her reading level, because her name is not only on the cover but on every page! Harper not only felt like part of the story, but we had so much fun finding her name! □ They’re available in French & English, but we we chose French as she’s just begun learning after a late start. My 3-year-old is also learning French... 5 is a great age, but the younger you can start the better. MJ is like a sponge! Does anyone else live in a bilingual household? What are some tricks or methods you employ? @zebrabook_ #bookstagram . . J’aime lire au lit le plus de tout au monde. Pour ça je suis très contente que ma fille aime lire avec moi aussi. Ces livres personnalisés sont parfaits pour son niveau de lecture actuel. Elle adore trouver son nom sur chaque page! Ils sont disponibles en français ou en anglais. Nous avons choisi le français car elle vient de commencer à apprendre. Est-ce que quelqu’un d’autre vit dans un ménage bilingue? Vous avez les conseils pour nous? □ . . . . #mamanblogueuse #momlifeisthebestlife #shelfie #bilingualeducation #learningfrench #fblogger #blogeusemode #mommyblogger #motherhoodthroughinstagram #preciousmoments #mommystyle #pjsallday #thatsdarling #pursuewhatislovely #nofilter #cozyhome #bluefly
