Department stores, neighborhoods, school holiday plays and pretty much everything around us is already full of holiday spirit. Its hard to believe that the holiday season is just around the corner! Time to get your noggin thinking about the best gifts as well as entertaining.

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out some gift ideas or how you can spruce up your house during this holiday season.

Luckily I was invited to attend this years MomTrends 6th annual Holiday Sioree. This was my 2nd year attending and the fabulous chic ladies of MomTrends never fail in making us feel ready for the holiday season. Not only were we able to see products but were also given tips and resources to make to make this holiday full of gift giving and entertaining painless and enjoyable as well.

In Keeping with the spirit of holiday, attendees arrived bearing a gift for this years charity which was 'No baby left Unplugged' for the national diaper drive. Our donations were donated to The HopeLine, a charity located in Bronx,Ny, where they help low income families with the essential resources and critical skills they need to better their lives.

We were treated with with tasty nibbles as well as some delicious AriZona and La Croix sparkling water beverages. Once I was well hydrated I had the opportunity to check out some wonderful products that possibly but most definitely will be under my christmas tree!

From DIY fun with Avery, to fabulous fashion with ivivva and ARMigami, to the classics such as LeSport Sac, American Girl, Avon and much more were there with amazing product and tips for the holiday season.

After spending some time with the brands, we also had the opportunity to take some photo booth style pics with the help of PearHead. Always fun to capture memorable times with some good ole photo booth style pics.

This holiday season can become stressful but thanks to MomTrends I feel ready to tackle the gift list as well as the holiday entertaining! A huge shout out to the wonderful ladies Nicole & Sherri for having us at yet another outstanding MT Holiday Soiree!

Can you peep all the Classics?

Nickelodeon was such a big part of my childhood, so many memories with my siblings. Now I also have the opportunity to create memories with my little one because nickelodeon has such a wonderful selection for toddlers (preschoolers) that are equally fun as educational, that as a parent I appreciate very much.

So when I was invited to attend Nickelodeon's holiday Gift Guide I was so eager & excited as well as my little one was.

This years holiday gift guide preview included some of their most popular shows such as Shimmer & Shine, Paw Patrol, Blaze and the machines, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and SpongeBoob Squarepants. So many options with toys, clothes, bedroom decor and even home appliances. It was so cool to see all the new merchandise that was soon to be launched, even cooler we got to ( well Frida tested more than I did, Lol) txt some out.

Nickelodeon is not only helping kids use their imagination but also providing new ways to incorporate physical activity in your kids playtime. As well as giving your child the wonderful chance to explore their individuality with some of their favorite characters!

Shimmer & Shine, Frida loves Shimmer & Shine! She wanted everything! Lol. Their new product line is absolute magic!

SpongeBob, already an icon! How Cute are the megablocks!

Paw Patrol, That Yoga Mat though (Pink+ Skye= Can I have one please! Lol) The Bedding was one of my faves for all of the characters!

TMNT!! A classic for us the parents now enjoyed by our littles! All of the home appliances are on Mommy's christmas wish list!

As you can see Frida enjoyed seeing the upcoming products for some of her favorite characters!
Thank you Nickelodeon!!

As a new blogger I was lucky to get invited to this years MomTrends Holiday Soirée Not really familiar with what happens at events like this I was a little nervous not knowing what to expect. but luckily I was accompanied by my sister who is a blogger & Vlogger (She has way more experience with this than I do,Lol) so I was in good hands.
I was cheerfully greeted when we arrived to the event (which in opinion sets your mood for the rest of the event) that helped ease my nerves & I was ready to enjoy the event. You can totally feel the warmth, cheerfulness & family vibe at the event that made me feel super comfortable, made me feel like I was among family.
The brand reps that were present were so genuinely easy to apporach & talk to for all the info about their products. Surprisgnly I learned a lot about products that I have used or know about to those that i had no clue were available, it was an exciting learning experience.
Below I leave a few pics of the event & Honestly I am grateful i attended the MomTrends Holiday Soirée, the change i was given to meet fellow bloggers & brand reps is unforgettable. Thank you so much for the opportunity & hopefully I will get the chance to attend next year! :)
