This is the time of year where I start planning out my goals, intentions and business plan for the year and steps toward helping myself succeed for the year.

I’ll be sipping this King’s Cider cocktail throughout the holidays and into the New Year! It’s Perfect hot or cold. Cheers!

The holidays are all about family, and traditions that grow and blossom. No matter if you change where you celebrate the holidays every year, or do it in the same location, everyone changes from year to year! Especially your children! People always talk about how important it is to capture your children each year as they grow. And while I know it’s true, it’s also just plain obvious. You love seeing your kids grow each year and how much they change. From that first day of school photo at your front door to the last day of school. But what about just the two of you whether you have kids or not?
