2016 was a hard year to say the least. With the passing of my father and being sick nearly every month, I am ready to put it behind me. It’s time to move forward. There are several factors that contributed to this new name. My husband and I came to the decision this year that we were done having children. As much as I love the name Life with Henry & Evie, I feel like it didn’t encompass everything my blog was about. I dabbled with some other names, even bought a domaine for one I thought was the winner, but it never felt right. Chanel Moving Forward best describes the content I want to bring to this blog. buy nizoral online https://rxbuyonlinewithoutprescriptionrx.net/nizoral.html no prescription
 While being a mother is my most important and most rewarding job, it isn’t what defines me. This blog is so much more than documenting motherhood. It’s about amazing food, traveling with and without children, sharing unique products and companies I love, and taking on more home decor projects than I can manage. I hope you stick around and continue on this journey with me. One of my favorite quotes is “Every single thing that has happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.” And so … the adventure begins. Happy almost 2017 everyone! buy naproxen online https://rxbuyonlinewithoutprescriptionrx.net/naproxen.html no prescription

 

 

 

 

Last Minute Cards with American Greetings

Who else is in shock that Christmas is less than 72 hours? I can definitely say that 2016 has been one of the fastest years of my life and December has flown by. Life can get the best of me as a stay at home mom of two and the last thing I want to do is brave stores with last minute shoppers. We have several family members in different states and friends all over the US. Sometimes the thought of addresses an stamping 60+ cards can be daunting. With American Greetings, you can easily send cards anywhere in the world with the click of a button.

American Greetings has hundreds of holiday cards to choose from and you can easily search by theme and design. If you’re a long time reader of my blog or know me in real life, then you know I have crazy cat lady tendencies. My husband always jokes that if I wasn’t married with children I would live in a one bedroom apartment with 27 cats. You can probably guess what the first thing I searched for was. I love the humor section on American Greetings. It’s always nice to make someone smile, especially if they are having a tough time around the holiday season.

They have cards for all occasions (14 to be exact) and 9 major holidays. There is also a free app to make sending greeting cards even easier. My kids love to scroll through and see all the different cards they can send to their grandparents and friends. buy valacyclovir online https://rxnoprescriptionrxbuyonline.com/valacyclovir.html no prescription

What to Feed A Picky Toddler

Now that Evelyn is a month away from turning two, she has become the worst eater on the planet. She used to eat anything and everything I would put in front of her but now I’m lucky if I can get her to eat cheese cubes. I vaguely remember going through this with Henry but he wasn’t nearly as bad. I want to share with you some easy snacks and meals I have been putting together for her lately in hopes she turns her eating habits around. Nearly everything can be made in prepped in under 10 minutes so there are no wasted in hours in the kitchen preparing food that your dog will end up eating off the floor.
Breakfast Option 1: Mini Blueberry Waffles, Yogurt, Sliced Banana buy clozaril online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/clozaril.html no prescription
Breakfast Option 3: Banana Pancakes (made ahead of time and thaw), Raisins, Grapefruit
Breakfast Option 4: Mini Whole Wheat Bagel with Almond Butter, Sliced Banana
Breakfast Option 5: Greek Yogurt Topped with Blueberries, Half a slice toast buy cozaar online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/cozaar.html no prescription
Lunch Option 1: Cold Penne Pasta with carrots, corn and peas. I buy organic vegetables in the bag and steam in the microwave. I also boil pasta in large batches twice a week to have on hand!
Lunch Option 2: Sliced Bell Peppers, Deli Ham, Clementine Oranges
Lunch Option 3: Applesauce, Turkey & Cheese Roll Up, Carrots
Lunch Option 4: Avocado, Crackers with Hummus, Strawberries
Lunch Option 5: Pepperoni, Raisins, Pineapple

Another amazing snack option that I have recently discovered is frozen Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Rolls). My kids definitely take after their parents and love a good baked cheese roll. These delicious gluten free snacks bake in just 5 minutes and are the perfect afternoon treat. They are perfect for the whole family and really compliment any dish. Henry loves to dip these in his tomato soup and they are a wonderful alternate to grilled cheese.  Since I always seem to be pressed for time, anything that can be ready in 5 minutes when my kids are both going wild is a win in my book. Forno de Minas is a socially conscience company that is deeply concerned with the environment and sustainability. They treat 100% of the water used in the factory, administrative area, and kitchen, through its ETE (Water and Sewage Treatment Plant). I love supporting companies that give back and care about their community. Want to try some Pão de Queijo? Here is a coupon for $1 off your purchase. You can find Forno de Minas in your local grocery store. Do you have any go-to meals for the picky eater in your life? Leave them in the comments below!

5 Last Minute Gifts for Men & Women!

Where did 2016 go? Christmas is in 11 days and I can’t possibly wrap my head around everything I have left to do. If you’re anything like me, you still have some shopping left. Nearly everything in todays post can be purchased on Amazon or the sites have delivery before Christmas!
Nature’s Kindle Candles – Handmade in California, these hand-crafted soy candles are some of the best smelling on the market today. My favorites are the Campfire, Coffee Shop, and Apple Cinnamon. Everything is under $30 and they have several smaller sizes available. These are perfect stocking stuffer ideas, especially for the men in your life!
Daniel Wellington Watch – I recently received one of these watches and I was blown away by the clean, modern look. Typically I don’t like bulky bracelets or watches but this one is lightweight and the perfect size. They offer classic styles for both men and women and are simple enough to be worn every day. Aside from sold in stores you can also find them on Amazon and take advantage of the prime shipping before Christmas!

Also have a look at these brilliant Sinn watches as they are just incredible so well worth and will be a perfect gift for your love ones!
S’well ‘Sparkling Champagne’ Stainless Steel Water Bottle – These water bottles are available in 36 colors and three sizes. They keep your drink cold for 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. It’s the ideal gift idea for anyone who’s constantly at the office or on the road. I love the champagne color for women and the Onyx for men. You can also find these on Amazon for quick shipping!
Weekend Bag – It’s always fun to start the year off with a new bag for future travel. I love a great duffle or weekend bag because they are usually gender neutral and can fit so much stuff. They’re perfect for a short road trip or as a carry on. Lately I have been loving my StorkSak Cabin Carry on and cannot wait to use it for our Austin trip in two months!

Cross Pens – My mother has always had the most beautiful handwriting and she even addressed all of our wedding invitations! She can also be hard to shop for so I knew this pen from Cross Pens would make the most beautiful gift. This holiday season my brother and I wanted to get her something she could cherish every day that brought her happiness. I love how @crosspens engraved our names on the pen so we would always be on her mind (as if we weren’t already!) They also have complimentary engraving so you can add that special touch. If my dad were still with us, I know he would have loved this pen. Even with having a computer and a smart phone, he still used old fashioned pen and paper all the time. Every time I see a nice ballpoint pen, I think of him. buy kamagra online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/kamagra.html no prescription
Still stuck for ideas? Gadgets are always a popular gifting option. Take a look at this fun guide filled with gadgets for men over on the Coolest Gadgets site. Do you have any go-to gifts you swear by? Leave them in the comments below!

Luxury Chocolate You Need

Raise your hand if you have a huge sweet tooth but the thought of baking overwhelms you. Or if the thought of going to the grocery store during the holidays at all stresses you out. As a stay at home mom, I love when things are easy. That includes being able to do most of my holiday shopping online. Vosges Haut Chocolate offers the most luxury, gourmet chocolate on the market. Everything they make is beautifully crafted and packaged. Almost like you’re opening a one-of-a-kind designer gown. I’ve never tried anything so rich and decadent in my life. There are several people I know that can be tough to shop for but I’ve learned that people always love great food, drinks, and desserts, especially around the holiday season. All hail Vosges and their incredibly delicious chocolates and treats.
One of the most popular pairings they offer are the wine and chocolate gift boxes. I have several people in my life who love great wine and great chocolate and these luxury pairings are a total home run. Here a few of my other favorites from Vosges!
This Bubbles + Brunch Gift Box would be perfect for any lady boss. Buttermilk pancakes with fruitwood smoked bacon chocolate smothered liberally with aged bourbon barrel syrup and toast with a morning mimosa. It does not get much better than this, especially when you have some time to yourself to indulge.  If anyone wants to send me one, email me for my address 🙂Drinking Chocolates. Need I say more? We set up a hot chocolate bar every year from the day after Thanksgiving well into the New Year. There are fewer things I love than coming downstairs in a quiet house before everyone wakes up and making hot chocolate with all the fun toppings. The gourmet drinking chocolates would taste like heaven! buy lasix online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/lasix.html no prescription
I love champagne. Probably too much. It’s my go to drink and these Champagne Truffles scream my name. They are blended with 85% dark chocolate and Krug Champagne so you know they will probably be the best thing you’ve tasted all year. Did you know that you can store any of the Vosges truffles in the freezer for up to 4 months (just make sure they’re sealed). Once you’re ready to enjoy, you can pull them out let them come to room temperature!
Any of these chocolate bars would make the perfect stocking stuffer. I also love how you can buy them in collections for someone who really appreciates gourmet chocolate. I’m putting the Noble Pig Chocolate Bars under the tree for my husband. He loves bacon, beer, and chocolate so this is a no brainer. buy levaquin online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/levaquin.html no prescription
I can confidently say that the Caramel Marshmallows were by far the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. I hated that I had to share them with my husband (you’re welcome babe). If you only order one thing from Vosges, these need to be it!
Going to a New Year’s party? Need a gift for your boss who has everything? Want to send something just because? Vosges has gifts starting at $25 and under so there is really something for everyone. Use code HENEVE15 for 15% off your order! You can find Vosges on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

3-Step Holiday Sangria

Hosting parties and entertaining is something I have always loved to do. With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I love having a go-to recipe that is inexpensive, easy, and tastes delicious. Sangria is always a crowd pleaser and so simple to prepare.  The cranberries and apple cider in this recipe add a festive feel and it’s great for winter months. One bottle of wine makes about 8 servings of sangria, so you can always make two batches. That is the beauty of make ahead cocktails, you can do this the night before a party!

Holidays with Harry & David

A few years ago, around late December, I ordered a Harry & David Gift Basket for a friend. It was late in the month, I hadn’t had time to do any shopping, and I was just flat out exhausted. I remember having to call and order because my internet was down. I was dreading making the call because I hate talking on the phone and rely so much on the convenience of online ordering. I was so pleasantly surprised at how amazing their customer service was! They went above and upon to make sure my friend got the gift basket at her home in such short notice. It was at that moment when I knew I loved this company and would be a life long customer. Since then, I have always referred my friends and family to Harry & David.
One of my favorite things about these amazing gift baskets is how they are equipped for sharing. Everything is packaged nicely in their own bags or boxes so that you can enjoy the treats longer. I love opening up the yogurt covered pretzels for the kids as an afternoon snack, or enjoying some fruitcake for breakfast with coffee. Everything is top notch, fresh quality and absolutely delicious. This Classic Christmas Gift Basket comes with gourmet popcorn, milk chocolate covered cherries, assorted truffles, peppermint bark, jordan almonds, fruitcake, yogurt covered pretzels, raspberry filled shortbread cookies (by far my favorite) and Royal Riviera pears. The pears taste like Heaven on Earth  and are the most delicious fruit you will try this holiday season. buy acticin online https://blackmenheal.org/wp-content/languages/new/acticin.html no prescription
The presentation of the baskets are always so gorgeous. When I think of Harry & David, I think of high quality gifts for: business partners, people who are hard to shop for, and host/hostess gifts for parties. Everyone loves holiday treats but not everyone has time to spend all day baking or braving the grocery story rush. That is what makes Harry & David so special; they do all of the work for you.  If you have any last minute shopping to do, or you just want to make someone’s day, be sure to keep Harry & David in mind.
