Earlier this year our family had a very frightening scare with my older son R. who was rushed to the children’s hospital while we were traveling. This event put me in a state of shock for months.

In the end everything turned out okay but this changed a lot of things for me and my hubby.

I stopped for a “minute”, a long minute to appreciate every moment I could with my family, especially my boys. I began to see grace and extraordinariness in the everyday routine.

One day, when I’m more brave, I’ll share the story.

I know you don’t read my blog to get sad news but I wanted to share the inspiration behind what motivated me this holiday season.

This event inspired me to make this holiday season the most magical that I could for my children, my family and my friends.

I was inspired a create a sense of wonderment, joy and glee for everyone this year.

Watch the quick tricks I employed to pull off my Thanksgiving week while juggling it all.

So what do you think?
