Many of us love the idea of creating fun gingerbread houses with our children but the thought of all the materials needed, the time helping our children, and all the mess can be a little scary. This is why I decided to go a little simpler this year.



Creating these trees was super simple and fun for the kids. I let them each create three Holiday Trees with frosting, sprinkles, and M&M’s. They were so excited about this activity!



As we got started, I realized that this is not only a fun Holiday activity but it is also great for their fine motor skills as well. They were all working very hard, concentrating on putting the green frosting all over the cone.

This part did require some of my assistance with my two-year old after she tried for a bit.


Then you take the holiday sprinkles and put it all over the tree. The kids and I decided the sprinkles were the lights on the Holiday Tree.



If the kids didn’t eat all of their M&M’s then they were able to put them onto their tree as ornaments. Each child created their trees in a different way and they each had stories to tell along the way.



There are so many other fun ingredients that you can get to make your trees such as pull-apart licorice to wrap around your trees. Or little gummy bears that can stand around the tree. Get creative when making your Holiday Trees.

*Tip: If using sprinkles, it is always easier clean up to put the trees on a paper plate or a big cookie sheet with edges.



The frosting will start to harden as the hours and days go by so enjoy your treat or use them as décor until they go bad.



Happy Holidays!

The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
