<i>A huge thank you to our guest blogger Nicole C. Ayers for sharing her journey and generous invitation to the launch party for her three beautiful books. </i><br />
<br />
Several years ago, I realized I wasn't okay. I was experiencing anxious thoughts and having nightmares, and old wounds I thought I'd buried were showing up in unexpected places.<br />
<br />
I made a commitment to myself to make things better. And silly me, I assumed that learning to meditate would do the trick just fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meditation certainly helped, but it wasn't the cure-all I thought it would be. So I went on a journey of self-discovery and realized that I didn't like myself very much, especially my body. When I acknowledged her at all, it was to berate her for her wrongness. She was the wrong size and shape and weight and ability and look . . . and the list went on and on.<br />
<br />
I was horrified when I became aware of just how cruel I was to my body. I have two daughters (ages twelve and ten), and I would be heartbroken if they shamed their bodies the way I was shaming mine. But that’s what I was teaching them without even meaning to.<br />
<br />
I wanted to change my relationship with my body, and I needed something practical to do.<br />
<br />

I've always enjoyed writing notes to people, and writing is how I process my thoughts and feelings. I decided I'd begin to write love notes to my body and all her parts as a daily journaling practice because it's awfully hard to hate something when you're sweet-talking it in a love note.<br />
<br />
Over the course of months, I wrote hundreds of love notes to my body parts from my crow's feet to my pinky toe. Sometimes my notes were full of love and gratitude. And sometimes they were full of pain and grief. Anger, even. But they were always a real conversation with my body.<br />
<br />
The transformation was liberating. Body parts I'd thought I hated, I now cherished. I appreciated my body in a way I'd never experienced. And while I still struggled to love some of my parts, I was finally able to accept all of them.<br />
<br />
One of the best parts of my transformation is the extra energy I now have to experience joy and be creative, energy that used to be spent on trying to make myself fit into society’s definition of “good enough.”'<br />
<br />

Of course there are days when that mean little voice cranks up with the nastygrams again, days when I’ve taken an unflattering photo, had a yucky dressing-room experience, or just struggled with my reflection in the bathroom mirror. But those moments are less frequent now, and when that voice shows up, trying to make me feel ashamed of my body, I can usually catch her after just a few minutes and shush her. Because I’ve written so many love notes to my body, it’s the most natural thing to place my hands on my heart and send myself love.<br />
<br />
I’ve realized that decades of conditioning around what makes an “ideal” body is going to take time to unlearn. This process to appreciate my body exactly as she is will be a lifelong journey because she will continue to change as I age and experience life.<br />
<br />
I love the simplicity of writing love notes to my body, though, because it’s a practice I can revisit whenever and wherever I need to. And it’s a tool that my daughters now have to combat messages that tell them they are anything other than perfect, just as they are. I can’t silence the mean little voices in their minds, but I can teach them how to silence it themselves.<br />
<br />

Nicole C. Ayers has been playing with words as long as she can remember. While she's held many jobs in her life, including stints as a server, camp counselor, telemarketer, print shop lackey, bartender, and teacher, editing at Ayers Edits was her favorite, because she combined her love of reading with the fun of wordplay, until she added writer to this list. Now it would be hard to convince her there’s anything better than telling her own stories.<br />
<br />
Nicole has written three body-positive companion books (SPARK Publications, February 2020) about her journey to accept and love her body: <i>Love Notes to My Body; Love Letters to My Body: Writing My Way to (Self-)Love</i>; <i>Writing Your Way to (Self-)Love: A Guided Journal to Help You Love Your Body</i>, <i>One Part at a Time</i>. She is available for speaking engagements also.<br />
<br />
Nicole lives in South Carolina with her brilliant and brave daughters, her best friend and husband, a goofy dog, a long-suffering tortoise, and the occasional fish.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Synopsis: </b>Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen 2” has melted hearts around the world, becoming the No. 1 animated feature of all time. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the follow-up to 2013’s hit Oscar®-winning Best Animated Feature, “Frozen,” comes home, with a sing-along version and all-new extras. “Frozen 2” bonus features include deleted scenes, deleted songs, Easter eggs, outtakes and a sing-along version with lyrics to the film’s forever-infectious songs. Extras invite viewers to go behind-the-scenes to hear personal, making-of stories from the “Frozen 2” cast and crew. Fans who bring the film home early on Digital will receive two exclusive extras: an interview with songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who won an Oscar® for Best Original Song (“Let It Go,” 2014) and wrote seven original songs for “Frozen 2,” and a deleted song titled “Unmeltable Me.”<u></u><u></u></span></div>

I asked her how she wanted to spend her birthday and she said by being dressed as a princess, riding a unicorn, on a rainbow! Yes- this is four, and I'm soaking up every last minute of this magical, pink and glittery taffeta speck in time.<br />
<br />

Since booking a unicorn on a rainbow was just out of the realm of possibilities, we figured that we could knock this LAST 4th birthday party out of the park by inviting one of the perfectly princess talents from <a href="https://www.enchantedfairytaleparties.com/" target="_blank">Enchanted Fairytale Parties</a> in Charlotte (and Miami, FL) to celebrate our littlest big girl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Her favorite princess is Ariel, because she's a feisty red head just like her! Booking Ariel through <a href="https://www.enchantedfairytaleparties.com/" target="_blank">Enchanted Fairytale Parties</a> was a breeze! We got to select her outfit - traditional princess dress or fin and shell top. When she arrived the look on all the four year old's faces were PRICELESS!<br />

Ariel greeted the birthday girl and her guests and led them in a sing-along of her most famous song.<br />

Next she invited all our guests to join her in how mermaids in Atlantica celebrate
birthdays, with dancing, games, reading books - and a conga line!<br />

After all the fun, was more fun as we sang Happy Birthday and bid farewell to Ariel as she swam back to sing with her sisters under the sea.<br />

Raising three toddlers has placed me center-stage to the very real,
very BIG feelings tiny humans experience. Engaging children in shows
and story lines that model different ways to handle these big emotions
is why Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has been a staple in our house. My
kids connect with Daniel Tiger and his friends and watch and learn as
each episode helps kids to better understand their own feelings and the
feelings of their friends and loved ones.</div>

When
I told my three-year-old that Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Live - King
for a Day, was coming to Charlotte at Oven's Auditorium on Sunday April
7th - her eyes lit up with excitement! She promptly asked if he would
pick her up on his <b><i>own</i></b> red trolley or if we would need to
buy a ticket for the green one she had seen uptown. The imagination of a
three-year-old is endless and inquisitive - this is why she is going to
love it when Daniel Tiger and his friends from the Neighborhood of Make
Believe come to life before her eyes on stage.<br />

If your family hasn't been rooting for the super-hero like competitors from your couch - it's a silly, high energy show. <br />
<br />
When we saw the ninja obstacle course that Adventure Air Sports in Rock Hill opened, each member of our family wanted to give it a try. From littlest bits to Dad, they all got a chance to test out their own ninja skills on the obstacles. This obstacle course is legit! My husband was able to make it through the first portion but the upper body strength required for the rest was beyond everyone's ability. We got lots of laughs and some cute photos. <br />

In addition to their killer ninja obstacle course, they also have a TON of trampoline options and So. Many. Foam. Pits. My kids loved the trapeze, zip line, and battle area. I enjoyed going toe-to-toe with my husband over the foam pits. Our 3 year old was getting down to the beats while bouncing all around. They also offer a SUPER tramp - a trampoline with a lot more give for daredevils. </div>

<br />
I stood in my local Michael's craft store reading and contemplating the FUN versus MESS factor of their new product Goblies. Washable paint for water guns. I've always wanted to go to a paint gun range - but the potential welts from high powered guns had always turned me off. I'd never seen a product like this for family fun. <br />
<br />

<br />
The idea of a water gun paint battle in our backyard sounded like SO much summer fun - but I've been known to drink the Koolaid when it comes to ideas that SOUND fun but end up being a hot mess. Would everything get stained? Who would get hurt? Would we all look like a bad tie-dye incident for the rest of the summer? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05f-7NB0TVV6NxA0OxVUVgvtrkYofZKoc-EtoZKdI6sQs7tPrDTUaCm3Ejvch9dA3UXrdzGm-77Yu2U5_cvRtmUnfbEttd05xyKVy_HBxPbLgQZ1D2gebT5TwtI44Rw_8JejKoIh-80M/s1600/gun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05f-7NB0TVV6NxA0OxVUVgvtrkYofZKoc-EtoZKdI6sQs7tPrDTUaCm3Ejvch9dA3UXrdzGm-77Yu2U5_cvRtmUnfbEttd05xyKVy_HBxPbLgQZ1D2gebT5TwtI44Rw_8JejKoIh-80M/s320/gun.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I hesitantly put a few colors into my cart. They were on the best sale that I'd seen (under $5 each) and it seemed like a great way to celebrate my son's summer birthday with the family. We swung by the dollar tree and picked up squirt guns 3 for $1. I also bought a giant syringe to help load the guns with paint.<br />
<br />

<br />
We set up teams and invited everyone to wear shirts that were ok to be destroyed, in case the washable claims didn't play out. Armed with our paint filled guns, an array of sunglasses to provide some eye protection, music, paper towels, towels and a hose to wash off any collateral damage we headed outside for a battle of fun!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivG11QYyNz6lARgIEiKhiNJYWeSm0TzltjvcJgsgmYue_XDq9dMnvXkJqUKnrkQa4a53EUHlBOd9dOEBakrkKz01vEa30Tcu0MHxzTZZRcE1DQXG2w5GKTexdghA46gkt8e8j20Xu_Yio/s1600/paintgungroup.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivG11QYyNz6lARgIEiKhiNJYWeSm0TzltjvcJgsgmYue_XDq9dMnvXkJqUKnrkQa4a53EUHlBOd9dOEBakrkKz01vEa30Tcu0MHxzTZZRcE1DQXG2w5GKTexdghA46gkt8e8j20Xu_Yio/s320/paintgungroup.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It was an awesome experience. Everyone got covered in colors and luckily everything that the paint touched washed off easily, including my stamped concrete patio, patio chairs, play house and water table. After a soapy shower the color came easily off of our skin as well.<br />
<br />
This isn't a sponsored or paid ad, just something my family enjoyed. As always, I only share what I love - and the price point, happy shrieks and smiles from everyone was a win-win for this experience. <br />

Mommy hood has blessed me with many hours of cuddles and laughs - but it
hasn't allocated me a whole lot of mommy maintenance time. If we've
met, one of the first things you'll probably notice is that I smile a
lot - so giving myself a whiter brighter smile has been on my to-do list
for months now.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
As I investigated my whitening options I was running into roadblocks.
The dentist required several hours during the middle of the work week
coupled by a hefty price tag. I was barely fitting in work, dinner and
quality time with the kids as we shuffled from soccer to t-ball.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Store-bought strips had only offered mild whitening improvement in the past, plus my teeth were <i><b>so</b></i>
sensitive after use. I needed something to help me combat tooth
staining from my lifeblood intake of coffee and occasional glass of red
wine. I needed an at-home, budget friendly, <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/product/teeth-whitening-trays#momaboutcharlotte" target="_blank">sensitive teeth system</a>. The
future of my smile was looking dim (and stained). </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Luckily, I discovered <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/#momaboutcharlotte" target="_blank">Smile Brilliant</a>.
Smile Brilliant provides an at-home whitening system that can address
staining and sensitive teeth. Their system is sold in tiers - offering
something for everyone including products for light, average and heavy
staining. The price point was affordable, ranging from $139-$189 total! </div>
<div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
The box arrived with everything I needed to restore my brighter, whiter
summer smile - with easy to use step-by-step instructions. I mixed the
base and catalyst clays together to make my impressions, and waited 5
minutes for the mold to harden! The entire process from opening, reading
instructions and impressions took about 20-30 minutes. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
It was an easy process, and I was able to email Smile Brilliant a
picture of my molds to ensure they were done correctly before shipping
them back in the pre-paid envelope. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
I received an email that my top impression needed to be re-done and the
next day I did the top impression again, confirmed it was correct and
popped them in the mail. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
</div>
<div>
About a week and a half later my <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/product/teeth-whitening-trays#momaboutcharlotte" target="_blank">whitening trays</a> arrived and I was ready
to whiten! I did 3 treatments in 2 weeks for 75 minutes each as I
watched TV with my husband. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
I noticed a remarkable difference and only used a tiny bit of the
whitening and <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/product/sensitive-teeth-gel#momaboutcharlotte" target="_blank">desensitizing gel</a> that was included. My pearly whites were
significantly whiter and I didn't experience the tooth sensitivity like
I have in the past. Honestly I feel like the pictures don't really do
the difference justice. I'm very pleased with my results and have more
gels to continue touching up throughout the year. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
After reaching out to Smile Brilliant I was asked to participate in a
review, so I received the system at no cost. As always with my blog, I
only share what I love - and I feel that you will be just as happy with
your <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/teeth-whitening-facts#momaboutcharlotte" target="_blank">whitening results</a> as I am. Plus - if you're not - they offer a 100%
money back guarantee. I love a company that stands behind the quality
of their products.<br />

If you're a mom like me, with kids like mine you're all too familiar with the stress and time suck that getting dinner on the table each night creates.<br />
<br />
It's my least favorite time of day - trying to figure out what to make, prepping and cooking while answering questions, breaking up squabbles and staving off the pleas of near-death-hunger from the kids as they beg for a snack.<br />
<br />
"It's ALMOST done guys!" I lie through my teeth as I start thawing the chicken. There has got to be an easier, healthy way that doesn't include going out to dinner or drive-thru food - and there is. <br />
<br />
Recently I was invited to <a href="https://dreamdinners.com/main.php?page=store&id=209" target="_blank">Dream Dinners in Fort Mill</a> where Suzanne and staff showed me how to wake up from my nightmare-like dinner rut, and start dreaming with their easy wholesome, tasty meal prep. <a href="https://dreamdinners.com/main.php?page=store&id=209" target="_blank">Dream Dinner's mission</a> is to bring families back together around the dinner table, so they can connect and enjoy dinner time together.<br />
<br />

<br />
The process is easy. Order your meals online in 3 or 6 serving increments from the monthly meals list - I had a hard time choosing from all the tasty sounding dishes! Stop by the store and put all your meals together in freezer bags or baking pans to place in your freezer. The night before your dinner pop the meal in the fridge, arrive home to fire up the oven or stove and follow their easy cooking instructions, dinner's ready and delicious in 20-40 minutes.<br />

Next, you work your way around the prep kitchen - note there is ZERO chopping, slicing or frustration. Follow the color coded list on the recipe. You'll have both pre-measured ingredients and ingredients you use the color coded measuring tools to place into your bag.<br />

Load up all your bags with their simple cooking instructions, pop them in the freezer - and you're DONE. Y'all - I felt accomplished. I prepped 5 meals in less than 30 minutes. What will I do with all that extra pre-dinner time?!<br />

I can't help but feel anticipation as we fully embrace fall. The apple picking, the pumpkin spice everything filling the air - and of course, my favorite holiday - Halloween.<br />
<br />
Our neighborhood is a great place to live, lots of young families who are always busy and bringing in the FUN. A few years ago our neighbors introduced me to the Halloween tradition of being BOO-ED.<br />
<br />
The kids and I were getting ready to head up for bath and bed time when the door bell rang. We answered it to find a plastic pumpkin head filled with Halloween goodies and a print out with instructions on how to participate in the neighborhood BOO-ING.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY4o0m951qfgWi_NB3Fk6HXdqWddjNnQwFPFivSC8ZsnDKt1DEwkxOSF7HplgahHx_UwgzKRKFBuvco5v0khgO-kWMZyU5C_p378xegLJugvvxWG0cRArEIM9kkvmVnlT8Hl5nNNiPj8/s640/blogger-image-368703332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY4o0m951qfgWi_NB3Fk6HXdqWddjNnQwFPFivSC8ZsnDKt1DEwkxOSF7HplgahHx_UwgzKRKFBuvco5v0khgO-kWMZyU5C_p378xegLJugvvxWG0cRArEIM9kkvmVnlT8Hl5nNNiPj8/s400/blogger-image-368703332.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It said "You've Been BOO-ED!" The kids were delighted at the idea that our neighborhood ghosts and goblins had chosen us to participate in this fun Halloween tradition. After the kids poured over their loot - halloween stickers, pumpkin pencils, glow-in the dark necklaces and plastic spider rings we posted the right hand side of the instruction sheet up on the front door "We've Been BOO-ED" to let our neighbors know that we'd been properly haunted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWxmOp7VNd2ge-nDMeeR0OuuJnUmcAu9qEa1RtrkeFkvKrdbsa_HDaKgGBUOcKthIemc9E1aCBSPWRf3E4u9k6fSCuKTzp1cn2TABucxB9OHhPpDIfROh8clInmfwyGdUX-j2ohIkrEM/s1600/Booed+Color.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWxmOp7VNd2ge-nDMeeR0OuuJnUmcAu9qEa1RtrkeFkvKrdbsa_HDaKgGBUOcKthIemc9E1aCBSPWRf3E4u9k6fSCuKTzp1cn2TABucxB9OHhPpDIfROh8clInmfwyGdUX-j2ohIkrEM/s320/Booed+Color.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next we chose two neighborhood families to BOO, printed out two of the instruction sheets and hit the store. Each of my kids picked out a few halloween-themed items to add to our witches cauldrons. Went out just around dusk (not too late!), placed our filled cauldrons on the neighbor's stoop, rang their door bell and all ran off like we were ghosts!! </div>

Well maybe not THOU$AND$, but my Amazon cart can get pretty weighty as I load it with evenly measured amounts of necessary house hold products and a some random mud/clay mask I read a blog about how to do an underarm detox with.

So when my long time friend from New York Antoinett and her family came to visit the Queen City for the weekend I wanted to give her the ultimate showcase tour of Charlotte. I won't lie - I have ulterior motives and high hopes that once they allow the beauty of Charlotte to settle in they will join in the migration South!<br />

I wanted to guide them through the beautiful parks, trails and festivals speckled across the Queen City, but it was about 90 degrees in the shade, and they were looking for a more temperature-friendly option. One of my favorite places to bring company with young kids, especially when it's CLT-HOT is Sea Life in Concord. Not only is it perfectly air conditioned, they have over 5,000 creatures to visit and view in their 117,000 gallon ocean tank, plus Antoinett and I could get some shopping in at the Concord Mills Outlet Mall when we finished our aquatic adventure.<br />

The colors and vibrancy of Sea Life makes you feel like you're stepping into a totally nautical world. Her 10 and 6-year-old loved the touch pool where they were able to explore sea stars and urchins hands-on. There were many oohs and ahhs as we walked through the Shoaling exhibit where thousands of Pilchards circled around us like a NASCAR race. It's quite a mesmerizing experience. </div>

I think the kid's favorite was the coral reef, this is where the ocean tanks stretch to the ceiling, and sharks and fish swim overhead as you walk through the middle of the coral reef. </div>

With the heat of summer and the fun of house guests, a trip to <a href="https://www.visitsealife.com/charlotte-concord/" target="_blank">Sea Life</a> is a great way to escape, enjoy and make memories all in a comfortable, educational and fun-filled aquatic setting. </div>

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and with Charlotte expecting the 90's it's a great opportunity to explore <a href="https://www.visitsealife.com/charlotte-concord/" target="_blank">Sea Life</a>!<br />
<br />
Tuesdays are Toddler Tuesdays where you can break up the long summer weeks and save money. When you buy a full priced ($15 now) adult ticket you get one child ticket for FREE on Tuesdays. Additional children are $5 up to 5 kids. It's a great play date meet up spot!</div>
