Tis the season for holiday shopping! 🎁 🎁 🎁

Christmas & Hanukkah are coming, so why not take advantage of some great Black Friday / Small Business Saturday deals this weekend to get some of your shopping done while helping your wallet stay well padded!

Here are some of my favorite things that make great presents for your kids, extended family or spouse … and of course, some of our most popular Fresh Start Family programs that are on special promotion this weekend to celebrate Small Business Saturday!

Starting off with our FSF Shop – this is a compilation of my fave books & positive parenting resources I’ve collected over the years.

When I interview an expert I love for the Fresh Start Family Show, I always add their book here & this page also includes some of my fave teaching tools (that double as fun toys for kids & make great logical consequence activities too).

Grab some books, breathe balls, or emotional literacy puppets to gift your kids. They’ll not only love the gift, but learn valuable lessons too when you couple them with Fresh Start Family teaching & discipline tools!

Foundations Course – The best investment you’ll ever make in your family legacy!

My signature full positive parenting program is usually $497 but is only $97 in celebration of Small Business Saturday.

Troomi KidSafe Phone – I know you’re thinking about giving your child an iphone for Christmas (or a hand me down iphone atleast), but DO NOT DO IT. Go a kid-safe phone route & you’ll thank me later, trust me!

My lil guy (now 13) still uses a Troomi device (kid-safe phone) and he loves how he can still listen to spotify music and we love how we don’t have to worry about the internet on his device. This weekend, new customers get a FREE phone, so run to grab one of these devices for your kids. Click HERE & Use code FRESHSTART

Gabb Kid Safe Phones & Watches – Another great option for kid-safe phones that are also offering a free phone this weekend. Gabb devices (phones & watches) are easy to use & best of all simple, just text & phone calls, no internet, no apps, hooray! – Click HERE & use code FRESHSTARTFAMILY

Kids can collect all different kinds of stories from Disney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, How to Train a Dragon, National Geographic, etc. Use code: BLACKFRIDAY25 for 25% off through this weekend!

Legoland Experience Trip or Season Pass – Experience gifts are the BEST for kids. They will probably lose interest in the dollhouse or teenage mutant turtle figurines in a few months, but they will NEVER forgot a trip to a destination w/ their momma & dada.

For years when my kids were little, one of their biggest gift was a season pass to Legoland. They’ve long outgrown this gift, but I can’t say enough nice things about this amusement park that I spent many years jogging around & enjoying with my littles. Click HERE for special Black Friday weekend offers. Legoland tickets would be a great gift to couple with a trip to San Diego for our Freedom to Be Personal Liberation Weekend Course!

San Diego Zoo – Along the same lines as Legoland, my parents would get my kids a season pass every year during the first decade of their life & it was AWESOME. Our zoo is just spectacular, and another great trip to plan in combo with tickets to our Freedom to Be Weekend Course. Bring a nanny, or little cousin, or niece & have them take the kids sightseeing while you enjoy Freedom to Be!

Tushy Bidets – Laugh all you want, but this is a GREAT gift for family members, trust me! Ever since we stayed at a fancy Japanese hotel in Cabo, MX (that we got to enjoy at a discount since our friend manages it!) … and experienced luxury bidets, we’ve been slightly obsessed as a family with finding an affordable version to bring into our house & this is the female founded company we’ve fallen in love with.

Not only are their bidets affordable add ons to any toilet, they take under 15 min. to install & have hilarious easy to understand / how-to instructions. I can see this being the best gift for a spouse that will have you both giggling but also loving your potty experience! We just got one for Grandma who is having shoulder surgery next week. Bring on the enjoyable potty going! 30% off during Black Friday weekend – use code : ADDTOFART 🤣

Eden’s Garden – The research is pretty incredible around how essential oils can aid in nervous system regulation & mood enhancing efforts. I like this woman founded small business because their oils are pure & totally affordable.
