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.

Use coupon SMALLBUSINESSFOUNDATIONS at checkout to save over 80% on this life-changing positive parenting education program. (yes, I said over 80%!) * Expires 12/1 at midnight pt.

Tickets to our Live In Person ‘Personal Liberation’ Course (happening in San Diego, California March 21-23rd) are $200 off through Sunday night 12/1. Use code FTBSMALLBIZ at checkout.

Come to the beach to meet me in person and spend the weekend in the classroom for an incredible weekend of healing, growth and transformation. Grab your ticket during this special Small Biz Sat. Weekend promotion now!

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 14) 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 great deals 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 Promo Code: FRESHSTARTFAMILY

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 – but hurry, ends tonight! Legoland tickets would be a great gift to couple with a trip to San Diego for our Freedom to Be Personal Liberation Weekend Course!

Legoland also has locations in Florida and New York (as well as a few other worldwide!) – so check out this awesome deal for a location that works for you!

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!

Flecks of Gold Journal – This one is the sweetest gift for your best momma friend, sister, cousin, etc. as it’s a simple daily journal to write down one beautiful moment you experienced with your children (i.e. a funny comment from your toddler, a meaningful bedtime conversation with your teenager, or a relaxing moment of connection with your partner).
