On the hunt for HOLIDAY DRESSES? I've rounded up the best holiday dresses for a pear shape body!

Well, we’re in the thick of holiday party season.  If your calendar looks anything like mine…..you’re ready for January and a few nights in joggers and sweatshirts!  In the meantime, I wanted to share my favorite holiday dresses for a pear shape body.  These are flattering, comfortable, and total classics (aka you’ll be able to wear them for years to come).  Note, this year……I think a lot of us will be holiday partying on zoom…..and I want to encourage you to still dress up.  There’s something about getting dolled up and celebrating (even if it’s virtual) that will help to lift all our spirits!

The BEST Holiday Dresses for a Pear Shape Body

This wrap dress is the perfect holiday dress for a pear shaped body!

Maxi Wrap Dress: This star print maxi dress is probably my favorite dramatic dress for the holiday season (it also comes in black and is available in plus sizes).  It’s SUPER flattering, and looks amazing in pictures.  For trips to the virtual Nutcracker or fancy holiday parties? It’s my top choice.  Add sparking heels and stud earrings and you’re ready for any formal event!

(Bonus, it’s a GREAT price and comes in a plus size)

    Oh I love the velvet dresses, so special, and they do look good on you. When I’m at a store and I see a dress like this, how I feel I must have it, then try to figure out where I could wear and must come up with something so I can justify it. These are all so pretty and they do flatter your shape so nice. You could be a personal shopper, the best!

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀
