Gift Guide – For The Littles

December 9, 2020

for the munchkins and anyone who is young at heart

Even though I created this gift guide specifically for the littles in our lives, I think anyone on your list would love to receive them because they’re all so fun! Let me explain.

Southern and Southwestern spins on best friends Julie and Jesse's favorite recipes!

Valerie Confections are to be personally enjoyed and purchased to share! Spread the joy, so delicious!

Annoying Orange has plush toys! Yours truly plays the voice of Little Sis!

Paper Please has the cutest gifts for the littles including this puzzle

They also have these perfect cards that you can have the kiddos help decorate!

Besides being delicious and nutritious, this bar saves lives

Food Between Friends Cookbook – best friends Julie and Jesse (Julie is my friend and her stories will make you want to cook all the things!) whip together their favorite recipes, putting their own Southern and Southwestern spins on them in this cookbook perfect for your family! Teach ’em how to cook young, let them help you put the ingredients together, and share time in the kitchen with them … this is still one of my favorite things to do with Corrine. Available now for pre-order, March 9th is the day! I’m including it now because this kind of gift is perfect for any time of year

Annoying Orange plush toys – pssst, did you know that yours truly is the voice of Lil Sis, Annoying Orange’s little sister?! I represent other characters in the YouTube series and have been friends with the creators for over 10 years now. I’m so proud to include them in my gift guide and what they’ve accomplished, and I know your little (or your friends) would be proud to have a plush toy like this around. Squishiesss are all the rage

Valerie Confections – the most decadent of treats, this local treasure was founded by chocolatier Valerie Gordon and her partner Stan Weightman Jr. A perfect gift for the littles under the tree this year and anyone who loves a sweet treat! She’s also offering holiday menus if you live in the Los Angeles area, check it out

Paper Please stationary and gifts – founded by my friends Christine & Friedia, this local stationary shop has all of your paper needs and adorable gifts to include this holiday season. I especially love their puzzles, books, and sticker sets that you can decorate together with your little ones. Get artsy!

This Saves Lives treats – besides being delicious and nutritious, this bar saves lives. With every purchase from This Saves Lives you send a packet of life-saving food to a child in need, providing a packet of powerful peanut paste full of vitamins and nutrients specifically made to treat severe acute malnutrition. I really wanted to include this philanthropic company because … what a wonderful way to get your kiddos to eat well than to present it to them in this most beautiful packaging! I’ve had almost every one of their snack bars and I’m here to tell you that when you purchase a box for the littles, purchase a box for yourself too

And there you have it! The last of my gift guides this holiday season, I have one more treat for you coming up this Friday. I really wanted to showcase my friend’s companies, highlight local businesses to support, and encourage everyone to shop small when you can. Me love you.

Will this be for him, for her, for the littles, or for the ones that have it all?

Welcome! I’m Jess, I was a teen mom turned full-time lifestyle blogger and content creator. I started this blog about 8 years ago because I love sharing my life with you. Today, my daughter Corrine and I travel around sharing our foodie adventures and style selects. I talk about my mom life, the realness of relationships, the reality of having a 23 year old daughter (hey empty nest syndrome), and my work as a wellness Coach. We’ll cook together, cry together and sweat together. I’ll be your dessert enabler and fellow skincare addict. Let’s eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff. Love, Mama Lizama <3

For all my fellow wine lovers, let’s purchase with purpose with this limited release RBG collection. I’m proud to have teamed up with a company that’s DOING and not just saying. They’re on a greater mission, with $10 from every 3-pack of this collection sold being donated to the @nationalwomenslawcenter. They’re doing more than just making exceptional wines... up on JessLizama.com now

@teneralcellars supports organizations that work to create equality and equity for all women in a traditionally white, male-dominated industry and are proud to create opportunities and inclusion. Not only is the messaging and packaging behind this brand so bold and beautiful, but so are their wines. I’ve linked you to this Teneral Wines collection {in my bio}. Honored to sip and shop with purpose alongside you <3

If only I had a longer arm. My selfies would inclu If only I had a longer arm. My selfies would include more of my head. I like my head and my forehead too, which I tried to cover up when I was 12 with bangs and Sun In... I also accidentally burned my sister’s upper lip bc she didn’t want me to wax her stache that she didn’t like even though we all have that peach fuzz

Moral of the story... love everything about yourself. You eventually grow out of the awkward stage. But I still wish my arm was longer... so

PS there’s nothin wrong with your body hair or your forehead ❤️

He’s currently curled up in my lap, puppy prozac is working to ease his separation anxiety when we aren’t home and he’s over being smushed by my kisses. But today he gets a treat... sleep all day baby boiiii.. though it’s the norm... I’ll ask you to get a job tomorrow

nothing about my outfit makes sense... there’s a lot happening in the world that doesn’t make sense. let’s be kind a one another. and not hoard the tp or lysol wipes. and not be violent towards someone bc you believe an actor who has a hot cheeto head. we are all immigrants here. we are all doing our part for humanity and community. can we continue to do thatttt please.

In it together. @laceystonefitness you’re my Pri In it together. @laceystonefitness you’re my Prince Charming, the most beautiful girl, and the most handsomest love. Happy anniversary. You took me by complete surprise

I knew you’d be special and that this love would be great…but NOT LIKE THIS!  You are the most tender, present, artistic, kind, sweet, empathetic, talented, funny, intelligent, and silliest bean. My most perfect human bean and I love you.

Wow, what a bold move I made to lean in for a kiss a year ago… a hot kiss turned love of a lifetime. Thank you for living in a fairy tale with me. You and me. Me and you (and Corrine & Quinn) One year behind us and the rest of forever in front of us ❤️
