here comes halloween
If there’s one thing my girl squad shares is our love for holidays, events and parties. I guess it makes sense for my little FOMO-having little ones to enjoy it all as much as I do… I mean, they are mine. Sometimes people ask me how do I have the energy for certain activities but, […]
representation
Last week, my sister and I celebrated little Lola & tots’ 4 year anniversary and the release of our book, Travel Con Lola to la República Dominicana. With our celebration came an opportunity for a spotlight on Pix 11 News, as part of their Hispanic Heritage feature – check it out here. When we got […]
back to school send off
Hola! I know it has been a bit since I last posted. I cannot believe we’re already in the midst of the most anticipated time of year for us parents, “Back to School” time. I know most of us have been waiting for this day since March 2020 and, while dealing with mixed feelings of […]
hello vacation!
Wynwood Street Art Hola! It’s been a little while so let’s catch up. Back in March, I did something crazy… after much back and forth, I planned a short getaway to a beach destination with a girlfriend. It took some time trying to decide whether I should take my kids or not. This year has […]
expectations
PXL_20210302_012243964.PORTRAIT.jpg This past Monday was my eldest daughter’s birthday and with every birthday comes many bittersweet sentiments tied to how fast time is moving. In order to make her day extra special, I put my feelings to the side and proposed that, for the first time post separation, we all go out to dinner as […]
single mama dating
If you’re a single parent you know that dating is rough… and I don’t mean this because of a lack of possible suitors, I’m referring to the juggling act that happens in order to make alone time a real possibility. As an entrepreneur navigating a pandemic and managing remote learning without co-parenting help, it’s definitely […]
anti racist parenting
Ever since we launched little Lola & tots back in 2016, the message has been clear – we believe in diversity and inclusion. I think that lately we hear those words A LOT and many believe them to be interchangeable when they are not. The idea behind our programming is one that aligns with my […]
and we’re back, community!
It has been quite some time, I know. Last you heard from me, I was figuring out this single, mompreneur life while finding the rhythm to being a mother of two. Guess what? I am still there! I guess we can all agree parenthood is like that, a constant ebb and flow where you are […]
strong women raise strong women
Happy New Year! I know it’s been a little while since my last post but will you forgive this single mama whose holiday hit her hard. While I want to just blame the overwhelming emotions that slapped me at the close of 2018, it was the taking care of two sick kids for two weeks […]
it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
You know how the holiday season can illicit an array of emotions… on one hand, happiness and good cheer and, on the other, stress and nostalgia… welcome to my world for the past few weeks. This past weekend, I finally tackled some Christmas shopping which, contrary to what one might think, I actually really do […]
