and then there were TWO
As you guys can imagine, the transition from having one child to having two is not an easy one. You mix that up with the brand new single mom status and it can be a recipe for some disastrous moments. One of the things I am trying to keep top of mind is that although […]
fall into little Lola style
One of the things that gets me excited about a new season is switching things up in my little one’s closet. Unfortunately, money is an object, as it is with most, and so I can’t completely create a brand new, season-appropriate wardrobe so what do I do? I get creative. I know some parents don’t […]
Mami, I wish you were dead.
Ever think how your sweet-faced angel could be nothing short of perfection? That’s what every parent thinks until they are not. The other night, after a day of rushing, working, caring, and cooking (and all the other in-betweens), we finally make it to the bedtime routine. To say I was exhausted is an understatement, but […]
my Mami arms
Yesterday, as I was showering my toddler using my right hand and holding baby on my left arm, I thought, it’s only right to dedicate a post to my Mami arms. I know it sounds kind of funny, but it wasn’t until I became a mom that I realized the endless things you can do […]
in my feelings
A year ago, I found out I was pregnant with my second child and although the decision to grow my family had been a conscious one, the whirlwind that quickly followed was not. How can I describe this past year without being consumed by the exhaustion that is my every day life. After Luna was […]
hello 2018
In the last few days, my social media feed has been inundated with a great number of motivational statements to kick off the new year. Usually these are something I might enjoy reading but, this year, that does not ring true. Don’t get me wrong, as my holiday pictures will show you, there was fun […]
good bye marriage. hello single mom!
Life has a way of surprising you, showing you things can change from one moment to the other without a clear indication of what’s supposed to come next. You know that terrible feeling of being pushed on your bottom and catching yourself sitting there wondering how you fell? What happened? That’s me… except I don’t […]
dear mommy-to-be…
I am going through pregnancy blues, did I mention, baby #2 is on the way?! These days I am stuck in a thick daze of all-day sickness (because it should NOT be called “morning sickness”), headaches and very low energy while dealing with a non-stop threenager (that’s exactly what she is). In thinking about this […]
mami meet entrepreneur
Aaaaaand we’re back! I cannot believe it has been a bit over a year since my last post. I think I owe you a major catch up… So, remember our move to BK? We made the move primarily so that my sister and I could launch an at-home, Spanish bilingual program for toddlers, which we […]
an afternoon at ShopUp Brooklyn
On Sunday, we made our way to Babyccino Kids’ ShopUp event in Brooklyn and we are so glad we did… it was eye candy for me and super fun for my little Lola. I especially loved that there were so many cool activities that Sofia was able to get herself into… from waving a wand […]
