“the talks”

As a Latina, single mama of three chicas, I’m quickly learning that addressing topics related to sexuality is a journey, not “a” conversation. It’s one filled with sensitivity, intention and, to be honest, lots of fear.

When Luna shared that she wished for an “Under the Sea” themed birthday party this year, in typical Natalie fashion, I created my Pinterest board and the creative juices started flowing.

Classrooms started shutting down and quarantines became mandatory but we were all […]

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, […]
