budget birthday tip

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. Little did I know, how crazy the last couple of weeks would be and how tapped out I would actually feel. Let’s rewind on […]

super mom

So as some of you know, I was nominated for a competition and I’ve been incessantly asking for support via votes to keep me in the running for a chance to win the title of “Super Mom.” I find myself asking, what does this title mean to me and how am I to be chosen […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
