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. Each of my girls, with their unique personalities and in varying developmental stages, has required a different approach to […]
Some women choose single mamahood. For others, single mamahood chooses them. In my case, it happened to choose me. Life has a special way of giving you exactly what you need even if it’s hard to see at the moment. Six years ago, if you were to have asked me whether I thought separation and, […]
With the spring season comes change and in very “on brand” style, we decided to embrace a full on business move and pivot on our business model. I must admit, I’ve been a little removed from the blog but I promise it’s for good reason. After 4+ years, we bid farewell to little Lola & […]
Just a month ago I realized how real PTSD can be. While we were dealing with the quick spread of Omicron over the holidays, I quickly caught major flashbacks of the anxiety that had first taken over at the onset of the pandemic. Classrooms started shutting down and quarantines became mandatory but we were all […]
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, […]
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.

The other night, I went on a Wegman’s run and those close to me know that I do enjoy an hour or two walking the aisles pondering over snack choices and gluten-free items to try… and don’t get me started on the assortment of cheeses. One thing I don’t enjoy though is squeezing this therapeutic […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
