My breastfeeding Journey with my first, Nico, was an absolute fail. Actually, scratch that. I am so proud of that journey too.  My first was never able to latch, I pumped for 6 months, and I did mix-feeding with him as my supply kept going down month by month. Looking back it was more exhausting and draining. I hated the pressure of not producing enough milk. I hated pumping. I hated the cables around me. I hated spending hours connected to a machine that could be better spent doing other things (lke holding and bonding with my baby). When I found out I was pregnant with my second ..read more

 Sponsored by Hair Food. All opinions are my own. In 2020, I started a process of self-love and accepting my curls.  When I was young, I was very self-conscious about them. I felt I didn’t look professional or pretty enough. I stopped straightening my hair, I got my first curly cut, and I switched all my hair products. I switched to Hair Food because it is free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and they are cruelty free. They also give my curls the hydration they need. You can also see my other curly articles here: All my curly hair secrets revealed. My detailed curly routine ..read more

Wow. It’s been 8 months and I’m finally sitting down to write a bit more about my second pregnancy.  I wrote Nico’s birth story within a few weeks, it’s definitely so different with the second kid- whenever, I have a moment, I just try to spend them with either of them! Here is the pregnancy announcement, from a year ago (oops! I am so sorry). I really miss writing in this blog! But before I write about Leo’s delivery…let’s start from the beginning. Leo wasn’t 100% planned as Nico. We have always wanted two kids, but the pandemic started when Nico was about 1.5 years old, and our pl ..read more

Almost a year ago,  I wrote an article about "Are We Ready For Baby #2?". We definitely have been ready for another baby for a while, but the pandemic changed our plans and we were just going with the flow. Since I haven't shared the news here on the blog,  let me just share it here too! A few days after my birthday in October,  I found out I was pregnant. It was a bit of a shock because we weren't necessarily TRYING (not being too careful either).  You can  see Gabe's reaction in the video on IG. It was such a sweet reaction! We waited a lot to share it, I ..read more

 *Sponsored by QVC and ShopStyle Collective. This post includes affiliate links. All opinions are my own.*  Last month, I told you all about how we started a little gym corner after getting an amazing deal on this compact treadmill from QVC. We still have so much to do around the house and my bedroom is definitely nowhere done. However, I’ve been eyeing some pieces to spice up my vanity and there was this mirror with multi magnification and storage, it also comes in silver but rose gold is more of the vibe I’m going for. I also really liked that the base has a storage perfect ..read more

 I was invited by  The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel for a fun *and safe* family road trip  to this beautiful area. I got so many questions via Instagram and I want to share all the details about where we stayed, where we ate, where we went, and more. Because of the current worldwide pandemic, I personally do not feel comfortable traveling by plane- especially with a two year old. However, I love the idea of driving to another city in your state, changing the scenery, supporting local business and tourism, and enjoying life while still being safe. The drive to Fort Mye ..read more
