From the free to the luxe, this is what she really wants. Here are my picks for the 5 best Mother’s Day gifts:…

How It Started VS How Its Going With 3 Under 5

How It Started VS How Its Going With 3 Under 5

Whenever I am asked if having three kids is hard, I say it is a lot, but in a good way. The hardest adjustment for me, if I am being honest, was going from having no children to having one. This sounds insane to anyone, except people with two children.

3 Women Who Inspire Me

3 Women Who Inspire Me

Happy International Women’s Day! Today is not only a celebration of all of the achievements of all women worldwide, and it is also a day to acknowledge and bring awareness to gender inequality.

In Two

In Two

My daughter Raquel turns two today. The duality of every thought and feeling about today is unshakable. It was both the fastest and the slowest two years. She is my third child, so the first year seemed to fast forward amidst the hustle of our lives, while the second year seemed to move in slow motion during quarantine and our now diluted days.…

Why We Decided To Have A Third Baby

Why We Decided To Have A Third Baby

When you tell most people you’re having your first baby, they typically say, “congratulations!” When you have your second baby, it’s usually the same. When you’re having your third, you might hear “I got a guy” or questions along the lines of “was it planned,” or even a “you’re insane.” I have to acknowledge the privilege I’ve been granted in life to be able to grow our family. While it took years for us to have our first child, we’ve…
