Hi my loves! Hope you all are off to a great week! Today’s post is a personal one, much about Alessandra and tradition. As many of you know I had initially planned to breastfeed for a year, for nutritional benefits but also because it’s one of the most intimate and effective ways to create a bond that will last a lifetime with your baby...
Goodmorning and happy almost Friday babes!! SOOO excited to finally be sharing Alessandra’s 6-month photoshoot!!!! She’s already almost 8 months now but between all the traveling and wedding planning, we’re only now having a chance to share, but we think these photos were worth the wait! ...
Happy Friday my loves!! Today is an exciting day because we're starting to do installs for Alessandra's new nursery in our house! For the past few months, we've been working with an incredibly talented interior designer, Naomi of Little Crown Interiors to transform this space into Alessandra's little oasis. It’s been such a fun and exhilarating project and I can’t wait to reveal this space with you in just a few short weeks!...
Transitioning back to work is no easy task for any mama and can be so emotionally heart wrenching. I was really worried that in me going back to work full time, Alessandra would face separation anxiety, or worse that our bond wouldn’t be as strong...
And the sale continues. And it just gets better! I hope you guys enjoyed my last sale roundup of all things fashion, beauty and home. Now that I've done my shopping, it's all about Ale! Baby girl loves being fashion forward and I'm taking advantage of this sale to stock up on some of my favorite baby essentials. ...
Scent has always been an incredibly powerful thing for me. What I love most about it is that a given sent can take you back to the exact time and place it’s associated with, like a time machine, transport you back into some of your happiest memories with the people you love most. The scent of the first perfume my mother bought me takes me back to our first family trip to Paris...
Happy Tuesday my loves!! Today I'm so excited to be sharing our first family vacation with you! Many of you followed along on our Hawaii trip a few weeks ago! Hawaii has always been my home away from home, most of my family actually lives there, Gabriel and I fell in love there, and Alessandra LOVED it as much as we do!!!!...
My intent was always to breastfeed. With “Breast Is Best” slogans at every turn and it being the main topic of conversation between new moms and mamas-to-be alike, it seemed a given...
Happy Friday my lovelies!! Today I'm finally sharing a very highly requested video..my Birth Story and first few months of being a MOM!! So far motherhood is harder and better than I ever imagined it! Now that Alessandra is 3 months old, I finally feel ready to tell my birth story (spoiler alert, it involves 4 days of labor) ...
Good morning babes!! Hope everyone is off to an amazing 2018! Today I want to share our favorite photos from Alessandra's newborn shoot with the amazingly talented, @pattyothonphotography! I'm so in awe of what she and @rosesandruffles (who creates these beautiful custom backdrops) were able to accomplish when she was only 9 days old! I absolutely love how these photos turned out and can't stop looking at them!
...
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and holiday, surrounded by your loved ones, delicious food, and lots of gifts!! :) Yesterday was our first Christmas as a family of three and it felt so special! Usually I spend the holidays in Hawaii where most of my family lives, but this year...
It’s 12:30am and I’m currently pumping milk for the 5th time today after breastfeeding for almost 4hrs straight! My new life as a MOM! Welcome to the world my babygirl Alessandra Marie Santiago!!!! There’s already nothing I wouldn’t do for you! Most babies come out of the womb screaming, upset, covered in blood and somehow you arrived into this world almost glowing, looking straight up into my eyes and smiling! ...
