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! ...
You guys!! Today I'm so excited to finally reveal my nursery for Baby Santiago! I couldn't be happier to partner up with Disney Baby to create this pretty nursery space for our babygirl :) Growing up, I had so many amazing memories with Disney so I can't wait to carry-on this tradition for our baby and I know she will be a big Disney fan like her mama! Now that the space is finally done, I'm feeling so prepared..so anyday now, I'm ready for you baby girl!...
Good morning babes!! I can't believe I'm just two short weeks away from my due date..I'm honestly feeling like I could pop any day now!! At this point, I've slowed down and will be spending the next couple weeks at home in my comfy clothes :) Coming into the pregnancy, one of the main things I said to myself was not to lose my sense of style in the process and learn how to adjust to my changing body.....
My baby's almost here!! I'm officially 3 weeks away from my due date..so crazy to be saying that! Watch our pregnancy journey during Weeks 32-36, plus see video from our Baby Shower, our Halloween maternity costumes, Disneyland and REVOLVE Awards (we were nominated for Couple Goals)!...
Good morning and Happy Tuesday babes!! This past weekend, we celebrated our sweet baby girl at the baby shower of my dreams! I'm still in awe of how everything turned out. I walked into the shower completely surprised and mesmerized with how beautiful everything turned out and beyond grateful to my team, Kat, Katrina, Connie, and especially Julia for taking it upon themselves to plan the entire event.....
Happy Tuesday babes!! I hope you guys are having a productive week :) I've had a busy couple weeks planning my baby shower and have been working on finalizing all the details this week! After my gender reveal, I got so many messages and requests on all the DIY treats we made, so I really wanted to wait until my baby shower to film this type of video for you guys.....
Happy Friday babes!! I can't believe my baby shower is almost here..just 1 week away!! Finding the perfect baby shower gift can be tough and it can get pretty overwhelming. So today, I've rounded up a list of practical, yet creative gifts that every mama-to-be would love to unwrap..including me..hint hint...
Happy Tuesday my loves!! I've been getting so many requests to film a pregnancy fashion haul and I finally did one for my Youtube channel! At 33 weeks pregnant I've become very comfortable with just how to style this bump! Finding my maternity style took a little while for me and I didn't feel like I got into my groove until about 6 and a half months in! ...
