Not what it seems

To those of you who think I have it together

Everything is always not what is seems like.
I get asked a lot how I can balance being a stay at home mom, going to college, and blogging in between all of that, and the truth is I don't. What? I don't!

I try really hard to be on track of everything , like keeping our home clean and organized, and doing all my college work, preparing dinner, and keeping our rooms clean, but sometimes its can be so difficult. There are days where I barely finish Cleaning just so my toddler can dump all her toys out again.There are some days where I am rocking this whole life thing and have everything including dinner made at 4pm. Then there are other days where I barely finish making dinner at 8 pm.

Everyone always sees the pretty pictures, but the struggle in getting those pictures is Real.

I was really blessed with the fact that Genesis has always slept all night long ever since she was born, and the occasional nap during the day. She is always keeping me on my toes especially when she acts like a teenager in a two year old body. She is so sassy, but in the end I love this life. Even if it means Genesis spilling Something on the floors everyday. Even if it means I never finish doing laundry, and all I ever do is cook and clean.

The one mistake I know I won't make is dressing Genesis in beautiful handmade peices that comes from someone who puts hard work and dedication into making them. Pink Bow Design is one of our favorite shops and we have purchased from her shop ever since Genesis was born. Olga, The owner is always accepting custom orders, and is so great at suprising you with the quality of the items, and how well made they are. She made this bonnet and linen suspender skirt for us, and I absolutely love both. Thee bonnet is reversible; one side is a pink color( of course) and the other side is a ivory curdoroy, which adds a nice touch to it the simpicity of the bonnet. The clothing is just one thing that make this life a little better, but at the end of the day I feel so incredibly blessed because I have my family and I love them so much .

Cool Babies, Cool Moms, Cool Product

Genesis loves ice cream so much that she usually asks to eat it every single day ,but as much as she loves ice cream she always makes a big mess with it. She usually doesn't eat it fast enough and it starts melting ,and it gets all over her face and fingers.

Luckily, I always carry my Evian Facial Spray around with me in my diaper bag. It has been a game changer ever since I got it. I love the fact that it has no harsh chemicals, so I know it's safe to use on Genesis hands and on her face to clean up the sticky ice cream. I usually try to find the best and most safest products for us to use , and Evian Facial Spray  is one of them ,since it's made from natural spring water from it's source in Evian-les-bains,France. I usually use hand sanitizer, but you can't spray that on your face. It's also travel size so it fits perfectly in all my diaper bags and in my small purses. The cannister is also leak proof so I know I will not get an unexpected messy spill in my diaper bag.

  It's also really good for us as parents to use I usually use it to refresh my face. I just spray it a couple of feet away from my face and let it dry. It's also perfect for any skin type which is great, since mine can sometimes be oily or dry.

The best thing is that they are doing a giveaway for my followers . Where 3 luck winners will receive a Skip Hop Duo Signatura diales bag, un Heather Gray filled with a 10 oz. 5 oz.  and a trio of travel sized Evian Facial Sprays

Saving the World and being fashionable ... One bonnet at a time

     It is very important to keep our planet clean and safe. It is after all the same planet where our children, and grandchildren, and their children and so on will inhabit. There are so many ways to keep it clean such as, recycling, which is one of the most important things to do.

     You would not believe how much stuff goes in our landfills that can be recycled, and can be made into something new. The one thing that there is most is clothing .

     I especially love This bonnet fromSimply August. She makes her bonnets from upcycled shirts, and dresses to avoid all those items going to waste and ending up in landfills. They all have this vintage look to them that I absolutely love. I also really liked the fact that all bonnets have an elastic in the back that can adjust their head depending on their size. The quality is also great. I was really intrigued to buy a bonnet just because I knew that the items used to make the bonnet where upcycled , which means in a way I was helping so one less article of clothing was going into a landill, one more step to helping the world.

Simply August will be having some bonnets for sale today on her instagram @simply.august at 8 PM EST, so be sure to check them out.
