This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Huggies. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Around here life is hectic starting October 31st, we typically have three families to visit for each holiday because each hosts their own party and we love going to every one. What does that mean for me? It means I become even more scatter brained than normal, and ultimately make some crucial mistakes. Here is something I have experienced first hand that I never want to again: "Hey Nina, I think your kid needs a diaper change." This is normal after a kid is playing all day without normal change routines, nobody tells you they suspect a diaper … [Read more...]

Tips For Apartment Living Thanksgiving Tablescapes #PFDecorates

I only decorate for this time of year (fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) and I always find it challenging because of my limited space. Each year we host a small get together with our closest friends outside of the hectic holiday rush. I love having a warm and homey environment for my guests, even though it is normally a small and intimate get together. This year, my main decor was provided by ProFlowers. Living in an apartment automatically means limited space. In my case it means a small square table, barely separate from my couches. I enjoy the challenge of making it look welcoming and unique. Use a pop of color. In small spaces like mine that are filled … [Read more...]

I’m Staying Fashion Forward with Mialisia Jewelry + Giveaway

I received the jewelry featured in this review from Mialisia Independent Designer Trisha Haas free of charge, all opinions are my own. Over the past few years, I've given up my fashion sense in order to concentrate and focus on my children and being a good mom. I missed knowing myself and how good it felt to represent myself in the way that makes me feel beautiful, proud, and confident. Now that my children are getting older, I've found the time to care about my looks and presentation. One of the things that has been lacking is my accessory collection...after many moves over the last five years lots of it was lost. I've slowly been rebuilding my collection, now … [Read more...]

Making A Commitment To Safe Driving, and Why You Should. #CelebrateMyDrive

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and State Farm. However, all opinions expressed are my own. When I was learning to drive, my dad took me out to practice (because my mom always freaked out, so I would freak out, and...sorry mom. This is a story for another day.) We drove out to the back roads of my hometown where the traffic was thin and not many other cars were around. I realized during this drive that from the parents perspective, driving is one of the most nervewracking things your child will ever graduate into. On that drive, I was on the receiving end of the obligatory life lesson story. That story is the reason I … [Read more...]

This is a partnered post with Weight Watchers and The Motherhood. I received a three-month trial subscription to Weight Watchers Online. All opinions are my own. When is the last time you opened up the 1/2 inch thick magazine that was delivered to your mailbox? Think about it, when did you actually sit down and enjoy the content within? ... I couldn't tell you the last time I did. Years ago, magazines were something I loved. I subscribed to at least five of them and would read them cover to cover. I even saved the ones that had an article interesting enough to reread in the future (although I don't think I ever reread them, or could remember exactly what magazine … [Read more...]

This post is brought to you by Genworth and Brandfluential, all stories & opinions are my own. This year will always be one that I'll remember vividly. It is the year I lost my first loved one, then two more. As we know life isn't fair, and it can be stressful, painful, and difficult to deal with the cards that are dealt to us. On February 17th, 2013, which was a bright and sunny Sunday, my Great Grandpa Whitey passed away. He was a legacy, I was one of his 33 great grandchildren. You would think because of how many grandchildren he had, he wouldn't have time for us all...but he did. We all knew how much he loved us. I am proud that I was able to give him … [Read more...]

This post is brought to you by JOHNSON’S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect, I am being compensated for my time but all opinions are my own. Emma is my last child, and even though she is 17 months old we have a daily routine of moisturizing. A part of me is trying to start her off early knowing the importance of taking care of your skin and how to keep it healthy. Emma loves following in the footsteps of her big sister, and we all lather up with our lotion daily, and after baths. Unfortunately my girls were blessed (?) with my dry skin, and nothing is better than cuddling with my soft to the touch kiddos before bedtime, so I do what I can to make sure they are … [Read more...]

I am a blogger, I am a mother of two girls, I am a college student focusing on Internet Marketing. You probably knew all of that. There are quite a few things you most likely would never guess about me. So as an attempt to step outside of my shell and become a more personable and relatable blogger, I'm going to share some things about me that you can't learn from reading my 'About' page. 1) I hate my teeth. I've always had horrible teeth, but not because they are crooked or something along those lines. My teeth are horrible because they are weak. I've always been prone to getting cavities, and do often. My two pregnancies took a horrible toll on my oral health, … [Read more...]

This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Huggies. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Everyone has that one thing related to parenting that they are always talking, thinking, or learning about. As mothers we are always trying to better ourselves and our skillsets so we can be better parents. Among these things of course is buying the best products to care for the sensitive bottoms of our babies. Besides keeping my daughter dry and comfortable I like to focus a lot on education prep. My personal parenting topic that holds a lot of importance to me is reading. In my mind I see reading as a doorway to a world of great entertainment, … [Read more...]
