rainbows will follow the rain 🌈 swipe for pics

rainbows will follow the rain 🌈 swipe for pics and videos! just two weeks ago we celebrated part 2 of Isabella’s 4th Birthday with a #rainbowparty @recessplayworks, a new co-working space for parents and playspace for kids🎈
⠀⠀
it was a different world. we were elbow-bumping already but little did we know this was the last time we saw many of our dear friends...
⠀⠀
i hold on with hope to these memories of 20 joyful giggling children🌈 parents relaxed in the lounge while the littles went wild playing on the climbing structure and wall, complete with (sanitized) ball pits and slides. then they did an art activity with the art teacher, followed by 🍕
⠀⠀
i set up a simple cake table with the most delicious four layer seven inch gluten free funfetti explosion cake from @thecakeboxofct 🎂 and magical stand up rainbow cake pops handmade by @thepopperyny 🍭

⠀⠀
my #rainbowbaby🌈 ate both the cake and the cakepop, and happily sat at the table alone for a long time savoring every bite. my foodie is not one of those kids that will take a bite and run off. she will have her cake and eat it too 😂 ⠀⠀
let’s support small businesses during this time: @recessplayworks is offering online coding and art classes for kids and activity kits to go.
⠀⠀
@thepopperyny has cake pops to go and decorate your own cake pop kits! 🍭🧁
⠀⠀
@thecakeboxofct offers curbside pickup of cupcakes and cakes, and has to-go GF cookie and pizza dough.
⠀⠀
we have to keep hoping and celebrating life in the face of this pandemic that is taking so many lives and livelihoods. staying home is a small sacrifice to protect those most vulnerable. what does this pandemic teach us? we are all connected, we are one.
⠀⠀
sending love and rainbows of hope to you and yours. let us be grateful, for each other, and for those risking their lives to save ours🌈

everything seems out of control. all i can control

everything seems out of control. all i can control is our home, and keeping my family safe here🙏🏼
⠀⠀
our schools are closed for the foreseeable future, ballet classes etc cancelled, and as someone trying to work my FT job from home with the kids while dealing with autoimmune issues, i have peak anxiety.
⠀⠀
it does give me peace of mind that the girls sleep with the @molekuleair mini air purifier on all night in their shared bedroom. they’ve been sharing since my youngest turned two and it’s been so sweet 💕
⠀⠀
i was gifted the @molekuleair mini which destroys pollutants at a molecular level- allergens, viruses, bacteria, VOCs, and mold.
⠀⠀
Sofia has a dust mite allergy like me (i have severe environmental allergies) so this helps her breathe clean fresh air.
⠀⠀
it’s lightweight, easy to move and easy to turn on plus you can control it via your mobile 📲
⠀⠀
if you’re interested i have a coupon code for you- check my stories 👀🦠
⠀⠀
how are you doing with all the current stress? are you social distancing? are your schools closed?

mama i see you, tired of not getting the traction

mama i see you, tired of not getting the traction you hope for, frustrated of spinning your wheels. stuck in a never ending content rollercoaster🎢 feeling invisible.
⠀⠀
what if i told you that you can learn how to grow thousands of engaged followers in one month?
⠀⠀
and i don’t mean buying fake numbers. i’m talking about using a proven strategy to build up a real community that loves your content 💗
⠀⠀
what if i told you that you can monetize your account with even a small following? and i don’t mean making cents on affiliate links or swipe ups. i’m talking about learning how to pitch and negotiate paid collabs to make hundreds and thousands.
⠀⠀
well you can mama. this week ONLY i’m opening up a limited number of spots to enroll in Mom to Momfluencer- my Step by Step System for insta growth 🌟

i didn’t know true love until i became a mother

i didn’t know true love until i became a mother ❤️ oh i have been crazy in love, and i truly love my husband, but the fierce force of maternal love is the most powerful bond in the world.
⠀⠀
it’s a power you feel in every cell of your body, a primeval power that would make you do anything to protect them❤️
⠀⠀
behind my eyes lightning bolts of light circle when i kiss them good night and whisper sweet lullabies🌙
⠀⠀
i know the energy of my love wraps around them and connects us beyond quantum physics. their atoms and DNA stay in my body years after i’ve given birth ⚛️ and vice versa.
⠀⠀
i made them and i am now made of them. i am chimera now and forever.
⠀⠀
did you know that microchimeric foetal cells from your pregnancies (those that resulted in birth and those that did not), have been found in all major organs of moms, even in her beating heart?❤️
⠀⠀
swipe to see the sweetness from our Valentine’s shoot with @jennifer_zarine_photography (cover is my own behind the scenes) isn’t her #redandpink balloon arch so pretty🎈

⠀⠀

⠀⠀
on her big day we had a beautiful party with her beloved grandparents and cousins, and a tearful reunion with her best friend who moved there, and whom she misses so much. swipe for the cuteness 🥰
⠀⠀
Sofia’s fave color is turquoise so she got a custom frozen hair clip made out of velvet and bejeweled with sequins - made by mom shop @naneville - go stalk her Etsy shop right now it’s divine! swipe to see Bella’s matching mint colored velvet hair clip 🧜🏽‍♀️

⠀⠀

⠀⠀

⠀⠀

finding beauty in unexpected places🏮 ⠀⠀ we

finding beauty in unexpected places🏮
⠀⠀
we had a great trip to Houston,TX to visit my family in law, and we even got to do some fun touristy things with the kids thanks to @visithouston
⠀⠀
the girls loved the @childrensmuseumhouston which is the #1 children’s museum in the US according to @parents. they especially loved the 3 story climbing structure, and the challenge course!
⠀⠀
our other fave outing was visiting the @houstonzoo. i’m all about teaching my kids to love and respect Mother Nature and take care of the environment and animals, so we loved how lush and green it was, and how close we could get to the animals.
⠀⠀
i also have to note that the cafe in the zoo was beautiful, delicious and eco-friendly.
⠀⠀
Isabella is obsessed with lions so the fact that we got to see both the lion and lionesses move just a few feet away when they sleep 20 hours a day was incredible 🦁 ⠀⠀
she also got to feed a giraffe up close🦒 slide to watch the video and her reaction 🥬
⠀⠀
one of my resolutions for this new decade is to get back to traveling more with the kids now that we don’t need to pack strollers and cribs and all that gear!
⠀⠀
and flying was surprisingly easy this time. it was the first time we flew where everyone had their own seat, and we had a great experience with @united. we packed light and only had one small check in bag, and each of us had one carry on.
⠀⠀
of course we did celebrate Xmas again with all my in laws and Sofia’s 6th Bday so we ended up shipping a couple of boxes of gifts home 😝
⠀⠀
are you planning any #familytravel this year?

did you give yourself grace this holiday season? d

did you give yourself grace this holiday season? did you give yourself permission to unplug from social media, to be present and recharge?
⠀⠀
did you step away from the hungry content monster - the gram - and put your out of office on at work (if you work), and let it gooo?
⠀⠀
i hope you did and had a joyful Christmas, Hanukkah etc with fam and friends ✨
⠀⠀
i did and it was sooo needed. my stress levels were affecting my health, so i consciously put my phone down, wrapped up my day job for the year, and had the best Xmas ever.
⠀⠀
we did alll the Christmas-y family adventures this year and it was glorious!
⠀⠀
from the holiday train show, to cutting down a real tree at a local farm, to a private hayride with Santa, teddy bear tea with Mrs Claus, to Rockefeller Center, and holiday parties with friends, we focused on having quality family time and making #christmasmemories
⠀⠀
our treehouse became the coziest place on earth (smelling like a pine tree, cookies and the fireplace), i wove my witchy wand and it was magical and hygge AF🎄✨
⠀⠀
and if i wasn’t making money on the gram i might stay in the real world. but i’ve created a creative outlet with a revenue stream and a supportive tribe of friends here 👊🏽
⠀⠀
so this is not good bye but a shift, as i’m not going to be in growth mode for a while as i have some big plans for 2020!
⠀⠀
growth mode is how i got to 20k+ followers in a year, but it has to be balanced with create and nurture mode in order for it to stick and be sustainable.
⠀⠀
you need perspective to create goals for the new year. without a break you get caught up in an addictive cycle that doesn’t allow for strategic oversight.
⠀⠀
i’m going to share more about the growth-create-nurture cycle in my stories so see you there 👀
⠀⠀
for now put away your to do list, and just enjoy this powerful space as we enter a new decade with love ♥️
⠀⠀
as they say in German: #gutenrutsch ins Neue Jahr! Have a good ‘slide’ into the new year! 🛷
⠀⠀
PS. some #magicchristmas pics of our #cozychristmas day and eve at the treehouse 🎄✨
