Mommy and Marketer. My family on a Portuguese adventure.
In late November last year, my dear friend and former L’Oreal colleague Michelle told me that she was going to be in Paris for Maison & Objet in January. So, I took the opportunity to meet her there and bring Jax and Ry with me, too. This was my 4th time in Paris, but a first [...]
My friends Renee and Stefan are soon off to Tanzania to celebrate Stefan’s 40th birthday, and it reminded me of the time that I went to Africa on behalf of the Bio-Oil business in 2006. I sure am jealous that my friends will soon get to experience a safari! To this day, it is one [...]
It is now 2 days after Christmas and as we finish off the year (and before it is all just a memory), I wanted to share just some of the festive holiday decorations we’ve been able to see here in Portugal this year! Likely because I am seeing it all with a fresh pair of [...]
#WTH ?!?! Since our Portugal move took plenty of you by surprise, I thought I would take the time to write a follow-up blog post and answer a few of the most prominent questions: Why the move? As many of you know, our 4-year old son Jax finished Pre-K last June. However, since Jax has [...]

There are so many wonderful things about living in Laguna, and of course, the adorable shops and boutiques are some of my favorites. Maybe I will eventually write a post about every single one of these finds, but for now, I will focus on this sweet little shop my dear friend and I discovered while [...]
We’re now mid-week into the second week of the new year and I can relate to the findings that the third week in January (some therapists have actually nailed it down specifically to January 18), is the worst time of the year for those who suffer from depression, OCD, and anxiety, among other mental illnesses.

Many of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t, we’re pregnant! That being said, I wanted to let you guys know what a great time we had on our Babymoon to the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in Ojai, CA last month. Thanks to the suggestion of my friend Crystal (who [...]
I touched upon it in my post last Friday, but one of the great events that the SCVB (Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau) planned for us while we were in Scottsdale was a hot air balloon ride in the Sonoran Desert. I had never been in a hot air balloon so I was really excited [...]
