Today I had a full circle moment. ⁣
⁣
This isn’t the first time I’ve had a moment of clarity or epiphany. It happens here and there, and each time it hits stronger than the instance before. ⁣
⁣
Almost 7 years ago, I began my blog Mommy Diary with two words in my head. This is before I understood what “hearing voices” meant- I simply assumed it was a thought or a seed someone had planted in my head. Either way it was strong and hard to ignore, so I followed the voice and began “Mommy Diary.”⁣
⁣
This year I began my podcast with another two words in my head. This time my soul was more evolved and I was clearer on my next steps. ⁣
⁣
“Don’t overthink, just show up and do.” An act of faith that I learned to be a form of prayer, an homage to that voice. ⁣
⁣
Today as I recorded my final episode of the first season of @mommydiarypodcast, I felt proud that I didn’t let fear and self-doubt get in my head and mess with my path. ⁣
⁣
Not proud as in “hey look at me, look at how amazing & successful I am!” but proud as in “damn against all odds and naysayers, you did that.”⁣
⁣
The validation can only come from me because only I know my journey to the fullest. And that direction can only come from within- that Divine voice of ancient wisdom and future dreams. ⁣
⁣
I’m sharing this story today because I know there’s someone out there who is wondering whether to follow that voice. ⁣
⁣
YES. FOLLOW IT. Because if you don’t follow it today, the lesson will continue to repeat itself. ⁣
⁣
I don’t want to be stuck at the same place over and over again. I don’t want the same lessons over and over again. It’s time to level up. Are you ready? ⁣

#Ad With all the kids home 24/7, I feel like I’m always making food for the kids these days. Anyone else? 🙋🏻‍♀️
⁣
I’m always in need of simple and nutritious lunch ideas and @oroweatbread is a staple in my home. I feel good about giving my kids the NEW Oroweat Country Style Butter Bread because it’s free from artificial preservatives, colors and flavors. It’s also made with Land O Lakes® Butter which makes it taste that much better! ⁣
⁣
We love making different types of sandwiches and my kids love mama’s classic tuna melt. With ingredients like canned tuna, celery, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise and @oroweatbread, you’re creating a childhood memory that your kids will cherish forever. You can find my quick & easy recipe on my Instastory! #oroweat @landolakesktchn

It seems like just yesterday when I built my Baby Registry with @Amazon and I can’t believe she’s crawling already! 2020 has been a difficult year for many expectant and new moms and even though you may not be able to hug & kiss that new baby in your life, you can always let them know that you’re thinking of them this holiday season.

Building a baby registry and shopping for new moms are now easier than ever thanks to Amazon Baby Registry. You can choose from millions of baby essentials and have them delivered right to their doorstep. The best part is that the registrant can receive the Amazon Baby Registry Completion discount and receive the gift of extra savings.

Whether you’re a new mom building a baby registry or shopping for that special baby & mom in your life, take advantage of Amazon Baby Registry this holiday season. And don’t forget to check in with that mom who already gave birth, babies need so many essentials during their first year and can most likely use some items from their registry!

What’s your must-have baby item? Swipe up on my stories to see my complete list! #AmazonBabyRegistry #AD

What do you see when you see this photo? A picture perfect mom who has everything together, one who has all the time and the energy to decorate her home, make fancy charcuterie boards and celebrate the season right?⁣
⁣
Well, I wish life was that easy but the truth is that these are highlights of my life when I’m actually wearing make up, wearing a dress just for the photo and trying to be as productive as I can with 4 kids at home.
⁣
99% of the time I don’t look like this and I often feel the need to retreat to my own space and just cry it out. ⁣
⁣
But does that mean Christmas can’t be celebrated in utmost gratitude? 2020 was the hardest and also the best year for me because I got to spend so much more time with my family and really learn how to appreciate all the little things like traveling, dining out and just being free especially as LA is shutting down again. ⁣
⁣
Latest on the blog, I share a recap of what 2020 means to me and how I pivoted to begin new things even though my original plans didn’t work out.⁣
⁣
You can also find a complete list of all the things needed to create this neutral pastel look in your space. ⁣
⁣
Also, this mirror is on sale for 30% off and one of my favorite purchases ever. I own two sizes and don’t regret the splurge! Link in bio. ⁣

What does “superwoman” mean to you?⁣
⁣
Whether you’re single or married, whether you want one kid or four kids, whether you struggled to conceive or to raise a big family, whether you breastfed or bottle fed, whether you had a C-section or natural birth, whether you have an easy relationship or a hard marriage, we are all superwomen.⁣
⁣
My dear friend @diklagoren launched this beautiful Superwoman necklace in collaboration with @yamajewelry to symbolize all that we are and can be, available in different gold and diamond designs.⁣
⁣
I’ve been wearing this necklace for a few weeks now and I love how the superwoman symbol lights up whenever I see my own reflection. Sometimes the woman in the mirror is composed and smiling, but usually she is tired, rushed and overwhelmed with all the superwoman duties she has to perform throughout the day.⁣
⁣
But she now understands her superpower and can always pick herself back up. ⁣🦸🏻
⁣
No matter what life throws at her....ALWAYS.⁣
⁣
This necklace is available now at 10% off for Black Friday! Use discount code YOUARESUPER. Link in stories. ⁣

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! I know this year wasn’t easy but we still have so much to be thankful for. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to each and every one of you for being here, allowing me to share a piece of my life with you. Thanks to you, I’m living my dream life of creating, writing, recording and partnering with brands while raising my family. I don’t take this work for granted and know that these are blessings I must pay forward. ⁣
⁣
You are what makes Mommy Diary possible and I can’t thank you enough for all the love, grace and support you have shown me over the years. ⁣
⁣
I wish you the most blessed Thanksgiving with your loved ones and if you are experiencing a loss or struggling today please know you are not alone. YOU ARE LOVED and you make this world more beautiful!

May God bless you & your family today and everyday. ❤️⁣#happythanksgivng
