*I have been compensated by JOHNSON'S® Baby and AVEENO® for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. Ever since my boys were babies, I have relied on JOHNSON'S® Baby products as part of their daily and bedtime routines. As infants, I used their baby lotion to massage their new skin and keep it hydrated and their baby wash to clean their delicate little fingers and toes. I remember sniffing them before laying them down to go to sleep and loving how fresh and clean they smelled. Fast forward to these days and both of my boys have grown into two handsome young men. My oldest just started high school this past Fall and my youngest is now in middle school. As a mom, I still continue to purchase the products that I love and trust for them to use. Just like when they were babies, I continue to rely on JOHNSON'S®, especially when it comes to taking care of their skin. My younger son tends to suffer from dry skin and will often complain that … [Read more...]
Graco’s Pack ‘n Play Playard Sport Is Big Hit With Mom Of Six! @GracoBaby #GracoBaby #Ad
As a mom of six I have used and tried almost every baby or toddler product out there. My children range in age from 13 years old to 6 days old with a toddler and kindergartner in that mix. I also work with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with special needs so I am always on the lookout for good products not only for myself, but also for the children I work with as a pediatric physical therapist. That being said, the Graco Pack 'n Play® Playard Sport™ is amazing! Graco has covered it all with this play yard. It's sturdy and durable so you never have to worry about baby's safety. It comes fully assembled; you simply take it out of the carry bag, and set up takes less than a minute.

It has two convenient side pockets to … [Read more...]
Celebrate Expressions Of Love With Your Children! #SoMuchMore @Johnsonsbaby #Ad
*This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON’S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions are 100% mine. This past weekend was Mother's Day and most moms spent the day being pampered and doted upon by their significant others and their kids. The truth is that every single day is an opportunity to celebrate motherhood and to share expressions of love from your children. From the moment that they were babies, I have enjoyed every moment with my sons and know that every touch, hug, and smile that we have shared has nourished all of us emotionally. As infants, I made sure that I bonded with them through daily rituals that allowed us to spend time together and to make wonderful memories through the power of touch. One of these routines included bath time every evening which was spent as a family when my husband and I bathed each son before going to sleep. Studies show that, in the first three years of life, interaction with moms and dads can help to … [Read more...]
Busy Moms Love The Urbini Emi Travel System! @UrbiniBaby #Partner
As a busy mom of five I am always looking for ways to make my life easier. We are always out and about, and usually in a rush, so we need to move quickly all the time. The Urbini Emi travel system allows us to do just that. It folds up quickly and easily by pulling the strap in the middle of the seat. It's lightweight which makes it a breeze to fold and lift into the trunk of my minivan. It is also pretty compact so I still have plenty of room in the trunk for shopping and the kids' sports gear. The Urbini Emi also has many conveniences to make shopping, strolling, and navigating any terrain a simple joy. It has an extra-large storage basket with a zippered compartment to keep your belongings safely tucked away. The cup holders for baby and mom are an essential because I know when I'm out at the park or mall I'm always thirsty. Your baby or toddler will be extra comfy in the cozy padded seat that fully reclines so he/she can sleep peacefully. Emi's click-fit … [Read more...]
Celebrate First-Time Moments With Your Little One! #PampersPrimerasVeces @PampersLatinoUS #Ad
*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband and I tried for almost four years to become pregnant with our first child. After much prayer and frustration, we finally found out that we were expecting and it was one of the single most joyous day of our lives. From that very first moment, we were determined to document every precious first-time event through writing and taking photographs. The first thing that I did was to start keeping a journal throughout my pregnancy to have a record of all of the thoughts and emotions that I was experiencing. We also started putting together a photo album that included all of the sonogram images that we were given at my obstetrician appointments. Obviously, the culminating moment of our joy was the birth of our son in June. It was during that very moment that my husband and I learned what it meant to fall in "love at first sight." We never … [Read more...]

*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Fisher-Price® and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own. I can still recall the joy of planning both of my sons' first birthday parties. For me, it was such a precious milestone that should be celebrated and rejoiced while surrounded by friends and family. So many exciting things happened in that first year including saying their first words and taking their first steps and there were so many joyful events to still look forward to. The photos and the memories that remain from these celebrations will forever be etched into my heart.

*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Walgreens. However, all opinions expressed are my own. I love being a mother but I also greatly enjoy my role as a an aunt or "Titi." Being able to care and dote on my sons and my nephews brings me a great deal of joy and it is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. Between my two siblings and I we have eight boys ranging in ages from 1 to 14. Yes, you read that right, we have no girls in our family!

One of my favorite places to shop for mi bebé is Walgreens and their Well Beginnings line has just … [Read more...]

Disclaimer: This review was made possible by Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers. All opinions are 100% mine. Becoming a mother is probably the most monumental event that any woman can experience. Every one of us wants to be the best mom possible and we all want to savor every moment with our babies and to celebrate all of their firsts to create memories that will last a lifetime. It has always been very important to me that I celebrate every single milestone in my sons' lives.
