It’s so wild to see these pictures with our 9 month old daughter. Time has FLOWN BY. Hard as this motherhood journey is, I absolutely love being her mama.
Oh and if you’re judging me for her not wearing shoes… I fought and lost that battle and gave up. 😂 Can’t win them all, or even most, is a lesson I’ve learned hard and fast as a new mom.
A huge thank you to the team for these gorgeous family photos. I’ll treasure them forever.
As Hispanic Heritage Month wraps up, I’m super honored to have been spotlighted in this article on BuzzFeed! It’s so wild to me to have been featured in many major publications/sites all because I love to decorate on a budget. Beyond honored. 🥰🫶🏼🥲

Here’s more sneak peeks of my fall throw blanket collection that will be arriving to stores within the next few weeks.
I LOVE all of these patterns because they’re soft, feminine and can easily zhush up any space in seconds. The floral pillow is from my bed in a bag collection and will be available again later this year, so stay tuned!

Congrats to Lisa Reyes for winning the Goodwill South Texas contest! I truly loved each and every single entry, but this one best captured the spirit of the contest. Enjoy your prize package!
Very demure. Very mindful. 🥂
FALL in love with these gorgeous, buttery soft oversized throw blankets from my line ! They will be available in the August-September timeframe, so make sure to keep an eye out during your next Ross run.
These are just two of the new designs in the collection and as you can see they look stunning simply draped over the arm of a sofa. I love these as a quick, cozy, inexpensive way to freshen up a space for under $20. (Plus they make perfect gifts! 🎁)

18 DAYS UNTIL LORELAI: every time I walk into her nursery, I feel a sense of calm. This room brings me overwhelming love and happiness. There was a time when I felt this would never ever happen for us, and as hard as this pregnancy has been… I’m forever grateful. 🥹🎀
I love the antique, secondhand + thrifted goods used in this space proving (yet again) you don’t need a ton of money to create beautiful spaces. It’s easy to see stunning IG homes and feel less than when it’s out of your income bracket, but magazine worthy spaces on a budget are possible. Follow along my adventures and I’ll show you how. 😘🙌🏼
