![[Giveaway] Cure for the Winter Blues: Free Event Tickets from Rukkus](https://www.mommya-z.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Rukkus-Giveaway.jpg)
I just returned from the Best Maternity Leave Ever where I spent the month of January in Florida with my kids. I’ve been back in the midwest for two full days now and returning to mounds of snow, bitter cold, and grey skies has me in full-on winter blues mode. Last year, I conquered the […]

I consider myself a seasoned mom, having two kids and a newborn baby. However, since having my first baby in almost six years ago to having my third baby just this past November – there’s so much that I’m still discovering and learning as a mother. For one, I finally figured out how to have the […]
How To Have the Best Maternity Leave EVER
January 23, 2015 by 23 Comments
I’m a full-time working mom and I’m currently on maternity leave with my third baby, Alyssa Jaime. Maternity leave is meant for bonding and that time is sacred to a new mom and baby (or in my case a seasoned mom and a new baby). This is honestly the best maternity leave ever and it took me three […]
Beach Bums and Mall Rats

What are you supposed to do when you’re on maternity leave with two kids and a newborn at your parents’ house in Florida in the middle of January? Go to the beach or the mall every day, of course! We’re officially beach bums and mall rats. It’s ridiculous. But it’s awesome!!!
The Return to My Happy Place
January 11, 2015 by 24 Comments
This is the best maternity leave ever. My mom designed this master plan where she flew to Chicago help me with the babies through the holidays, then we all flew to Florida so we could stay with my parents for the month of January. So while my friends and family in Chiberia are freezing in sub-zero temps, the kids […]
That’s a Wrap

I couldn’t have picked a better time to go on maternity leave. I got to spend the holidays with my babies and create magical memories with them. So much of life and joy happened all at once. Now all of a sudden it’s 2015 (happy new year, by the way!) and I’m half-way through my maternity […]
Review: Knitted Reverie Baby Headbands
December 12, 2014 by 15 Comments
I received these products from Knitted Reverie for free in exchange for a product review on MommyA-Z.com. All opinions are my own. I knew Alyssa was going to be spoiled even before she was born. At least, I intend on spoiling her with love and attention since she’s my last baby. It’s a bonus that my […]
Alyssa Jaime: A Baby Story
November 23, 2014 by 18 Comments
CONFESSION: I was obsessed with going into labor. As soon as I hit the third trimester, it was always on my mind: OMG, is that a contraction? Nope, I just have gas. AAH my water broke! Ooops, nevermind – I just peed myself a little. Is morning sickness in the third trimester a sign of going […]
Swirly Trees and Happy Thoughts
November 14, 2014 by 17 Comments
I’ve always wanted to do one of those painting classes – the kind where you drink a bottle of wine with your friends while a teacher gives instructions on how to re-create a work of art. If I had a bucket list, this would be on it. I picture myself with an easel and a […]
I’m All About That Bump
November 4, 2014 by 11 Comments
I’m 35 weeks into my third pregnancy and let me just say that people are so nice to pregnant women…at least, so nice to this pregnant woman! People ask my how I’m doing all the time, strangers open doors for me, or passersby will look at my belly and smile. Today, my co-worker offered to […]
