Mom In Heels

THE HEELS & THE MOM... The heels gave me more than a name. It gave me you! I started wearing heels on a normal basis when I was about 13-14. Even with my jeans in highschool... I had a short phase with sneakers and baggy jeans but mostly, I wore heels. And as years went by, they got thinner and higher. I was known for wearing heels to things no one else wore them. I even wore them to the countryside once and had to cross a river with rocks on them (long story). At the advertising agency in Madrid, the team of designers that worked on my Microsoft account knew I was coming to ask about the designs because of the noise my heels made when I walked. Today, they are part of my identity as a microinfluencer. What started as a possible blog and store to start something with my sister (reserved the url before I knew I was pregnant), ended in an instagram account to share my kid's pictures and then developed into an account where moms wanted to hear more about the working mom in the pictures. The shoes gave me a logo, you guys made it a symbol of my identity. When this quarantined life ends... I'll go back to wearing them. . . . #lakenonamoms #orlandomoms #orlandobloggers #otownbloggersquad #orlbloggers #thebloggerunion #iloveshoes #shoelover👠 #shoelover #purpleshoes #highheelshoes (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QfOVqAT9C/?igshid=1b9yq7urnbac5

OLD MCDONALD had a FARM...and a ZOO if necessary. AMAZING THINGS happen in books... just check out David's faces while we use the stories to learn more animals today. . . . #oldmcdonald #oldmcdonaldhadafarm #kidsactivities #kidsbooks #orlandomoms #lakenonamoms #lakenona #cowboykids #cowboy #woodytoystory #wildwildwest #littlekids #littleboys #orlandofamily (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PuWrvA3hW/?igshid=eb2yo3kb6g2t

ARTS & CRAFTS I love to teach through games we customize each day and having him develop his capacity to create. The pieces in my neck are part of a game to learn colors and shapes while developing fine motor skills and that day, he made me a necklace and made himself one with only one piece too. Not sure why mine had all but I loved it. . . . #lakenonamoms #orlandomoms #orlandobloggers #otownbloggersquad #orlbloggers #thebloggerunion #thebump #babycenter #maternity #babyboy #orlandofamily (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N3Tw-Alzg/?igshid=qaoe3gkgnc1y

HOW TO REUSE BABY BOY CLOTHES FOR GIRLS When I learned I was having Juliana, it became obvious that I would have to get rid of David's baby clothes. However, I'm a firm believer that most clothes can be used in more than one way. So I gave away all the things that said "boys" or were very boyish with cars and trucks and kept a bunch of onesies, overalls, sneakers or shoes and pants. The onesie in this picture was David's and the pants on the second pic too. The trick is to pair it up with very girly pieces. If it's blue, pair it up with something pink or with bows. If it's too simple, maybe something with ruffles or sparkle. Don't throw away your boy clothes if you don't have to but if you still decide to get rid of it, give it to a mom friend or donate it to a single moms center for example. If you are in Orlando, the Osceola Pregnancy Center is a perfect place to help with your donations. . . . #orlandomoms #lakenonamoms #lakenona #babyclothes (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9f9zLg5qk/?igshid=1t8nuucbjeujq

PEOPLE ASK ME...if I miss SPANISH FOOD. Well... as Spaniards, we cook a lot. We don't usually eat out every other day like Americans do. And although I miss some things I can always count on my moms recipes and when those are not available? I go to @derechupete I was in Spain when I met the mind behind it and when that project started. I love their recipes because they are true to our culinary culture and taste like grandma's cooking. Thanks @derechupete for helping me keep flavors and traditions in my US home for 10 years. . . . . #orlandofoodies #orlandomoms #bestrecipes #comidaespañola #spanishblogger #spanishfood #bloguerasespañolas #lakenonamoms #lakenona #recetasespañolas #spanishrecipes #derechupete #ricorico (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5WiP_gnYc/?igshid=qiekw86eugfq

OCEAN DAY...Today we learned about the ocean. We dressed as sailors and explored David's room looking for all sea creatures we could find. Then we played flash cards with sea animals and also painted a few with "mucha agua". When we finished papi took a picture of us with one of the new animals David learned about today, the crab. In the end, David wanted more on animals so we started or zoo lessons and games. Now, watching the Little Mermaid with lunch. We've been seeing documentaries on the ocean like the dolphin one from @disneyplus as well. I wish I could have taken him to the @aquaticaorlando or @seaworldorlando and to the beach this weekend. But that will come next year. Maybe by then Juliana will walk and learn something too. . . . #quarantinewithkids #homeschooling #activitieswithkids #activitieswithkids #activitiesforkids #seaworld #seaanimals #oceananimals #lakenonamoms #orlandomoms #orlandobloggers #otownbloggersquad #orlbloggers #thebloggerunion #mombloggers #mommyandmefashion #LakeNona (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ztptzAbHK/?igshid=cq2ht8n5adq8

Yesterday we FACETIMED with the EASTER BUNNY!!! We dod a live interview with the Easter mascot thanks to @pooofproductions . Did you know he speaks English and Spanish? He told us how he is also taking care with the virus by practicing social distance. He is desinfecting all the eggs, wearing gloves when he leaves them and since he can't spend time with the kids in person to take pictures, he is having videoconferences with them worldwide and saluting them from the street in some cases. @pooofproductions is also building rainbow archs as a sign of hope in the front porches or yards of homes with balloons and connecting kids through videoconference with their favorite characters for birthdays or as a way to lift their spirits. If you too want to talk to the Easter Bunny, your kid's favorite character or have a hope arch in front of your house, contact @pooofproductions . . . . #easterbunny #lakenonamoms #lakenona #orlandomoms #bloggermoms #easter2020 #easterdecor #easteractivities #pascua2020 #pascua #conejodepascua #orlandobloggers #orlandofamily #orlandoevents #activitieswithkids (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zVrYegLPk/?igshid=1bay03cf5w688

Mi viejita joven... my young old lady... The flower pillow was a gift from my sister to help my posture when breastfeeding but Juliana loves it so much...she does half of her digestions/naps in it. We're definitely using it a lot. The dress... a beautiful gift from @doriurena from @target . . . #babycenter #itsagirl #maternity #motherhood #babygirlstyle #mommyhood #juliana #greendress #babygirlfashion #babygirlfashionista #lakenonamoms #orlandomoms #orlandobloggers #otownbloggersquad #orlbloggers #thebloggerunion #babyfashionblogger #bloggermom #mombloggers #mamaslatinas (at Lake Nona, Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-yIh9KAj5u/?igshid=1pddxcuyo0e82

I'M BACK! Never been too good at this maternity leave thing. It's been 1 month since I had my c-section and in the last two weeks I started having calls and conversations and I'm fully reactivated. With the same challenges many of you have with kids at home but active. Now... you're going to see more of this 'work' and business content on my @missjulieno and @standoutpros profiles and on my LinkedIn. I mean... it's business after all right? I'm coming back with many of the plans I had and more with partners and alone. And I can't wait to let you all know. This mompreneur is getting ready to go to infinity and beyond this 2020!

WHEN THEY'RE AWAKE Babies sleep a lot in very short intervals of time. Sleep when they sleep they say...well, that's when I try to work (if David let's me) because when she's awake I have to take advantage. I have a bed in my office for when I need naps or to work so late that I don't want to wake my husband. But that bed doesn't see me nap anymore. No time for that. However, it does see a lot of mommy and me time with both of my kids. From photos to motor skills exercises. . . .
