I'm no professional when it comes to styling shelves, but I wanted to share how I styled my kitchen shelves because honestly its one of my favorite spaces in my home. I love changing things around and giving it a fresh new look from time to time. So recently I decided to install shelves in my kitchen because I needed the extra space and I wanted something visually pretty in my kitchen.

So I asked my husband to build me three shelves on top of my IKEA bookcase which I also store extra kitchen Items, like paper goods, baking supplies, snacks, coffee ...
Lately No. 1
I won't lie, I'm a mixture of emotions over what is going on right now in the United States, especially where I live in NYC. It's scary and honestly the unknown is what terrifies me most. I worry about my Husband who goes to work and can bring it home, I worry about my kids and myself who have asthma, I worry for my mother and family that I can't see daily. The world is in mourning. We are in different stages and learning to get by it one day at a time. One minute we’re smiling, the next we’re having anxiety it’s just scary. One bible verse I keep going back to is: Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. Genesis ...

Galentine Tablescape!
There's something about that special girl time and spending it with woman that inspire and love you. I love spending time with my friends as much as I possibly can and what better way than doing a Galentine brunch for us. In this brunch I served some pancakes, a cheese board, some yummy desserts and just little thoughtful yet fun gifts for them to take home like a bath bomb and a bottle of wine. It was filled with laughter, crying, venting, and enjoying each others time and catching up. Let's be honest being a mom is busy let alone being a working mom on top of that. Taking some time to create something special for my friends is ...
