It’s been a minute since my last blog post (almost a year — wow!). Life has been life-ing in the most beautiful and challenging way. Between working full-time, family, being a soccer and basketball mom, projects, and new ventures, I had to step back for a bit, but I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on and what’s coming next.
One of the biggest milestones I’m so excited to share with you: my new children’s book website is officially live!
As we wrap up summer and step into the back-to-school season, I’ve been feeling that same sense of fresh start energy. Just like kids walking into a new classroom with sharpened pencils and new backpacks, I’m stepping into this season with new projects, fresh inspiration, and renewed focus.
Back-to-school is the perfect time to refresh your child’s space. A cozy bean bag chair, some fun fairy lights, and even an affirmation poster can make a big difference. Here are a few of my favorite finds this season:
For me, this back-to-school season is especially meaningful because of my children’s book, Love Yuhself. It’s an ABC Affirmations book that I created for Caribbean American kids (and all kids who love exploring culture and confidence!). Parents have been adding it to their bedtime routines and even to their classroom libraries, which makes this season even more special.
On the design side, I’m diving back into a fun project with a returning client — decorating their children’s room and bathrooms. There’s something about creating a space where kids can learn, grow, and feel inspired that ties so perfectly with the back-to-school spirit. When I design kids’ rooms, I focus on organization + creativity. These TROFAST storage units from Ikea are perfect for organizing school uniforms, and I love this rug for adding a cozy touch.
So, whether you’re a parent getting ready for back-to-school, a book lover, or someone looking for design inspiration, I hope you’ll follow along as I get back into blogging, designing, and sharing all the little things that make life colorful.
