What’s up everybody!
Welcome to this figuring- out- life – as- a -new- mom journey with me! My name is Adrianna Carrera, but everybody knows me as Adry (AY-DREE). I am a Puerto Rican Latina and my home is the windy city of Chicago. I am a new momma to a beautiful baby girl named, Alyanna, and wife to my amazing hubby, Andy.
A Little About Me…
I am obsessed with chocolate chip cookies, a big time foodie, and an avid movie watcher and netflix binger. I am always down for brunch/ dinner. Traveling is something I aspire to do more of. My goal is to travel more outside of the country (Europe– here I come! lol). I also, love to read (books with actual pages! Not a kindle). This may sound like a very cliche response, but I actually do love taking long walks on the beach (haha!).
I can be very outgoing, but with people I don’t really know well I can be introverted and sometimes awkward (uhh hi lol). You will always find me singing and dancing away. (Beware, I am my own personal radio and can burst into song at any moment (hahaha).)
Overall, if you know me, you know that I am naturally someone who encourages and inspires. There is just so much negativity in the world and I try my best to combat it with love and light.
Why I Started this Blog
As a new mom, I remember being so CLUELESS about motherhood, pregnancy, birth, and preparing to be a parent.
To Help Other New Moms
I literally would read all the blogs and binge watch all the youtube videos I could find. There is so much people don’t teach you! I literally learned most of the things about motherhood through friends, blogs, and YouTube (thank God for YouTube LOL). So I wanted to share my motherhood journey and what I’ve learned along the way to help other new mommas. (You can check out my Newborn Baby Essentials for the First 3 Months Post Here.)
To Pursue My Dreams
I have always been a dreamer, but self limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, self doubt, and comparison all shattered every possibility before I even took a chance on myself. When you become a mom its like something inside of you shifts and you gather this maternal strength. I feel so empowered as a mom (‘cause if I can get through pregnancy, birth, post partum, and the 4th trimester– I can do ANYTHING! LOL). All in all I want to be an example for my daughter to show her that she can go after the things that sets her soul on fire. Creating this blog is one of the many first steps to open the doors for dreams to become a reality.
To Inspire, Encourage, and Empower Women
Last, but not least I wanted to inspire other women and demonstrate that you don’t “loose” yourself in this new identity of a mother. It is just a new chapter and season of your life.
You have just EVOLVED into a BETTER version of yourself with all of your hopes, dreams, and desires. So stay lookin’ fabulous, stay true to yourself, and chase after your dreams while still being a great momma!
P.S– You may not be a mom right now, but I’m sure you either know a mom (or maybe you are stepping in the role of a “mom” in other areas of your life) and I hope this blog can be a space for an awesome community of women to support each other in this journey of life.
In this blog you will find all things fashion, lifestyle, and motherhood content. Hope you enjoy it. 🙂
