  • Stop and listen

    31-Days-of-Simplicity-stop-and-listen-wandalopezdesignsMy daughter has been asking to go out and have some ice cream time for days. We had all been living life and being busy and ending the day very tired. But, then it hit me…we must make time. So this post is more of a stop and listen! (more…)

  • Community

    On Sundays many families head over to church and have a nice community time with their friends and family members. Or like we like to refer to it as, church family.

    I have a friend that I met years ago. We became friends, good friends, the kind of friendship that turns into sisterhood. The friendship that allows you to hug for minutes and with no words said be able to express ourselves. That is a rare and magical friendship and I am glad we have it. That is also called doing life together. (more…)

  • Party

    My husband has been rushing me and the girls all day to get ready for a birthday party. His co-worker’s little girl was turning one year old. A precious little girl. The invitation was sent through evite. The party was from 2-6pm. But, since we had just gotten the evite, we still had to drive to the store and purchase a gift before heading to the party.

  • Be an Angel

    Have you ever had that moment when you are just feeling like if the world has fallen on top of you? You may have felt worthless, lonely, fat, ugly… Come on, I’m not alone on this one. We all have felt sadness, discouragement and fear at some point in our lives.

    I know I have. When I was first diagnosed with cancer and the doctors told me that my surgery had to be as one of an open heart because of the location of the tumor; my first reaction was “will it show a scar?” Well it does show and even though that scar reminds me of the blessing it is to be alive, it also makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. My self esteem is not low, not at all. Don’t get me wrong. I am a very cheerful and happy person. (more…)

    Simple beauty…

    When I started brainstorming about designs that I wanted to create, some words came to mind. Words like: simplicity, timeless, elegant, chic, modern, girly and functionality. The handbags had to be functional. They had to be bags that I would use daily. (more…)
