Life Hack: The After School Checklist for kids (Free printable)

I love a good life hack, especially something for our kids. I was home for my second maternity leave when my eldest started kindergarten. I noticed that when she got home her first instinct was to watch T.V. and throw her backpack in a corner. I get that she wanted to unwind but she’d forget to wash her hands and take out her lunch box. Believe me, these needed some serious washing at the end of the school day. I’m always trying to find ways to stay productive and I’ve found checklists very helpful for myself. There’s something satisfying about […]

How Do You Do It all? How do you do it well?

Black and white mom and baby

Dear mom, I get it now.

I get it now… Why when we were little, you seldom bought anything new for yourself — your children, on the other hand, always seem to have what they need. I get why you taught us to appreciate what we have, to work smart, and be wise with our money. I get why there seems to always be a piece of cake for me and why you pretend you didn’t need it. I get why you instilled in us the importance of prayer and faith in God, especially when raising a family. For this and many more, thank you! What […]

We’re going to Disney World!! Every time I say that to people, there’s an automatic twinkle in their eyes. It’s not uncommon for them to say “You’re ALL going to love it!”. Then they get excited and start to share their own cherished childhood memories about the place.  They rave how Disney has thought of everything and is simply the best.  We’re so excited! This family trip means so much more to me. You see, a trip like this has been on my dream board since I started as an entrepreneur. I needed a vision and a goal that inspires […]

How I started my online business; as a mother of four, Mompreneur

Mompreneur, who me? When I became a mother I looked at my baby and said to myself, “I want to be there for you, I want to be present in the moments that make you proud“. Since starting LD Design Loft, people have become curious about my experience in this new business. I’ve been interviewed by University Design students, online coaches and it’s a subject during coffee chats with close friends. I’m always so delighted to share my experience since it has been so positive. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no billionaire… well not yet ;). I’m still a work […]

Safari birthday theme ideas – Drawing for my children.

My youngest is the first to celebrate his birthday every year and I was doodling his favorite animals for a safari theme. He’s my little party animal so it was perfect. I illustrated a tiger at first and expanded to more jungle animals such as the zebra, giraffe, monkey, hippo, lion with monstera leaves. Check out the process video below. I’m pleased to offer my safari designs for you to purchase as part of a new collection from our shop. Customize jungle-themed party supplies, safari t-shirt (for the celebrant, mommy, daddy), banners, decor and more. These easy to use templates […]
