Excited to finally share my services with you all 💁🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🧏🏻‍♀️ ✨

These services were born from real motherhood and from realizing there’s a huge gap between “online advice” and the hands-on reality of running a home while caring for a baby. I know how it feels, because I’ve lived it.

This mission comes deeply from my heart. I often think back to the months before and after Estel was born and wish I’d had someone to step in when I was lost in a sea of information and tired, not having time to do all the things on my to do list. I wish I had someone to talk, ask for help or guidance.
I also acknowledge there are pregnancies that are difficult and postpartum where mums need to lay in bed due to medical conditions and more help is needed.

Becoming a mum far from home and without a big support system made me realize that motherhood was never meant to be done alone, and asking for help doesn’t make you a bad mum. We do need help but often we don’t know how to ask for it or where.

I want to be that companion, calm presence, and helping hand for you. No more scrolling for answers— we will work together and decide where you need help, I’ll step in so you can focus on what matters most 💜

☕️ 💌 Let’s Connect: If you’re in Barcelona, my DMs are open for questions, a coffee, or simply to connect. I’m excited to meet many incredible women along the way!

✨If you know a mami in Barcelona who needs less overwhelm, mental load and a more “in-person” support, please share this with them. It would mean the world to me 🫂🤗

I’ve gone through many new beginnings in my life — some chosen, some shaped by difficult seasons and circumstances since I was very young.
I was scared to share again, scared of judgment, scared of trying something new.
But here I am again, starting over… but this one feels close to my heart — deep down, I know this comes from a genuine place: to support, inspire and impact. Also to connect with other women navigating motherhood and life changes.

My own journey has felt lonely, especially being far from home and without a village here in Barcelona. But along the way, I’ve also learned how to build a life full of intention, joy, gratitude, and presence within this beautiful season.

So this is me, trying again, reinventing myself & redefining success again in something totally different but very special. I feel I am I’m raising a family while rising into the woman I was meant to become. Estel is giving me a purpose I never knew existed, so as she grows, I am growing too. And the good and bad things have to be shared to help others. I can’t keep it all for myself.

I hope this space becomes one where we can share the real beauty and raw challenges of motherhood, support one another, and grow together through it all —
Because motherhood was never meant to be lived alone. Agree ?

Stay tuned for more ! 😘

Hi 👋 it’s been a while since I introduce myself and share how’s life at the moment.

For the past two years, I’ve been fully immersed in motherhood — slowing down, learning, growing, and being deeply present in our little baby bubble. I naturally stepped away from sharing online because all my attention and presence felt meant for her.

But motherhood changed me in so many ways , and now, it finally feels like the right time to slowly share again. Not perfection, just real motherhood — the beautiful, overwhelming, intentional reality of it all.

So here I am 💜 A new Laura ! Still learning and growing but feeling that today is the right moment to build something different hoping this place will be of support and blessing to others.

I’m really glad you’re here ✨ if you are a mum, or becoming one, or dreaming about this beautiful ride or a friend who finds inspiration in my content — I truly love that you are here !!!! Yay ! 😘

We stayed with my mum at hotel Capitan Suizo, the same hotel where we got married in 2021 and it was incredible.

Forever grateful for this time with Beia and Estel. And a recap of the last days together with my brother.

I remember I was scared to fly back by myself and Estel without daddy but we managed, we always do !
It was the first time she separated from dad and it was tricky the first days, she was missing him and was very demanding of attention, but explaining her and with love and patience she understood.

I thought I would not be able to do it all “alone” as I was used at doing it all with Jordi but I simplified and stopped being so perfectionist and with the help of my family in the moments I needed it, we managed.

I wished for more rest time and me time but hey we did the best we could with what we had, and it was perfect. Learning from this trip is to not have so many expectations and just flow and go with whatever life throws at you.

♥️la pura vida at the end is the essence and we treasure that forever.

Still not over May... 🤍 because some memories deserve more than a few seconds.

Apparently one May recap was not enough, too many beautiful memories to leave behind, so here is another recap for our family albums 😅

Moments that remind me how quickly this season of life is passing.

The magic kept going as we celebrated Estel, who was about to turn 2. Family threw her an early birthday party complete with an asado—a beautiful Uruguayan tradition we always honor—plus cake, music, dancing, and games. Weeks later, she is still talking about it! She absolutely loved it, and seeing her joy was everything.

Oh I see this and I just feel like going back there to live it all over again !
Gracias familia ! ♥️

More of our May memories in Costa Rica with Estel part 2 (first time ever without papa, because he returned to Spain to work and we stayed together with my family, was beautiful & challenging at the same time) & some reflections I wanted to share ✨♥️

Living far away, you learn to count the days between the moments that matter most. Having some of our family together in Costa Rica this May was a soothing balm for my soul. 🇨🇷🤍
As an expat mum in Barcelona, these reunions only happen once a year, making every second feel incredibly heavy with gratitude. Watching Estel bond with her family & some friends filled a space in my heart I didn’t realize was aching. Seeing her connect so deeply with them all, and watching how easily she adapted to this place, was everything we could have ever hoped for.

This trip was a profound reminder to slow down. To let go of the rush, melt into the vacation rhythm, and grasp every single family memory with both hands. These days are fleeting, but they will carry us until we meet again. ✨

Motherhood became so much lighter when I stopped relying on motivation and started creating simple rhythms instead, but these rhythms work for MY ACTUAL season. Believe me it took me a while to get here 😅, at the beginning it’s impossible to have routines, because both parents & baby are born & it’s crazy to find a way to juggle everything while caring for someone 24/7

Each motherhood will look different.
Build rhythms that support your family at the stage you are in with kindness & patience.
Some mums like me just have the support from papa (reason why it’s very important to team up and divide responsibilities) and their families are far away or are not involved in helping at home, just when asked for special occasions so it’s important to have a consistent family plan.

These routines don’t make life perfect.

They simply help me reduce decision fatigue, stay organized, and create more space for the things that matter most: my family, my wellbeing, and being present.

Some weeks everything flows.
Other weeks, nothing goes to plan.

And that’s okay.

These habits aren’t rules—they’re anchors that help me come back to what matters.
“Life doesn’t have to be perfectly balanced—it can be intentionally organized.”

👇🏻what routine has made the biggest difference in your motherhood? I’d love to hear yours 😘

Save this post for your Sunday reset, and share it with a mum who loves feeling organized without chasing perfection.

Took a little pause from the city in Costa Rica to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of the Central Pacific coast. We stayed at my brother’s Airbnb, Casa Pelícano in Bejuco, and it was absolute heaven—enjoying a quiet beach practically all to ourselves, surrounded by raw nature, and soaked in the peace of the low season. 🌊

Every moment felt like a gift ⭐️
Estel tried ice real for the first time & loved it ! She started singing in the car, took selfies & loved local food like a real tica (gallo pinto, sopa negra, tortillas, carne mechada )

💓But the most beautiful part? Having the space as a couple to truly reconnect. Away from the daily hustle, the noise, and the rigid schedules, we finally got to just be. To laugh, to breathe, and to fall in love with the slow rhythm of the Pura Vida lifestyle together as a family ♥️

May monthly recap part 1 to remember this special milestone. We kicked off May enjoying our routine in Barcelona before setting off on a big adventure: traveling to Costa Rica to visit my family, and enjoy a whole month of well-deserved rest. ✈️🌴

Traveling with a baby always comes with its last-minute plot twists and pre-trip stress, but we mastered the plane entertainment and survived the long journey! She loves planes and makes it so easy for us.

Never ever had I packed so intentionally and it was perfect how it all worked out 💪

I also finished the last details of my business before the launch in Costa Rica so sticking to the timeline and making it all work was possible and it was a major personal accomplishment.

These first few days in Heredia, Costa Rica were pure magic before starting the beach adventure, more to come.

Love 🥰 all these memories together as a family.

There was something about spending a month back home in Costa Rica that gently reminded me of a different way of living.

A slower pace.
Less urgency.
More presence.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I sometimes live on autopilot—always thinking about the next task, the next schedule, the next thing that needed to be done.

Coming home reminded me that not everything has to happen immediately.

That it’s okay if lunch is a little later.
If the schedule shifts.
If I finish a conversation before getting up.
If I sit and truly enjoy the people I’m with instead of constantly multitasking.

As mums, our children are our priority. But I also want Estel to grow up seeing that Mum has conversations, works, laughs, rests, and sometimes asks her to wait for a minute. Those little moments teach patience, respect, and that family life isn’t about rushing from one thing to the next.

I’m bringing that slower rhythm back with me—not because every day will look like a holiday, but because I want to remember that presence is often more valuable than perfection.

If this resonated with you, save it for the days life feels too rushed 💜 & share with others.

What is one lesson you’ve brought home from a trip that stayed with you long after you unpacked?
