Born, raised and raising in Milwaukee, Mandy is a full-time working mom that runs on faith, Diet Coke and to-do lists – not necessarily in that order. She and her Jersey boy of 14 years, Blake, are parents to the handsomest of handfuls (Cristian, 11). Armed with her Sicilian mother’s sarcasm and Mexican father’s temper, her Type A(-) personality is always trying to make the pieces of her puzzle fit. Always in need a margarita and a nap, Mandy is constantly trying to figure out how to make the two happen simultaneously. She is passionate about body positivity and special needs. Mandy hand-stamps jewelry to appease her crafty side, release aggression and raise money for charity. Mandy is beyond thankful to have found a community where she can share her insight, creativity and fierceness with other like-minded women on the same journey through motherhood.
