Mella the Mama

Come navigate the joys and challenges of this magical thing called motherhood with me!

About Mella

Hi, I’m Mel! But my closest friends call me Mella. I’m a mommy to this precious lil’ munchkin, a military spouse and full time working mama.

Likkle bit more about me:

  • I grew up in Jamaica and only moved to the USA about 5 years ago to be with my active duty military husband. We go back every chance we get, it’ll always be home.
  • I am OBSESSED with finding the best of the best for my toddler to thrive in her stages of development. I am pretty good at it if I do say so myself haha
  • I am currently rediscovering my style 2 years into my postpartum journey (I’ve been loving Amazon for clothes lately because 1. no dressing room meltdowns when something doesn’t fit haha and 2. easy returns)

I also love: vanilla ice cream, a cute comfy matching set, fresh coconut water, riding in my Jeep with the top off, a cozy coffee shop, brunch on Sunday mornings, solo Trader Joe’s runs.

I started this blog as a digital mom diary to journal and share time-saving mom hacks, parenting tips and tricks, baby essentials, toddler must-haves, baby and toddler gift ideas, toddler-friendly travel essentials, top tips for traveling with babies and toddlers, potty training hacks for parents – everything beyond and in between!

Whether you have found that perfect gift you have been searching for (or not haha), a laugh from a relatable moment or a hack that gives you some peace of mind, I’m happy you are here!
