I'm a twenty-something year old born and raised in New Jersey within a Cuban household. Growing up — I knew that an entrepreneurial path would be for me. While I did become a registered nurse and more recently, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner — I am a multi-hyphenate serial entrepreneur. I started a bakery, created a woman empowerment group called the Bloom Social Club, co-founded an online clothing boutique called Laurel & Magnolia and I am the CEO of a childcare center.

I wanted to create this site as a place to share my everyday life and journey, along with tips and tricks surrounding all things fashion, motherhood, entrepreneurship and lifestyle. My ultimate goal is to make this site a place where all women can feel empowered in their everyday life.

Come say hi and keep up with my day-to-day on Instagram at @bylaurengarcia! Can't wait to meet you!

welcome babe,

2021 will FOREVER be the best year I've ever had. On April 11, 2021, I married the love of my life and we welcomed our little boy on October 31st, 2021 at 1:38am. After a miscarriage, welcoming our sweet little rainbow baby was the sweetest gift God could ever give me. I want to share my journey as a first time mommy and all the tips and tricks I've learned along the way!

I come from a very tight knit Cuban family. We're always together and when we're not, we're always talking. We're loud and crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way. And now, we're adding Gennaro's Italian family. One big happy family!

My family is super important to me.

I graduated from Seton Hall University Nursing School in 2015 and have been a registered nurse for almost 5 years. I've worked in a clinic, emergency room, and as a school nurse. I'm currently in school to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and cannot wait to graduate!

I'm a registered nurse.

I think 'OBSESSED' is an understatement. My dog is my child and I hate being away from him. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixed with a Yorkie. He's like a little Sour Patch Kid, sometimes he's sour and sometimes he's sweet. LOL

I am a crazy dog mom.
