Welcome to my blog— where my professional and personal lives collide. I prefer to build a partnership with my clients, so it's important that you know the type of person with whom you'll be working and this will certainly shed some light on what I'm all about. I hope you enjoy my little slice of life!

Prioritizing

September 12, 2017 by Colleen

I think motherhood is (among other things) one giant lesson in prioritizing. We are staring down the barrel of fall and I have no idea what happened to spring and summer. Most of the past few months have been spent figuring out how to balance motherhood and work; just for funsies, we threw in buying […]

February 2017: Recap

April 4, 2017 by Colleen

I know, I know– it’s April and here I am posting about February. I’m totally playing the baby card on this one… February was a big milestone month! Early on, The Boy began rolling over, getting himself to his belly from his back, which we were not expecting to have happen to soon! We saw […]

Twenty Sixteen

December 31, 2016 by Colleen

I know some might say 2016 was a rough year, but in the Natali household (no longer the LeMasters-Natali household because I finally got around to officially changing my name) it was one of the best, namely because this couple became a trio. Here’s a look at some of our best moments from the year: […]

December 13, 2016 by Colleen

Edit: I wrote this Weekend Routine post while still pregnant and now that Luca is here, I will have to do a post to compare to our new reality. For now, here are some thoughts as if we were still a couple and not a family of three… I was talking to my aunt a while back […]

Website Launch | Wine Women & Shoes

November 14, 2016 by Colleen

This website launch is a bit of a two-for-one, in that this was the first WordPress Multisite install that I have launched for a client, which means multiple websites, all managed by one neat and tidy backend CMS. It makes my OCD very happy. Originally, the ladies at Wine, Women & Shoes approached me about […]
