When I launched Modern Boca Mom, I knew that little ol’ mom me could never personally be 100% representative of ALL the types of moms in our area. I originally brought on several contributors to give this blog a broad voice, hoping to tap into the psyches of all the crunchy moms, twin moms and fit moms in Palm Beach County. (It was great! Go figure that a couple of them went on to become even bigger bloggers and MOMpreneurs than me! #success)
Modern Boca Dad and I also have an only child, a girl. So, I definitely know I’m not an expert when it comes to topics like sibling dynamics or “toys that are popular with boys.” I’m also relatively new to school and all of the “education” (for both parents and students) that goes along with it. She has been doing well in Kindergarten so far…I think? But to be honest, I’m not that confident I would know if or when it was in Avery’s best interest to hire educational help like a tutor or academic coach in Boca Raton.
It’s season in South Florida which means it’s time to start dressing up and going down…town that is! I’m especially excited for Downtown Delray to come alive with style from January 23-27 for 2019 Delray Beach Fashion Week. It’s the 6th year running and the events are so much fun!
The 2019 Delray Beach Fashion Week theme is “Fashion Never Dies”, inspired by 007. It will be woven throughout the event featuring spectacular fashion, local designers, entertainment and beauty.

It’s a new year, so only natural I guess that women in droves are setting BHAGS. You’ve heard the term, right: big, hairy, audacious GOALS? Huge goals have always seemed intimidating to me, honestly. I’m an ambitious person by nature, but have found way more success by starting small and growing my goals step by step. And they usually run the gamut each year– family, work and personal growth. Let’s just call them my Boca mom goals!
Once I started writing them all down for this year, I realized so many are easily applicable to my fellow local mommies. If you’ve struggled to find your “word” for 2019 or decide what to strive for during this challenging season of life (with young-ish kids), then this post is for you!
We’re so excited for all of the 2019 Walt Disney Studios movies coming out this year! In fact, we’ve already tweeted about a few of them as information became available. Thank you Disney PR! And let me tell you, you better start saving your pennies because this a BIG YEAR for Disney Studios. Perhaps the biggest that I can remember.
Kindergarten! How did this happen?
