I sit quietly wide-eyed with excitement as my sweet dad would always tell the story of how he chose my name. After seeing a beautiful woman in a movie, he knew when he had a daughter, he would name her Elaine. I hadn’t seen The Graduate until last year, but I had heard that Dustin …
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
I always call myself a Disney mom, and right now, my Disney mom heart is bursting with joy! I could spontaneously sing right now – oh wait, I just did LOL A couple years ago I had the honor of going to beautiful Anaheim, California and attending the D23 Expo. I was a little sad …
This week has been really hard given that our precious Cielito got hurt over the weekend. We took her to the vet and she’s been on pain meds and antibiotics, but she hasn’t been her active, sassy self since. We were so excited to receive a The Secret Life Of Pets 2 delivery with a …
Last month, I was a featured speaker at the Sponsorship for Influencers event in Houston, which is about a 5-hour drive from my home in Fort Worth, Texas.

I am sitting here laughing while tears roll down my face, realizing how naive I can be about life, and yet excited about how much I yet have to learn. At the start of this year, as usual, I did visioning, planning, and scheduling. I was feeling very confident about the direction of my business …
It’s nearly the end of summer. I’m already seeing back-to-school posts everywhere. My girls and I have a tradition to not start school (homeschool) until after their birthdays, so we haven’t quite gotten back in the groove yet. I’ve already talked to you about how I am not a big fan of hosting parties, but …
If you are parenting a teen, you’re probably worried about high school graduation, college readiness, and preparing your teenager to thrive in college. I’ve been praying to know how to best support my daughter as she navigates the transition between being a child and an adult, and the anxiety, excitement, and uncertainty of it all. …
I’ve been getting better news about baby lately and I’m feeling better emotionally, though my physical discomfort is almost unbearable at times. I have been using Positive Affirmations to ease anxiety and fear, because our thoughts and emotions affect our unborn babies and impact their development (no pressure, right?) and I want to make sure …
