母亲

“在发现我们怀了儿子卢卡几个月后，我和丈夫从旧金山搬到了马林的一处出租房。我们一直很喜欢米尔谷，梦想着有一天能在那里买栋房子。在我们的女儿怀孕后不久，我们开始积极寻找，因为我们需要更多的空间。我们花了一年多的时间才找到一个家。马林市的房地产市场竞争非常激烈，我们经常被人出价超过。当我们在附近的街区看到一个“出售”的标志时，我们感到非常沮丧，并考虑再次租房。有趣的是，我们刚搬到马林的时候，我就指着这个家，还记得我跟我丈夫说过我想要一个那样的家。房子是在7月4日那周挂牌的，所以开放日比平时要安静。房子经过了更新，但相当小，挂牌为2床1浴室。外部是蓝绿色的，门是紫色的，内部是各种各样的颜色。 So not me, I am very monotone! But what sold us was the backyard! It was big and flat (a rare find in Mill Valley). We put an offer in right away and were so happy to hear it was accepted! This summer we completed our first year in this home and it’s been dreamiest year of our lives so far!"

“中立和最小的。我喜欢与天然材料混合的高僵硬空间，如皮革和木材与绣花白色墙壁。我们在进入时的第一件事就是击倒了一个将厨房从客厅分开的墙壁。这真的打开了我们的空间。我们也涂上了房子的外观黑色和室内白色。“

克里斯蒂娜•戴生于漫游葡萄酒球衣，粉刺裤子，复古腰带，还有弗蕾达·萨尔瓦多·桑德乐福鞋．萝拉穿Zara。卢卡穿着Zara的裤子和衬衫，还有差距牛仔布。

“我们的房子很小，所以几乎所有的东西对我们来说都需要有意义和特别。我喜欢把旧的和新的混合在一起，摆弄不同的纹理和自然材料。还加了很多室内植物!”

“我真的挣扎着杂乱和紊乱，发现自己在干净和放弃的时候，这是一个严重的挑战，这是两个幼儿（和一个凌乱的丈夫！）。我发现使用篮子，树干和更大储存储蓄家具是克服日常混乱的最佳方式。我有每个房间玩具的篮子，但真的试图让孩子们在他们的房间里保持孩子的东西，除非他们正在积极玩耍。“

植物生活例1。

和例2……

“我喜欢所有东西的可访问性!我们离葡萄酒之乡有30分钟的路程，离海滩有20分钟的路程，离疯狂的徒步小径有10分钟的路程，离城市有20分钟的路程!这地方非常适合一起去冒险。我喜欢被自然环绕，依偎在红杉丛中。很神奇。”

“我丈夫和我梦想有一天搬到蒙大拿或怀俄明，拥有一座大农场，生活得悠闲一些。所以，也许有一天，但我们喜欢在这里抚养我们的孩子，我们感到很幸运，我们能够这样做。”

Samurai or a Mexican dinner at La Playa. Old Mill and Sycamore Parks are favorites we visit often on weekends. I love taking the kids to the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito, the Academy of Sciences in the city, or the Mill Valley Library on Fridays when I work from home. Marin Country Mart is another favorite spot. We go there for Off the Grid and the Farmer’s Market. If we are looking for a bigger adventure, we will head to Stinson Beach or Slide Ranch. We love Sushi Ran in Sausalito or Molina in Mill Valley for date nights." ">

“我们周末出去吃很多东西。星期五晚上通常是寿司晚餐武士或墨西哥晚餐拉普拉．老磨坊和枫树公园是我们周末经常去的地方。我喜欢带孩子们去湾区发现博物馆在索萨利托,科学院在城市，或者磨坊图书馆在我家里工作的星期五。马林乡村市场是另一个受欢迎的地方。我们去那里从网格和农贸市场．如果我们正在寻找更大的冒险，我们将前往Stinson Beach或幻灯片的牧场．我们爱寿司跑了在索萨利托或莫里娜在磨坊山谷日期之夜。“

“从卢卡两个月大的时候起，我们就有了最棒的保姆。她很了不起，爱我的孩子就像爱自己的孩子一样。她碰巧是西班牙裔，只和他们说西班牙语，这是一个加分项。我妈妈在城里住得很近，所以我们可以经常见到她。我还有最好的朋友，他们从伯林盖姆一直到马林，所以我们很幸运!”

顶部结可爱。

“我喜欢使用配件最多的。我尽量保持我的画布非常简单和容易。牛仔布的地段，白色T恤，定制按钮起伏。最深的是什么的激励饰品，鞋，皮带，围巾和帽子！我喜欢打扮实用舒适。生活在北加州意味着大量的分层，我爱！我也发现自己从自下而上敷料。首先，我挑选了那天的那一天，并在那里建立了这一天。自有孩子以来，我的风格发生了变化。I was looking at pictures the other day and realized how much more I would add to my daily look before. I would layer upon layer upon layer whatever I found. More was more and I miss it. However, I feel like I’ve been either pregnant or with a baby almost four years, so less has been more practical. That said, I am starting to build my collection of fun accessories again to get back into it."

Converse, a pair of Nikes, a pair of Havaianas, and my fancy wedding shoes! And slippers." ">

“99％。在弗雷达之外，我拥有两对交谈一副尼克斯一副Havaianas.，还有我漂亮的结婚鞋!和拖鞋。”

“我妈妈在古董店找到的一条老式军用腰带是我最喜欢的东西。我发现我大部分的衣服里都有。我通常穿着它搭配t恤或剪裁合体的上衣，牛仔裤，靴子或休闲鞋。这些简单的东西让我感觉自己每天都在一起。”

Janessa Leone’s hats! She just has a very distinct voice and her designs always remain true to it. Born to Roam is also an amazing brand I love. Rayna is the force behind it and she is an insane curator of vintage finds! Other favorites include Sarah Swell Jewelry and Anna Sheffield. I love mixing rings and layering necklaces. Accessories are my favorite part of every outfit."">

“我痴迷于我们洛杉矶的商店合作伙伴Janessa Leone.帽子！她只是有一个非常独特的声音，她的设计总是仍然存在。生于漫游也是我爱的惊人品牌。Rayna是它背后的力量，她是复古发现的疯狂策展人！其他收藏包括莎拉潜水珠宝和安娜谢菲尔德．我喜欢混合戒指和分层项链。配件是我所有装备的最受欢迎的部分。“

“我旅行的时候大多购物。我不想让我有时间再购物了。所以，当我这样做时，就可以了解新的地区和商店或在线。”

Oeuf crib and matching dresser. We have a Land of Nod play table and moose chair, which he uses every day to color and read books! His favorite things at the moment are superheroes, animals, and dinosaurs, so his room has touches of each. He collects tiny figurines of just about everything, so we have these incredibly functional Ikea drawer/bin sets, which work perfectly to store his toys and hide the clutter! We have a few Animal Print Shop prints decorating the walls along with a map of Africa hanging above his crib and his preschool drawings on the opposite wall."">

卢卡刚满三岁，所以他的房间介于育儿室和学步室之间。他有一个OEUF婴儿床和匹配的梳妆台．我们有一个睡梦之乡播放桌子和驼鹿椅，他每天都使用彩色和阅读书籍！目前他最喜欢的东西是超级英雄，动物和恐龙，所以他的房间有每个人。他收集了几乎所有内容的小雕像，所以我们有这些令人难以置信的宜家抽屉/垃圾箱它可以很好地储存玩具和隐藏杂物!我们有一些动物印花店打印装饰墙壁以及非洲地图悬挂在他的婴儿床之上，他在相对的墙上的幼儿园画画。“

“他刚上幼儿园，那天接我的时候，我拿到了他的第一件艺术品。我太爱它们了，马上把它们裱起来!它们就挂在他的梳妆台上。他现在也疯狂地迷恋着超级英雄——特别是蜘蛛侠、蝙蝠侠和闪电侠!我们朋友的儿子在他三岁生日时画了一幅大规模的不真实的蝙蝠侠画。这真是一份特别而周到的礼物!他最喜欢的部分可能是行李箱形状的书柜，里面塞满了你能想到的每一本书。他喜欢读书!”

线路上。

"My son is Luca Gregory. Gregory is my husband’s name and also his father (Luca’s grandfather’s) name. We always knew it would be a part of our son's name, too, as we wish to carry the family name through. When Gregory and I started dating in college and would talk about our lives and future, we would always refer to our son as Luca. Our daughter is Lola James, which is a family name on my side. My grandmother’s name was Dolores (a formal version of Lola) and my father’s name is Jaime (the Latin version of James). I asked my dad if he would mind if we gave our daughter James as a middle name and he told me how my great-great grandmother was named Lola and she married an Englishman named James. It was a crazy coincidence!"

Magna-Tiles, Tegu blocks, and Legos! He also loves stickers and hidden picture books. He’s a pretty calm boy who mostly loves putting things together and taking them apart. His curiosity is endless and he is always trying to understand why things are the way they are. He’s really big into conversing and asking questions now, which is wonderful. This is especially special to us because during his 18-month wellness check we were encouraged to start speech therapy since he didn’t have any words. I remember getting him a formal assessment and them ranking the development from 0-10 and Luca scored a 0. I was so scared and confused, but also felt like he was so advanced in other departments. He was diagnosed with a gross motor speech delay. We started therapy right way and are so happy we acted quickly on it. He is now fully caught up and in fact he graduated speech therapy at his third birthday! So, when he wants to talk and ask questions, tell stories, sing, all of it, we just stop and listen and relish in the advancements he’s made." ">

“卢卡刚刚转三个，他最喜欢的东西是超级英雄和建筑玩具，如MAGNA-瓷砖，泰块， 和乐高玩具！他也喜欢贴纸和隐藏的图片书籍。他是一个漂亮的平静男孩，主要喜欢把东西放在一起，把它们分开。他的好奇心是无穷无尽的，他总是试图理解为什么事情是他们的方式。他真的很重要，现在询问问题，这很棒。这对我们来说特别特别，因为在他的18个月的健康检查中，我们鼓励开始开始语言治疗因为他一句话也说不出来。我记得给他一个正式的评估，他们从0-10给他的发展排名，卢卡得了0分。我很害怕，也很困惑，但也觉得他在其他部门是如此的先进。他被诊断为大肌肉运动语言迟缓。我们以正确的方式开始治疗，很高兴我们迅速采取了行动。他现在已经完全适应了，事实上，他在三岁生日时就从语言治疗专业毕业了!所以，当他想说话、问问题、讲故事、唱歌时，我们就会停下来倾听，并欣赏他所取得的进步。”

sharing concept is a struggle in our home. She loves books, music, coloring, and dancing! She’s definitely our wild one, always wanting to be outside, climbing on everything, testing our limits! She is so vocal and will usually get her way. She is sassy and stubborn! She doesn’t want to be left out of anything—it’s like she overcompensates for the fact that she is younger and shocks us all by proving she can keep up!" ">

“洛拉·詹姆斯大约18个月大。她只想要她哥哥玩的东西!的分享概念是我们家的斗争。她喜欢书，音乐，着色和跳舞！她绝对是我们狂野的，一直想在外面，爬上一切，测试我们的极限！她是如此的声乐，通常会得到她的方式。她是Sassy和顽固！她不想被遗弃出来 - 这就像她过度补偿，因为她通过证明她可以跟上她所有的事实和震惊我们！“

Minted prints and some fun garland along the walls. A Land of Nod bookshelf is covered in books, toys, and some small mementos, including a pair of casted shoes of mine when I was her age. She loves stuffed animals, so those are scattered throughout." ">

“萝拉的房间是我家里的最爱之一。那里的照明有如此明亮！它没有主题，必然是明亮的颜色。我们挂了几个薄荷墙上有印花图案和一些有趣的花环。一个睡梦之乡书架上摆满了书、玩具和一些小纪念品，包括我在她这个年龄时铸造的一双鞋。她喜欢毛绒玩具，所以到处都是。”

moses basket we purchased for her as a newborn. It is now the home to her stuffed animals. It’s the coolest handwoven basket made in Africa by local weavers. I also have a couple touches of Frida Kahlo in there that I love, as they have dual meaning for me! Oh, and this adorable antique high chair that my godmother gifted her. It's so special." ">

“她喜欢李子和麻雀摩西篮子她刚出生时我们给她买的。这里现在是她的毛绒玩具的家。这是非洲最酷的手工编织篮子，由当地织工制作。我还喜欢一些弗里达·卡罗的作品，因为它们对我来说有双重意义!还有这把可爱的古董高脚椅是我教母送给她的。是如此的特别。”

“在我的家里长大，我们并没有真正分开的男孩和女孩活动。我记得和爸爸一起钓鱼，就像我记得和妈妈玩装扮游戏一样。所以，所有通常与性别有关的活动都让我感到兴奋——看他们做运动，打扮成超级英雄或公主，进行真诚的对话，只是看着他们的小个性展现出来，他们的兴趣发展。成为所有人的旁观者，以及他们最大的啦啦队长!”

postpartum with Luca and was just finding myself again. I cried for days. I felt guilty that I wouldn’t be there for him as much as he needed me and I felt guilty for my company, Freda Salvador. Just as I was starting to more comfortably navigate the working mom thing, I get pregnant again! All this said, having Lola and Luca be so close in age is a gift. I am so grateful it happened this way for us. Of course, there are pros and cons of having kids so close together. One pro would be they are built-in best friends. Lola is catching up to Luca quickly and playing with him and engaging in all his activities. Luca loves her and is the most tender big brother. They share such a loving bond and I do think it is because of their closeness. Another pro is that we are in it now and it’s wild, but it’s also a shorter period of wild for our family. Naps are happening at the same time, so are diapers...soon we will be back to being civilized folks! Negatives are constant shifts of activities for each stage of development, making sure each is getting enough attention, there is less (almost no) time for me. It’s much more chaotic and much more intense. I mean, two in diapers for over a year is mad! But in my opinion, having gone through it, I wouldn’t change how it happened for us. I see the pros outweigh the cons." ">

"My son was 10 1/2 months when I found out I was pregnant again. We were not trying to have another yet, so it was a complete surprise. I was terrified—my son was so young, I wasn’t even back on dry ground yet. I had a difficult time产后与卢卡，再次发现自己。我哭了几天。我觉得有罪，因为他不需要他需要我，我对我的公司感到内疚，弗雷达萨尔瓦多．就在我开始适应职场妈妈的时候，我又怀孕了!说了这么多，萝拉和卢卡的年龄这么接近是一份礼物。我很感激我们能这样。当然，孩子们住得这么近有利有弊。一个专业的观点是，他们天生就是最好的朋友。萝拉很快赶上了卢卡，和他一起玩，参加他的所有活动。卢卡爱她，是最温柔的哥哥。他们之间有这样一种爱的联系，我认为这是因为他们的亲密关系。另一个好处是，我们现在就在其中，它是狂野的，但对我们的家庭来说，这是一段较短的狂野时期。 Naps are happening at the same time, so are diapers...soon we will be back to being civilized folks! Negatives are constant shifts of activities for each stage of development, making sure each is getting enough attention, there is less (almost no) time for me. It’s much more chaotic and much more intense. I mean, two in diapers for over a year is mad! But in my opinion, having gone through it, I wouldn’t change how it happened for us. I see the pros outweigh the cons."

“我怀孕是相当的无缝，无并发症或惊喜。我很幸运，决定尝试后怀孕快速，是令人难以置信的幸运，有两个健康的出生。卢卡的诞生是多了几分戏剧性。脐带沿着他的脖子上我们不知道直到我推动 - 我的医生这么快地行动，最后一切都好！“

"I don’t know. I love being a mom and would love to have another one day, but who knows what life will bring. The idea of having another in a few years is exciting, but then again I am so blessed to have two beautiful children and am insanely happy with our little tribe. So, no decisions yet."

“理解他们即将开始人生中最大的转变是很重要的。在几分钟内，你从天生的自私变成了完全的无私。从你抱起宝宝的那一刻起，一切都改变了!这不再是关于你，而是关于保护和爱这个微小的生物。不要害怕或尴尬地寻求帮助或支持。要知道，在你之前有无数的女人都有过这样的经历，事情会变得更容易。每一天的流逝都是你进入一个节奏，找到你的步伐，主宰一个母亲的一步。我是一个完美主义者，在新生儿时期很难接受“还行”。我妈妈会提醒我，房子可能还在，但如果我不小心的话，我就不会这么做了，卢卡需要我比我更需要打扫房子。萝拉出生的时候，我更仔细地听着，试着接受更多的帮助。 And it was so much easier! Accept the help! Take the dinners, let others do the laundry, clean the house—all of it!"

“通过孩子的眼睛看着世界。目睹他们发现他们周围的东西。他们小灵魂中存在的奇迹和纯真。”

“无法让他们远离这个世界上存在的邪恶和丑恶。我明白我不能让他们生活在泡泡里，我需要让他们体验，但我也想保护他们每一天的每一分钟。”

huge family! I have many memories of big family get togethers. We’d put on shows that involved skits, dancing, and singing. We moved to Carmel, California right as I was starting high school. It was amazing, but also a very shocking contrast. We could all of a sudden walk everywhere, safety no longer being a big concern. We’d tailgate at my brother's football games, cheer on my sister at her softball games, and travel up the coast to San Francisco often. My mom was able to introduce us to her city and I fell so deeply in love I moved here after college."">

“我在萨尔瓦多长大，但出生在激烈的内战期间，所以我实际上出生在迈阿密，因为我的父母在最糟糕的时期住在那里。我的母亲是美国人，父亲是萨尔瓦多人。我两岁的时候我们搬回了萨尔瓦多。我有一个哥哥和一个妹妹。在萨尔瓦多长大很难，因为安全和保障是一个非常现实的问题，但它也很美丽和热带!我们周末会去海滩、湖边、火山，参观农场。对于一个热爱户外和探索的孩子来说，这是一个梦想!和我的兄弟姐妹和堂兄弟姐妹们一起经历了无穷无尽的冒险。我有无数的阿姨，叔叔，堂兄弟姐妹。我们有一个巨大的家庭!我有很多关于大家庭聚会的记忆。我们会表演短剧、舞蹈和唱歌。在我上高中的时候，我们搬到了加州的卡梅尔。这是惊人的，但也是一个非常令人震惊的对比。我们可以突然到处走，安全不再是一个大问题。我们一起去看哥哥的足球赛，一起为妹妹的垒球比赛加油，还经常沿着海岸前往旧金山。我妈妈把我们介绍给了她的城市，我深深地爱上了她，大学毕业后就搬到了这里。”

“我的父母从我很小的时候就非常支持我。总是鼓励我追随自己的梦想，做自己想做的事——我必须选择。但他们也总是强调，我应该努力成为最好的，永不放弃。我爸爸总是提醒我越努力，就越幸运。我真的很想把这些传给我的孩子们。我妈妈也很信任我。她说她相信我们会做正确的事，我们说过会做的事。我在成长过程中从未被禁足过，但如果我辜负了她的信任或让她失望，那将是最糟糕的事情!我觉得这让我成为了‘好孩子’。”

“对我来说，让我的孩子能说两种语言，并与萨尔瓦多建立紧密联系，这非常重要。我想让他们了解那里的文化——食物和我小时候听过的民歌。这并不容易，但我试着用西班牙语和英语和他们交谈。我父亲住在那里，我们尽量多去看看。我们很幸运，他也每两个月来一次。我有很多来自萨尔瓦多的家人住在附近，他们也会去看望孩子们。我丈夫总是开玩笑说他们在一起的时候声音最大!拉丁人可不安静!”

“我希望教会我的孩子们最重要的事情是去爱每一个人，无论他们的肤色、宗教信仰、社会经济背景等等。我想教他们在任何情况下都要尊重别人，在倾听别人的观点和意见时要虚心。我希望我能保护他们远离这个世界上所有的丑陋，但我知道这是不可能的，所以我发誓要让他们看到我们身边的美丽。我将强调那些让世界变得更好的人。告诉他们，爱能战胜一切邪恶。作为一个母亲，我觉得这是我的责任。”

The Happiest Baby on the Block, On Becoming Baby Wise, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. All of those were so great. I feel like I took so much from each and was able to develop my own method for my children. My largest resource has been pinging fellow moms and the internet, websites such as Mother. I find that motherhood can be very isolating, but to see other women going through similar things and listening to them share their own struggles and accomplishments is comforting. I like 'real' stories and experiences, so I relate most to both these platforms." ">

“我读了很多书，我希望我能在我的孩子来之前读到其中的许多书，甚至我希望我能保留更多的信息。我读街区最幸福的婴儿，如何成为明智的宝宝，健康的睡眠习惯，快乐的孩子．所有这些都太棒了。我觉得我从每个人那里汲取了这么多，并且能够为我的孩子开发自己的方法。我最大的资源一直在割草妈妈和互联网，母亲等网站。我发现母亲会非常隔离，但要看到其他女人经过类似的东西，并听他们分享自己的斗争和成就是安慰的。我喜欢'真实'的故事和经验，所以我对这两个平台都有大部分。“

so hard. I am still figuring it out. I know that for me, guilt is overwhelming and I work hard to keep it at bay. I remind myself constantly that I am doing what I love and I hope that one day my children will be proud of all my hard work and the fact that I pursued my dreams. My husband is incredibly supportive and believes in what we are building so much and for that I am lucky. He is an amazing dad and carries both our roles when I travel I find comfort in that my kids are receiving so much love and affection when I am away. At the end of the day, I work hard for my family and they keep me going. This stage in our lives is so stressful, but the moment I walk in the door every evening it all washes away. We have a nightly dance party with the kids when we get home and we just run around the living room having a ball! The kids’ laughter and excitement is everything!"">

“哦，男人！它是所以难的。我仍然弄清楚了。我知道对我来说，内疚是压倒性的，我努力将它保持在海湾。我不断提醒自己，我正在做我所爱的事情，我希望有一天，我的孩子会为我所有的辛勤工作和我追求梦想的事实感到自豪。我的丈夫非常友好地支持，并相信我们为我们建立了这么多，而且我很幸运。他是一个惊人的爸爸，当我旅行时，我发现我的孩子们发现了我的孩子在我离开时收到这么多的爱和情感。在一天结束时，我为我的家人努力工作，让我继续前进。在我们生活中的这个阶段是如此压力，但我每天晚上走在门口的那一刻都可以脱离。当我们回到家时，我们有一个夜间跳舞的孩子们，我们只是在有球的客厅里跑去！孩子们的笑声和兴奋就是一切！“

“是的。也就是说，我每花一个小时在工作上，就有一个小时没有在家里陪我的孩子。也就是说，每件事都必须有一个目的，一个明确定义的目标。当我在办公室的时候，我会努力提高工作效率，这样我就可以在孩子们醒着的时候全身心地关注他们。”

“那是另一个我没有掌握的人。我试着比每个人早些时候醒来，只是躺在床上思考并在游戏中追求这一天。”

“我一直在努力。我希望我能说我有，但我没有。我的家人也一直鼓励我开一家。我知道这很重要，我也有动力尽快开始!现在，只是陪我的孩子们散步!当我和他们一起玩耍、跑步、跳舞时，我发现自己最快乐。”

Freda Salvador. Megan Papay and I started the brand about 6 years ago and launched a year later. We design and make shoes for pounding pavement. We focus on redefining classics and adding a twist—a little hardware, an unexpected material combination, etc. We have two retail stores, an e-commerce site, a wholesale business, and a newly renovated trailer. I love what we do! It’s complex but exciting, challenging in the most amazing way!" ">

“我是联合创始人和设计师弗雷达萨尔瓦多．梅根Papay我在大约6年前开始了这个品牌，并在一年后推出。我们设计并制作鞋子的鞋子。我们专注于重新定义经典并添加一个小硬件，意外的材料组合等。我们有两个零售商店，电子商务网站，批发业务和新装修预告片．我爱我们做的事!它很复杂，但令人兴奋，具有最惊人的挑战!”

"Megan and I met while working for another shoe company. We formed part of the design team and were responsible for designing shoes that were comfortable. The demographic we were serving was more mature geared towards career women, so the style wasn’t fully aligned with ours, but we learned so much about technical design and how craftsmanship is of utmost importance. We had great design synergy and really worked well together, so we set out to start our own line geared towards the urban girl. We launched Fall 2012 with the purpose of providing every day, statement, pound-the-pavement, no nonsense shoes!"

“如前所述，我在萨尔瓦多长大，直到我15岁。我们搬到加利福尼亚州卡梅尔，以获得更强大的教育。在高中我参加了圣地亚哥大学，研究了商业营销和意大利。我一直想去到时装学校，但我的父亲强烈鼓励我先获得商业学位，我现在很感激。我毕业后搬到了旧金山，并获得了Neiman Marcus的个人购物助理。我在那里工作了一年，但真的很想落后于时尚界的场景，设计和创造产品！我决定在旧金山辞职。我几年后，我收到了一名时尚的MFA。我的一部分教育包括在内在米兰的Ars Sutoria技术鞋类设计课程。我在一个鞋子的家庭中长大，所以鞋子对我来说很自然。我为另一个当地鞋业公司工作了一年，我遇到了梅根。我总是梦想着我的有一天和我的行像足够的幸运，迎接分享同样愿景的合作伙伴，我们开始弗雷达萨尔瓦多。“

“做一个企业主很难，因为你从来没有完全停止工作，从来没有完全停止工作。这意味着我不断地与家人和工作分享我的精神和情感能力。在做母亲之前创业的时候，我并不明白这一点，但我仍然不会改变任何事情。”

"I am so lucky I have an amazing partner who is a mother herself and also an incredible team! I can’t say it was a typical maternity leave, because I was always checking in on emails, but it was nice that I could be at home with my babies. I was available if someone needed me, but Megan took on so much both times. She really encouraged me to shut down after each kid was born. I feel so fortunate for her!"

“我无法想象人们会怎么做。从身为母亲的伴侣那里能得到如此多的理解、同情和鼓励。我不知道有多少次我去接梅根去出差，在和我的孩子们道别后，我哭得泪流满面，她崩溃了，也做了同样的事——然后我们一笑置之。知道那个人确切地知道你正在经历什么感觉是如此特别。他们理解并尊重你的优先级。我们一致认为家庭永远是第一位的，因为我们有两个人，我们可以互谅互让。”

"I become most inspired during my travels. If you travel with me you would notice that half the time I am looking down at the streets, watching people’s feet as they walk by rather than looking up like a normal tourist. I love menswear most of all. Their footwear is so functional and simple—I like to imagine it for women, but with added interest and flare. I am also inspired by interiors, art, jewelry... Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest do not work as well for me. I find it hard to be original when sourcing for inspiration there."

“我不知道!这真的是命中注定的…所以me things live, some don't! I have no idea what I am doing, but I love having a garden and encouraging our kids to be involved in the process from planting to pruning to harvesting. It helps getting them to eat their veggies if they assisted in picking and prepping them. It’s been a fun learning experience on what to grow and what not to. I have so much to learn still. My mother-in-law helps me prune when she visits! I usually have it overgrown."

"Each year, we travel 3-4 times internationally and about 3-4 times to the opposite coast. It’s so hard and I haven’t felt it get easier. If anything, it’s easier when they are little and don’t realize you are leaving. Once they start picking up on a suitcase being packed, mentions of an airplane, and a heavy goodbye, it’s a whole other level of hard! FaceTime and photos help, as do busy distracting days."

"Megan and I tend to be heads-down people. We rarely look up and celebrate the successes. We just keep moving on to working on the next goal. But those moments when we see strangers wearing our shoes, that’s pretty awesome! I love creating and building a brand and community that's proving to be strong. It’s incredibly rewarding to think that this all came from a shared vision among our team! What I like least is always being on. I dream about vacationing on a remote island that has no internet or cell service."

“我是这样认为的。它迫使我更容易、更快地做出艰难的决定。它鼓励我对自己热衷或反对的事情直言不讳。”
