Lifestyle Blog featuring Travel, Parenting, Expat life, Recipes, beauty and more.

Behind the blog

Ellen Oliveira blogger

HELLO THERE!

Welcome to my little corner of the world. Nice to see ya! I’m Ellen Oliveira.

A little about me, I’m a mama, wife, content creator, Christ-follower, music lover, singer and warm weather is my thing. Born in Brazil, raised in Sunny Florida now dipping our toes into the cold Pacific waters of Portugal.

We recently relocated to Portugal right before all this Pandemic business and have been trying to settle in as best as we can to your new home in the midst of it all.

I jump to and fro red and white wines (currently digging on some Cabernet) Obsessed with drinking sparkling water and black coffee. (I never run out of these 3 drinks)

I’m not into sweets but can devour french fries like nobody’s business.  I’m just a mom trying to get through the day without daytime drinking and losing those last few pregnancy pounds that never seem to go away.

Thanks for checking Young Love Mommy out (YLM for short). I’m really glad you are here.  I really am. It means what I’m writing is reaching folks and that’s the whole point!

When and why did this blog come about?

Soon after my son was born, this blog came to life. I had become a research freak! Most of everything I give him, feed him, purchase for him is extensively researched.  It’s made me a bit paranoid but at least I’m well informed.

With this blog, I share just that. Whether it be an awesome product I was introduced to, a cool new parenting style I’m digging or a rant you are sure to find it here. Who knew I would turn into a blogger and for this long?

I hope to enlighten some of you, make you laugh, encourage or just simply say… I get it!

Whether you’re a new mom, have been a mother for years or contemplating becoming a mom, this will be a place where we can share our knowledge and help each other out. I’m sharing a little bit of everything on this blog from our daily lives, travel, fashion, food, lifestyle, tips & tricks, DIY projects (I like to party plan)…  You’ll find a little bit of everything here

Ellen Oliveira

Prior to becoming a mother I never knew about topics such as Baby-led weaning, co-sleeping, CIO, babywearing, HUH? As I’m sure some of us still haven’t.  But in the world of motherhood, there is so much to learn and I hope to do just that.

I’m not here to tell you how you should parent your child, I’m here to shed some light on what my life is like as a mother and maybe learn new things and share what I’ve learned with all of you.

Thanks for stopping by!  Drop me a comment or visit me on social media (I’m most active on Instagram)

Or head to the Home page!

Remember, It takes a village.

Taking on a new hobby… I’ve occasionally dabbl Taking on a new hobby… I’ve occasionally dabbled in arts & crafts but nothing official. Could it be a bout of midlife crisis? Sure 😎
Have been diving into tutorials online, art specifically drawing fundamentals, signed up for a couple of domestika courses and acquired some professional supplies to begin. (I really mostly used my kids watercolor pallets before 😅) 
Excited to see if I can actually learn all of the basics and become a “real” 👩🏻‍🎨
