There’s nothing we love more than our Itzy Ritzy Community, and we’re so excited to give y’all a look into the lives of some of the parents who make this community so special. This month, we’re pumped to be featuring Arelie Reyes! Arelie is a beloved member of our Itzy Ritzy community and an Itzy Ritzy Ambassador. Read on to get to know Arelie!
Arelie with her daughter Aliyah (1) and son Armani (3).
How did you first discover Itzy Ritzy? I first heard about Itzy Ritzy through a close friend who owned a pink Itzy Mini with Leopard Packing Cubes! I always thought it was the cutest diaper bag ever. I was pregnant at the time and immediately put the Itzy Ritzy diaper bag on my registry!
Current fave Itzy Ritzy product & why: It has to be the new Boss Tote (for me)! It is very convenient to pack everything you need into one bag. Next up are the toddler backpacks. The little backpacks give my toddlers the independence of packing their own stuff for the day on our outings!
Describe yourself in 3 words: Outgoing, friendly and supportive.
What are you currently listening to? En La Platica podcast
What are you currently watching? Young Sheldon
Go-to coffee order: Iced Caramel Macchiato (line the cup with caramel… a MUST!)
Who inspires you & why? An inspiration of mine would have to be the TikTok mom community. There are so many moms supporting moms on TikTok and I stan for that! A lot of us mothers go through so many similar things, yet we feel so alone at times. Having a platform like TikTok is so reassuring knowing other moms are getting this motherhood thing done!
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Being a stay-at-home mother to my two children. It is the hardest job I have ever had, but it is so rewarding at the same time.
Best or worst advice you received when you became a first-time parent? Find the time to take care of yourself, as well.
Fave inspirational quote: Look good, feel good.
What is your word for 2024? Happiness
Little ones’ current obsessions: My toddler boy is into ANYTHING trains & my daughter is very into EVERYTHING Frozen!
Any funny/cringey parenting moments? Blowout inside the car seat right when taking my daughter out before going into Target! (She was about 5 months old!)
Hardest part of my day is: Evening/closing shift as a SAHM
Best part of my day is: Waking up in the mornings and being grateful for all there is to life!
Your little one(s) are spending 24 hours with grandparents/friends… tell us how you’ll spend your day. Definitely a spa day, hair appointment, nail appointment, solo shopping & COFFEE!!
Anything else you’d like to share with the Itzy Ritzy community? Itzy Ritzy Packing Cubes are game CHANGERS!! They truly make me feel so empowered when I have an organized bag!
