about me

sweetestmami

I’m a romantic at heart, married to a total foodie who shares my love of new wave music and different cultures. I'm a sweet mama to twin girls and a silly boy, who light up my life and keep me on my toes! I love brunches and spa days with my besties and jet-setting around the world - my fave travel spots are Paris and Italy! I love making things pretty while keeping it simple, and create beautiful weddings under my boutique event company in Miami 'Sweetest Celebrations'. I'm here to share inspiration for a beautiful life and support other sweet mamas and boss ladies struggling to do it all while maintaining their identity and sanity. xoxo Haydee (iDay, like Friday!)

Lucas loved his water park birthday party. Love this sweet boy and so grateful for the good weather today. I felt so happy watching him play with his friends and enjoying a day in the sun. Such a sweet reminder to keep things simple and that less truly is more. Xo Haydee #mommydiaries #lucasbenicioturnsseven #birthdayboy #birthdayvibes

Just warming up... Xo Haydee #birthdayvibes #lucasbenicioturnsseven #mommydiaries

Celebrating our sweet boy today, and starting our day with a grateful heart. Happy birthday Lucas, we love you to the moon and back! Xo Haydee #mommydiaries #lucasbenicioturnsseven #sweetestlucas #birthdayvibes

It is with a heavy heart I mourn the loss of my father, Jorge Almedina, almost eight years to the date when I last saw him in Puerto Rico. He passed away yesterday after battling pneumonia for two weeks in the ICU along with a series of complications.⁣ ⁣ My relationship with my father has always been complicated since I was not raised by him. I left Puerto Rico when I was barely one year old and grew to know him through a series of trips back to P.R. that began when I was a little girl and tried to keep up as an adult.⁣ ⁣ Despite his many quirks, I have always esteemed him as a man of strong character with a huge heart and natural tendency for kindness. It was a love that cannot be described easily. He was fidgety, could never keep still and always spoke his mind (for better or for worse). He loved his children unconditionally and we loved him dearly, in our own ways.⁣ ⁣ I see so much of me in my father. He loved words - a lover, and writer, of poems and short stories - and was a tiny man with a huge heart, who drew energy from being surrounded by others. A stubborn man, who knew what he wanted and did everything in his power to protect and support those he loved. A man fueled by making the world a better place and living on his own terms. He never embraced this world of social media and would rather walk miles to visit a friend and write letters to stay in touch than make a phone call or send an electronic message. I received my last letter from him just last month, thanking me for our annual Christmas card.⁣ ⁣ I am still struggling with understanding the emotions I feel as I deal with the reality that he is gone today. Although he was not part of my daily life, he will always be part of my DNA in so many ways.⁣ ⁣ Thank you, Papi, for always pouring your love down on me.⁣ May you rest in peace knowing you are loved greatly.⁣ ⁣ xo⁣ Haydee Duarte⁣ (Tu Quinta Flor)

Hi! I'm Haydee - pronounced i-DAY - and it's been a while since I did a #FridayIntroduction, so ⁣here are FIVE FACTS about me: ⁣ (1) I always text my hubby a selfie as soon as I'm out of the salon! This was taken by my awesome stylist who did my hair and makeup for our holiday photos - Send her some love @natalieurquiola from @bloheartsyou ⁣ (2) I love to WRITE and am (IN)Famous for my long IG posts, especially when they are personal. I would love to write a book someday to lean into my love for writing. ⁣ ⁣ (3) I am a bit OCD when it comes to organization and planning. I love writing EVERYTHING down on paper and truly believe LESS IS MORE and that surrounding yourself with pretty things truly does #sparkjoy. Needless to say, I'm a HUGE fan of @mariekondo - did I mention I love #fenghsui?⁣ ⁣ (4) I struggle with eating right and exercising. Gluten knocks me out but I LOVE BREAD. I can only exercise in a real life group setting and a huge fan of Hot Yoga and Pure Barre, and am a Whole 30 'survivor' who lost 20lbs since discovering #whole30. #keptitoff #seekingexercisebuddy ⁣ (5) I am a multi-passionate #visionary who cannot start anything without first having the END IN MIND. This drives some people CRAZY but it's the way my brain is wired. I create VISION BOARDS for practically every project I start, to keep me on track for achieving my goal. Behind all of this, I'm a mom, wifey and #bossbabe with a desire to change the world one life at a time. My personal mission is to spread kindness and joy through my passion for intimate celebrations and bringing order and beauty into everything I do. My favorite quote is "What is done in LOVE is done well" and my word for 2019 is #FAITH. Your turn - Please share something fun so I don't feel so vulnerable on my own. I'd love to chat with you over a virtual coffee (or wine) date if you share a passion or just want to connect! xo Haydee PS #sorrynotsorry for hashtags in the post - IG has a limit on characters! #visionary #boutiqueweddingplanner #risingtidesociety #coffeechat #eventdesigner #livingwithintention #intimatewedding #elopement #miamiliving

X O X O My heart grew infinitely in size when I became a mother. These sweet children have shown me the true meaning of LOVE. Grateful for them, today and always, and consider myself the luckiest girl alive having met and fallen in love with their handsome father. Sending my love to you and yours today and always. May your day be filled with love and unexpected moments of joy. xo Haydee Photo by @katbraman
