Episode 299: Revolutionizing the Gifting Experience For Our Kids with Elian Savodivker, founder of Nabu

Tired of gifting the same toys to kids? Our guest this week is super papá, Elian Savodivker, CEO and Co-Founder of Gift Nabü. Gift Nabu is a fun (and tactful) way to ask for swim lessons, zoo membership, dance classes, etc for your child’s birthday. Their goal is to increase access to incredible experiences for children who would otherwise be left out. He also talks about running the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative Education Scaling Program, where he met Paulina!

Before the episode, we also talk about our crazy experience at the 2022 Super Bowl! You’ll have to check out our recap video on Instagram too.

More about Elian: Elian Savodivker is the CEO and founder of Gift Nabü, a startup that is revolutionizing the gifts we give kids. Parents can create a birthday campaign for their child's birthday and share it with friends and family. Then, those friends and family can gift towards the campaign and the parent can book!

STEM, arts, and sports summer camps can be life changing experiences for kids, however they are often unaffordable for many families. With Gift Nabü’s collaborative gift giving. friends and family contribute toward the gift your child will never forget.

Apart from his work on Gift Nabü, Elian has helped hundreds of Latinx entrepreneurs through LBAN and the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative Education Scaling Program for which he has run since 2019.

Pick or Tip of the Week

Paulina’s tip this week is to READ THE REVIEWS before you purchase something on Amazon! She ordered some Valentine’s Day goodies for her daughters’ classmates off of Amazon and didn’t check the reviews as well as she should have. You’ll have to listen to the episode to listen to the major oops she almost gave to the classmates LOL - she was almost that mom.

Bricia is loving these cute shoes from Bobux for her daughter. They’re perfect for everyday wear!

Episode 295: Keeping It Real with the Super Mamas: A Catch Up Session

We’re back from a long hiatus! We recorded this episode earlier this month but honestly, mom life and work life has gotten the best of us so we’re barely publishing now. The end of the year is always a time for us so we have a lot of updates! Between our kids celebrating Halloween, celebrating milestone birthdays for Krista and Paulina, plus Día de Muertos and family changes, there is so much going on in our lives. We’re so excited to be back recording new episodes and we promise we have more things coming your way! We couldn’t stay away any longer - we missed our sisters! Come catch up with us! 

Super Mama Lesson of the Week

Sometimes we can mean something but the other person may receive it a certain way. It’s not about you it’s about them. - Bricia 

Episode 261: Keeping Up with the Super Mamas: 2020 Holidays at Home

Happy holidays from the Super Mamas! This week we’re catching you up our holiday plans - what we did for Thanksgiving, how we’ve decorated our homes for Christmas, and our parents FINALLY visiting (safely) after a year apart! We also have a new family inside joke about Paulina and Bricia’s daughter that you are going to love. 😂 Bricia is also going on her first trip since Augustina was born and she’s so excited to do absolutely nothing, that she may extend the trip even longer. 😂 Paulina is just glad the girls are back in school after a week long vacation because the house is a mess and she is done cleaning up! At least for now.

We’re so blessed to be able to spend time with our family this holiday season since we know not everyone can due to covid, so we’re soaking in all the bonding while we can! And we’re so lucky to have our Super Mamas sisters! How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Share you traditions with us below!

Our Christmas Tree Decorating Tips

• Search “Whimsical Christmas Tree” on Pinterest for Christmas tree inspiration

• Use ribbon. You can change it up every year but keep the same ornaments, and it looks like a completely different tree!

• Try a theme! Paulina is doing “red & gold” to keep a classic and Bricia has a pink tree.

• Get shatterproof ornaments while the kids are still little. They may bump into the tree while they’re learning to walk or try to play with the colorful ornaments, so wait to invest in good ornaments until they’re a little older (and less clumsy 😂).

Pick or Tip of the Week

You always have to be prepared for kid sniffles during the colder seasons! Paulina always tries to go for the natural or homeopathic remedies and one of her fave brands is Boiron. The cold calm tablets are non-drowsy and great at the first sign of a cold. You put it under the kid’s tongues and it always helps boost their immune system and not get full blown sick. Anything to help during this time!

Speaking of Fancy trapos like we do in the entirety of this episode, Bricia’s pick are these fancy servilletas. She uses them every time she has get togethers. They’re thick, elegant, and disposable too!
