Welcome to Wife on Standby!

A Little About Me

Hello there! I’m Lulu Tavares, and I’m delighted to welcome you to Wife on Standby. Here, in this digital nook of our lives, I invite you to join me on my journey as a Pilot’s Wife, Mommy, and a Woman figuring out life.

Originally, I come from the vibrant and warm island of Cape Verde, bringing with me a rich blend of culture, traditions, and hospitality. However, my life took an exciting turn when I met my husband, Federico, an airplane pilot from Italy. Together, our love story is a beautiful blend of Cape Verdean warmth and Italian charm, and it has taken us on many adventures, both in the skies and on the ground.

My Journey

As a pilot’s wife, life is always an adventure—hence the name Pilot’s Wife on Standby! While Federico navigates the skies with precision and grace, I navigate the challenges and joys of home life. Moreover, being a mom to our wonderful child, Frank, is the most rewarding yet demanding role I’ve ever taken on. Every day, I’m constantly learning, adapting, and growing, just as much as our little one is.

Why I Started This Blog

The reason is simple yet profound: because I believe in the power of storytelling. As a result, I want to share the highs and lows of our journey as a mom and wife—the joy of witnessing our child grow and learn, the challenges of balancing work, marriage, and personal aspirations, and the unique experiences that come with being married to a pilot.

Through this blog, I aim to create a space where I can candidly share my experiences—the laughter, the tears, the victories, and the struggles. Ultimately, I hope to connect with other families, couples, and individuals who may find solace, inspiration, or simply a moment of solidarity in our stories.

My Mission

Above all, I want to celebrate the beauty of diversity, both within our family and in the world around us. By doing so, I aim to enrich our lives and those of our children by showcasing the magic of blending cultures and traditions.

Furthermore, I strive to spread love, kindness, and positivity. In a world that can sometimes feel chaotic and uncertain, I hope my family blog serves as a beacon of hope, reminding you that amidst life’s challenges, there is always beauty to be found.

So, welcome to our corner of the internet. I’m honored to have you here, and I can’t wait to embark on this adventure together.

With love,

Wife On Standby! Xoxo 🤍✨😘
