Hi, I’m Natalia Duarte, founder of Time2Savor and a mother of three.

Even though I enjoy cooking, I often find myself wishing someone could simply handle dinner for us so that we could focus on what really matters: savoring the precious moments we have together as a family. Growing up in Mexico, I often experienced the comfort of homemade meals prepared with care and shared around the table, and I still feel nostalgic for the calm and connection those moments created.

Over the past few years, I started a networking group called Evanston Professional Moms, and through countless conversations about work, family, and everyday life, one topic kept coming up again and again: dinnertime. I realized that so many moms shared the same feeling that dinner had become another source of stress instead of a meaningful moment of connection. That inspired me to create a simple, trustworthy solution to help families reclaim this important daily ritual.

At its heart, Time2Savor is about bringing families back to the table through simple but wholesome meals that create space for conversation, presence, and connection. The time we have with our kids is fleeting. Let’s be intentional about creating small moments together that will last a lifetime.
