Tap, tap, 1, 2, 3,
Is this mic on? I want to acknowledge something. I know around these parts, on my blog and in my life I have shared my beliefs. Some may call it my soapbox, others, call it a platform, and then there is the buzz word influencer (I don’t by any means think I’m doing any such things). I like to call it sharing my heart. Call it what you want this is what’s going down around here. So if it doesn’t strike your fancy or you’re uninterested I highly recommend you stop reading right now and mosey on back to your regularly scheduled feed. And if you’re still interested go ahead and click the read more tab…go ahead I’ll meet you on the drop down. Continue reading “Tap, tap, 1, 2, 3,”
#momlife
On an instagram post I admitted to fighting, denying, and judging the momlife movement. Not because I’m not a mom, but generally speaking it is used to “complain” about being a mom, or it’s the proverbial shoulder shrug of oh well, momlife. Don’t get me wrong I have and will continue to admit that momming is not for the faint of heart. Whether you choose it, want it, don’t want it, but find yourself parenting a little human, it’s not a stroll in the park. There are moments of peace wrapped up around moments of pure chaos. My motto is usually “embrace the chaos”. When I began accepting this momlife, I learned to be thankful for the little bundle of joys that know exactly how to push me to a limit I never knew I could stretch to. What they don’t realize is they are in the business of growing me, I am forever grateful. Continue reading “#momlife”

Love Bugs
It’s been a year since I left the classroom and took a full time job as a mom and wife. It was something I had wanted for a long time. I was torn between work and always feeling drained. I realized I had so much patience with my students and by the time I got home I felt like I had ran out or patience. I am finding out that there is a small caveat to that thought. After a year of moving to Minnesota for six months and then moving back to California I have learned a few things… Continue reading “Love Bugs”
PóPó
Back in December my sister and I decided to go visit my Grandma or PóPó as Zoë calls her. It had been a year since we had last visited and as we all know you never know how long your loved ones will be here. Lucky for us she’s still here and she’s still as sassy as ever. It’s taken me some time to process our visit and with the holiday’s and just life I finally decided to share some of the pictures from our trip. Before we saw our grandma we made a quick stop in New York to meet my dad. It was a crazy fast trip, but we made the most of it! My favorite part of the trip has to be the snow. I was looking forward to a white Christmas, so it was fun to experience a little snow. Looking back I’m extremely thankful for the time I got with my family and we are fortunate enough to have been able to see the rest of our family for Christmas. Continue reading “PóPó”
Uno, dos, Primos!
Never in a million years would I guess my sister and I would have been pregnant at the same time let alone have our kids due the same month and then to be only delivered two days apart. So naturally we decided to throw their first birthday together. Continue reading “Uno, dos, Primos!”
