A full on 14 year old who is a freshman in high school and prepping for her quinceñera next summer... Sidebar: prepping for this post had me all ...
2024: The Year of Little Disciplines
2022, I flowed.2023, I savored.And in 2024, I'm gonna 'discipline'. Myself, that is. If last year was all about savoring the transition of birthing my second son and settling into being a Mom of two boys under two... Then this year, (now that I finally feel like I have capacity) my intention is ...
First Beach Trip With Two Under Two
Fall is officially here - marking the end of my "hot postpartum mom summer". Most of my maternity leave from May through mid-July was spent at home... Adjusting to the realities of caring for a newborn and toddler while trying to wrap the bare edges of my fingers around something loosely defined ...
39 Weeks To Drew
I did it. I made it to full term. A whole whopping 39 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy before our second son, Drew, made his debut on May 10, 2023. ^^ Our last photos as a family of three - taken by my brother a couple days before Drew arrived. Considering my first labor experience with ...
2023 Intentions
Last year, my intention was to "be more open to flow *with* wherever the waves of life may take me in 2022." And it was a struggle... My first full year as a Mom, transitioning back to work, getting back in touch with my my mind and body, only to find out I was pregnant sooner than anticipated and ...
Little Happenings 2022 :: Q4
I've decided I will no longer share blog goals on the blog because when I do, I never meet them. HA. And now here we are, my January goal of finishing Q4 2022 is finally getting checked off mid-April. I technically had all the photos uploaded in my draft... It's just the words that always take a ...

Postcards from Christmas 2022
This year marked the first time Charles and I hosted our family for Christmas Eve, allowing everyone to sleep in the next morning and enjoy a super relaxing Christmas Day at their respective homes. A new tradition that everyone was in agreement should continue. Christmas Day, we had leftovers for ...
Little Happenings 2022 : Q2 Recap
As Spring bloomed, so did our social activities. It was overwhelming at first considering we had been in pretty strict isolation since bringing Beau home last September. My social capacity needed retraining so it was a gradual adjustment. But, in hindsight, I'm really glad we made a point to ...
Fine Dining At Home with A Piece of Mine, LLC
A memory that deserves its own post... Today is Charles's 36th birthday and we've got a hotel booked for a mini-staycation while my Ma watches Beau. But this day last year, we were newly initiated parents, barely functioning beyond caring for baby and reheating frozen meals. So today's post is ...
Little Happenings 2022 : Q1 Recap
The first of many posts in my "Let's Catch Up On The Blog" campaign, here's a little (big) photo memory dump from the first three months of this year. I initially tried to do a full recap from January to September but it was way too much for one post so we're gonna keep it bite sized with a ...
First Mother’s Day
It's only taken me 8 months postpartum to make my way out of the 'new mom fog' but here I am, proud and present on the blog.
