Welcome To My Blog

Welcome To My Blog!! I am the proud mother to Cruz & Yvonne! My children have taught me that big things really do come in small packages & what true unconditional love feels like. It's a blessing to watch them grow & experience all the wonders of the world for the first time. It makes me appreciate all the beauty in life more when seeing it through their bright & curious eyes. I look forward to sharing my tales of motherhood with all of you, and I enjoy reading your comments.

Fast Forward To One Year Later

I can't believe it's been over a year since my last post. Wow, so much has changed & happened. Cruz just started 4th grade & I've been knee deep in cloth diapers & soaking up the baby giggles with our newest addition, Yvonne. I'll have to update my header image with my 5 month old bundle of joy, that is when I actually have a moment to spare & the iMac is available. It seems the moon & stars have to align for that to happen these days, but hugs & smiles from my children make the trade off worth while.

No point in going into depth about the past year. Nothing surprising. Normal pregnancy that went from celebration to hurry up & get this baby out of me!! A summer home with my son & a newborn that was way more challenging than I expected. Did you know a baby can't ride on a bike either in a baby seat or wagon behind a bike until they're 1 years old? I didn't. And I forgot babies can't be slathered in sunscreen until 6 months. That seriously shortened the list of outdoor summer activities, but we survived & made the best of it. We also traveled to visit family so they could meet Yvonne & I got to be that lady with a baby on an airplane. Now life is settling back into routine with school & me trying to squeeze baby's nap times in between PTA meetings & grocery shopping & considering a shower for myself a small victory, no wait, big victory.

I'll update more later. I'm still holding onto hope I'll get that shower today after 1 failed attempt at nap time so far. Fingers crossed!!
