While still being COVID cautious, we invited our family and close friends to celebrate the first year of Theo’s life with usRead More
My First Letter to Theodore
(I started this letter on Theo’s birthday but didn’t get to finish until now. Second child problem at its finest. :X) My dearest Theo, A year ago today you came into this world. And just like your sister, you made a dramatic entrance which scared us to death. But you quickly recovered and have beenRead More
First Mother’s Day as a Mama of Two
Have you seen the IG Reels and memes of moms wanting to be left the F alone on Mother’s Day? Couldn’t be more true now being a mom of two. LOL. But of course, our little wild baby got sick so the day I get to not answer to anyone had to wait another year,Read More
Emma’s Baptism
Unlike the Catholic norm, we didn’t baptize Em when she was an infant. We had various reasons as to why her baptism was “delayed”; however, I am so glad that she was a bit older because she got to experience the day herself. This is so special because she’ll have memories of this day andRead More

To Emma (Letter #3)
My dearest Emma, This morning you said something that burst my heart with so much love and joy. You said, “mom, you are my best friend.” You have never said that to me before but you uttered those words with clarity and sincerity. You are my best friend too, Emma. I will always be yourRead More
Toddler Relationships
Have you ever observed how your kids play with other kids? For Em, it wasn’t until about 2 years old that she actually played with others. We had plenty of play dates when she was younger, but they didn’t actually play together. It was more so being in the same room but doing their ownRead More
