It was a regular morning at work when I decided to steal a little break time and check my personal email account. As is the norm there was a barrage of junk email and I began my ritual of just click, click, clicking away on the little box to the left, choosing emails I would… Continue reading Triathlon 2017
I saw a darling photo today that was taken 5 years ago. It was a picture of a little child that I know pretty well.

A rush of feelings came flooding in.… Continue reading Stir within my soulÂ
There is so much to love about this month!! For starters it’s my birth month, woohoo! I get to ask my mom for my favorite meal for my birthday. I haven’t decided yet but it’s either going to be a delicious Mexican dish known as molĂ© or Tortas de pollo in green sauce. My… Continue reading It’s finally here again!
On Tuesday, January 19th Elysse turned 1 and on the morning of Wednesday, Janaury 20th I nursed her for the last time.
