When you meet that special someone 

 Nine years ago on this exact date, February 28th, I had just finished one of my usual dance lessons at Londance Studio in Santa Ana. As I was walking toward the front lobby to exit I saw “handsome guy” talking with the nice lady at the front desk and I smiled and said good… Continue reading When you meet that special someone

About a newborn – hello 40!

Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m greeting this milestone birthday with a 3 year old daughter and a little bitty 4 week old newborn. Wow! For starters, how am I 40?! I don’t even feel like I’m 40 and some people say I certainly… Continue reading About a newborn – hello 40!

2014 was a true blessing. While there were some challenges – particularly personal growth for myself, we definitely are blessed with more than we could ask for.

The popcorn is popping

That’s what our little growing baby feels like sometimes inside of me. I like to imagine that when I feel that popping popcorn sensation it’s her way of telling me that she’s hungry and needs food now, since meal time is about the time it tends to happen most. Then once I get some food in me… Continue reading The popcorn is popping

All the little things that add up to amazing

As I was walking toward home today after having come back from a work “farewell” get together, I was reminded of all the little things in my life that add up to such amazing blessings.

Kyoto – Exploring the city

Kyoto has been the most amazing experience so far. On our second day here my husband found a place where we could rent bikes and explore Kyoto. Best thing ever!! There is something so freeing about riding a bike, exploring the city, and feeling the cool breeze on your face. I can’t imagine a better… Continue reading Kyoto – Exploring the city

It’s Really Just A Number

I just had a funny conversation with one of my cousins. We call each other beanie because we’re Mexican and well we’re beaners. It’s just a fun term of endearment that we use. Not sure why I feel the need to explain this because it’s totally unrelated to my post, but anyway, it provides some… Continue reading It’s Really Just A Number
