I absolutely cannot believe a year has passed since we welcomed little Javier David (JJ) into the world. This past year has been the fastest yet slowest year of my life. There have been wonderful ups, and there have been very emotional lows as well during this year, but the most important thing is that […]
JJ has always had so much hair. I remember in his last ultrasound when I was 38 weeks pregnant with him (the day I was induced), and you could even see his hair in the ultrasound picture! When JJ was born, I was surprised at how much hair he actually had. I was bald until […]
The word home has many definitions for different people. Home can be your house, a favorite family vacation spot, or even another person. I think home is anywhere where you feel completely safe, happy, and at peace. Also, home is where you should feel the most comfortable being yourself. For my whole life (up until […]
Since my little man just turned 6 months old, I’ve been thinking about how much he’s grown in such a short period of time. I’ve thought about my delivery and hospital stay. Then I started thinking about the first week we brought little man home. It honestly feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s only […]
At the end of 2018, I was trying to get it through my mind that I was going to be a mom. I was scared. I didn’t know what I was going to do. Life as I knew it was changing very rapidly, and I wasn’t sure if I could handle it, but little did […]

Breastfeeding is a very touchy subject for many people. Everyone has an opinion on it. Some people act like you’re a bad mother if you do not breastfeed your baby. That’s so NOT true. I think as long as your baby is fed and happy, you are doing a fabulous job mama! The mom shaming […]
I made this blog so I could help other people by writing my experiences as a mother. Earlier today I realized that I haven’t even shared the biggest day of my motherhood journey so far, the day my son was born! Listen to “Episode 7: My Labor and Delivery Story” on Spreaker. My son’s due […]
Before I start this blog, it’s all about my personal breastfeeding experience so if that would make you uncomfortable, you might not want to read this. Also, I want to say that even though it was my choice to breastfeed, all mamas are wonderful no matter how they feed their little ones. Breastfeeding is HARD! […]
This morning I was looking in the mirror and I didn’t really love what I saw. I saw a tired mama with bags under her eyes and a messy ponytail. I walked back into my room to make a to do list of chores really quick before little man woke up so I would remember […]
