Traveling with Benjamin has been fairly easy. We’ve been on four flights, and he’s done remarkably well for being Benjamin. I did learn something different from our second family trip. Baby carrier!!! It helps. This time we took extra equipment (stroller, car seat and a baby carrier) with us since we were renting a vehicle […]

On Wednesday night, Benjamin stayed with my mom, while Raul and I had dinner that evening. When we got home, my mom said he wouldn’t stop crying, and he did not want the bottle. I started to feel worried, for instance, I thought I was doing something wrong. People tell you don’t pick up your […]

A few weeks ago, you joked about finally knowing what it is like to be me two years ago. I met you for dinner but declined to be your dance partner that evening, instead, I told you I was going to sleep early. #old In my heart, I wanted to continue the night, but one […]

Over the past six months I have grown passionate of a particular subject. It is where my heart is, so for 2018, I’d like part of my career to take that direction. There will be more to come in the near future. Our family has some goals as well. One is to continue breastfeeding until […]

This week I’ve felt like I’ve had to prove that I’m enough. I still have a pile of dishes in the sink. I still have a basket full of clean and dirty clothes. I have another pile in Benjamin’s room. My closet has clothes that need to go on hangers. The guest room has piles […]

Benjamin and I were walking the isles of Babies R Us on Thursday, and I just couldn’t believe all the gadgets available for babies. I am some percent minimalist (with the exception of shoes and clothes, but that’s something I’ll be working on for 2018). When I began my baby registry, I only wanted the […]

My husband took this photo of Benjamin and I in front of Westminster Abbey. Just minutes before this photo, I sat in the cold halls of Westminster, while I nursed Benjamin. I remember his cold little his hands on my chest and him chugging away. Sometimes, he’d look up at me, and I’d wonder if […]

I’d like to share a secret with you, and please don’t judge me. I’m an obsessive planner, like I have a desk calendar, a google calendar, and notebook filled with more to do list obsessed. Getting through the day can be a little hard if I didn’t learn to prioritize. After pregnancy, I wanted to […]
