Well Ya Gotta Have Faith, Faith, Faith

I gotta have fai-aith. Why does every thought of mine force a correlating song into my head? I have no idea. Xavi had diarrhea all day on Sunday.  We thought it was just a fluke in the morning, but by the third bout in the early afternoon we realized we needed to go straight home […]

Two Years

Xavi, Mommy borrowed your Can Do! spirit and made a Tres Leches cake with whipped cream frosting…to bring to the sunny park.  Your tias and tios stayed up all night and helped me make shark cupcake toppers and frost the cupcakes.  We all love you that much. Last Sunday you turned two.  It was one […]

Men*

*Said in the “Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em.” tone of voice. More specifically, my man. He had a Stereotypical Male Moment the other night.  The kind that left me wishing I had given him a list.  You know, of what things to do and the *correct* order in which to do them.   […]

Worth a Thousand Words

Loving his bouncer…but more importantly, watching his brother. Testing out who makes a better navy tracksuit…Adidas or Nike? Love.

Dinosaur Birthday – Part II

Okay, here is the meat (I keep telling you, yes puns are ALWAYS intentional) of the story about how to throw the raddest Dinosaur Birthday Party in existence. (I’m sure there were way cooler ones before dinosaurs were, you know…EXTINCT!) And obviously what I really mean by the ‘raddest Dinosaur Birthday Party in existence’ is […]

Controlled Chaos and Love, Please

I have been cleaning our home the past few days.  Well, I guess, I always clean our home, but these past three days I have really been giving it a good kick in the butt.  And yet…sigh…and yet, it is not pristine.  Every surface is not bare, every clean glass is not put away, there […]
