Last weekend we did what every warm-blooded American family does in October (even though it still feels like July here): we went to a pumpkin patch! Well, it was a miniature corn maze, with a pile of pumpkins in one corner, but to us, and mainly to Audrey, it was heaven. It was a really…

The Biggest First
Yesterday came and went like every other normal day for most. But it was so much bigger than that at our little house on the corner. It was Audrey’s first birthday! My little one is now 1 and as much of a toddler as ever. I worried that the day would bring bittersweet, sappy memories,…
Read MoreBaby’s First Beach
We hit another milestone earlier this month when we took Audrey to the beach for the first time. What a trip! Not only did she love the sand, the water and the sun, she also loved not sleeping, practicing her diva moves and biggest of all … walking! We have a little brave one on our…

Well hello there world – you’re still here? There have been moments in the past two baby-focused months that I sometimes thought the only world left was me and Jason, the baby and our little house on the corner. But, in the last few weeks, we have re-emerged from our corner, blinking into the big,…

It’s true what they say that pregnancy brings…

Dear You: You turned 28 this week. I’ve known you since you were 18. That’s not much in the grand scheme of life, and there are others who have known you much longer, but I can only tell you that in the last 10 years, I’ve come to love you more and more. You forgot…
Read MoreVacation Nombre Deux!
Well, we are back from our second vacation of the Summer and it was so great! It’s always fun to travel to see my sister and brother-in-law. It’s hard to explain to anyone else what having a sister is like, unless you have one yourself. For me, it’s like having another person just like me…
Read MoreVacation Numero Uno!
This past Memorial Day weekend, Jason and I flew to South Florida for a family wedding and got to enjoy the beach, the sun and the family that I married into. A pretty great combination 🙂 See for yourself! And what would an El Salvadoran wedding be without MARIACHIS? Next stop: Washington DC!
Read MoreHappy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mother! She holds this family together and reminds us everyday the power of true love. She worries, cares, listens, anticipates, understands, sympathizes, and is always there when we need to “vent.” She’s taught me how to be a good wife, a supportive sister and a true Southern lady. I…
