I can officially say that the halls have been decked at this house! This will be our second Christmas in our home and already I’m getting a sense of the traditions that will be a part of A&Z’s childhood memories. Last weekend we put up the outdoor lights and this weekend we decorated indoors and […]
Arielle’s Drawings: Selfies, Mermaids, and Hello Kitty
November 4, 2013 by 16 Comments
I wish I could freeze a version of A&Z just the way they are now, while their original versions continue to grow up. I would keep the cute, inquisitive 4-year-old version of Arielle and display her on my coffee table during parties so she can sing Katy Perry’s “Roar” or tell knock-knock jokes that don’t […]
Turns Out, I’m Not Superwoman

Just when I was starting to think I had my life together – kids are happy, work is good, budget is balanced, house is clean (well, sort of) – my health comes crashing down and it all falls apart.
10 Reasons Why I Might Start Crying
June 4, 2013 by 62 Comments
Something is seriously wrong with my PMS schedule because I want to cry. ALL. THE. TIME. I swear, ever since I turned 30, the most ridiculous things make me want to cry. As the tears start welling up in my eyes I mentally punch myself in the face and tell myself, “Seriously? You’re going to […]
Oh Shoot. Did I Spend Time with My Kids Today?
May 18, 2013 by 2 Comments
I have been pulling long hours during the week because of the high visibility projects that I’ve been working on. So after a long day of being a full-time working mother and coming home for dinner, cleaning, watching TV to numb my mind, getting the kids ready for bed, and finally closing my eyes and […]
Arielle’s Stage Debut
May 13, 2013 by 2 Comments
This past Saturday, Arielle made her first stage début at her dance recital where she tapped her way into the audience’s hearts to the song “Be Our Guest” from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. After weeks and weeks taking her to dance classes at 9-freaking-a.m. on Saturday mornings, it all paid off. She did all […]

March 23, 2013 by 5 Comments
Here’s a MommyA-Z flashback from 3.23.11 of Zavier’s baby story, back when I referred to him as “Baby Bear.” I can’t believe that two years have already gone by…he surprises me everyday – just like how he surprised me with his grand entrance into this world. Enjoy! On Tuesday morning at work, I started feeling […]
I got my boobs back! The end of breastfeeding.
February 21, 2013 by 8 Comments
After 23 months, Zavier is officially done breastfeeding! I finally got my boobs back, ladies and gentlemen! At the rate he was going at 18 months, it seemed like he would never ever stop. My close family and friends were getting a little worried that I’d let Zavier breastfeed until he is 5-years-old and calls my boobs […]

Here’s a day in the life of me on my craziest day of the week, which just so happens to be Wednesdays. Jeff works his 12-hour shift on Wednesdays, so it’s just me with the babies on a work day. Here goes: 6:30 am – Alarm. SNOOZE. Repeat every 9 minutes. 7:00 am – I […]
Calling Off Crazy
December 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I have had a series of bad days and ongoing incidents of forgetfulness. I’ve only lost things like my cell phone, camera, and my wallet. While losing things are a major inconvenience and expensive to replace, I’ve thankfully managed to not lose my babies and my dog. Knock on wood. Last week, I drove all […]
