On Sunday we didn’t do too much and just went on a drive to my favorite street in the area. If you are ever in St Paul, MN you must go to Summit Ave. It reminds me a lot of Prairie Ave in Chicago where a lot of the Chicago greats lived too. On warmerContinue reading “Weekend”

Last Night
So last night I sat with my oldest and we reviewed his course program for high school. This week is registration for incoming Freshmen and I just can’t believe my little boy is going to be a Freshmen, like how?!!! After my initial shock wore off that the time is here, we picked out hisContinue reading “Last Night”
Sales and buys
I always love after a holiday and getting some good deals, but this year I only splurged on the Sur La Table sale. I had been eyeing their Nutcracker theme serving set and when I saw it for half off I had to get it all. I got the Salad bowl, the serving tray, theContinue reading “Sales and buys”
Happy New Year!
How exciting, a whole new year! We didn’t do much last night and 2 out of the 3 kids fell asleep so we quietly rang in the new year with some mineral water and some laughs.

It’s been 1 week since I gave birth and man has it been magical. This baby has been so different than my other two and it is hard to articulate how happy I am right now. With my oldest, I was 22, terrified. A single mom and if it wasn’t for my family’s support IContinue reading “One week”
Birth
I gave birth on Tuesday April 28, 2020. We went to the hospital around 8:30pm on Monday and when we arrived they had us wear masks and I was measuring 5cm dilated with 5 min contractions. They immediately took me to a labor room where they got me hooked up and I waited for myContinue reading “Birth”
Hello there!
This is such a crazy time and so weird to be part of something so surreal. Let’s get into knowing me first, I used to have a makeup blog with my friend that I loved but just didn’t make enough time for it. Now 4 years later I’m getting the itch to blog again. I’mContinue reading “Hello there!”
