August photo dumpā¦de aniversarios, birthdays, baptisms, shiet and being sick for 2 weeks straightā¦August really said ātodo en un mes.ā Bittersweet goodbye, pero I enjoyed every minute. Como dice Benito āOjalĆ” y el verano nunca se acabeāāļø šļø
Couldnāt put this together without shedding a tear. One day, my 3yr old who is obsessed with these toys, will wake up and no longer play with themā¦š„². Time, please slow downā¦my poopers is growing up š

With every year, it becomes more clear lifeās greatest treasure is sharing it with the people you love. The voices, the facesā¦theyāre all so familiar, yet touched by time. Some were here, others far, but their love still reached me. What a bittersweet feeling to know these moments wonāt last forever, which makes them all the more precious. To grow older alongside my family will always be the most meaningful gift life could ever give me š
32, you reminded me what mattersā¦33, donāt let me forget āØ
5 years.
Weāve lived, loved, and weathered our storms.
It hasnāt always been easy, but itās always been us.
Hereās to growing, to finding our way back,
and to every chapter still unwritten š¤
What a privilege to witness this. Noah singing Happy Birthday to his dad? My heart could barely take it. It was one of those tender scenes you want to bottle up forever š„¹. These are the little memories I hope stay with him. Happy birthday to the best dad! We adore you š«¶
Mika wasnāt just my dogā¦she was family. We rescued her from Mexico, but in so many ways, she rescued us right back. She brought comfort not only to me but to my entire family. In her later years, she became my parentsā loyal companion and even brought my brother comfort during his chemo treatments. She had this way of knowing when someone needed her.
Mika was unforgettable. Fiercely loyal, overprotective (in the best way), and always making sure everyone knew their place in her world. If you were on her good side, you were loved fiercely. If you werenāt, well, you knew it.
For 14 years, she was there for my biggest momentsā¦college, my first big job, heartbreaks, new beginnings, even becoming a mom. She lived fully and loved deeply, and we loved her just as much in return. Losing her so suddenly is something I was never prepared for, but I find comfort in knowing she left this world as she lived in it: fierce, loyal, and deeply loved.
Mika, my girl, thank you. For everything. For loving me, for loving us, for being truly one of a kind. Youāll always be a part of our family, and we will miss you forever.
Rest easy, sweet girl. Keep chasing squirrels.
This past week, we celebrated the one who keeps us on our toes and surprises us everyday with something new to say. Our little Noah is now 2ļøā£ š„³
I took time off this week to celebrate him and I realized that this will be the only time weāll be hereā¦celebrating his 2nd year. For some reason, this hit hard. I felt a little grief knowing his baby years are long gone. But also guilt, knowing I wasnāt fully there to witness his 2nd year. As a FT working mom, I donāt get to spend all days and hours with my son as Iād wish. And although I know what Iām doing is for the best, it still doesnāt take away the feeling of me missing out on him. These are just raw thoughts. I know this feeling will pass, but if youāre someone going through this, just know I see you š«¶š„¹

A year ago today, at 5:14pm, we welcomed a little 7lb baby boy. It has been one wild rollercoaster since, but itās also been fun watching you grow, Noah. Happy birthday, poopers š
No better Christmas present than my family. This is your reminder to enjoy and appreciate your family. My mom always says āvida solo hay una y se puede ir en un momentoā (thereās only one life and it can disappear in a sec). So hug your mom, text that guy, leave that person that doesnāt treat you well, tell your dad you love him, donāt be afraid to ask for help, etc You wonāt regret it. Much love to everyone šš¼ā¤ļø
