The Problem with a Beauty Routine – plus a NeriumAD Giveaway!
Remember your beauty routine from high school? If you're like me, it basically didn't exist. I remember having a friend ask me what kind of face wash I used and I told her I just use Johnson and Johnson baby wash. Seriously. Flash forward 8 years (EIGHT?!) and my...
15 Ways to Raise an Awesome Kid
This is not an article about how I'm raising an awesome kid. I think Cora's pretty cool, but I also think it's only about 10% due to me, and more due to the fact that she just rocks. Rather, I want to talk about how my parents raised 6 kids and they all turned out...
Staying fit when you’re feeling frantic.
This week we traveled from Xalapa to Guadalajara so Orlando could have surgery. Everything went well, thank God, but we've been so crazy busy since then. Orlando, Cora, Frenchie, and myself have been staying in a hotel room along with ALL of our luggage juggling...
Liebster Award Nomination!
Blogging can often feel like shouting in a crowded room, so it's nice sometimes to slow down and connect with other writers. That's the spirit behind the Liebster Award, or at least it appears to be. I'm having a hard time tracking down the origins of this award,...
You have the key to my heart.
The other day on a walk with Cora, I stumbled upon an area of Xalapa I had never been to before. We were on our way to the park, and these odd looking tree sculptures were along the bridge near the lake. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were stuffed full with...
Paty’s Perfect Stuffed Mushrooms
I've been fortunate enough in Mexico to have several girls step up and be my guides, my friends, my translators in this new culture. One of those friends is Paty, who is literally Mexico's version of Hostess with the Mostess. She owns a catering business, she plans...
5 things the United States could learn from Mexico
Remember a couple weeks ago when I vented to you all about an awful experience with my Mexican neighbor? I felt kinda bad about unleashing my neighborly angst, and I worried that I may have left a bad impression of Mexico for my fellow Yankees. Thus, I wanted to...
The Power of Fit: Who I Am When I Workout
Two weeks ago began the start of a new chapter in my life. I'm writing it down because I believe in order to make something happen, you have to "verbalize" it. It sounds so very New Age, but there is something that happens when you put a vision out into the...
That baby will come back.
I wrote a couple weeks ago that I was going through a trial of some sort, but I wasn't ready to talk about it. That trial was a second pregnancy, which unfortunately was not meant to be in the end. The doctors all say that it didn't look good from the beginning, and...
Love, Actually.
I wish this blog post could come with a photo gallery. I wish I could show you the look on my mother’s face when my sister stepped out in a wedding gown for the first time. I wish the photographs could convey better than any written word how lovely Kelsey looked,...
Dos.
To my little one on her 2nd birthday, Ah my sweet Corabelle, do you know how much I love you? Do you know how often I think about you during the day, or lay awake at night wondering if I'm doing it all right? Can you grasp how many times you've given me a hug, or a...
An open letter to my Mexican neighbor.
Dear neighbor, Since my husband, daughter and I have been living in Mexico, I've seen you here and there, only in passing. I know you're a student at the local University, and it has always seemed as though you and your roommate have kind spirits and good heads on...
