The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
I find myself in a place in my life where I'm such a mom. My life revolves around my husband, daughter, and work. I find myself always compromising on everything. I don't go to girly or scary movies because Husband doesn't like those. If we go to restaurants, it has to be something of Husband... Continue Reading →
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
Like most normal people right now, my little familia is feeling the hit of inflation more than usual. I used to love going grocery shopping. Now it’s kind of painful (each trip is at least $100). The cost of stuff has gone up so much these past few months. We've stopped eating out as much... Continue Reading →

You ever have days when you're just sick of your whole life? I'm having one of those days - all this week, if not all month. Last night I finally vocalized what's wrong with me. I don't even know how we got there, but while talking to Vince over lord knows what, I said it.... Continue Reading →
We waited a while before we had a child. Seriously. We were almost mid-thirties. So now being in our 40's and having a young child, well, it has its days.

Today marks 11 years of marriage for me and my mister. Every day is everything because I have him in my life. I’m truly fortunate to do life with Mr. Alexander. He’s my person. Annual Anniversary selfie! Taquitos, Mr. Alexander!
Where do I start? This month and a half of being unemployed has been the best reset ever! I've been crazy busy between my continuing ed class, getting Aria's school year wrapped up, and all things in between. But honestly, I've having such a good time! This is what life should be like! Besides wrapping... Continue Reading →
