It’s been a year. It’s still so unreal, but it’s truly been a year. A year without talking to you on the phone as I drive to and from work. A year without stopping at Starbucks to get your Dragon Fruit lemonade and lemon loaf. A year without you yelling at me, testing my patience […]
1. PACK LIGHT – I’ve been so blessed to have the opportunity to travel a lot internationally for my current position at work. I knew that travelling light was essential, especially when you know you’d be coming into the Japan Airport and will need to travel more via train to reach your hotel. Normally, I […]
My mom was very particular growing up. Although, she was usually tight on budget, mom was always able to provide us with the best things we needed. And this did not change when our children were born. Almost 10years ago, my mom gave Cydney her first stroller – Stokke Xplory. Yes, for me it seemed […]
My mom always thought of herself as a funny person. In fact, during her last few days on earth, she kept talking to my me, my sisters and my dad about a Journal she kept with important information we may need. She seemed to have planned this scavenger hunt with her closest family and friends […]
How long should one grieve? Is the pain going to subside? Would it go away? My mom has been gone for 45 days and the pain I feel still remains exactly the same. Yes, my Instagram page is being updated and my Facebook comments are there, but the feeling I have is still exactly the […]
Woke up really weak today, feeling so fucked up I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t care to get the girls ready for school or to get myself ready for another Gate Review at work. There’s a huge part of me that wanted to cover myself up with our comforter and another part of […]
As many of you know, I love luxury purses. It is unnecessary splurge that I purchase to reward myself once in a great while for all my hard work year after year. Sometimes, I tell myself that this is for being a “good” mom (Some might argue). Sometimes, I tell myself that this is for being a […]
It has been awhile since I’ve posted. Not only because I haven’t had the time, but I regret so much that amongst all the women I’ve highlighted in my blog, I didn’t get the chance to interview my mom. After fighting cancer for 6years, she passed away last week. I’ve never been this heart broken […]
As a leader at work, it’s very difficult to go on a relaxing and stress free vacation without being bothered by constant phone calls and text messages – I’m sure most of you can relate. Some of you may think that it’s a choice we need to make as parents. But to be honest, at least for me it’s easier […]
Yes, I know it’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted anything…but this is totally worth sharing. For those of you who knows my family, my girls and I LOVE CHOCOLATE! Hot cocoa from Chicago, chocolate lava cakes my husband and I had in New York, truffles from Europe, basically any food that contains REAL cocoa. The difficult […]
