I’m back to writing!

Oh my gosh, it’s been a while since my last post. In the last 5 years, my life has changed in the most beautiful, overwhelming, heart-stretching way. Quick life update: Marco and I have been blessed with two daughters. Yes! Typing that makes my heart flutter. Our home is louder, messier, and so much fuller.

So why am I able to write now? I stepped away from work temporarily to focus on Iya (3 years old) and Mika (2 months old). And with some quiet moments to sit down with my thoughts, I’ve found myself wanting to write again. Writing has always been something that grounds me, and I’ve truly missed this space.

In the middle of all these changes, and along with all the joy, there was deep loss. I lost my dad in late 2020. I often find myself wishing he could see the girls and carry them in his arms. Iya knows him as Grampy (because my mom is Grammy), and even though she never got to meet him, we talk about him often. He will always be part of our stories.

I have a few experiences I’ve been meaning to share, from some of our travels in the past to the little lessons I’ve learned as a new mom. Now that I’m a mom, you’ll be seeing more mom life posts here, too. I’m looking forward to documenting this new chapter here.

I’m excited to write again, to start sharing my experiences again and reconnect in this little corner of the internet.

Stay tuned!
