So I had not had my headshot taken since 2016; before I had Lylah (my first baby). And here it is, the first thought that came to my head was, “wow I look old!” The second thought, “look at all the lines around my eyes, around my smile.” Then the third was, “I LIKE IT.” - Let me clarify, I don’t like the fact that I look older. I like the story behind my fine lines. It’s the face of an exhausted Mom, a busy Business Woman, a loving partner, a compassionate friend, a daughter, a tired business owner... Because of this, the stories we could exchange are endless. - So yeah, that’s me. And it’s as good as it’s going to get for now. #earneverysecond #aginggracefully #likefinewine #truthmoment #mommyoftwo #lover #engaged #smallbusiness #insuranceagent #moralesinsuranceagency #botoxmaybeinmyfuture https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Y3fJdAsqR/?igshid=h6r2jhzekwry

2018 feeling like my old self again

Well here we go 2018, so full of inspiration and promise.

Last year,

was a year of many changes. We started 2017 pregnant and preparing for baby to come. I bought my first house (yes, I say “first” because it will not be my last) which we then spent weeks working on to get it ready to move in. Paul (my now fiancé ) did a really good job at making our pups comfortable before the move by building them a nice, clean area to play in while NOT destroying the house. 

Then,

we welcomed baby Lylah into the world in July. I knew I would love her but I definitely was not expecting the kind of unconditional love that simply filled my heart when I first laid eyes on her. 

Well, needless to say I definitely did not feel like myself after delivery. Not only was I in the midst of recovering physically,  I was also adjusting to a new crazy, busy, unpredictable schedule. I am very fortunate that all of our family lives in Houston and are very very helpful because I don’t know what I would do without them. I was able to get right back to business as soon as we was discharged from the Hospital with the help of my wonderful mom who came to my house for two weeks to help me with Laylah while I worked. Then, Lylah and I went back to the office after 3 weeks. It has been a blur since. The days are definitely long but the time flies by. 

Now, 

January 14th, 2018 Lylah is six months and 13 days old. Today was the first day that I finally felt on top of my plans. I was able to make it to the gym for a great morning work out with the help of the very convenient Kid’s Club. I felt amazing during my Cycling class. Cycling not Spin class, which I still do not understand the difference between the two. I felt amazing during the class is all I will say because the frantic, anxiety filled morning trying to rush out of the door with baby was not as fun (and yes, I was the late one that everyone rolls their eyes at). After the gym Lylah and I hurried over to Church where we made it just before the announcements started (again, late). I am very thankful that Lylah enjoys meeting new pretty ladies which makes it a lot easier when dropping her off in the baby areas. A big THANK YOU by the way to all you pretty ladies who work in the nurseries, day cares, and kid clubs. Then we were free to go to shop for groceries, but, before that we needed our quick protein. Baby had her bottle in the car and I drank a quick protein shake, lunch was served. Finally, after an hour and a half of grocery shopping we were on our way back home. 

Now I am sitting on my sofa next to Lylah who is napping and I am remembering a day circa 2016 which was the last time I had structured plans on a Sunday to workout, go to church, buy my groceries, meal prep and then lounge in front of the TV to rest up for Monday. Today felt very very close to that but just A LOT more tiring and of course while running late. I have now come to realize that I might be running late very often for the next 20 years or so. Nevertheless, even with all of the madness, I feel accomplished and very much like a bad mama jamma! Here is to another great, adventurous, year!

To the man I love... 

There are not enough words to describe the amount of love and respect I have for this man but I will try here. Today is his birthday so I don’t see a better day to do this. 

I met him several years ago but the timing was completely wrong. We then reconnected in July of 2015 and that is when life, as I knew it, changed. He came into my life so suddenly and everything just felt right. We have had our ups and downs since then and we have even tried to live without each other but it was almost impossible. 

We have learned much about each other now and I this is what I know:

1. He is very passionate: I fell in love with his passion for living. Yes he loves a dangerous sport and yes it can take him away from us in an instant. But he is a better man now because of his passion than he was without it. I have always been a believer in chasing your dreams and having goals in life. I love individuals who get up everyday with purpose and he is definitely an inspiration. 

2. He loves our family (see our two fur-babies below and one soon to come) and because of him we are safe: This man will sacrifice rest and peace to love us and do what is needed in order for each of us live a little better everyday. He prioritizes family time and makes sure we reconnect at the end of the day everyday. I couldn’t ask for a better man. 

3. He is a great Father: I remember the exact look on his face when I gave him the news; he had the happiest expression I had ever seen on him. His overjoyed feeling was contagious and I immediately knew we were going to be okay. He is already such a great daddy to our Lylah and constantly is making sure that she is safe and that she has everything she needs. I can’t wait to watch their bond grow once she is actually here. 

This list could go on and on. He is my favorite topic to talk about and our love has taught me many lessons so far. He actually continues to teach me many lessons everyday (sometimes it’s annoying). He is my best friend, my confidant, the person I feel most safe with and my partner in life. 

Happy Birthday Paul, I want you to know that you are loved deeply and that I appreciate everything you do for us. To cherish every waking moment that I have with you and our family is a constant goal of mine. I don’t want to miss a second because I know this is a once in a lifetime love and I am very blessed to experience it with you.

Haven't tapped into my creative side in a while. Trying to make time again to get back to my normal habits has proven to be a more challenging task now. I can say that I am looking forward to my little Lylah and even though mommy is tired much, I cannot wait to see what the future holds for all of us. I am very grateful for it all and all of the support we have been receiving from our loved ones. I am grateful for my family and especially grateful for the patient, helpful partner that makes life that much easier to enjoy. #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdaywords #earneverysecond #grateful #livingsimply #livelaughmatter

A Letter from my First Baby, Interpreted by her Grandma Alida

Mami, 

Que alegría ciento que me quieras y me ames

Por favor te pido no te desesperes con mi lenguaje

Es el único que tengo para comunicarme

Si tengo hambre

Si tengo frio

Si estoy mojada

Si me duele algo

Si estoy enferma

O si solamente te extraño y quiero que estés todo el tiempo con migo

No olvides que un día voy a crecer y entonces voy a poder comunicarme en tu lenguaje

Te amo mami…

Te amo papi…

Sinceramente,

Tú bebe

It's that fire that burns inside of you. Sometimes it dims but you have to find that spark that will make it burn and make sure to keep it burning. #earneverysecond #motivation #believeinyourdreams

Goals are easier to set when you have a clear Vision. If you have a clear Vision of where you want to be or where you want to go then you can set a clear path to get it done ✔ Things don't always happen by sheer luck. It takes work and it takes some preparing. Set your plan up and remember Action cures Fear and Doubt! 💥😏 #earneverysecond #stayinspired #motivation #readysetgo #livelovematter (at Morales Insurance Agency)
