My Love Story

It was a wave of rediscovery; I plan to honor my journey as a mother by growing into the most absolute version of myself. I was drowning in this muck of aspirations for so long, and though I'm still young I feel time pulling at my tired soul. So now I'm chugging the sweet nectar of dreams, ready to run my feet bloody towards the life that I built for me.

This lil nerd was on his dads shoulders for 4 miles. Adam was sweaty and done by the time we got to the Sherman tree trail 😅💁🏽#hodor #wolvertontrail #sequoianationalpark

I was so stoked on visiting Wilder Ranch! I wish we had more time to check out the caves but it was a crazy experience nonetheless! We were freaked by the insane drop with Oliver being so eager to run around 😬 Totally plan on making a more thorough hike of this place sometime soon! It's crazy we managed to rock that day feasting at Mission St. BBQ, thrift shopping on Pacific ave, getting high on some Donnelley chocolates, nearly dying at Wilder State Park and then hitting up the Boardwalk all after 12🙃 Oh yeah without yelp or a gps... #serendipitoussunday #latepost (at Wilder Ranch State Park)

Went to John's Incredible Pizza to stuff our faces after Oliver's music class. Anyone with kids 2 and under can totally benefit with their Summer Fun Pass! 4 visits with buffet and drink with an hour of unlimited rides, and your little one gets to reek all those benefits with you for free! Thought I'd share that since I felt pretty savvy about it. 🤗 #winningwednesday #oliverrockedtoday (at John's Incredible Pizza Company)

We were torn between Wild Waters and Oliver's toddler gym make up class...we ended up eating mangoes and playing in the sprinklers 🦈🌈💦#oliverallfiercewithhisbubblegun #mangomonday

Adam and I would roam the streets when we were little baby faces. Making distance on foot or by bike with our blunts or mushies, maybe a bottle of E&J...or some cough medicine. Occasionally coming up on food and condoms from grocery stores. We would dream about changing the world together, it was all f'd up but we spent hours figuring out how to fix it. We were altruistic punks struggling with restlessness. #fbf #teenagewasteland #babyvicky #babyadam #myalwaysfamily #someherstory

Straight out of high school I traveled across America by car to Detroit,Michigan with fellow Prison Moratorium Project members for the US Social Forum. Seriously one of the most monumental experiences of my life. Of the survived photos is this one of Michael and I after a great smoke sesh provided by two Drug Policy Alliance reps. Photo cred to the homie Michael. #fbf #pmp #dpa #ussf #biggestphotofailwaslosingallofmyphotosfromthistrip #ificouldturnbacktime
