Baby’s First COVID-19 Test
As we round the corner to Felix’s first year around the sun, it was bound to happen that our little dude would catch a cold. At first we weren’t too concerned as he has been teething like crazy for the past two weeks. The duderino has zero pearlies popping in his mouth, but they are…

Baby daddy
Like every mother has their own birth story, I have my own father story. It’s about time that I introduced myself.

2020 in Review – COVID KID STYLE
When it comes to New Year’s Eve, I must admit that I haven’t made it to midnight in quite a few years. I suspect that ringing in 2021 will be no different, especially now that we have my little Felix to celebrate. I typically will throw up my Top Nine pictures of the year on…

I Gave Birth During a PANDEMIC and All I Got Was This Pee Pad
