Happy 5 years old in Bermuda!

Emma Sophia turned 5 years old in Bermuda and she said: " this is the best birthday ever!" She woke up covered in blue (her favorite color) balloons, we sang Happy Birthday to her, she opened her presents and then we all went out for breakfast. Afterwards we played Candy Land, listened to Katy Perry and had a pillow fight. We surprised her with her cake out on the balcony, sang Happy Birthday again, she blew out her candle and we all enjoyed the cake! Then we headed out to the beach and built sandcastles together. Emma thought it was the best birthday ever, and I felt like it was the best family day ever! So much joy to be present with each other, enjoying every moment, playing, dancing, creating, laughing, loving, hugging, kissing and cuddling! 

Happy 2 years old Alexandra!

When I asked Alexandra what she wanted for her birthday she said: "Monsters Inc. cupcakes, a pink dress and Japanese noodles" She got all of it and much more! We are truly blessed to have such a joy and love around. She brings smiles to us everyday and gives our lives more meaning. 

Happy Birthday Alexandra Lucia!

You are pure love, compassion, fun, wisdom and happiness, 
all in one beautiful you! 

And we are the lucky ones that get to spend this lifetime with you.

This is how her day started: Kisses from the family, dancing to "Girls just wanna to have fun" from her birthday card and opening presents! Standing at the same spot where she was born in water two years ago.

My birth affirmation

Mother's Love

I've been wanting to start this blog for a while and I was just not sure on where to begin. Then my mom came yesterday to visit and it dawned on me that I should start from the beginning, my mom. I am sure that my mom has inspired me in the choices that I make for my children. She delivered me naturally, nursed me and stayed home to take care of me when I was little. For that I am forever thankful and I honor her.

So I do the same with my children. I birthed my daughters naturally, one in the hospital and one at home, glad to have peacefully and lovingly welcomed them into the world. Along with their dad, my life partner, who channeled strength and support during such a precious moment in our lives. I nursed my first born for 27 months until I was pregnant with my second baby and now I nurse her too,  feeling honored that I can nourish them with what they need. I am blessed to be a stay at home mom and I cherish every moment with my girls, being in the moment with them and creating a beautiful future together.
