I'm Latina. I'm a wife. I'm a daughter. I'm a sister. I'm a girl.
A 27 year old girl who has been displaced from a big city (San Antonio) to a little town in South Texas. Often times I hate it, often times I love it. I live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch house built in the 1970's that I am renovating and fixing up one blog post and margarita pitcher at a time while yelling at my husband. My husband is great, and I think he's secretly in therapy to cope with how random and zany I can be.
In between all that madness, I am trying to lose weight and trying to gain sanity, trying to land my dream PR/Communications job and trying to be immensely happy. I have an unhealthy love of Disney, whipped cream flavored vodka and all things with bows and sparkles. Crafting makes me happy. I'll find a way to bedazzle everything. My Nikon D5000 is essentially my 3rd arm and my 2nd child. My first child is my dog PeeWee whom I love more than anything in this world. Except how much he sheds.
I am Hispanic, though not fluent in Spanish anymore (forgive me abuela!) I love tortillas and refried beans a lot. I'm proud to be a Latina, and even though I am a bit of a coconut, I'll never forget my true roots.
This is me. This is my blog.
One day I hope to be normal.
