I’m 31 years old. I’m a woman, a mom, a full-time employee, a Christ follower, a sister, a daughter, a friend. I didn’t plan most of the things that have happened in my life, I don’t think any of us do. I’m not perfect and have made my fair share of mistakes. At 27 years old, I was a newly single mom, which was not where I was supposed to be according to my childhood dreams. I spent some time finding myself again, renewing my relationship with God and gaining trust in friendships again that I had previously lost.
My now 5-year-old son, changed my life from the moment he was born and continues to keep me on my toes daily. When they say motherhood is the hardest but most rewarding job, it is no joke! I can find myself exhausted one minute, but one sound of that laughter of his, can make the smile on my face last for hours, and all because he made a fart sound but didn’t actually fart. Ahhhh, the life of having a boy…
I come from an interesting family. And by interesting, I really mean crazy, loud, fun, Puerto Rican, and oh so loving! I’m the youngest of four kids, and we’re lucky enough to have all of our kids growing up together. My parents are still married and still so much in love. True relationship goals! Once you are a friend of the family, you’re no longer just a friend, you are family and my mom and Grandma will make sure you eat well every time you are over at their house!
I’ve started this new venture of blogging to finish something I feel God has called me to do about many things. I’m not a professional writer, but it’s always been something I love to do and my hope is just to be able to share my stories, experiences, thoughts on topics from motherhood and fitness to food and relationships. So please join in on reading my blog and sharing!
