About My Family

My hubby is funny and NY bold. I am Cali bold (so that makes me medium to light bold, gotten softer over the years). Adi looks like her daddy. We have 3 dogs and a cat.

Papa is awesome...hes very willing to be hands on..if I tell him to do something differently he doesnt get offended (huge plus!)...doesnt care if hes wrong..(hes not wrong often)I cant get enough of seeing him with Adia.

What are your children's ages and names?

Adia Luciana, our one and only for now.

Are you considering having more?

Yes..currently researching fostering to adopt. Update: Went to an informational meeting. I liked that they were honest. We were looking to adopt a baby to toddler. There are risks so we are now at the point where we need to see if we are ok with the risks. I am, my husband needs time to think, and I wont decide for us..we both need to feel like we want to do this.

How would you describe your parenting philosophy?

Open. No one is the perfect parent, no one knows more than you...and I know nothing. But thats ok.

I was told not to carry her as a newborn...that it would spoil her. I had her wrapped on me all day because it was the only way she would sleep (and standing up, yes thats how I lost all the weight). She slept in her crib at night. Fourth month comes along, she magically decides shes ready to nap in the crib during the day.

So from that I learned that a mothers instinct works best. Not everything is the same for everybody.

What's your favorite parenting book (if any)?

So far using the Dr. Sears Alternative Vaccination Schedule

What are your family’s favorite books and toys?

Sophie the Giraffe teether, a water bottle (you read right..apparently Dasani makes and attractive bottle for my bebe) and Shel Silverstein Poems.

What are you family’s favorite TV shows or movies?

Trying to avoid TV till at least 2 yrs old..though sometimes if shes awake shes subjected to Oprah & Ellen torture.

What are your family's favorite foods?

Breastmilk, peas, sweet potato, carrots, pears, banana, turkey w/veggies. Cereal give her eczema reaction

What one adjective would you choose to describe your household?

quiet. funny.

Describe your most humbling parenting moment.

When I couldn't get Adi to stop crying for the first time. I thought I would just have that magic touch.
