About Me & My Family

I’m a single mom with one 3 yr old boy. My two passions are traveling and raising my son. I love being a mom and there’s no place I’d rather be then with my son. I work full time and love to exercise.

A Place We'd Love To Visit
Petite St. Vincent
Favorite Vacation Memory
Celebrating my son's 2nd birthday in Maui. It was 9 days of Paradise.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
I’ll never forget flying home from Honolulu in first class with my 1.6 month old son on Delta. The plane did not have any milk for the flight and even though I boarded early not one person thought to inform me that the plane was not stocked with milk. Cash was still drinking from a bottle at this time and freaked out over having to go 5 hours without milk in his bottle. This old cranky lady was loudly complaining behind me the whole flight home about how she was tired of hearing my son cry (as if I wasn’t). I wanted to scream (but did not) at every employee of the airline for not informing me the plane had no milk until we were up in the air.

"Good but always too busy"
The Arden mall has a great selection of stores but parking is always a nightmare and the mall is always packed. I much prefer the Roseville Galleria Mall. The Galleria is in a safer neighborhood, parking is a breeze if you park in the Sears garage, and the mall is rarely shoulder to shoulder even on Christmas which is great if you're pushing a stroller or chasing after a 2 year old. :)

"Perfect for kids and tourists"
Old Sacramento is perfect for families or friends. It's full of old fashioned candy and novelty stores. Lots of fun places to eat and fun things to see like horse drawn carriages. Be careful when you park. The meter maids don't mess around and you have to pay the meters until 8pm.

"Save your money"
The animals here looked depressed. Every time I go to this zoo I want to cry. The animal’s habitats are old and decrepit. During our hot summers this dilapidated zoo barely provides the animals with enough shade. The orangutans especially look depressed. Ugh, I'm getting sad just thinking about the zoo.
