I’m so glad you’re here.
Small town girl born in Bakersfield, California who moved to Orange County as a teen and hasn’t looked back. Wife to Mark, mama to Millie, loving life as a family of three. Home décor obsessed and avid researcher on all my favorite products and life necessities.
Overall, I want this to be a place to talk real life… motherhood, baby, being a wife, work life balance, home décor, beauty and shopping. Basically, all the stuff I LOVE and know you do too. I can’t wait to bring my love of online research to life to make yours easier!
We all want the best for our littles and families, right? I spend hours, literally probably thousands of hours, looking into anything I am purchasing these days to ensure I am making the right decision and getting the right product to fit our needs without compromising quality. If you are like me, and I bet you are, we are looking for quality, natural products and that amazing customer buying experience we come to expect. These days in a world of marketing overload and millions of options that can be a challenge, but that is where I come in. I was able to take two of my favorite things and make a blog out of it – research and shopping. Let me do all the hard work so that you know exactly what products are the REAL DEAL and you can trust.
A bit more about our family.
Mark and I met on our first day of college while moving into the dorms at San Diego State University. (Go Aztecs!) As fate would have it, we were both assigned to the 7th floor. I still vividly remember our first encounter… I lived in a larger overflow room, so most people wanted to stop in and check it out since it was different from the rest. After quickly peeking into my room, Mark’s mom introduced herself and proceeded to tell me about her cute son. Not thinking much about it, she decided she was going to bring him by to show him my ‘unique’ dorm room. The second Mark walked through my door my heart skipped a beat. He was SO cute (his mom was right) and shy. We clicked immediately and from that day forward remained close friends, until three years later when Mark took me out on our first official date. I will never forget that Justin Bieber concert! The rest was history and after six years of dating Mark proposed at a park overlooking the city where we fell in love, San Diego.
I am lucky to call Mark by better half, who I love more than anything. He is a true partner and inspires me each day to be the best version of myself. I never doubt his support and I could not ask for a better best friend to navigate this life with. Through all the ups and downs I wouldn’t change a thing as it has only made us stronger, it is a true blessing this year to be celebrating our 10th year together. While we balance life at home, time with family and side hustles, we also have jobs in the corporate world. Mark is in Biotech Sales and I work at an email marketing technology firm as a Sr. Account Manager.
Today.
In 2018, Mark and I moved to Orange County to be closer to family. Family is number one to both of us and we knew this was always our goal when it came time to start our own. We were blessed to welcome our baby girl to the world in May 2019 and are completely obsessed with our Millie Bee.
My family and friends are my source of inspiration for this blog and I am excited for this new venture. Thank you for following along!
I am excited to feature my family on this site relaunch post. These photos will always be close to my heart, it was Millie’s first time at the beach captured by our favorite Nicole Leever Photography.
