About Me...

I am a wife, mommy of two amazing children and a precious little puggle named Nikko.  I am a high school educator who loves the challenges and rewards that the position brings.   I am a lover or dolphins, pearls, angels and all things Disney.  Lavender is my flower of choice for I love the peace and tranquility that it's scent delivers.  I embrace life as well as solitude... a bit of a an introvert I would admit but that's certainly not to say that I don't enjoy the company of those I love.  Photography and crafting is in my nature but finding the time to do it outside of summer is quite the challenge.  The same goes for reading... if only there was more time!   I am a person of faith although at times challenged by life's lessons.... I guess that makes me human.  I am a self admitted Pinterest Addict!  Thanks to my fabulous Godmother... my nina Noey!

Why the blog and what's with the title?  I've decided to blog for three reasons.  The first is for myself... you know just one of those things on the bucket list of life.  The other is for my family as I hope this serves as a reminder of who I am and how much I love each and everyone of them.  I plan to share those simple things in life that bring a smile to my face in the hopes that it will bring a smile to their face as well.  Lastly, as an educator and founder of a girls group that focuses on dreams, goal setting and independence I sadly have found that all too many young women fail to believe in themselves and hence do not dare to dream.  I hope in some ways I am able to inspire and spark something in those who read to challenge themselves and always strive for personal sucess.... Im talking to you lady bug! (That's my thirteen year old daughter) Arroz con Leche is a sweet Mexican dessert that brings cherished memories of my childhood. Cinnamon was just that little something added that made it just that perfect treat especially on those oh so chilly nights. 

I hope you enjoy and remember to always shoot for the moon for even if you miss you will land among the stars!  Hasta pronto! xoxox
