Two years ago today, I left everything in NYC for my honeyluvz and never looking back… I love you, Jamie.

Few photos from our short stay in Seaside, OR last weekend:

And also, my newest web development:

Happy first birthday to my sweet little angel.

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, it’s also my youngest nephew’s 12th birthday… BITCHIN’!

I haven’t designed much websites in the last couple years. Because of that, I almost forget how to structure a simple webpage layout. How sad that is. Recently, I’ve taken up a new project which I’m pretty excited about. It’s not a huge or cutting edge project, but it has given me the chance to get my creative juices flowing again. Sometimes I forget how much I love building a website from the ground up; coming up with the initial design and putting everything together. And when something goes wrong (something ALWAYS go wrong!), pinpointing that one small fucking error is sometimes pretty challenging. The weird side of me likes that challenge. It has inspired me to finally redesign this site as well. I have pretty cool ideas!

Aside from that, in 4 short days my Maiya turns 1. What an amazing year it has been. She has turned my world that much more beautiful.

Oh… I realize it’s been months since I’ve uploaded any pics to my flickr. So just to keep things somewhat fresh and up to date, I added a couple new pics of 2 of my babies.

For 31 and a half years of my life, every month of May I have celebrated the good ol’ Mother’s Day for my beautiful mom. My mom is the mother of the friggin’ century! I love her. I’ve even celebrated it for my sister who has been a mommy to 2 boys for last 15 years. This year, I get to take part and feel special for that one day.

No one ever said being a mommy is easy and I knew that. I have my human moments… Moments when I wished my little girl could talk and tell me why she is upset or let me sleep undisturbed for XX hours straight or let mommy and daddy have their few minutes together. But in the end, I’m still crazy about my Maiya. She turns a year old in only a few short weeks (turns 11 months ON Mother’s Day this year!) and I look forward to seeing her do her new things day after day. There is no other feeling I get when my princess smile right back at me, or hearing the little giggles when I’m making silly noises, or when she reaches out and needs me for comfort.

I remember having conversation with a certain someone who kept saying she’s afraid of the things that come with being a mom, like labor pains, putting up with a crying baby, losing her freedom… Well, shit! You may as well be that one crotchety old bitch in the neighborhood that has no kids and complain everyday. BEING A MOMMY ROCKS!

With that said, here’s to all the amazing mommies. And to my mommy, I love you.
