The baby started preschool last week making today the first day I’ve spent alone since the twins started kindergarten four years ago. Even then, I was carrying a child in my womb so I’m not exactly sure if that counts as alone. Either way, in the days leading up today, and even on this day, […]

    I really appreciate this post. The “easily overstimulated and introverted” statement helped articulate when I sometimes feel trapped while at home with my kiddo (almost 1 year old). I’m so glad to hear that you’re getting the time and space you need for yourself again finally. (Gives me hope…)ReplyCancel

Let me start out by saying that this will be a very long, photo-heavy post. It is intended to serve as my own personal travel journal and a (hopefully) valuable resource for anyone interested in visiting this part of Mexico with kids. If you’re not me or someone interested in visiting this part of Mexico with […]

    Really great photos! I especially liked the close up on the cut coconuts. And, of course, the “Stay Mad” comment had me laughing pretty hard. Thanks for posting!ReplyCancel

    as someone who wants to go back to playa del carmen this article is making me reconsider going that route. did you ever feel like staying there wasn’t safe? I have felt like a resort is safer. thanks for this post.ReplyCancel

      Hi Erick! I won’t say I felt unsafe, but I might use the word “uncomfortable” for one situation. We had no food in the house and I decided to bike a few blocks to find a convenience store. The sun was setting and my tire was flat and the streets were far more crowded (I’d say 90% locals) than during the day. Lots of cat calls but nothing you wouldn’t encounter in Houston. I think it was the combination of the uncertainty of where I was going, the flat tire and the one thousand mosquitos that made the situation uncomfortable. I say go for it. It was a fantastic experience and I definitely felt more “away” than I would have at an English-speaking resort.ReplyCancel

    Wow! I loved seeing this. We are planning a trip there now with our two little boys. I will definitely use some of your advice.ReplyCancel

Let me start by saying THANK YOU to so many of you who have checked on me over these past few days. I truly appreciate it. And it’s been nice communicating with folks outside these walls since I was only released to drive today. The surgery went smoothly. We showed up on time. They finished on […]

    Hi Larami, our boys where in class together. I went to Dr. P. also!! I was chatting with a mutual friend today and she told me about your blog. I had everything done with the exception of breast augmentation 2 years ago. I literally had a consult today. I had an awesome recovery also. I am pleased but I scarred poorly. (Not his fault, just my skin) I am going back to get breast augmentation and scar revision.

    My advice to you is watch your diet while on rest from working out. I could not do anything for 8 weeks. I gained 15lbs!! Also go to every follow up even if you feel great. I could’ve prevented my scarring but I chose to skip most of my post op visits.

    Cheers to Summa;-)ReplyCancel

      Heeeey! Thanks so much for the tips, Sha! I’ve been nervous about this 6 weeks without exercise 😳. I tried to really amp it up before the surgery in hopes that I’d hold on to some muscle while I recover 😄. Did you use the scar therapy he recommends? It is SO expensive and I’ve read from so many doctors that your skin will heal how it heals regardless to what you apply. I tend to believe it because I did nothing to my c-sections and they were barely visible after a year.ReplyCancel

    Hi Laramie!! This is amazing!! I am interested in visiting your doctor, please inbox me his information. You look MORE amazing now!!!!ReplyCancel

  • Sha Lilly Groves

    I did use the therapy. But I agree, you heal how you heal. I keloid. I did with my first c section but my ob went back and fixed it the second time. That’s why I was super paranoid. I told Dr. P prior to surgery. He says had I come to my visits I would’ve prevented that. You live, you learn.ReplyCancel

I don’t have anything to talk about. But I really really love photography and I really really love the beach and I really really love sharing both with these perfect little boys.
