It already seems like there aren't enough hours in the day, and today we've lost yet another hour. I've spent the weekend organizing my home, first by taking on one of my biggest tasks -- going through Gabriel's old clothes. Jennie recommended buying the Container Store's Clear Deep Sweater boxes and label them by size. Whatever doesn't fit in the box has to go. It has been a cleansing project. As I smelled and folded all his 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes my heart sobbed a little at his fleeting baby-ness.
When I wasn't cleaning, organizing, doing laundry, getting a massage and shopping for kid shoes, I played on the floor with my son. He's finally starting to love his Melissa & Doug puzzle set, the one that comes with 10 puzzles, front and back. He and I take turns putting the shapes in and for a moment time stands still, and we have all the time in the world.
Can never get enough of these piggies!
Pedro made his famous Baps, doughy rolls that taste terrific with tea and honey. I think it's his stress-buster, but our collective diet-buster.
My name is Monica Paredes and I work as an author, photographer and yoga teacher. However, my most fulfilling role is being a mom to my ever-expanding, light-filled son.
