hello from puerto rico! we’ve been spending the week here during spring break from school and we cannot get enough of this beautiful place. last saturday, we hiked juan diego falls in the yunque national forest (which is the only rain forest included in the united states national forest service, kinda cool!) and i saw the most insane 360 degree rainbow circling the bottom of the waterfall when you stood in the middle of it!...

with a winter that has felt somewhat never-ending at times (hi, looking right at you, all-of-january), i’m rather surprised that our household has fought off any flus or stomach bugs or major illnesses this season, something i have felt rather stressed about at times with two new babies in our home now crawling and discovering things with their little grasps and mouths all day long....

the first year of life for a little one is filled with so many incredible first milestones. that first breath of life, first hour in your arms, first week, then month on earth with you. the first baby check-up, first bottle or pacifier, first smile or coo or giggle. first official stroller ride to the park, to the playground, to the store....

thank you to capital one for sponsoring this post.

i have the utmost respect for figure skaters who dance and jump and do insane tricks on the ice with sharp blades strapped to their feet. i mean! i was a dancer once upon a time and i feel like i have fairly decent balance and coordination, but the thought of lifting my leg up high while moving on a tiny blade over cold ice is just impossible to me....
