My child started daycare in October. I’ve been sick more times than I can count. Currently our entire household is down & out with a variety of illnesses—a true buffet of germs. Will it ever end?

The only one still standing is our good girl Chuleta who is watching us all with v concerned eyes 😮‍💨

The latest on the series of L’s I’ve been taking is that I’m missing the #IvyQueen concert tonight at Carnegie hall! We got comp tix for being partners but I’m still recovering from 🤒

A huge group from CENTRO are going & THEY ARE GONNA HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME.

Asking for FOMO prayers at this time 🙏🏾

The world is a dumpster fire & so many of us our mourning what is and would could be…everyday I am doing my best to focus on the moments of beauty, little snippets of joy, and the wonder of the world through the eyes of this little one.
