Hellobee

Hello hive! I am so excited to join the Hellobee team and share my little family with you! I live in California with my husband and two daughters currently 3 months and almost 3 years old, whom are looking more alike everyday! I am a SAHM and love my job. Before becoming a mother, I practiced architecture and have a very rich love for buildings, art, photography and design. I returned to work for awhile after having my first daughter Gemma, but I felt a calling to become a SAHM; it was a huge decision for me and one that I actually had not planned for in my very well thought out and heavily planned life! Funny how life has a way of throwing your plans out the window….

So these days you can find me in the kitchen with my girls trying new recipes, building tents in their bedroom, playing in the backyard and doing lots and lots of crafts and watercoloring. I approach motherhood from the perspective of organized chaos. Personally, I am a very organized person so I enjoy having lots of well-thought-out projects and adventures for my children to enjoy however, throw in a lot of unpredictability of raising children and you’ve got the chaos. And, I love it. Everyday is different and special and that helps me feel fulfilled. Even the rough days of temper tantrums, two kids crying and pee accidents… still special… some maybe more special than others!

My personal hobby and keeper of my sanity is blogging. It is my creative outlet and I like to blog about my home life: stories, crafts, cooking and all of the things we do in our home to make it a loving, creative place.

Lately, I have been working on the balancing act of two children and blogging. But with our new addition baby Summer along for the ride, I actually think our family has become a bit more mellow! Though they look like twinsies, Gemma and Summer have completely different personalities so far. More on that in the future….

My husband and I have been together for 11 years, married for 4. I feel like most of our life together has just recently started when we became a real life family with our first baby girl. We both always wanted children so having that dream fulfilled really led us down a path that we are very happy with. I hope that you will enjoy following our daily dilemmas, adventures and lessons as we navigate raising my little girls.
