ABOUT ME



ABOUT ANDI

If I could sum up my beliefs in just a few words, I’d say that I believe most strongly in nurturing our children, living simply, honouring intuition, and having a balanced approach to wellness.

MY BACKGROUND

My name is Andi, and I am married to my best friend and soul mate, and am a stay-at-home mama to three little ones (all boys).
I was born in Texas, but spent the majority of my childhood living in Italy. I am not Italian, but I am half Portuguese! I have a large number of wonderful Portuguese family members, whom I adore and miss terribly, because they all live so far away. It's such a unique experience, being exposed to different cultures, and living in different countries!

I began blogging this year, as a form of self-expression, and as a way to keep my family updated, since most of them live so far away. I am still relatively new at this, so the looks of things will probably change on here occasionally, as I "clean house", and organize. Being a mama is something I am passionate about, as well as minimalism, and budgeting

I have an MBA, and have previously worked as a college instructor. While I LOVED teaching, I also love being a SAHM. I was very career oriented, until I had my first child, and then all my priorites changed! The moment I looked into my first child's face, I knew I could never leave my children with anyone else. Being a mama, is just so fulfilling for me!  

I recently made the big decision to homeschool. I did a lot of research and soul searching, and I knew in my heart that it was the right decision for our family. I will be updating on my homeschooling journey, as it goes. Thank you for taking the time to stop by!








MOM'S BUSY YEAR PLANNER





Every busy mom should have one of these! If you are like me, and love making lists, this is a great little planner! It’s a cute and fun way to plan activities, make grocery lists, track appts. (etc.)

HAPPY FOURTH!



We had so much fun this year, celebrating the 4th of July! We had friends come over, with their two lovely daughters, and they had so much fun playing with sparklers and smoke bombs. Running around the back yard, and playing together with my two older sons. Also, this was an extra special fourth, because it was baby Nolan's first!
