Many people wonder how I became a blogger & content creator and this is my backstory. ⁣
⁣
I always loved reading & writing and discovered my love for photography in high school when I was disillusioned and lost. The photography class was offered once a week for an hour and it was one of few classes that I truly enjoyed and found inspiring. ⁣
⁣
However a career in writing and photography didn’t seem like a viable option and I felt I had to conform and settle for a “safe” career that others have paved for my generation. So I went to college, moved onto graduate school and received degrees in English so I can teach and have a stable career that others understand.⁣
⁣
Today when I tell people I’m a blogger, I still get puzzled looks. Many think it’s simply a hobby not a real professional career, and very few understand what I do.⁣
⁣
Contrary to popular belief, being a content creator takes real talent, creativity, dedication, perseverance, education and work like any other career— the only difference is that IT’S NEW. We are ones who took the road less traveled, ones to hold a job title that hasn’t been thoroughly studied or mainstreamed.⁣
⁣
We are the first generation of people who have turned their passions and talents into a newfound career that’s still evolving. It’s not easy but I know this is exactly what I was meant to do.⁣
⁣
So if you’re reading this and considering taking the road less traveled to follow a passion that others may not understand, I’d say GO FOR IT. I also want to remind you not to be scared of the time it will take because TIME WILL PASS ANYWAY.⁣
⁣
Lastly, don’t rely on others to understand or believe in your vision. You don’t need anyone else’s permission or assurance because this is YOUR LIFE and the vision is for YOU and no one else.⁣
⁣
After all, if you don’t believe in your own vision and dreams, who will? ✨ 👉🏼 scroll for my #travelogue. All photos taken with @canonusa M50. ⁣#mommydiarytravels

Happy Sunday! I can’t believe it’s December already and I’m feeling all the holiday vibes in the air- how about you? We just returned home from a fun filled trip to Vancouver and missing this room & view at @fairmontvan. ⁣
⁣
One of my favorite parts of traveling is staying in hotels with my family. We not only indulge with room service & good food but also explore new cities and find magic wherever we go! Being together in one space and spending all day together from morning to bedtime is a great way to reconnect without schools, appointments & work- and it’s something we prioritize and work hard for! ⁣
⁣
Do you have holiday travel plans coming up? You can check out my blog mommy-diary.com under the travel section for my family travel guide. Don’t miss my travel highlights for my #HotelVancouver story and stay tuned for a fun blog post with all the details! #sponsored #fairmontmoments #mommydiarytravels

Spending our last day in Seattle at @pikeplacepublicmarket and eating at our favorite restaurant. The girls wanted to spend time with grandparents so I’m on a date with the boys. This is probably the last time I’ll be here as a mom of 3 and I can’t believe I’m gonna be with another baby the next time we visit. ⁣
⁣
When I get home I have a million things to do like putting up the Christmas tree, preparing for the baby and holiday shopping. Meanwhile I’m going to soak in the moment and enjoy my last day here. See you on the other side! 🛬 #mommydiarytravels #week31

As a mom of almost 4, I know how important it is for women to take charge of their fertility and vaginal health. Did you know that for most couples, the odds that a woman will become pregnant are 15-25% in any given month? However, factors like age, irregular menstrual cycles and medical conditions can affect a woman’s chances of becoming pregnant. ⁣
⁣
There are several over-the-counter (OTC) products available to help plan and detect a pregnancy. At-home ovulation kits work by detecting a rise in luteinizing hormone (LH) in a urine sample, as a rise in this hormone signals a woman’s ovary to release the egg. ⁣
⁣
You can also detect a pregnancy by using at-home pregnancy tests which measures your body’s level of hCG, a hormone that’s only produced during pregnancy.⁣

Happy Thanksgiving friends! I’m especially grateful this year because I’m spending Thanksgiving with my parents who live a plane ride away. ⁣
⁣
No matter where you are in your life at this moment, there’s always something to be grateful for and I hope today gives you another opportunity to find that joy in your life. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving and holiday season! I know there are a lot of voices & perspectives on social media and I’m thankful you are here with me! 🦃❤️🥰 ⁣
