My name is Esperanza (for blogging purposes). I am a 30 year old middle school Spanish/English Language Development teacher living in San Francisco, CA. This blog was created after I lost my first pregnancy and continued trying to conceive. Only months later I became pregnant again. While my pregnancy was riddled with anxiety I enjoyed it immensely. In early June of 2010 I welcomed my daughter into the world.
Now this blog has become a record of my journey as I stumble gracefully through motherhood. I continue combating my anxiety by practicing mindfulness, acceptance and loving-kindness. I try to be the best mother I can be while letting go of society's expectations and being content with who I am and what I can do.
Motherhood has brought me many places, including the world of cloth diapering (with a coin-fed laundry machine!), bilingual parenting and stroller negotiation in a crowded city. This blog will explore all these topics and more as I try to make sense of my new identity.
I hope you can join me as I stumble gracefully towards the new me.

That last picture? Left me breathless. What an amazing shot.

She is beautiful- really. What a sweetheart.
Ok, this is going to sound really weird, but can I buy those overalls from you when Isa outgrows them (or can you tell me where you got them)? I have been looking for those exact overalls everywhere- we have a picture of my husband in those overalls when he was about 2, and he looks just like Grayson. I want to “copy” the picture w/ G when he gets a little older. I know they are Osh Kosh, but I just can’t find them anywhere!
Gorgeous shots.
That last one really is amazing! It just captures such joy in the moment. a definitely non-meh moment:)
But I also saw it and realized, you know sometimes I see strangers when I am out and about and they are so so joyful — their world is so perfect! And then I see your photo and realize, these amazing moments they are woven into other moments, but here on your blog I can see this joyful photo and then read your words from other days. I can’t do that when I am witnessing people on the street. That little realization was really wonderful for me today.
and that photo– just wow!!! Love it!
Such beauties!
Love the ‘collecting leaves’
There is NOTHING cuter than a toddler in overalls. : ) I am told they are out of style right now (sez who??) & maybe that’s why Elizabeth is having a hard time finding them?
