About Me

Hi! I’m Miranda, a mama of two little ones here in the Bay Area, California.

Bare with me as I try to break my life down a bit for those of you who don’t know me personally! Here are the basics:

I met my fiancé through work. He was the owner of a construction company and I was his office manager. Long story short, we ended up dating after a while. The curve ball: he’s twenty six years older than I am. I’ll never forget the first time we really clicked. I thought to myself “nooooo, I wouldn’t….. this wouldn’t work….. it couldn’t be a thing…..” But it was, and it ended up being my everything. Somehow, some way, we just WORKED. I love my days with him and his crazy sense of humor. He’s one of a kind (if you know him, you understand). Everyone’s big concern for us was around children, but kids were out of the picture for us – he had three adult children around my age, and I didn’t think I could have children. It was a nonissue for us.

A couple of years later, David proposed to me (despite not getting a blessing) and I said YES! Our families who had a tougher time understanding our relationship, slowly joined in on our happiness. Our first surprise of baby number one came a year later. Our sweet girl, miss Lennan Rae, joined us in 2020, in the beginning of the pandemic. Fast forward seven months, we got COVID and the three of us were super sick. I was unbelievably achy, out of breath, feverish, nauseous…. I was not well. Three weeks later I was still nauseous, but something felt different. I decided to take a test and found out I was surprisingly pregnant, again. Eeekkk! Jack Oliver came in 2021, giving Lennan a baby brother to love on. Our children are sixteen months apart (aka two under two).

Since having Lennan, I became a stay at home mom while Dave continued on with his construction. I went from working 40-70 hours a week alongside him to being home alone with two babies all day every day. Needless to say, it has rocked my world a bit! It has taken a lot of getting used to. I love it SO very much, and am most grateful for my babies and this opportunity to be home with them, but it is a LOT. Some days are fun and easy going….. others are a complete circus show…. and I have reached a point where I have accepted that I am the ring leader of said show.

This IS my life. I am a mom.

XO
