Hello! We are a young couple and first time parents. Jason is 32 and a Lead Software Engineer for a company out of state. He works from home, which allows him to never miss a “first” with our daughter, Mireya. I, Lane, am a 24-year-old stay at home mom, who takes care of the house, two cats, and an extremely busy 1-year-old. Mireya is always my first priority, though I’m really looking forward to taking some college classes in the coming months. Mireya, is our little girl, and she is absolutely a joy. She is incredibly active and she keeps us on our toes. She’s also smart, funny and always looking to get into something. Our two cats are Spartacus and Zoey. They are so loving, but just like most cats, they can be very naughty.

We started this blog to share happenings about our lives with family. Now, I also enjoy using it as a platform to express my thoughts and opinions on numerous subjects. I don’t claim to be an expert, I just feel that I have something to say. I have always been known for articulating my feelings, and since I’m home most of the time now with my daughter, I use this blog as my outlet. Please feel free to comment on anything I write, whether you agree or disagree. I strive to be an open-minded individual and I love hearing other peoples opinions, even when they oppose my own. That is, unless of course, you’re my husband.

Also, please check out my recipes page. I have a newly discovered love for cooking. I enjoy making quick, easy and healthy meals with Jason. I wanted desperately to lose all the baby weight I gained during my pregnancy and to keep it off when I reached my goal. I’ve lost 70 pounds in under a year and most of it is due to eating healthy. I try and choose meals that feature fresh ingredients, easy preparation, and lots of flavor. Anything that makes leftovers and stores well is also a bonus. My recipes are not original, they are usually adapted from another source, so I try and give credit to the original author. I change the ingredients to suit my family’s needs and tastes, so feel free to do the same.

Thank you for visiting our blog and come back soon!
