Wife. Mom. Dentist. Catholic.

Here are my stories of the things that matter.
And the things that don't too. 

Let’s connect

Hiiii 👋🏼 Happy Friday! I’m Samantha and let’s get to know each other for #Fridayintroductions. ✨I could eat ice cream every single day of my life. No regrets. As long as it’s full-fat and not that low cal crap.
✨I cannot help but squeal when I see a penguin. It’s an uncontrollable impulse. I love them so much.
✨I love animal and nature documentaries but will sob uncontrollably if a baby animal dies.
✨I cannot go to sleep without washing my face and brushing my teeth. I don’t care how tired I am.
✨At this point, nothing grosses me out. The only thing that makes me squirmy is that dried chunk of lotion that gets stuck in the lotion pump.
✨If I could pick the brain of anyone in history, I’d love to chat with Jane Austen.
✨I love musicals. My favorites are Sound of Music, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Calamity Jane, and My Fair Lady.

Okay your turn! Who would you want to chat with if you could?
I am over at @blessedisshe__ today. Head over there and let’s chat about what it means to see ourselves in a different light - as a child of God.

Awkward and awesome

May 05, 2015 in Motherhood

AWKWARD
- Trying to explain to a one year-old the dangers of heights/climbing while she looks mischievously over her shoulders and smiles. 
- Realizing the scrubs you've been wearing have a huge hole in the butt cheek. 
- Trying to plug in a USB iPhone cord upside-down, turning it and trying again, doesn't work, turning and trying, NOPE. WHAT is there a fifth dimension or something? 
- E pulling my hair, me wincing, E laughing and pulling harder. Hilarious. 
- And that's all the awkwards I remember, thanks brain for all your hard work. 

AWESOME
- Emma waking up between us and softly patting my face, turning to pat Paul's face, nuzzling up by our faces, and coaxing us to greet the day. 
- Paul telling me of his boss's admiration of him and the upcoming promotion. 
- Watching Emma take in new things in his little world. I swear, I've never experienced anything so rewarding.
- Re-reading/audiobooking old favorites. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe will always be on the top of my list. 
- The candid bacon I had in my cocktail last night. I mean come on...
