Beautiful day at Golden Gate Park.

Hello, Samantha here!
Welcome to Substance and Soul.

I am a wife, a mom to two, a Catholic, and a public health dentist living in our new home on a little island by the San Francisco Bay. I collect sparkling earrings, enjoy drinking tea and red wine, hoard stationery, and take too many iPhone photos.

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

This is a love letter — to that stud right there. This has been an incredibly draining pregnancy, both mentally and physically. But here you are, day in and day out, taking care of our family. You do dinner time and bed time while I sit in my couch crater after my rough work day. You do everything for your family with a smile on your face and service in your heart. I love you. This family loves you. #dadsofinstagram

Our humming bird family has long left their nest. But now that tree, that so lovingly hosted a family of birds, has now produced the sweetest peaches. Our new home on this little island is our oasis and I am just grateful. That is all. 🐤🍑🌿☺️

Our local zoo opened up a new trail only accessible via a gondola ride. Three out of four approved. 🐻🦅🦌
