What I wish I'd known

We live right by our fire station and Henry’s dreams were realized when the engine was out and he was allowed to marvel at it up close. I think he would have only been happier had he been allowed to actually drive it away. Believe me, he tried. 🚒😍

Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, repeat.

Hi hi hi Friday! 👋🏼 WHEW! I have somehow survived my first week back at work after maternity leave. I am exhausted and I have missed my baby something fierce. (But I can do it...with the help of my BFF caffeine ☕️) It’s #Fridayintroductions, let’s chat and get to know each other.
- I’m a public health dentist 🦷 and I love what I do. When I see the health care disparities so rampant in this country, I see red, then I get to work.
- I am at my most philosophical and contemplative when I stare at a sunset.
- I blog here and there about life as a mom/dentist/Catholic/ice cream enthusiast.
- Besides my family, there are few things I love more than a new notebook, a cup of tea, a good book, or stationery supplies.
- I will cry if I see someone else cry.
- I am our resident bug capturer, furniture builder, super planner, but I don’t know squat about filing my own taxes.
- I find it physically impossible to turn down dessert.
- I always feel awkward when I take selfies.

Your turn! Tell me something random you’re really good at!
- For me, I am great at picking things up with my toes.
