Mamas & their babies

Claudia mamas & their babies Kali, motherhood, Valerie 2 Comments

Valerie and I met through my old job about 3 years ago.

She is one of the few people I have met here in Miami who was raised here and still makes Miami her permanent home.

It’s hard for me to believe that Valerie is 1- from here and 2- that I haven’t known her longer because when I’m with her, I’m quickly reminded of Kristin who I have known almost my whole life.

Valerie is a fun, strong, easy going, hands-on mama to her wild and charismatic Kali.

I miss working with this lady but, I’m glad I have her as a friend and I can always call her for a fun time out. 🙂

Yesterday we went over to our friends Marie and Sunday’s home to celebrate their son Ade’s seventh birthday.

On the way there, Will was in denial of how old Ade is already thinking that he was turning four.

Yeah, like three years ago!!

Ade’s birthday is a big bash every year and I’m happy to say that with the exception of one year, I have been there for every single celebration since he turned one.

It was wonderful to have spent the day with my Haitian family.

Happy birthday Ade, you rock star!!!

(P.S.- Even though I’m a day late, I’m linking to Mandy for Steppin Out)

Oh, and Happy July 4th everyone! 🙂 Have fun and be safe!
