Oh my gawssh.. This year was such a year of growt Oh my gawssh..

This year was such a year of growth for all three of these kiddies. 

Brayden, losing his baby face and seeing his self-confidence soar. 

Sophia, little Miss Sparkle. Spreading her light, embracing friendships, sports, and the challenge her academics put before her. 

And Jameson… oh Jameo... a  Mayor at the ball field and will certainly continue that status when he enters the doors of elementary school.

We are forever thankful for the amazing teachers these three had this year and are super proud of these little beings of ours. ❤️❤️❤️
And Jameson is officially a graduate from Jodi/Car And Jameson is officially a graduate from Jodi/Carol’s Playhouse, the daycare that has been a part of our family for the last 10 years..

A decade.

We wouldn’t have had it any other way.. these four women here loved each of our babies as if they were their own.  They’ve helped Andrew and I navigate parenthood… they’ve seen me at my worst (especially when Sophia was sick with her undiagnosed celiac) to now.. raising three healthy, beautiful children while occasionally riding the hot mess express! 🚂 

Our family is forever grateful for the love, attention, dedication, and knowledge we received the last 10 years. There are truly not enough words to express the love and gratitude within all our hearts.

Thank you, Jodi, Carol, Dar, and Rici. We love you and will miss you❤️😭❤️

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you do to your hair?

As of October 2018, my hair color is balayage and then I curl it daily!  You can get these curls, too!  Check out my video tutorial, here!

What is  “The Compound”?

I live on a 70-acre apple farm with my family on all sides- my brother is my neighbor and then my parents are down a few rows of trees.  We drive golf carts and four-wheelers and love to go fishing in the spring.  Love our Compound!

What do you do when you’re not blogging?

I work full time as a middle school, special education teacher and an S & D Ambassador <3 me my EVER Skincare

Why do you share gluten-free recipes and finds?

Sophia, my daughter, has celiac disease which requires her to eat gluten-free in order to thrive and live a healthy life.  She was diagnosed in 2014 (2.5 years old) after a two-week stay at a local children’s hospital.  What happens if she ingests gluten?  It’s not good, you can read how severe her case is right here. 

What are your favorite beauty/make-up products? (I am in the process of trying “cleaner” beauty products.  Feel free to send recommendations on over.)

Skincare – EVER Pure Results Skincare Regimen 

Makeup- Out the Door Cheek and Eye Palette, Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 32

Hair removal, Finishing Touch Flawless Hair Removal

Lashes- As of January 2018, I have extensions by Emily Ell Makeup,  when I don’t have extensions I use EVER’s  Whiplash Mascara

Dry Shampoo, Batiste

Who is “Enriquez”? 

It’s a nickname for “The Hubs”, Andrew.  He was a radio DJ, known as “Andrew Enriquez” for many years and then started his own an entertainment company.  Check him out, www.enriquezentertainment.com

Did you breastfeed?

Indeed!  I breastfed/pumped for 1,095 days.. Or in other words, the first year of each of a Nikola Kiddie’s life!  I went through a nursing strike with Sophia (read that here) and even experienced thrush and blanching with Jameson #ohmygawd #thatwasterrible.  It was by far one of the most self-less and most demanding experiences I’ve ever done in my entire life.

Wait, so you camp?

Haha!  Camp, no… Glamp, yes!!  The Clan loves to glamp in our fifth wheel, Large Marge.  She’s a Solitude by Grand Design; a real beaut and just perfect for us.  We went through two travel trailers before we found her. Two of our favorite places are Lake George Escape and Massey’s Landing (pictured below).

Where did you get that blue and white gingham dress?

It’s from our local Vineyard and Vines outlet store!  It’s one of my most favorite dresses, EVER!

I’d love to collaborate, how can I get in touch with you?

Let’s do it!  You can email me at Borntoweardiamondsblog@gmail.com or find me on Facebook or Instagram.
