    Living room. Just hanging out.  He’s probably eating peanut butter in that KONG. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    He LOVED  treats 🤣 (video credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

    Our first apartment together had the washer and dryer inside my bedroom. That’s the noise you hear (:

    When I picture my dream home, I picture any place that I could be with my dog by myself. I don’t care what state it’s in. I don’t care if it’s a mansion or one bedroom apartment.

    I just want him….and Air Conditioning 😩 lol

    Raine Olivia Amae 💖 she’s a beautiful story I have yet to share with the world.  She was loved her whole life.

    My Grandma Bia

    My best friend. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

    She used to dunk her cookies in milk all the time. She applied lipstick on me whenever she was done doing her makeup. She lived in Florida up until my parents moved her to a nursing home here in CA. When I lived in germany when I was younger, Grandma Bia 👵  would only be able to visit during the holidays and every so often. When we moved to CA I think she was able to travel only 1 time.

    She passed away from all while I was in college taking my finals 😩 I wasn’t able to leave to say goodbye to her or to spread her ashes. It haunts me everyday.

    I learned a lot from her ❤️💖

  • I am an assistant director at a daycare in the town I have lived in since I was in 1st grade.

    I moved away after I graduated college and moved back to CA in 2023.

    Found the job i’m currently at and started as a floater ( someone who does ten minute breaks fir the teachers in the class, also did 1 hour lunches for the teacher).

    I had the privilege of moving up to be coming an assistant director a little over a year ago and I love it.

    Every day is different. I’m on a computer answering emails, checking Power BI, excel sheets and live document. On top of that, i’m in charge of all the child files  as well as the teacher files.

    I spend my morning at the desk then.I’m usually in the classroom doing lunch works and then I come back and do my lunch and then i’m back at the computer.

    I attend meeting (usally tuesday and thursday), give school tours,attend to a child that needs assistance or a teacher can assistance.

    So i’m up for my desk very often sometimes in between emails lol.

    I tried to capture a day in my life so here it it.

    Woke up at 5am. Layed in bed till 745am. Took a shower. Out the door by 830am. Drove to work. Clocked in at 9am after talking to some teachers and checking emails. I don’t like to clock in early if I arrive 20 minutes early to work.

    So here we go! Tried to time stamps as much as possible!

    9am breakfast (didn’t get a chance to even eat it, back in the fridge for tomorrow’s 7am shift). (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    A teacher wanted coffee at like 928am so I went and got coffee. Finally was able to settle down around 10am at the computer. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

    11am-1130am did a lunch break for my toddler teacher. 1140am-1155am computer work, check emails, check child ratios. Prepare to do another lunch break from 12pm-1pm. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    12pm-1pm lunch break for a teacher. Swept the floor and the table. Got the beds out. Make the beds (this takes the longest. Each kids has a fitted crib sheet and a blanket). Did diaper and made sure kiddos went potty. Read a book and play music! Easy (: (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    1pm-2pm MY LUNCHTIME. I fail cause I am usually doing work, emails and what not during my lunch. Everything but eating the lunch I brought from home. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
