so you’d like to know who to blame for all this
It’s me, Mexicalico
I’m a Southern California girl who has been in and out of Southern Coastal Mexico since 2009. I discovered my second home and home base for everything fun under the blazing hot tropical sun.
In 2012, I met an incredible man in Southern California, and we decided to get married, keep our life as simple as possible, and move to China. Instead, we discovered I was having a baby!
So we moved to Mexico, had another baby, moved back from Mexico, then had two more babies. At the same time. Well, seven minutes apart. Simple? Not entirely. Beautiful? Most beautiful.
What happens next? No, seriously, I’d love to know.
Thanks for stopping by while we navigate each beautiful, complicated, priceless moment together.
