about

hello friends!
Thanks for stopping by

I'm Joanna & I'm the voice behind this blog
I was born in a small town in Poland, grew up in New York and made a home in Arizona

I'm a new mommy and wife
documenting tidbits of this lovely little life I've been blessed with

{Our story}

I met my husband on MySpace,
saying that still makes me giggle

We were both 18,
 he came into Friendly's, a restaurant where I was waitressing 
we spotted each other out in the crowd,
 after that we became inseparable & still are to this day
you can read the whole story here

{Dream come true proposal}

On July 6, 2009 -Danny asked me to marry him 
on top of the Eiffel tower on our vacation in France

{Goodbye NY, Hello PHX}
We knew that NY was not were we wanted to live and start a family,
so we packed my car with our belongings & we headed for sunny Arizona
we got there on the 4th day,  December 29th, 2010. We lived with my sister for a little while, then got an apartment & eventually bought a home

{Home owners at last}
on June 3rd, 2011 we got the keys to our 1st home
it was the proudest moment of our lives

{we're pregnant!}
a month after moving into our house
we got the best news possible...a little baby was on the way :)

{Our fur baby Charlie}

Charlie is our long haired Chihuahua

he will always be our 1st baby

{Our wedding}

the original date was 11.11.11 - booked & all

but since we got a little surprise, 

we moved the date to September 24th 2011 

that way I was able to still fit into my wedding dress...oops :)

I showed a little bit...or atleast I thought so

{Our beautiful Sienna is born}

On March 13th, the day after our 25th birthday (yes, we have the same birthday)

we welcomed our daughter into the world

her birth story here

{family of three}

Sienna is now almost 6 months old, this blog is mainly for her. 

I plan on turning it into a book so she can one day read the story of how she came to be and how much we love our life with her
