About — Mud Puddles & Motherhood

Hi, I’m Angela!

I’m a buckeye girl who fell in love with an island boy and found myself calling a beautiful little rock in the Caribbean home. It’s been a heck of a ride moving this far to the Equator, and I can’t wait to see what this island has in store for me and my family.

I hope you enjoy my version of life here on the island of St. Croix.

One Love,

Angela

Some days you just give them the carton, and today is one of those days. .

Negotiating with toddlers pretty much means you’re not negotiating. My pinging eardrums enjoyed the break of silence while ice cream was being scooped into his mouth.

Life is slowly getting back to normal here in the USVI. It was a breath of fresh air enjoying outdoor time with friends again at the lagoon. It was the first time I let Orion play with other children freely in over 3 months. And damn, it felt good.

It was graduation day for our teen! We officially have a high schooler! .
