Welcome!

Welcome to Adobo & Fries. I'm a Midwest girl who met an East Coast Filipino guy on Eharmony and we created our Adobo & Fries family. I have a 4 year old son who is high needs and a 6 year old 100lb black lab. This is about us and how I navigate mom and wife life as I navigate rediscovering myself after years of putting myself on the back burner.

I encourage you to comment, share and contact me! We are all in this together and I love hearing your stories and words.

    This is fantastic. No one ever talks about how the mom gets completely neglected when dealing with a high needs child. Can't wait to read your posts :)

    Love this! I think this is a reality for a lot of moms. We definitely put our little families first and tend to push #1 to the back. ~ Patty

I truly could not have gotten through the first 10 days post-accident without a village. It was honestly a village I didn't know I had. We have only lived in our town a few years. I'm not one to make friends easily. I have an anxiety disorder and struggle with putting myself out there and making small talk. Its hard for me to ask for help and I feel awkward accepting it. Unfortunately not being able to walk easily and being unable to drive for a week put me in a position where help was a necessity. When offers to help poured in I couldn't always say "no thank you, we are fine". Sometimes I had to say yes and take them up on their offers.  I'm shocked

The Holiday Spirit

Since our car accident we've been struggling to get into the holiday spirit this year. Thanksgiving was a bust since the first half was spent still in the hospital and our decorations for Christmas have been minimal due to lingering pain and energy restrictions.  One of my favorite holiday traditions is baking treats for our neighbors and I was determined to still get that done this year. I made three different types of cookies and a special Thank You pie for my friend who stayed with us all night in the ER. Both my husband and Eli helped (and Orion laid on the rug beneath our feet) so it was truly a family affair this year. My back hurts and my kitchen is a disaster but it was more than worth it. I made my delivery rounds today, dropping off the goodies. To our next door neighbors who put up with our barky dog, who lend us tools and who are always up for a good over the fence chat, to our elderly neighbor across the street who lost her husband this year just to give her som
