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 ...

Self Care -Masks

I have been trying to focus more on myself lately. My son is 4 now and I have let my own health, wellness, beauty routine and skincare go by the wayside far too long. Since I am still sore from the accident I can't do my walking DVD or any kind of workout yet so I'm changing gears for now and moving on to skincare. I'm knocking on the door to 40 and probably should have been focusing on my skin more long ago. Tonight we have a holiday party to attend. I thought I would try out an eye mask and try to do something about my "mom circles" under my eyes. I dug a Yes to Cucumbers eye mask out of my drawer and decided to give it a try. The pros: the cucumber smell was lovely and the eye patches felt lovely on my skin. The cons: it did absolutely nothing for my dark circles and I feel like it almost made them deeper! The above picture is during the mask and the below is 20 minutes after. I wasn't expecting magic, but I wasn't expecting worse! An...
