Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl, Alexandra!

“And if one fine day you got bored and you said, ‘Today I’m not me, I’m a lion instead’ even if I’d never heard it before, I’d know it was you by the sound of your roar.”

Thank you to Nancy Tillman for giving me the perfect way to express my love for my little darling who is, coincidently, going through a phase of roaring right now (literally roaring in everyone’s face) … trust me we know Alex’s ROAR!

Welcome to Daily Dex!

We live in Mexico City, Mexico. Our families live in the Midwest, USA. The distance didn't seem so bad when it was just my husband and I, but after Dexter arrived, and especially after Alexandra arrived, 1500 miles was just too much for our families.

Shortly after Dexter was born, so was Daily Dex: our little blog is designed to be a safe haven for all the gushing, bragging and sharing of Dexter’s & Alex's daily accomplishments and adorable little milestones.

In other words, if you came here – you are asking for it!
