About MommyWizard

I'm a 30-something mom who loves exploring and learning new things. I love the outdoors and want to visit all the U.S. National Parks (I'm currently at 39/59). I'm an engineer and trying to encourage my toddler to love science and math every step of the way. I'm obsessed with Pixar films and Harry Potter. And I wish I was a wizard (especially when it comes to cleaning and balancing it all).

Happy Belated Birthday James!

It’s a little late but…Happy Birthday James!!!

A few years ago, we threw him a surprise party started by a simple scavenger hunt. As he went off on his quest, the rest of us snuck into his apartment and waited. 20 minutes later he returned to find Jordan sitting on the couch with his cake and the rest of us hiding around. Afterwards, we played some wii… James really enjoyed it.

the Midwest

I think the greatest friendships have come out of 314. In fact, Amado had previously only hung out with Isaac and Paulina for a max of 6 hours. Then, all three of them made the trek out to the midwest. We have so much fun together that we often forget that there is a rather large age discrepancy between the youngest and oldest of us, but who really cares.

Anyways, after a series of jumping photos, we finally captured one off the shores of Lake Michigan.
Making up for the summer of school

The Tenants of 3-1-4

Searching for apartments in Berkeley is one of the most stressful ordeals. We were blessed with awesome roommates and eventually a great place to make our home. Once we were settled, the parties and friendships began. 3-1-4.
The Tenants of 3-1-4

The three roommates who made 3-1-4 what it was. Queen size bunk beds and dinner parties can sum up the year.

P.S. it is surprisingly difficult to find a picture of the three roommates together.
