It has now become tradition for Women’s History Month that my mom (@jacquidavishair ), sister (@d2dfocus ) and I do a shoot to honor women that we love and appreciate. This year we decided to honor one of the GOATs, and my personal shero, Selena Quintanilla 💛
.
Referred to as the "Queen of Tejano music", Selena’s contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. She‘s won 14 Billboard Latin Music awards, 2 Grammys and 36 Tejano Music Awards- along with a long list of others. She was kind, ambitious, had a wonderful heart and was known for her big, joyful smile☺️ If you know about Selena you know how her life tragically ended at the peak of her career. Yet her legacy and influence still lives on and empowers women every day.
.
This shoot might just be one of my favorite shoots I’ve ever done. And it holds a special place in my heart because I’m half Mexican so to be able to honor such an amazing Mexican woman makes my heart really really happy❤️ So what do y’all think? How did we do? Next week I’ll show y’all the behind the scenes of the whole shoot 🙂

Ashton Update! New level unlocked- SIGHT WORDS!
.
I have been trying to find something that would help Ashton with reading and sight words since phonics are proving to be a little tricky for him. I bought all the flash cards, the apps and games and nothing stuck. The only words he can identify with no problem are the names of all the animals (he’s obsessed with animals🦁). Then one day I walked into this little learning store I randomly saw and the woman suggested I try the game Zingo. It’s essentially bingo but you have to cover the whole board and you can’t grab a chip unless you say the word on the chip out loud. Initially I thought this game might be a little too advanced for Ashton but she said it always produced great results so I decided to give it a go.
.
The first time we played went just like all the other activities- he was hardly interested. But then one day we discovered the animal filters on IG, and since Ashton is obsessed with animals I decided to broker a deal with him. Each round of Zingo you play, you get to use 3 animal filters on my phone. He agreed and we got to work.
.
The first 6 weeks he just kinda stared at the word and repeated them after I said them. He quickly understood how to match the chips to the words on his board but actually identifying and saying the words was tricky for him. But what I’ve learned on this journey with Ashton is that even when he seems like he’s not taking something in, as long as I can get him to sit there with no outside distractions, his brain is still soaking up the information. Just takes him a little while to communicate that information back to me. So I just kept going.
.
For the past 2 1/2 months, 3-4 days a week Ashton and I play Zingo. So on average about 15 minutes of playing. 2 weeks ago he finally started identifying words. It was only about 5-6 words. Fast forward to yesterday, Ashton identified 28 words on his own🙌🏽 I am so damn proud of him!

#Ad #Vickspartner With all the craziness going on in the world right now, it’s hard to remember that we’re in the middle of our usual cold season. So when my honey shows any sign of sniffles or a cough, I reach for a little honey!

It’s free of high fructose syrup, alcohol, aspirin, and acetaminophen. The best part is that it’s made with real honey so you don’t have to worry about wrestling your busy bee just to get them to take their medicine because it tastes great! Be sure to pick up your own set at your favorite local retailer. How do you care for your honey?

Happy birthday, Ashton! I can’t believe today my bubbie, shugie bear, love dumplin is 5 years old!
.
Ashton’s current obsession is spelling things. He wants to know how to spell EVERYTHING and asks everyone to spell with him. So what better way to celebrate his birthday than with his very own spelling bee! I made him a little stage, gave everyone a little plastic microphone and we got to spelling!
.
Ashton and his two cousins each had words set out for their age group and then he decided to show off at the end by spelling one of his favorite movies The Addams Family! It was so much fun and Ashton had the best time💛

Can we take a second to talk about mom guilt?😩
.
These past couple weeks have been pretty hectic for me. It’s been a mixture of a lot of work, a long a$$ to do list of mundane errands (adulting sucks 😩) and then some really tough days in motherhood. Drained is an understatement. So today, since I have a tiny break from the boys, I cleared my schedule, decided not to do any adulting and instead do absolutely nothing. My plan was to sit in my pajamas, binge watch a show and get something delicious delivered. It was going to be amazing.
.
One hour into my amazing chillax day- guilt creeped in. How selfish of you to actually enjoy this time without your kids… You have kids so there is no time to be lazy- you have to provide for them!… You have a business now- there are NO days off!… I know you see that big ass pile of laundry sitting there… How dare you ignore that to-do list…
.
I sat there with these thoughts taunting me for a good hour. And just when I started to get dressed for the day cause I was convinced I needed to abandon my lazy day, I gave myself a mental slap in the face. B&$@h you are no good to anyone if you’re running on fumes! Rest isn’t a luxury- it’s a necessity. And you aren’t getting a enough of it. You not only need this day to yourself, you deserve it. So I pushed those thoughts out of my head, got back under the covers and ordered myself some sushi🙌🏽 And I’m so damn happy I did.
.
The moment you become a mom, you’re overcome with this pressure to be everything for everyone all at the same time. And we just keep pushing and pushing ourselves, no matter how drained, because if we don’t we’re fearful that something will fail and we’ll be deemed a “bad mom”. It’s time that we start giving ourselves the grace we deserve. How can we be everything for everyone else but leave nothing for ourselves? It’s not an exaggeration when mothers are compared to superheroes cause we really are. But even superheroes deserve a day-off❤️

I hope you all love the episode just as much as I loved being a guest❤️ Click the link in my bio to take a listen!

I have always made all of the cakes for my boys birthdays even though I absolutely hate making cakes 😩 I used to have a cake business that was thriving and had tons of clients but I hated making cakes so much that I just up and quit one day😩 But every year for my kids bdays, I start rolling my eyes and stomping my feet because I know it’s time to dust off the ol’ spatula and get to work😩 The only cake I was ever genuinely excited about, and to this day remains my favorite cake I’ve ever made, is CJ’s Wall-E cake I made for his 2nd birthday. It took me 3 days and sleepless nights but it’s still my most proud culinary creation of all time🙌🏽
.
Well this year, due to the pandemic, I’ve decided to keep it low key and make just a few cupcakes to celebrate Ashton’s bday. I mean there is no sense in making a whole cake just for a few people, right?! Can you tell how excited I am?!😂 I can’t wait for you all to see the theme! But in the meantime, enjoy all of the cakes I’ve made for Ashton and a few that I made for CJ (before influencing, I was terrible at remembering to take pictures 😩). Can you tell which ones were taken professionally and which were taken with a flip phone?😂😂😂😂

Oh the struggle we have endured to get Ashton to the point where he actually lets us brush his teeth. This year, it is my goal to put his oral care first as tooth brushing is one of his biggest and only sensory issues. We’ve had lots of tears, temper tantrums and chasing him down the hall just to get a couple scrubs in before he dashes off again! But this year, we finally figured out the trick so we don’t have to wrestle Ashton to clean his chompers. All it takes is a little family time and @quip, a “big boy” toothbrush #quipPartner
.
Like most little bros, they wanna be just like their older siblings. And Ashton is obsessed with his and copies everything they do! So I got Ashton a #quip Kids Smart Electric Toothbrush that looks JUST like the adult brushes (just smaller for little mouths) and asked CJ to start brushing his teeth with us so Ashton can mimic what he does. And it actually worked! We’ve finally got an oral health routine that is easy, fun and (most importantly) EFFICIENT since the @quip app allows me to track Ashton's brushing behaviors and track good habits.
.
So if you want to add @quip to your or your kids' self-care routine this New Year, you can get $10 off your first Smart Electric Toothbrush using code KATRYCE at http://getquip.com/katryce.

I have been in tears on and off all morning about this. Ashton has grown so much and reached so many milestones but this right here has touched me more than anything. For the first time Ashton is finally showing sympathy for others. This is something many doctors and therapists told me would never happen. My heart is so full right now❤️ PS. Someone please get Spielberg or Oprah on the line because my acting skills are top notch😂

Just sprinkling a little Sunday cuteness on your timeline today🥰
I can’t believe that in two weeks my baby will be 5 years old and no longer a toddler😩 He’s gonna be a big boy 😢😢😢 I still haven’t figured out how we’re gonna celebrate. But this year is especially important because he’s actually starting to understand what a birthday is and is getting excited about his😩 Any pandemic friendly birthday ideas for y’all insta-nephew?!?!
.
I don’t know how she does it but @d2dfocus always gets GQ poses out of Ashton 😂 She’s the GOAT🙌🏽

Merry Christmas from my boys and I! Please enjoy this caption that I 100% stole from @d2dfocus because it perfectly summed up our Christmas tradition and I was too lazy to do my own 😂 📸: @d2dfocus

Merry Christmas from my family! This is my absolute #1 favorite day of the year!!!
.
In Mexican tradition, we have our big Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve aka Noche Buena. My mom, sisters and I and all of our little families go to church, have a big dinner (and drinks), kids always do a little impromptu dance performance, we give them their first gift which is our matching Christmas PJS and then we send them to bed to wait for Santa. Meanwhile, the adults indulge in more drinks (and more guacamole🥑) and we sit around and play games until midnight when Santa drops off the gifts and we run to wake up the kids. That’s right! They open gifts at midnight, not in the morning.
.
Is it a huge cluster $&@!? Yes! Would I ever change it? Absolutely not!
.
Thanks @bonnielove_d 🙌🏽 That caption was perfect! 😂😂😂😂😂

Happy Sunday from me and these two goofs aka the loves of my life ❤️ 📸: @d2dfocus
.
For many, this is just the most weekend before Christmas but to moms, this is go time. We gotta Christmas shop, wrap gifts, plan out menus, do corny Christmas stuff with the kids, make gingerbread houses- all that. And if you’re in the DMV, it’s very likely that your kids will now be unexpectedly home with you this week so the little time you thought you had to yourself to prepare has now been cut even shorter😩 God speed to all my fellow mommas this is week. We got this!🙈😩🥴
.
Have y’all finished Christmas shopping or did you decide to just do gift cards this week? I pretty much Amazon’d everything 😂
