December arrives with cool crisp air, glowing lights, and a gentle reminder to slow down and savor the moments that truly matter. This month is filled with family traditions, reconnecting with loved ones, cozy experiences, and our annual Disneyland trip for Asher’s birthday. From holiday celebrations to twinkling lights, warm drinks, and meaningful memories, December at Mermaid Kove is all about love, connection, and the magic woven into everyday life.

November is that thankful, blessed, and kind of a mess kind of month — filled with family, Filipino traditions, veterans we honor, too much food, and camping adventures to celebrate Jray.

In that cold hospital room, time stood still. The smell of bleach, the hum of machines, the words I never wanted to hear — “There’s no heartbeat.” That moment changed everything. It’s a piece from one of the books I’ve been writing, but it’s also my truth — the story of the Minnows I never got to raise. As we honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on October 15th, I hold space for every parent who’s loved and lost. 💜
