Struggles with Prioritization

By Marlon Gutierrez on May 23, 2017February 17, 2020

Parenting is hard. There’s no doubt about it. It’s just one aspect of many people’s lives but for being the tiny specs we humans are in the grandeur of the universe, the responsibility of parenting makes us feel much larger.

By Marlon Gutierrez on April 19, 2017February 17, 2020

Given the success of our Atlanta trip, Stef and I took Isabella to her first adventure on a plane!

Okay, I don’t have any video proving it—but my wife and I are pretty sure Isabella said her first words. It’s not supposed to happen yet, but do I look like the guy that will let society tell him what is and what is not possible!? Since she turned 2 months, she discovered her voice.
