It’s no coincidence that my Mami’s birthday is so close to International Women’s Day. Ana Victoria honors her strong, regal name daily by encouraging and supporting all the women around her to put themselves first, to be the masters of their destiny, to take advantage of every opportunity that women of her age were not given. Gracias Mami for being my #1 fan. For encouraging me to follow my dreams. For normalizing not loving to cook. Making sure I liked everything about myself. Teaching me that female friendships are crucial for survival. And for showing me that motherhood means unconditional love and support even if I don’t love cooking, kids birthday parties or arts and crafts. 😂 Feliz cumpleaños mami querida. Te adoro! #anabelaval #keepitreal #felizcumpleaños #mimama #happybirthday
