About Me

Hey There! My name is Raffinee, but most people call me Raff. My wife, Micaela and I are Bay Area locals and mom to three toddlers born 7.5 months apart. Want to know more? Just ask!

  • #ad ⛺️Who says you can’t have the best parts of Summer year-round?! Thanks to the @fisherprice S’more Fun Campfire, we can relive when the kids had their first s’mores (vegan ones of course!)!! Lola took after her mama and wanted seconds🙊, Luca just ate the graham cracker and chocolate🍫and smeared the marshmallow EVERYWHERE, and Mateo took one bite, thought it was “yucky” but wanted to continue to make as many s’mores as possible. Good thing he had Lola and I around 😋This toy will get a lot of use as Mateo continues to mass produce s’mores😉Did you make memories around a campfire🔥this Summer?! Check out the Amazon link in my bio to learn more! #fisherprice #pretendplay
  • 🌈Our reaction when people ask if our kids feel sad about not growing up with a father. It’s about love NOT gender people!! 💞 BUT I’d love to open up a dialogue about any curiosities, fears, or questions anyone may have about raising children in a two mom household. No judgment here, just want to create a space for anyone to ask questions openly! So let’s talk away about LGBTQ+ parenting in this comment thread!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
  • 🌈We bought 15 vials of our donors sperm-15!! It was important to us that our children shared a sperm donor and we had no idea how many vials we would need- since we BOTH had the desire to carry👦🏻🧒🏼👧🏼 It took us a few months to settle on a donor, so when we finally did, we wanted to make sure we didn’t run out. In addition, we had no idea if we were going to end up doing IVF or IUI- which can also determine the number of vials you need. In the end, Micaela went through four vials and I used five! Maybe we went overboard on buying 15 but you never know! How many vials did you guys buy?! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 . 📸: @malloryullman
  • #brandpartner There isn’t much Luca slows down for these days- but he will stop for fries 🍟 Which is just long enough for me to get a @bandaidbrand over his ouchie. Thankfully Band-Aids can keep up with him and stay put- even after getting in and out of the pool 16524 times🤪 Because lets be real, not even a poolside ouchie is going to keep this little man still! Plus, we love using a brand that, through #CareWithPride, has helped donate over $1 million to 🌈LGBTQ+ nonprofits across the country. Oh and good luck getting more of those fries Luca😉
  • 🌈Just your weekly reminder that love is what makes a family! Oh. And they are all my REAL kids. All three of them ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
  • #ad All our kids know that mommy is a surgeon👩🏻‍⚕️ But what they don’t know is that she is taking up space in a role traditionally occupied by men. They don’t know that she has risen above challenges as a Latina surgeon. And they don’t know that she is changing opinions of our 🌈LGBTQ+ community. No, they just know that when mommy goes to work, that she “helps people!” And for now-that’s perfect🤗 With the @fisherprice Patient and Doctor Kit the kids have LOVED learning more about what Mommy does at work in a way they can understand. Explaining it all through play has been such a fun and interactive way to show them! And who better to learn from than the pro?! ♥️ Check out the Amazon link in my bio to learn more! #fisherprice #pretendplay
  • 🌈How do you know when you’ve found THE ONE? 👰🏻♥️👰🏻 You know when you can fully trust their intentions. You know when you can express your feelings without judgement. You know when you WANT to put their needs/ wants before your own (most of the time🤭). You know when your opinions feel valued, even if they are different. Do we fight? Of course. Do we have some rough days? Absolutely. Do we agree on everything? HELL NO! Do I get frustrated with her? Do I ever! 😂 But even through our differences, we grow. We communicate and we find a solution. Ultimately, we’ve helped each other become better versions of ourselves through our love💗 Trust me. When you find the one 🦄 you will KNOW♥️🧡💛💚💙💜
  • Since I broke my foot, Micaela has taken over making the meals and thanks to @purplecarrotxo she is crushing it! #ad 🌱Purple Carrot has long been our favorite meal delivery service because every meal is literally a 10/10! 🙌🏼 Micaela and I always say we feel like we are eating at a restaurant when we cook their meals because they are THAT good!😋 Now they are offering meals that serve 6! Perfect for families or those who just want to meal prep for the week.
