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!

  • I have this problem where I want to move everywhere we vacation to, but with 🌴San Diego, it’s actually REAL!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
  • Paradise FOUND!🌴
  • 🌈Something that never even crossed my mind until Micaela was around six months pregnant was what the kids were going to call us. I just always assumed that we would be a collective “mama.” It wasn’t until our friends brought it up to us that I gave it some thought and realized why that might be confusing- for everyone!🤔 Realizing it would benefit ALL of us to have some differentiation, we decided to pick names. I’m mama🙋🏼‍♀️ and Micaela is mommy🙋🏻‍♀️ Of course the kids may come up with their own nicknames for us as they get older, but for now mama and mommy seem to work really well!💕Sometimes they stop mid word to think who they want to address “Maa..............mmy” and it always makes me giggle! Honestly, WE probably get it wrong more often than they do! Have you ever thought about what you want your future kids to call you? And if you already have babies, what do your kids call you?! 🦒Diaper Cred: @get.dyper
  • This time next week we will be leaving this beautiful Bay and heading to☀️San Diego!🌴 Seriously cannot wait to soak in all that Vitamin Sea🌊 For those of you who have been to San Diego, what were favorite things to do?! Im finalizing our itinerary and want to make sure we aren’t missing anything!🏖Bonus points for vegan food recs and date night ideas!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
  • I have to say, we’ll use any excuse to get matching PJs! They are one of my favorite holiday traditions and with Easter coming up you know we had to jump on these! Ha! Get it?!🐰Is there an age when matching PJs stop being fun for the kids? Because honestly I’m banking on 3 sixteen year olds who still loving matching with their moms🥰 . 🐰PJs: @happyhannas
  • I have lived in the Bay Area for over 15 years and until two weeks I had never been on a cable car! 🚃 I’m not sure how that was even possible, but let me tell you, standing on the front edge while cruising the hills of SF did not disappoint! ____ Earlier this month I spent an weekend in SF at @hotelspero in the name of self-care🌿 I did a sound bath meditation🧘🏻‍♀️, soaked at a Japanese bathhouse🧖🏻‍♀️ and left the weekend feeling TOTALLY rejuvenated. Obviously, self-care doesn’t always look like this for me. In fact, sometimes it’s totally unconventional for me🎡☀️🍁🐶🏔🤸🏻‍♀️! But regardless of how you choose to practice it, one thing is for sure, self-care is the come up we have ALL been needing! ____ So what’s YOUR favorite way to recharge?! I’d love to hear about all your favorite self-care routines! Are you more of a traditionalist🧖🏻‍♀️ or do you thrive off the unconventional ways to practice self-care? Let me know in the comments below!👇🏼
  • 🌈 A little throwback to that one, very brief moment in time, when we were a family of three and had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into! 🤪
  • CONFESSION TIME: We don’t own a dinner table 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ok I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out! We used to have a table and chairs but it was just taking up too much space in our small apartment- so we sold it a few months back! 😂 Now we just eat🌴outside picnic style or we sit with the kids at their little table. I’m sure we will get another table one day when we have a little more space but for now, I’m loving all this extra room and eating our meals in a less conventional way! 🥗🥙 I’m also loving these delicious meals from @hellofresh! They have been SUPER easy to make and they take the guess work out of dinner time. Plus even my picky eater (not naming any names!) has tried what I’ve made! HelloFresh for the win! Right now they are offering $80 off your first box using code: RAFFINEE80 at checkout 👆🏼Link in bio! And who needs tables anyway?! 😜 #freshfriends #hellofreshpics #getcooking
  • Monday’s are fine, but cozy Sunday mornings in bed with this crew will forever be my favorite! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
