The Pink Elephant explained

My name is Tiffany. I'm a new mom to a beautiful little girl named, Olivia Ashley. I have an obsession with all things pink (which is a color I never loved till I had my daughter), finding peace in balance, my new adventure that is motherhood, sharing stories, and elephants. I grew up in Miami, Florida where I inherited a giant family with 2 brothers, and too many cousins to keep count. My family, who established my foundation and what makes me, me, and my new family which includes my daughter, hubby, and the two cutest chihuahuas (ever). They are what is most important in my life. I can surely fill it up with "stuff" but it is the trips and special moments, that create these lasting memories and an imprint on my heart.

Where did the title, The Pink Elephant, stem from? Well, let me elaborate further: I have big plans for the name which will hopefully continue to flourish in 2013. However, Pink, represents my first born, my daughter Olivia. The color pink is often connected with the notion of romance and love. Furthermore, Olivia encompasses the gentle emotions of harmony, compassion, and friendship. It is demonstrated to be a color of good health and life. The elephant is interpreted as advice needed (if you know me, that sounds fitting), good luck, overcome obstacles, remembrance, strength, power, wisdom, and of course my late hero and grandfather. My heart and soul, my grandfather, once collected elephants. A collection I never understood until he passed away. Now the elephant has taken on new meanings for my family and I. It is a representation of him and our memories together.

I've had this blog for a few years now. It was once filled with superficial posts on make-yourself beauty products and things I loved. I always enjoyed reading other's tips and natural beauty fix-its. My life has taken a 360, however, and inherited new interests. Therefore, I've changed it's title and interests into my new quest and common interests with other mommies out there. Instead of eyeballing a girl's behind to see the latest jeans brand, I'm staring at her stroller, questioning why I got a Peg Perego vesus a Quinny. Forget the latest Tory Burch purse! I can't even imagine life without my Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. I've begun craving more and more trips to Disney than some downtime in Aspen. I shop more at Whole Foods than Publix, and fill my cart with fruits, veggies, and everything Earths Best. I can't even remember how life was before Olivia came into our lives and yet, that's okay. My days may be longer but they have more meaning than they've ever known. So follow me on my journey as I explore this crazy adventure called, motherhood. We can learn together, laugh together, and play.
