1. I’m originally from a small town in southern California (La Verne) and lived in Los Angeles for 3 years before moving to Arizona. I lived in Arizona for 3 years and recently moved back to SoCal.\u00a0<\/p>

2. I’m the oldest of 2 sisters, Rebecca and Sarah, and a brother, Manny, who passed away 11 years ago from a compromised immune system.<\/span><\/p>

3. My blog, Manny and Mo, is named after my brother and my nickname Mo (only my immediate family uses it). I started my blog 11 years ago as a way to keep a diary of my life, and as a tribute to my brother.\u00a0<\/p>

4. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Chase. We’ve been together for 9 years and married for almost 4 years. We grew up in the same city and knew of each other, but didn’t hang out until we were in college.\u00a0<\/p>

5. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I was a pediatric nurse for 5 years before I left my job to become a full time content creator. I worked on the Cardiac unit in Los Angeles and the Rehab unit in Phoenix.\u00a0<\/p>

6. My favorite city is New York. I’ve always wanted to live there and hope to someday. Before the pandemic, I was visiting at least once a year. I recently just visited for my 30th birthday!\u00a0<\/p>

7. I’ve been a pescatarian for 11 years.\u00a0<\/p>

8.I’ve traveled to 9 countries and 27 states.<\/p>

9. I hiked Mt. Whitney (the tallest peak in the continental US).\u00a0<\/p>

10. I’ve driven across the United States 4 times.\u00a0<\/p>

11. I grew up in the mountains until I was 8 years old.\u00a0<\/p>

12. I was homeschooled for 1 year (2nd grade).\u00a0<\/p>

13. My favorite food is sushi and my favorite cocktail is a gin and soda or espresso martini (with gin of course).<\/p>

14. I took piano lessons for 8 years.\u00a0<\/p>

15. I ran a half marathon last March.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
