Hi, we’re Los Hicksons!
We thought the name of this site would be a fun way to represent our family heritage - which is a mix of my husband’s Miami roots, and Irish/ Scottish/ Southern cultures along with my Puerto Rican and Cuban roots.
A little bit about us... The condensed version is that, we met in 2006 through mutual friends at FIU in Miami, FL (Go Panthers!), fell in looooooove, got married in 2007, and then moved to the Big Apple in 2009! Living in NYC, away from our families, inspired us to start this blog. It's been such a great way for our loved ones to get a better glimpse of what we are up to.
In July 2014 (after 19 months of hoping and praying) we found out we were expecting a baby! Due to unknown reasons, I went into pre-term labor at 23 weeks and 5 days. During what was easily, the scariest, most uncertain time of our lives, Rob started sending email updates to family to keep everyone informed of what was happening which expanded the blog. Our fierce little Lucie, was born as a micro preemie when I was 24 weeks and 1 day pregnant, and with that, more and more people wanted to know how things were going during her long NICU journey.
We welcomed our second daughter, Felicity, born at 30 weeks, in 2019. In the summer of 2020 in the midst of Covid, after 11 years of living in NYC we moved back to Miami, FL. We continue to share stories, pictures, and memories on this blog. The latest posts are below, but have fun going through the archives too.

Over the past 24 months, we have gone through several changes in our family. I have posted some, but have wanted to write a little bit more about all of it and now that I have, it has probably turned into one of the longest posts I’ve ever written…
