I first started taking the bus at the age of 17 to get to school. To get there I would have to wake up at 5 am ...

I recently gave birth to my son 5 months ago, and still it feels like it was just yesterday. And honestly, since then I’ve been a mess. As moms, we tend to put ourselves at the back of the line for just about everything. I know I sometimes manage to forget or just not have enough time to sit down and eat a proper meal or enjoy a refreshing drink. Hydration is the most important way to keep ...

Now that school has started I have less time to sit and eat with my daughter to talk and enjoy breakfast or lunch together. When she comes home she eats dinner and then starts on her homework, leaving little time to enjoy those moments. Which is why I cherish and look forward to weekends. Growing up my parents worked so much, I can only remember Sunday mornings as the only day where all the famili ...

How many times have you heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? It’s true, not only does it help you stay focused throughout the day but it also helps in accomplishing those New Years resolutions we make every year about losing a few pounds. Now more than ever I need to make sure I eat a complete and balanced breakfast that will fill me up and keep me going, as my little ...

Every morning when I wake up the first thing I think about is my cafecito, that little cup of Joe we all need to pick us up and get our day off to a great start. From getting the kids ready and off to school to braving the traffic into work, a cafecito is all I need to make my day special. I usually heat up my water and pop open my NESCAFÉ Clásico, the aroma I get as I’m preparing my daily c ...

Recently we got the opportunity to visit Kriser’s Natural Pet, as a pet owner, I am somewhat disappointed to have never even known about Kriser’s or how close it is to my neighborhood. I’ve always had pets in my home since I was a child so I was very excited to explore this new place. I really wanted to take our 5-month-old German Shepherd, Eliza out for an adventure but she tend ...

The first few times I thought about having children and speaking to them in English, I had the main ideas clear and very few doubts. It seemed to me that it made sense, that it was interesting and that, just as I talk to my students or to other people in English, I would do it with my son. All the questions and doubts came when I started. I had my son in my arms and I was going to start speaking t ...

This Christmas we have been traveling around the North and East of Switzerland. How beautiful everything was! And how cold! One of the days we visited Zurich and we used the opportunity to meet some Swiss friends who live there. We had a great time. It always feels good to spend some time chatting with people with whom you share things. In addition, we introduced our son to them, as they didnt kno ...

My friend Isabel gave my son this book as a new baby gift, when he was just two months old.  He couldnt use it at that moment as he was too little, but soon after, when he was five months, I gave it to him for the first time. He loved it from the very first moment. It is called Pet Tails by Anne Wilkinson and the publisher is Little Jellycat. It is a fabric book but we could consider it as a toy. ...

So now that winter has officially started, comes the time when we look for other fun activities to do indoors. One of my favorite ways of spending time with the kids is at the movies, in fact we were out at the movie theater just last weekend. I always let the kids choose a movie because I enjoy watching animated movies, it’s a moment where I get to forget about everything going on in the re ...
