Happy Thanksgiving! :: Feliz Dia de Accion de Gracias!

My familia and I are very excited for the summer this year, the kids will be out from school and we will have more time to enjoy evenings and weekends out at the park for soccer practice and games. My husband’s two boys are now both on soccer teams after years of practice and training with my brothers, now they both get to show out on the field all they have learned. I’m just trying to ...

As a mom, I am always looking for ways to nourish her possibilities and help inspire my daughter to dream big. I always tell her she can grow up to be anything she wants, if she has a passion for it and is determined, she will achieve all of her dreams. Growing up, I had a group of very inspiring teachers who always taught us that it did not matter where we came from, all that mattered were our dr ...

How have you kicked off your 2016? Are you sticking to your New Year’s resolutions? I let go of making resolutions a few years ago and just stuck to doing my best, whether it’s to losing some pounds, making healthier choices, or being a little more confident with myself. Last week we ended off the year exercising and going to the park to run up and down the hill. I will confess I didn& ...

Don’t you feel summer break has flown by way too quick? I’m getting nostalgic just thinking about not having my little one’s company during the day. Over the summer I’ve seen her explore and grow, we’ve had good and bad moments. As I hear her play doctor with her baby cousin in the background I can honestly say I will miss these moments when she heads back to school. ...

Transitiniong my daughter from her cute pink potty to grown-up potty was not too fun or easy for her, she had grown to love her small potty and didn’t feel the need to transition to a grown up potty, or as we call it the toilet. The hardest part of the transition was getting her to clean herself with toilet paper instead of baby wipes she used. Thankfully I was able to convince her the toile ...

Howdy! So we are now on our second week of 2016, it’s finally time to get started on all those resolutions and goals we planned at the end of 2015. Have you started? I meant to have this post up yesterday (Monday), but as it was my first day, first time ever detoxing by body, I really felt terrible. I started off great in the morning as I always do as soon as I wake up is drink some water, a ...

Every morning I like to start my day off with a cup of coffee, who doesn’t?! I don’t care if it’s 40 or 90 degrees outside, I need my cafecito. Just the plain aroma of coffee gets me going, my mom is the culprit of my coffee addiction, you see when I was in high school she would drive me to school and every single day she would take her coffee to brave the traffic. To me, there ...

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 ...

One of the hardest stages in our children’s life has to be potty training. Every mom has her child’s own story and every child is indeed different as to what works for them and when they’re ready to finally say “Goodbye diapers, hello training pants!“ What worked for my daughter definitely has not worked for my niece, Eliana. She has had a hard time letting go of her ...
