Inspired by Familia

When my little one was first born, I had a hard time finding a balance with my style and the fact that I had a little one cruising the house.  I new there were things I needed to put away that were possible dangers but I also didn’t want to get rid of my pretty living […]

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with LUBRIDERM and Latina Bloggers Connect. My first race with my son was absolutely one of the many special moments we’ve had together since he was born. It was such a neat time for me to cheer him on and to cross the finish line together. We started […]

Weekday dinners is the place where we catch up, play and laugh.  And for some odd reason always spill a drink. It’s inevitable someone ALWAYS spills a drink during our weekday dinner.  Anyways, our boys are into riddles and fun facts so I thought I would come up with this fun Presidential Family Dinner Fun […]

Go deeper–is my mantra this year.  This year I wanted to focus a bit more on the depth of God’s love for us and help my kids make a deeper connection to that by being a vessel of it.  Obviously, this is something I should and try to do all year but this week I […]

Yay! You dont’ know how excited I am that I finally get to share with you our playroom. I started back in October but was overwhelmed with the task and it was left unfinished until now.  It’s also our homeschool space so I’ve been itching to get this project DONE. I spent yesterday, morning, afternoon […]

Valentine’s day can easily get boxed into a romantic holiday but it’s so much more then that and I want my little men to have that message grounded in them while they are young.  Maybe when they become teens they will choose to ignore it but it will hopefully be embedded in their hearts and […]

I’ve always enjoyed giving my husband homemade Valentine’s Day card.  But when I came up with this idea one year when my first born was little I decided this would be our new tradition. With this tradition your kids will end up with keepsakes of your love for each other, a book, and your spouse […]

One of the traditions we started two years ago was a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt that would lead them to their Valentine’s day book (I share here about this tradition) and treat.  It’s really easy to put together and your kids will enjoy it! You can also modify this activity for an adult Valentine’s Day […]

We are kicking off our 30 Days of Play Challenge this week by featuring 10 Fun Kid Activities plus a BUNCH more at the end of this post! I’m so excited to get started on this, as this is something I’ve been needing to do for myself, my kids and I even think it will […]

I recently had a wonderful mother and friend  share that she’s been ignoring this deep calling from within her soul to play. To play with her kids. She proceeded to share with us as she paused in between words, the tears rolled down those tired but hopeful eyes and each word spilled forth from deep within her longing soul. […]

For the past 12 days since 1st of January hit, a little soft voice kept nagging at me saying, “Get organized woman!”  Though I used the word “nagging” don’t get me wrong I LOVE the smell of fresh white clean calendar pages!   I love the idea of a fresh new start and though it’s not the 1st of […]

Our family wants to wish you a Feliz Navidad! You want to know why I love Christmas? Well, I love all things Christmas, family and friend gatherings, Christmas tree lightings, Christmas baking (that we are doing today), the joy that fills our community, Christmas carols, our Christmas advent activities…. But what I love the most […]

Though it’s hard to be away from our extended family during the holidays, it definitely has pushed me to come up with some of our own little family traditions.  And now my two oldest, excitedly expect certain activities around the holidays. When I am running around exhausted and I look at my husband and say, “the things […]

  This month as we usher into the season of joy, service, gratitude, family and yummy food let’s take a few moments with our kids to instill a value that they will take them a long way in life: gratitude. Do you know of anyone who is constantly complaining? Who points out the negative in […]

Why 21 Days and not 28 or 30 days to complete the whole month? Well, because I realize that we are busy people with busy lives and instead of beating yourself up for missing a day I’ve built in those “we just couldn’t get to it” days for you.  If you missed what this is all about […]

I was recently asked for my Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll recipe and I realized that my all time favorite cinnamon roll recipe is not on my blog. I can’t believe I haven’t shared this one with you.  My kids love helping make cinnamon rolls and if it was up to them we would make it every Saturday. It’s such […]

  I truly believe that gratitude can be contagious, so let’s shake off the whiney and grumpy mood we can get in.  And for the next 21 days, let’s become beauty seekers. Let’s train our  heart and mind to look for the beauty that surrounds us, the big and the small moments. The Tuten familia along […]
