In my daughters' eyes...

... I am a hero. I am strong and wise, and I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see. They were sent to rescue me. I see who I want to be, in my daughters' eyes...

The 4 loves of my life

There is a post I made from last May called "what is love"... It has a picture of my girls and my oldest nephew...  It's hard to get a picture that I like of all 4, and I LOVE this one. It was taken by my sister in law and I stole it from her Instragra. I wish the sun would not be on Gaby's face, but whenever I decide to print my blog, I will just remove it with Photoshop. It's amazing to see much they have changed in just 12 months.....

Mimi is really 7

Mimi is this amazing miniature version of a lady who turns 7 years old today. She has such a BIG mouth with such a tiny size. I never get tired of repeating how she excels in just about anything and everything! She never ever ceases to amaze me and I am very proud of her. I love you sooooooo much that it hurts!! Happy Birthday, little princess! For memory lane, here is a collage of her growing up. She's the only one of my girls that I can still...

Juicing mania

I have been wanting to get a juicer since the longest. When I discussed my diet with the nutritionist at the gym, I asked her to add some juices and promised her to get it ASAP. I did and I'm sooo happy!! My idea was to make a juice with whatever fruit and/or vegetable that she included on my diet, that I didn't include in any meals for that day. Plus, the ones she actually wrote as juices. I got a Hamilton Beach juicer that I found on sale. I...

Gaby's First Holy Communion

Today was a beautiful sunny day, and Gaby was thrilled because she was getting ready to receive her First Holy Communion. Not only she was getting the communion by a monsignor, but also she was getting it in the most beautiful church in the whole country... It's a minor basilica and also a cathedral: Basilica Catedral Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia. It was done during school hours, which means the whole school was present. The Basilica was full. We...

My dad and his granchildren

This is a BIG thing. As we don't live so close, my youngest nephew hardly ever sees my girls. Still he sees them some times. One thing that never happens is having my two nephews together. My dad wanted to have all his grandkids together and he came to visit us. The backyard is huge and they ran around like chickens without heads and had a blast! We hope to be able to get them together more frequently! After all, there is NOTHING more important...

Water Intake for Dummies

As part of my goals for weight loss and "health mama journey", I needed to adjust my water intake. My main problem is not that I don't like to drink water... I actually prefer to drink water over any other liquid.  My actual problem is that I FORGET to drink water. I get thirsty and I simply won't move to get water. Call it laziness or call it craziness, but it takes me a while to actually get up and get water. According to this calculator,...
