My little man loves books. We went to an aquarium once (and were were in an area surrounded by all interesting tanks filled with colorful fishes), and he found himself a little nook where there were a stack of books and sat on the floor and happily read them. He also loves reading time at […]

scenes from the weekend / 2

I told myself that this year I will take more pictures and to use my big DSLR camera more often. Since it’s digital, I can take as much as I want and can delete them if I want to. So I clicked away and on Sunday night, I found 200+ new pictures on my camera, […]

Monday Blues

Summer is here, or at least that’s how it feels like the last few days. The weather is so beautiful today, and because I am working on a holiday, I feel like am missing out. I should be outside having a picnic or frolicking at the beach. I had a very fun weekend hiking at […]

Greek yogurt is a tasty and popular food at my house. Besides being tasty and creamy, even when fat-free, Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt. It is full of calcium and often low in calories and fat. I like Chobani yogurts because they offer a variety of flavors and they taste great. The […]

Cooling Down & Trader Joe’s Loot

I woke up bright and early today excited to run at the park. The mornings have cooled down a little so it is actually nice to run outside without the scorching heat that I had to battle during the summer months. 4 Mile run = 3 mile jog and 1 mile alternating (1 min walk/1 […]

Me, my mom and my two sisters left our hotel early in the morning to board the first boat out to the wedding venue. We arrived at the wedding venue at Las Caletas after forty-five minutes on the boat. We were immediately escorted to the bridal casita, where we relaxed until it was time to get […]
