LOVE BEGINS AT HOME- CHRISTMAS 2017 RECAP

With the holidays that just ended (sadly) and my busy days lately since the kids have been on Christmas break our schedule has been all over the place. And I never got time to share some of my favorite spots in our home during this Holiday time. As a matter of fact it is almost January 6 and my decor and tree are still up. And if I am being 100% honest I plan to keep it that way until the end of this weekend. If I could I would go all month like this. But I know I can’t let that happen. So for the moment here are a few photos I captured this past month.

I feel like the holidays came and went so fast but the memories we made will last forever. Movies by the fireplace snuggled on the couch, had pizza maybe two times out of the week, and Chick Fil A for breakfast every morning, lots of arroz con leche and tres leches cakes and ending with that late night wrapping of course a day before Christmas for the third year in a row. Funny how we wait all year for this magical time and in a matter of weeks it ends so quickly.


 

And since this mom failed at Family Holiday photos this year since all 3 kids were sick all month. Well lets just leave this family photo here and call it a day.

  • With Memorial Day Weekend coming up soon and summer quickly approaching, we are ready to hit the road again. #NationalRoadTripDay is May 24 and it’s also the day we start our Texas travel once again. We are heading to our annual spot for the boys birthdays- San Antonio! Recently, we discovered @pilotflyingj released a brand new mobile app that has helped us so much! With it you can sign up for free and find a Pilot or Flying J location near you. It has helped us plan our road trip route and save money along the way. Check out my stories for more plus a link to save more using the code ROADTRIP through 5/27. And come tell me of any road trip plans coming up for you & your family. #PilotFlyingJPartner #roadtrip #memorialdayweekend
  • I have [5] more days for my BOYS BIRTHDAYS// RYAN turns [9] and LUKE turns [4], the birthday countdown begins now. #ryanandlukesbirthdaycelebration// #oshkoshkids @oshkoshkids
  • My arms are full, my to do list is long, my laundry pile is two rooms high, my days feel short but my nights feel long yet my heart is bursting BIG for these people I call MINE. I know as moms we tend to complain a lot everyday- but remember there’s a purpose in what we do. #motherhoodunplugged // #oldnavy @oldnavy
  • Starting a fresh new week with some @cafebustelo. Much needed coffee after staying up way too late last night watching Game of Thrones. Please tell me I’m not the only one disappointed with how everything went down 😳🤯 what did you guys think? #cafebustelo
  • "The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." It's been over 9 years that I get to celebrate this gift of being called a "mother" & another special year with all three of my babies. I just can't stop thanking god for all my blessings // Happy Mother's Day to all those selfless sacrificing mothers out there, today and everyday is YOUR DAY 💐 #mothersday
  • Today is a special day for our family as Luke gets baptized. May God, who loves us all, smile upon my son, so innocent and small and guide him throughout the years ahead as blessings light the pathway were those tiny feet are led. I am so grateful to be able to have the privilege to baptize Luke in the same church ⛪️ my siblings and I grew up in and did our holy sacraments, the same church Ryan and Elyse were baptized. I am a truly blessed I get to do it along side my childhood best friend who also grew up here. We couldn’t had chosen better God parents for Luke. May God always protect him and keep him healthy and safe. 🌿🕊 #baptism
  • Waiting to post these photos until Mother’s Day was just so hard. So how about I just post one EVERYDAY. Looking at this photo makes me want to cry because my babies are no longer babies. They are so big now. And I know us moms say it every time but can time just stop and slow down. #mothersday
  • Mother’s Day is this Sunday and Elyse and I have already picked out our @amgreetings Mother’s Day cards at @walmart for both of her grandmas. I made sure to personally pick one out for my mother & another for my MIL and what I was so happy to see is they also had a special selection just in Spanish. To me that made it even more personal, knowing they will fully be able to read how important they are to us & how grateful we are to have them in our lives. Now that I’m grown, I realize I don’t just feel gratitude for my own mother—but admiration too. Who are you sending Mother’s Day cards too? Do you go for the sentimental ones or a funny card? I am all about the tears 😭 every single year. #sponsored #AmericanGreetings #AGMothersDay #LoveThemTellThem #MothersDay
