The Busy Life Plus Three

A Latina lifestyle blog for the modern mom

  • Blurry photos but it’ll do because we had such a fun family night. We were hosted to an early screening of #ToyStory4 & it was amazing. We all laughed from beginning to end. Luke was the happiest throughout the whole entire movie and he did not move not once. Can’t believe when the first movie came out I was 5 years old and now here I am bringing my 3 kids to watch an all time fav childhood movie. 🎥 🍿 you are going to love it and might find yourself with a few tears at the end (you’ve been warned) // in theaters June 21st. #disneyfamilia @toystory @shopdisney
  • When jumpsuits don’t work with your ‘mom bod’ but somehow I’m trying to make it work this summer. I think this is one of the many reasons of why I hate summer. I’ll rather stay cover all year long. Now I am definitely not one who speaks body positivity because I’m guilty myself of feeling ashamed of my own body after kids. Of not loving my own skin and feeling stuck in a nasty rut lately. I was going back to old photos after having Ryan and Elyse and admiring how much dedicated I was to working out and loosing the baby weight that I was so confused as to what went wrong now. I been comparing myself to others, being negative, and feeling ashamed to be honest. I started thinking the only one who can limit you is YOU. The key to overcome a rut is to be your best friend, not your worst enemy. Today I started to change my mind set. I might not look like how I want or desire but I will remind myself it’s a process and it starts one day at a time. Of course I wish this baby weight (better yet fat) came off immediately but today I did the first step by starting to break those bad habits. #bodypositive
  • Happy Father’s Day to every single amazing dad out there, especially my dad and my husband. My children and I are so blessed to have amazing men in our lives that love us, look after us, and protect us in every way possible. Here’s a few throwback photos on the first day @gortega18 became a dad with all 3 kids. Taking it back all the way to [2010] that proud smile is everything and more I wanted, we were so young with no clue on parenthood but look at us WE MADE IT! I’ll say it again; the only thing that makes me happier than having you as my husband is that our kids have you as their dad. Happy Father's Day! Enjoy your day relaxing and playing Fortnite, trying my best not to bother you today 😜 We love you! ❤️ #fathersday
  • With summer break and kids at home I haven’t had time for anything. Mostly the day revolves me breaking up fights between these three and making time to empty out our bedroom upstairs and finding myself in the kitchen all day to feed these little monsters. In the meantime here’s a few more gems for SA. I plan to finally have my post live this weekend. // Again thank you to @visitsanantonio @thedoseum @seaworldtexas @aquaticasanantonio @ldcsanantonio @tre_trattoria @mitierracafesa for making this trip incredible. #visitsanantonio
  • This was Luke this week just wondering when his big brother Ryan will come back home. I think he missed him the most but good news is Ryan just got back home last night. While he and Elyse were gone Luke was our only child and he took over our bed once again (posting photos on my stories so you can see the kind of tiny boss I had to deal with 😂) If you been following along you probably watched my stories last week where we started shopping for our new bedroom set (saved on my HOME highlights) and I’m sharing some big news with you all on Friday. This beautiful king mattress from @tempurpedic will finally be in our master bedroom soon (right now it’s taking up space in my corner office 😅) I seriously cannot say enough about this brand new TEMPUR-breeze° except that you need it this summer! Sleeping cool all night long has been something I’ve been missing out on all these years and I didn’t even know it. The amount of softness... THE BEST FEELING! I just couldn’t imagine sleeping anywhere else now. I even have Luke sleeping in after 8AM and that never ever happens EVER! // #ad #tempurpedic #tempurBreeze
  • When you find a skirt that’s long enough to hide your legs you take it. This look right under $30 at @burkesoutlet // #burkesoutlet #bfinding #ad
  • #ad This weekend we got to visit the new Burkes Outlet store that just opened in the Maplewood Shopping Center. Of course my first stop would be straight to the home decor section because that’s what I live for. We have so many rooms we want to work on in our home. I have my dining room I am not finished with and not mention I have a big bedroom makeover in the works for this summer. So I’ll take all the greenery plants & wall decor I can get. . 📍5635 Beechnut St @burkesoutlet #bfinding #burkesoutlet #homedecor #homestyle
