The Busy Life Plus Three

A Latina lifestyle blog for the modern mom

  • It is still summer time and it will be like this in Houston all the way through the end of October (no kidding 😭). While the kids like being outdoors (me not so much) we both can agree we do not like bugs 🐛 🐜🕷. #Ad. Main reason why you hardly ever see us coming in through our front door, unless I have packages 📦 waiting for me there, because the bugs always find a way to get in. And that is where @zevoinsect comes to my rescue. Best thing we found at Target that has helped eliminate the bugs that sneak their way in. Zevo products effectively eliminate bugs with no harsh chemicals and are safe to use around people and pets when used as directed. Zevo is available at Target 🎯, click the link in my bio to check if your local store carries it too. And right now through 8/17, if you spent $50 or more on household essentials (including Zevo!) you’ll get a $15 target gift card. #waysmarterthanbugs #availableatTarget
  • We have spent our summer days relaxing as much as possible and now it’s quickly coming to an end! #ad But the one thing that doesn’t change is when we are on the go, @kindsnacks Kids Bars have been my go-to bars for the kids (& even for myself because they are sooo good 😋) _ The Chewy Chocolate Chip is Luke’s favorite and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip are Elyse & Ryan’s top pick. With 100% whole grains and 25% less sugar than the leading kids bar, these quick go-to bars have gotten us through our busy summer days when heading to the waterpark, or even on the days the kids have gymnastics and swimming. _ Lean on @kindsnacks to get you through your summer activities AND school lunches, I know we sure are! We get ours at our local @Krogerco #bekindtoyourself #KINDKidatKroger
  • Living our best life at @hsbresort ☀️. Our first time here and it won’t be the last. We been enjoying our family getaway before school starts for the kids & this place has not disappointed us. We are officially exhausted from all the fun activities we been doing. We just finished our sunset 🌅 boat ride and dinner at the new restaurant Waterfront Bar & Grill - definitely recommend you do this when you book your stay. // I have created a highlight so you can follow all of our stories during our stay 🚤🏖🌴#hosted #hsbresort #horeshoebay #horseshoebayresort #lakelbj
  • We only have two more weeks left of summer ☀️ and then I’ll have these three kids back in school. Where did the time go? Excited to enjoy one last summer trip with my crew tomorrow to @hsbresort we cannot wait! What fun activities/ trips did you guys do this summer? Tell me down below 👇🏼 // #summerfun #lovecarters
  • #AD If you like having finger food options at parties or small gatherings and no mess for kids to take on the go- this is just for you! This recipe is easy to follow and a WINNER for us every time. I love recipes that are easy and this is one of them. These Pork Carnitas RITZ Toppers will have you coming back for more. We actually just had some again today for lunch and finished it so quick 😋 Head to the blog for full recipe using @ritzcrackers #antojos #porkcarnitas #ritzcrackers #linkinbio
  • With less than a month left until the kids head BTS I am definitely trying to enjoy the few weeks we have together and soak in these last moments. I am also not feeling guilty at all of taking advantage of the few quiet afternoons I get to myself while they are off to grandmas. I am going to #TakeASeccoTo simply enjoy no distractions and a peaceful afternoon to myself to catch up on emails, work, and then relax with my favorite @riondoprosecco on hand as I catch up on my guilty pleasure- reality tv. I’m hooked on the new Lifetime V.C Andrews movie series happening every Saturday right now. I’m here for it all, who else is watching it? #ad21+ #RiondoProsecco
  • #AD What is your favorite antojito? For us, it’s Pork Carnitas (Mexican slow cooked pulled pork). Always our go to choice when doing family events or small gatherings with friends. It is a winner with our kids too, who can be picky eaters at times but they are obsessed with this quick @ritzcrackers appetizer. Best part about this recipe is it takes 15 min to make and you can find all the ingredients needed at your local @HEB. These Pork Carnitas are so tender and juicy on the inside, while also crisp and golden on the outside. You will need this in your life- thank me later.
