Pen Pals Wanted

If anyone wants to take it old school, let me know and I'll give you our address... Lina's mailbox is up and running now, ready for deliveries.  #thelostartofletterwriting #keepletterwritingalive #gobuysomestamps


Superheroes

Just a couple of superheroes (in outgrown costumes) stalking the garbage truck on a Monday morning.


Vegan Reset

Over the last several weeks I've begun a sort of healthy-er food journey.  I've been wanting to make a lot of changes in how I eat and what I cook, buy wasn't sure how to go about it.  Years and years of eating the same, cooking the same, and just not feeling very creative.  Finally tried several different, mostly plant-based meals that were pretty successful with the fam, but was still feeling like I didn't really know what I was doing.  Luckily this amazing 28-day meal plan program from @veganreset fell into my lap thanks to a friend and I decided, why not?  28 days of meal plans, grocery lists, step-by-step meal prep, daily "lessons" sent straight to my email, AND a facebook group for support and ideas?!  Sold!!  I've never prepped for an entire week's worth of meals the weekend before, but it's so worth it and makes me enjoy cooking so much more!  I also never thought I'd have so much fun photographing my food. :)
















Chase is on the Case!

Trying to get Benicio pumped up for sleeping in his own bed in Isandro's room, so I let him pick out a stuffed animal at the store for him to cuddle with in his new bed.  He picked out Chase from the show Paw Patrol.






Pool Party Fun

Celebrating Vanesa's birthday with lots of swimming fun at the "Espinosa Compound!"



Isandro gives the pool party 2 thumbs up. ;)




Muscles and Bling

Saturdays are for muscle tees, and lots and lots of bling.  #blingbylina #gottalovesisters








B and Me

Just having some fun with my main guy while the others are at school.











Couch Napper

Been struggling with naps lately with this guy.  If he takes too long of a nap, it takes him forEVER to fall asleep at night, or same if he falls asleep too late in the day.  I have tried to keep him up so that he goes to sleep quickly at night, but sometimes there is little I can do to keep him awake.  When he falls asleep on the couch, you know his little body is exhausted!




First Day Ice Cream

We've always tried to have a special treat to celebrate the first day of school, and since it's so hot in AZ, what better after-school treat than some frozen yogurt?!
