During school days kids are used to a schedule, homework, activities but then summer comes and all day they're at home with no clue on what to do, so they need a bit of guidance on what they can do throughout the whole summer.

Summer Camp at Home - Art Camp

During the summer break you have to get creative if you don't want your kids to tell you all the time "I'm bored!" or seeing them on their electronics for longer periods. 

We came up with with the idea of summer camps at home because let's be honest camps are expensive specially if you have two or more kids. Every week we have a theme and this way you find activities, arts, crafts, movies or places that are related to the theme of the week. My kids love to have a calendar with the ideas because they can know what to expect for the week.

Our visit to Magnolia Table

I remember back in the day we used to watch House Hunters with my husband but then Fixer Upper came by and it changed the whole idea of HGTV because it was a family show and now everyone wants shiplap and farm sinks on their houses. It was not too long that my daughter also join us, so as soon as we saw them building Magnolia Market at the Silos and then the Magnolia Table we knew we had to stop by, but unfortunately they don't open on Sundays so it took us a while to get there.

Work at Home Mom...How to Manage your Time

From my point of view working from home has been a true blessing, of course I don't always see it that way when everything is upside down but at the end is truly rewarding. When I had my first baby back in 2007 I was planning to go back to work but came to find out that my whole salary was going to be to pay for the daycare. I liked being at home with my baby but at the same time I wanted to feel productive, help with our expenses and so I knew that I had to do something from home and believe me I tried everything from filling surveys, home daycare, selling things at eBay and more, I think I even signed up in a pyramid scheme!

Rodeo Houston & Camilla's First Rodeo

In Houston one of the big events of the year is the Livestock Show & Rodeo. Is a fun day where you get to wear your cowboy boots, plaid shirt and your off to a great day! You can do lots of things from play at the carnival rides, games, learn about animals, shop, eat a lot (funnel cakes), go to the concert along with the rodeo and more! Our first year going to the rodeo was back in 2011 when Alessandro was only two months and Isabella was three years old...aww!

Camilla's Birth Story

For about five years we thought we were done having babies but something in our hearts told us we needed one more and I thank God everyday that we did!

Two weeks before my baby was born I went to my doctor, she told me that we were ready and it was just a matter of waiting, she said perhaps with the full moon baby was going to be born...it didn't happen. So I went for another checkup and my doctor decided it was best to induce me as we were already full term.
