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!

Camilla is 9 Months Old

I can't believe how fast she is growing, she is now 9 months old! I think I have to start planning her birthday if I want to get things done. This past month we had two big milestones and today she went for her 9 month checkup.

Lemonade & Cookie Stand

Spring is here and that means spring cleaning! is the time for garage sales here on our neighborhood and we get the stuff out that we don't use or don't need anymore. My daughter Isabella knew it would be the perfect time to make a lemonade stand, so my son Alessandro decided to join in as well by selling cookies something that he loves. The money from the sales goes to their piggy banks because they are saving money for college since they were little.

Our Easter Tradition

Back in Guatemala Easter is completely different is mostly about processions, alfombras de aserrin (sawdust carpets), devotion as the majority are Catholic. It is beautiful and the smell is great. If you get a chance please google to see the beauty or even better visit Guatemala! So being in this country sometimes you have to adjust to new traditions such as the Easter egg hunt and the Easter baskets.

Trip to Blessington Farms

Three years ago I was searching all over town for places that would have Easter Egg Hunts and I came across Blessington Farms website. I loved the idea of hay rides, slides, pedal cars because immediately took me back when I was little with simple games, lots of fun and best of all no electronics!
