  • A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. —Lao Tzu We’ve all heard of the importance of “greens” into our daily diets. How about green fats? I am talking about delicious, creamy avocadoes. For most of mainland USA, you are used to Hass avocadoes. The small size variety great for making guacamole. But there are so many more varieties and sizes and even textures. Visiting my parents' house I get to pick them off the tree. As you see in the pictures, one of those avocados could be shared with a few (depending on what you are making). Check out a delicious avocado recipe on my post! * * Un viaje de miles de millas comienza con un primer paso. —Lao Tzu Con frecuencia escuchamos de la importancia de añadir alimentos verdes a nuestra dieta diaria. ¿Has considerado grasas verdes? Hablo de deliciosos y cremosos aguacates. Para la mayoría en los Estaos Unidos, un aguacate son los Hass. Esta variedad pequeña que es usada con frecuencia para hacer guacamole. Sn embargo, existen tantas otras variedades de aguacates de distintos tamaños y texturas.

  • How does one become a butterfly? You have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. -Unknown Have you heard of Monarch Waystations? I didn’t until three years ago. My daughters, like most little kids, were fascinated by butterflies. Honestly, I love watching them too. We’ve previously made the effort of adding attracting butterfly plants into our gardens just so we can enjoy them flutter around in the evening that we would sit out to enjoy the outdoors. But this waystation project was different. Learn about Monarch Waystations and the life lesson I learned through this process on my recent post. #vidasalveo #monarchbutterfly #monarchwaystation #lifelessons #naturelover #homeschoolingadventures
  • Finding COURAGE in the midst of VULNERABILITY. Accepting you are vulnerable is hard. Finding courage to keep on going sometimes feels like an impossible task. For the past two days my immune system has been trying to get the best of me. It has been so hard to work out and be active. Today as I stared at my running shoes, debating if I wanted to push myself to go out for my morning run, my daughters stood next to me ready to go encouraging me to do it. It wasn't until they quoted me in a phrase I constantly tell them - “You are strong and brave, you are loved, you can do anything you put your mind to. You are a gift from God!” As tears of joy and empowerment rolled out of my eyes I got up and out I went. I was sore, it was hard, my performance wasn't great but I did it anyways. Know that when we surround ourselves with people that truly care, they'll be there for you on those moments. Even if you can't see those people around you, you have the courage within. Be still and you’ll see you are not alone. Find the COURAGE within. Have COURAGEOUS Saturday!! 💪 #vidasalveo #undifferentiatedconnectivetissuedisease #bebrave #findingcourage

  • "I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within, and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat". -Miranda Kerr Mornings can be so short. You have to be on time to work, get the kids ready for school, meetings to attend, appointments to get to. Try cramming a workout, breakfast, putting your make-up on… urgh! Mornings aren’t usually calm. If you are like I used to be, I would be on time to whatever I was supposed to be until my stomach would remind me that I forgot about breakfast. Or around mid-morning when I felt like my body was crashing. I would get better at eating breakfast for a little bit, but would fall back again into the same habit.  Have you ever felt that way? I share my go-to shake on this port to help me stay healthy. #morningshakes #vidasalveo #healthyrecipes
  • On this new day, here I am finding the good in life’s moments. Happy Friday! *** En este nuevo día, aquí estoy encontrando lo bueno en cada de momento que la vida me presenta. Feliz viernes!!
  • "Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved".-Dr. Jane Goodwill Some of the perks of homeschooling are the exciting life lessons and adventures we get to embark on. During every trip we make as a family, we try to set up educational events. On our most recent trip to Puerto Rico this summer, we were able to set up a “Caretaker for a Day” at the “Centro de Conservación de Manatíes de Puerto Rico”, which in English means the Conservation Center for Manatees of Puerto Rico. I share this unforgettable experience on today's post. * *Solo si entendemos, nos importará. Solo si nos importa, ayudaremos. Solo si ayudamos podría todo salvarse." -Dr. Jane Goodwill Parte de las ventajas de educar a mis hijas en el hogar (homeschooling), son las lecciones y aventuras que a las cuales embarcamos juntas. Cada vez que viajamos tratamos de organizar una actividad o evento educacional. En nuestro más reciente viaje a Puerto Rico, este verano, tuvimos la oportunidad de ser cuidadores por un día en el Centro de Conservación de Manatíes de Puerto Rico localizado en la Universidad Interamericana en Bayamón. Comparto esta inolvidable experiencia en mi post de hoy. * * * #vidasalveo #manatipr #savingmarinelife #manati #homeschoollife
