Living with Intentions

Covid19 has marked our lives this year 2020. These past holidays, we have all been at home with limited amount of people and six feet apart from each other while in the same living room. This past Thursday 24th, Yamil and I decided to go big even if it was only the three of us, especially now that we recently moved to Seattle and we are  3,711 miles from our family in Puerto Rico. That evening we had a feast! We set our dining table with food served in every corner. We had Pumpkin stuffed ravioli, with roasted chicken, kale and cheese salad, and potato salad, yum! We even lit some candles, which later on I learned  (out of the subject)  that t he  candle  symbolizes the  holy illumination of the spirit of truth, so perfect scenario for Christmas. We had such fun this evening, it was magical. Adriana spent the night asking me to track Santa through the Norad website, which allows you to see via satellite where Santa is at the moment and what ...

During Christmas time, since I can remember from childhood, there is always Coquito at home. Keep in mind Christmas Season in Puerto Rico pretty much is from November 1st to January 14th ish. Yeah! the longest Christmas ever, therefore lots of Coquitos to enjoy and celebrate with! And so, one of the reasons this is my favorite time of the year is... yup you guessed it, COQUITO! I will list here all ingredients to this yummy drink for you to enjoy with others while the season last.   Ingredients:       1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (13.5-ounce) can of coconut milk 2 cups (1 15 oz can) cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez) 1/8 tsp nutmeg 1 tablespoon vainilla essence   1 1/2 cup white Don Q rum cinnamon sticks for garnish Process:  1.

My husband and I are pretty adventurous and we dare to do things that not everyone does. Like this road trip, but this wasn't any usual road trip, this was more of exploring each state for a quick moment to see if we would fall in love with any specific place to stay for a while. The day was here, November 1st,  or 11.1 (repetitive numbers and universe manifestation will be discussed later on). We had our Kia Soul full of bags, toys, and kitchen essentials, like my beloved coffee machine. We started our trip at 5:00am(ET) with a half asleep 4 years old, and another half asleep 33 years old (me). Our first stop to rest was in Pensacola, FL. This is when we realized our clocks went back one hour, we were a little lost about that, ha! We headed out next morning, and next rest stop was Mississippi, then we ended up at Louisiana afterwards. We stayed at a super nice hotel called The  Horseshoe in Bossier City  by the Red River.  The room had floor to ceilings windows faci...

   If you are thinking where in the city of Seattle you can have both the beach and mountains, Golden Gardens Park will be one of the choices. This breathtaking place has everything you need to spend your day by listening to the waves while watching the  Olympic  Mountains across the sea. You see so many activities going on, from Playgrounds, Volleyball Court, Trails, Picnic Areas, a Bathhouse, and they have Restrooms and FREE Parking.   Golden Gardens Park- Pond   The moment we got to this beautiful park, we could see people relaxing in every way possible.  My four-year-old daughter, after playing with the sand, started skipping rocks right before going through one of the walking paths and finding a pond with Turtles and Ducks. It was just so beautiful to watch the pond with the ocean in the  background that I had to capture that moment to share with you.  So grab your blanket and head this way to spend your afternoon by ...
