Sobre mí

Soy madre educadora en el hogar de dos niños y estoy felizmente casada con mi mejor amigo: mi esposo. Me encanta leer, escribir, cocinar, hacer artes manuales e irme a aventurear con mi familia. Vivimos una vida sencilla, pero siempre buscando las mejores oportunidades y recursos para crecer y simplemente disfrutar.

Siempre había deseado quedarme en casa y cuidar de mi familia, pero la “realidad económica” y la incertidumbre ante lo desconocido me mantenían en el mundo laboral. Se oirá raro pero, Dios permitió dificultades de salud en mi vida que me forzaron a dejar mi trabajo y a concentrarme en mí y en mi familia. Esto, por ende, me llevó a realizar mi sueño de ser una madre trabajadora desde el hogar y, más aún me dio el privilegio de poder educar a mis hijos en el hogar. Hoy en día gozo de excelente salud y disfruto de estar junto a mi familia.

Acompáñame leyendo sobre las aventuras de nuestro homeschooling, de los momentos buenos y no tan buenos, de mi búsqueda por buscar recursos educativos, de mi amor por las artes manuales y por sorprender a mi familia con platos ricos, originales y nutritivos. Nuestra familia es de la bella Isla del Encanto, Puerto Rico, pero vive soñando con su patria desde Los Angeles, California.
