Lavender garden in Guatemala
Jardines De Provenza Jardines de Provenza is a lavender garden in Guatemala, located in San Mateo Milpas Altas. For a long time I wanted to visit a lavender field. When I discovered that just a couple of minutes from Antigua Guatemala was a garden with lavender with a volcano in the background, I immediately added it to my summer vacations wish list. Is it worth it? I’m going to be honest, I thought that it was a huge lavender field, and it’s more like a garden with lots of lavender. It’s beautiful because of the location, the volcano on the background and the aroma makes it so worthy! Would I…

Tres Leches Cake recipe
This is the best homemade Tres leches cake recipe. It has been the favorite to celebrate birthdays in my family for years, my mom bakes tres leches for everyone’s birthday and we all look forward to it. It’s no surprise that the tradition continues with my own family. My mom tops the cake with French meringue, wich it’s totally dreamy, but it really is too cloying. So I made a variation and I topped the cake with whipping cream. Mi oldest son always asks for tres leches for his birthday, and it has been so challenging for me!

Discovering the Montessori method was a turning point in how I approached parenting, especially when it came to fostering values like teamwork, respect, confidence, and independence. It all started by accident while browsing Pinterest one day, I stumbled upon a pin titled “How to Raise a Helper,” accompanied by a picture of a little girl cleaning a window from there it quickly became a journey of learning that transformed our home. As I learned more about Montessori, I realized that it’s not just a curriculum for schools—it’s a way of life that can be applied at home to create a more harmonious and supportive environment for our children.

Tips for flying with a 2 year old and her car seat
Traveling with my youngest has been really “easy” until she started walking. That was the time when air traveling became my nightmare. On our trip to California I was finger crossing that she would sleep through the flight, and it was that way, the thing is she was a couple of days away of turning two and she was still flying in “lap” so I was exhausted of having her in my lap for 3 hours. I can’t complain she woke up when we were landing. On our way back, she didn’t slept and we even had bought her a seat. Let’s just say we were that family with a…

Cranberry orange muffin recipe
The story behind this Cranberry orange muffin recipe is really funny. We started a diet a few weeks ago ( the keto diet) and Cris wanted to make keto friendly crepes. He decided to make the same recipe he usually makes and just replace regular flour with coconut flour. I knew that it was going to be a totally failure, but he made them and in fact they were a failure lol. They were a mess but it tasted good. He did not gave up, he added more ingredients, pour them in cupcake tins and bake them, we were amazed by the result. It wasn’t a failure after all lol.…
