When I was child my mom and I took a baking class, we learned how to make bread, roscones and doughnuts. Since then I have tried to make bread once more and it was a failure. During this time with the kids at home, like most of you I have decided to try baking once again with the help of […]
Over the weekend it was my mom’s birthday and the first since her passing. To honor her, the kids and I cooked a SANCOCHO which is simply put a soup (some people say is a stew). I wasn’t planning on making it but let me tell you the story on why we choose to make this stew. I went grocery […]

On Easter Sunday T and I made a delicious cake. It was made from scratch, we mastered the food coloring, the texture was fluffy, the taste on point and the frosting was sweet! Since the cake turned out so well, T and I decided to bake his birthday cake. I went to the grocery store for our weekly shopping trip and bought all the ingredients for our cake. T wanted a Oreo cake. I looked at various recipes but I couldn’t decide what to do. So I just decided to follow one recipe for the cake and one for the frosting.

Today, I will be focusing in the various dishes my family and I have been eating over the past couple of weeks. The easy part is buying healthier foods. The hard part is being creative and get the kids to eat it. Also I try to sustain a balance of food staples such as rice and bread with a healthy […]
Hello all 🙋♀️ As I’ve mentioned before… having premature triplets requires a level of social distancing similar to what all of us are experiencing today. I have also been a stay at home mom for the past 5 years. In the past 2 years, as a family we have changed our life in order to make sure the health of our smallest family members was optimal. The key to deal with kids at home. Make a schedule as a guide of what you would like to do but you must be flexible. You also need to schedule free time. Have a space where kids can run around just as they would do at the park. Open the curtains as well as windows. Let the fresh air and sun light shine. Parents/caregivers have a lot of patience and when you feel overwhelmed please step away. Leave your kids in a safe place or busy with an activity. If you need to run for 5 minutes to the washroom and relax. Remember kids need structure and they need to continue learning. However, they also need some normalcy and free play. Unscheduled play. I’m not an expert, I’m just a stay at home mom. I’m sharing what I have learned on the pass 5 years. 》》🦸♂️🦸♀️👦🧒🧒🧒🧒 Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @ journeysandus7
I was at the grocery store by 7:00 a.m. The frozen vegetables, milk, and bread were gone. I was surprised to see toilet paper, pasta and canned goods. The store seems to not be selling much of its fresh produce and they have mark down the prices of many items. I took this time to take advantage of the fresh […]
Yesterday I finally made it to the grocery store… only to find long lines of people buying non perishable items. Boxes of hand sanitizers and there was no toilet paper. A lady told me… ” I really need toilet paper, I’ve been to 5 grocery stores and there is nothing”.. I said it might be bad for the environment but […]
Last week we purchased mostly vegetables and fruits for the first time. The over all price wasn’t bad. However, we have to go back to the grocery store tomorrow. A few things I like to point out this are Canadian dollars. The good: HST (taxes) were only $0.03 We got a variety of fruits and vegetables Meat wasn’t as expensive […]
