The Children of Malawi

Malawi Children

Above photo credit: @Chookooloonks. All others below and video are mine and taken with an iPhone 6. It’s been five days since I left Malawi and all I can think about are the children. Their faces of joy, curiosity and excitement as soon as they’d see our caravan of vans arrive at their village are […]

Lake Malawi Sunset

Note: I wrote this within hours of arriving to Malawi last week but never got a chance to publish it due to the chopppy internet that was available. I decided to still publish it to give context to the series of posts coming up detailing the trip. The view from the terrace in my room where […]

All About that Family Trip to Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe

April 21, 2015 14 Comments

Ensenada beach hot springs

I so needed a vacation and some real, real quality time with my girl and husband after the crazy, beautiful amazingness that was #WeAllGrow Summit. My girl’s spring break was three weeks after #WeAllGrow, so I blocked off the whole week so we could take off as a family on a border-crossing roadtrip. El Valle […]

it's a small world 50th Anniversary Celebration -- madrevida.com

Today we are connected globally at the touch of a screen. In most cases it’s so easy for our kids to grow up with a global conscious that involves an understanding and respect for different languages and cultures. This is such a new phenomenon, but fifty years ago Walt Disney embraced the vision of uniting […]

Up Close and Personal with ‘The LEGO Movie’ — It’s Awesome {Video}

February 4, 2014 Leave a Comment

I seriously was supposed to publish this last week y tenía todas las buenas intenciones de hacerlo, but it was exhausting to be in the sick house with my girl who was out bad with a virus for the full week. At least, she had the awesome memories from the weekend at Legoland for The LEGO […]

A Family Ski Trip to Lake Tahoe

January 23, 2014 Leave a Comment

The first time I saw snow, like real inches-deep powdery snow, I was in my twenties. Growing up in El Salvador, I used to fantasize of making a snowman, of throwing myself sin ningún cuidado sobre la nieve and make snow angels. I always wondered how it would feel to open my mouth and let […]

#ThrowbackThursday — Tulum

January 2, 2014 6 Comments

That was me only eight years ago, but it seems so far away. Tulum, in the Mexican Riviera Maya, is my favorite place of the Madre Tierra I know. It’s my sacred place. It’s the place I think about and get a sudden and sharp pain in my gut de la añoranza de querer estar […]

Pinning la Vida

     NYT Cooking: On the hottest summer days, this is the dish to make because it requires zero cooking. A quick marinade of lemon juice, seaweed and fresh vegetables sets up a flavorful, no-fuss ceviche that tastes like the sea despite having no seafood in it. Store-bought minced or “riced” cauliflower won’t work for this dish. You have to start by grating or mincing a fresh whole head of cauliflower — that ext...
