Cleaning and cleaning.

I've been cleaning since Friday, and I'm finally taking a well deserved break. It's taking a long time because we're not only cleaning but we are also cleansing our closets and drawers. We are separating a lot of things to donate. Although, so far I'm the only one doing this daily and the rest of the family do it during the weekends (when they're not working).


 Anyways clearing out my closet I found my sister's old guitar and I was checking the strings and was able to record this cute little thing:

I've also been setting out Christmas stuff, so Minki got lucky. I set out some of her X-mas theme toys. Just look at that sassfluff being all cute!

Oh, and during my unplanned hiatus our freezer fizzled out so we've been freezer-less for a while. Today the new one finally came in and I can't wait to start using it! I have a ton of make ahead cookies recipes I've been dying to try and now I can. I'll keep you guys updated..

How has your week started? I'd love to know.

Con amor,

Of dogs and gifts.

Good morning to all!


It's finally Friday, and I've spent all my morning with my cuddle bug Nina. I was awake in bed going through emails and other notifications while she slept the morning away. She is a napper, she loves her sleep!

She got so grumpy when I said it was time to get up. Look at that little grumpy lion cub face! She is adorable.

I've been spending the majority of my time lately checking tracking for gifts that I got for my family. I've also become a gift wrapping machine! Every gift I already have, I've gift wrapped.

Now I'll spend the rest of today and this weekend finishing Christmas cleaning, so the decorating can commence.

I'll hopefully post more (Fingers crossed) this weekend. Until then, happy Friday!!!



What are your weekend plans? Have any of you started Christmas decorating?

Con amor,

A Tropical Christmas.

Hello hello!

It's been a very long time!

I know, I'm so sorry for the unannounced hiatus. I was not well health wise for a couple of months. I kept getting sick. No matter, I'm back now and that's what's important. The weather here has been very hectic. It's either chilly and humid or hot and humid. There has also been tons of rain. It's tropical weather and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've been playing around with my drawing tablet and made these Christmas cards. I've missed blogging and like I keep saying I'll try to keep up with it!

This one is my absolute favorite! It came out so cute. 

I know they're aren't the greatest, but practice makes perfect. I hope you guys like it and feel free to use them too. I'll keep you updated with Christmas in Puerto Rico.

Till next time!

I live in paradise.

Just wanted you guys to know.

This is from a month ago, I had in saved as a draft and forgot to post it so here it is.

Errand day.

Hi guys!

Today has been a long day. I've been running errands all day long!

I opened a new bank account, since I didn't have one here. So it's all ready for my financial aid refund, I'm kind of excited to start college classes again. I feel like a freshman all over again.

I did some grocery shopping and went to a freshmart.. I'm trying out a new drink made with ginseng, I already tried the ginger ale flavor and it was so refreshing. Next one up is an all natural cola flavor~

Anyways for lunch we went to a nice place called Crepe Maker. It was absolutely delicious! I had a pesto chicken crepe it looked and tasted amazing. I couldn't help but take a picture of it.

They have so much variety, I am definitely planning on going there again. Hopefully soon!

How was your Saturday?

                                                                          Con amor,
                                                                             Yaris ♡

life lately. a little hectic.

I've been pretty busy lately. I've been spending time with the family, have been busy at church, been looking for work, and I am starting my classes again. I took a year off, and I think it's time to start up again. I'm facing my fears and difficulties head on. Wish me luck guys!

And I'll blog a lot more now.

I'll leave some pictures of what I've been doing and I promise that there are more to come!

So, has has summer been for everyone else?

Oración del día: Familia.

Dios bendice a mi hogar y los miembros de mi familia. Dales salud y fortaleza para enfrentar el día. Te doy las gracias por bendecirme con mis familiares. Que mi casa te sirva y te pongamos en el centro de todo lo que hagamos. Provéenos lo que necesitemos. Que vivamos haciendo tu voluntad y seamos buenos mayordomos de lo que nos haz dado. Pido tu protección sobre todos nosotros.

 Que esta familia dependa y sea tuya.

                                   

                                                   Amén
