His gorgeousness is turning three today. Well, thr His gorgeousness is turning three today. Well, three and three older brothers, which gives a better description of his age. He is funny, fearless, mischievous, loving, and cuddly. He loves riding his bike, all things construction, Paw Patrol, food, all of it, and above all, his brothers. He is a daddy’s boy, makes us all laugh a lot, and keeps being a beacon of light. Have a wonderful year, Little T. 🎂💙🚜 Esta preciosidad cumple tres años hoy. Bueno, tres años y tres hermanos mayores es una descripción mejor de su edad. Es graciosísimo, atrevido, travieso, cariñoso y muy achuchable. Le encanta montar en su bici, los vehículos de construcción, Paw Patrol, toda la comida, pero sobre todo, sus hermanos. Está completamente empadrado, nos hace reír a diario, y sigue siendo nuestro ratito de luz. Que tengas un año estupendo, mi niño. #birthday #boy #motherhood #family #maternidad #LittleT #familia #elpequeño
I used to love baking, but during the pandemic, I I used to love baking, but during the pandemic, I stopped. Lately I have been slowly going back to it, specially because my hungry crowd is asking for it. I have turned my pumping cupboard into a baking cupboard, and on we are. Thank you, @m_uv for the Christmas gift, and thank you @goutdhestia for writing a cookbook with recipes with a reasonable amount of ingredients that I can easily find. Totally recommended. Now, Maria, you have to come over for dinner. 🍪👩🏻‍🍳 Me solía encantar hacer repostería, pero durante la pandemia dejé de cocinar casi del todo. Últimamente, y poco a poco, he empezado a haver cositas otra vez, sobre todo porque los niños piden galletas a todas horas. Libros fáciles, como el que me regaló una amiga por Navidad, ayudan. #cookies #galletas #baking #cookingwithkids #cocinarconniños #reposteria #homemade #comidacasera
Lisboa bound, and then Chicago bound, and this was Lisboa bound, and then Chicago bound, and this was too short, and I really really really want to stay. ✈️🇪🇸🇵🇹🇺🇸 Destino Lisboa, y luego destino Chicago, y dos semanas no son nada. Quiero quedarme… #travelingwithkids #viajarconniños #acasapornavidad #loiu #bilbao #tap #españa #spain #flyingwithkids
Es la noche más mágica aquí en España, y monto Es la noche más mágica aquí en España, y montones de niños ponen sus zapatos bajo el árbol. Hacía mucho que mis hijos no lo hacían aquí, y creo que para todos es especial. Mi padre adoraba la navidad, y cuando yo era pequeña siempre procuraba que fuera mágica. Y aunque no está, yo le veo por todos los sitios: en la mesa en la que hemos dejado el turrón, en la forma en que mis hijos entrelazan sus manos a la espalda, y, sobre todo, en la ilusión. ¡Feliz Noche de Reyes! 👑👑👑🌠 This the most magical night of the year in Spain, and all the kids leave their shoes under the Christmas tree. It had been a while since my children had the chance to do it here, and it is very special for all of us. My dad loved Christmas, and when I was little, he always made sure all the magic was here. And, although he is not here, I see him everywhere: in the table that holds the sweets for the Magi, made by him; in the way my kids hold their hands behind their backs; and, above all, in their excitement. Happy Noche de Reyes! #family #familia #Reyes #ThreeWiseMen #ReyesMagos #Christmas #Navidad #Spain #España #Pobes #grief #duelo
