Unwind with Weekend Plans
As the end of the week approaches, feelings of relaxation start to sweep in. This weekend, I’m looking forward to celebrating my nana’s birthday. Family celebrations like these remind us to cherish our loved ones and create meaningful memories. In addition to the birthday festivities, I’ll be teaching a barre class—a perfect blend of fitness and fun—and catching up with a friend over brunch. Low-key weekends allow us to recharge, providing much-needed moments of respite.

A Culinary Journey this Week
Last Sunday, our family gathered for dinner, filled with laughter, swimming, and, of course, delicious food! We enjoyed homemade street tacos paired with refreshing margaritas, a true summertime delight. I even baked a new round of triple berry bars—a colossal hit with everyone, especially the kids!
For dinner, I whipped up barbacoa and shredded chicken, paired with Instant Pot Mexican rice (recipe coming soon, it's too easy and delicious not to share!), beans from madre, and crunchy chips served with homemade tomatillo salsa. Gatherings like these resonate with warmth as we share flavors and stories, enriching our community.
Creative Hobbies and Entertainment
This week, I also ventured into the world of crafting, inspired by P’s recent crochet project. I finger crocheted my very first blanket while indulging in my favorite series, Younger. I'm currently on Season 7 and can’t shake the feeling that it may not end the way I hope. While I contemplate my viewing choices, I also want to hear from you! What captivating summer reads have you explored lately?
Health and Wellness Insights
As we bask in the joys of summer, it’s also crucial to focus on our well-being. One way to ensure we maintain healthy habits is through family involvement in meals. Teaching children how to eat healthily can be a game changer. Introducing exciting recipes such as Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy-free) can go a long way in making nutritious choices fun!
Practices like yoga can also play a vital role in wellness. One often underrated pose is the Side Crow Pose, which strengthens the core and enhances balance. As fitness trainers and gym owners, you can inspire students by incorporating more engaging exercises into your sessions.
