Its not surprising that I made exercise my job.
Now that I have kids, I fit in working out when its most convenient for my kids.
Usually this means before they wake up or in between work and meetings.

We all make dinner, and Carmen loves to cook too.
Teaching them to help around the house is very much a part of our parenting philosophy.
Everyone has bathed, changed into pjs and had dinner.

Being too strict and rigid will just bring us stress and disappointment.

Its so cute to watch them with him.
They love this story time with their daddy.
The kids are hanging out.
Carmen and Leo love art and Marvins magic pens!
Watching them with their little conversations together warms my heart.
Fostering their closeness is one of my main focuses in being their mother.
I hope they will always be lifelong best friends.
Alec and I have date night, once the kids are in bed.
Taking time together has helped us through much good and some challenging times in our relationship.
