Ever since I became a parent my priorities have changed and, at the very top of my list, is making sure that I do everything I can to bring joy and maintain good health for my family. I know better than anyone how busy we can all get and how that sometimes sidetracks us from what really matters. It is important to make a conscious effort, on a daily basis, to spend quality time together doing what really makes us happy or trae la felicidad.
En nuestro hogar, or our home, maintaining good communication is key in ensuring our happiness. My husband and I have conversations with both of our sons every afternoon to recap the day’s events. Although we are both working parents, this allows us to be engaged in our boys’ daily activities and shows them that we value taking the time out to reflect on their day. As you can see from their smiles when I pick them up at the end of the day, they really look forward to this time we spend together talking.
Making sure that our boys stay healthy is very important to us. As a result, we are involved in a variety of sports. Studies have shown that participating in sports activities makes kids perform better academically. Also, they go a long way in maintaining their overall health by building endurance and their muscle strength. Getting moving keeps our boys very happy because they are staying active and having more opportunities to socialize with their peers. From basketball to fútbol, we just love playing sports!
Imagine if we all had a special someone by our side to support us through each day and help us enjoy life more? A little Baymax from the hit pelicula, or movie, Big Hero 6 can go a long way! With all the love and laughter that audiences have come to expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Big Hero 6 is an action-packed comedy adventure that introduces Baymax, a lovable, personal companion robot, who forms a special Bond with robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada. The best part is that Big Hero 6 is now available on Disney Movies Anywhere, and on Blu-ray™ February 24, 2015!
At the end of the day, I guess the moral here is that everybody needs somebody, sometimes. The unity of family is what brings joy and health to our family every single day. Having just one person around you who cares about you and motivates you to be your very best can change your whole outlook on life. The more, the merrier! La más gente que hay, lo mejor!
I invite you to participate in the #BigHero6Sweeps 7-day Photo Challenge between February 22 – 28th. Participants have the opportunity to win prizes including a $500 Disney Store gift card and Big Hero 6 Blu-ray™ Combo pack!

I try (and I teach my daughters) to be kind to people. You never know when a strangers day can be changed because you smiled at them or said hello.
Our family eats together without any electronics at least 5 days a week. We also choose one day a week where we play board games and have treats. The rest of the week we try to stay healthy and eat fresh foods and play outside.
We actually choose one day of the week, where we sit and talk about what everyone is doing and how everyone is doing which is very important. COMMUNICATION is key to our family’s happiness. We always teach our children to have manners (say thank you, please, open doors for everyone and just be polite). We’ve also taught them that if a child is different from them doesn’t mean they are wrong, or stupid or they have cooties 🙂 We should give everyone a chance.
We live a happy and healthy life by respecting and loving each other.
We live happy by doing what is right. We help each other and try to help each other lead a stress free life to be happy.
One of the things we did was to make our home safe ground. A place that no matter what you did, or what happened… home is where you are loved unconditionally … where we worked out our problems and didn’t point blame. Where instead of being yelled out, you were hugged and you knew we’d work out the problem together as a family. When one of the boys moved out… I heard him say can I come back home to be safe if I need to? And I remember when we sold that house, they were worried it wouldn’t be the same in the new house… but it was… and it always will be “safe in our home” wherever we (parents) are for our children.
We try to live a happy healthy life by being good honest people, helping others out. And by spending quality time together.
We live a happy and healthy life by taking care of each other and our kitties, when weather permits we enjoy it outside, otherwise we hang out together inside and watch movies, listen to music, and play games.
We are happy and healthy because we try to live a balanced life. We enjoy playing, working and exercising and taking down time as well. We try to eat healthy but still enjoy a treat here and there.
We live a happy and healthy life by being a strong family by communicating and having fun together.
Luckily for me my son and daughter are best friends. They have a amazing relationship that makes me happy and proud everyday. They are constantly playing and running around.
We encourage love and friendship by volunteering during events at the church and by always using our manners. Thanks.
