Late posted, but better late than never!!

This is such a late posted, but I would like to share that my son celebrated 5 months of life on earth and with us on February 5th!!

5 months into being new parents to our first child and I can honestly say it's the best job ever, and I would not have it any other way. Everyday and chance I get with my son is a blessing and I fall more in love with this little guy more and more each passing day. It's also rewarding that I'm able to be a stay at home mommy and wife on top of that, and times it's not easy but I'm loving it and enjoying it because not many mommies and wives are able to say that or be a stay at home mommy/wife.

So 5 months in he loves to grab his toes and loves to look at his hands. Baby food has been introduce but has not been easy but we are not giving up. Mickey mouse and music videos are on the top of the list. When you wake up in the morning you make an owl sound to wake mommy and daddy up and it's just to funny. As well as when we walk to your crib, you turn your head to act like you are a sleep. You drink water out of a sippy cup. You love to giggle every once in awhile and mommy got in on video finally. You are getting the hang of rolling over and with practice you will get it down. You love your jump-roo and you play mat because you get the kick the piano, and love to be carry in the backpack! Oh yeah you love bath time and love splashing the water to mommy and daddy.

Can't wait to see what else in store for you, and us and we are enjoying every minute of watching you grow. A few days before you turn 5 months old, you got to ride the swing, went to the park and the aquarium all for the first time, which you loved!

Come back next month to see what else is new with my little family!

Everyday life..involving my new name

You know I'm changing my name once again, but this time I'm keeping as it's my everyday life..so why not change it to Tradition Hispanic Wife...yes I'm the old school Hispanic wife who cooks, I get up and make him breakfast before he leaves to work, than have dinner ready and serve for my husband when he comes home from work. Our home is clean but of course he helps when he can as he works a lot, and when he does cook he can for sure get down. I have notice and there is nothing wrong with it that they there are many wives out there that are not tradition, or is in the newer generation. Than there are some who work a lot hours, but still manage to do what they do and keep they household in Check!

I use to work and still came home to clean and cooked dinner, which many wives/mommies do the same. I'm a stay at home wife and now a mommy which I care for my son,husband, and myself and you know at times I think I'm failing because dinner may not be ready when my husband walks in from work....but I'm not and that's OK as I have our son to care for until my husband comes home from work to help. I also know that if something is not picked up right away it's OK because sooner, than later it will get picked up! I'm also your tradition Hispanic wife who make sure if we are at parties, or just at a get together I make make sure my husband is eating or I will serve him first before he is eating, and than I will eat unleast our son crying I will feed him and once my husband is done he will take over so I can eat.

You know I'm going share a story with you...my grandma is old school and this why I'm who I'm because of her!

When my husband and I were dating we went to my grandma house for thanksgiving one year, well I decided to sit down to eat while he was standing around talking to the guys....no no big mistake my grandma pull the plate from and told me what I was doing? I told her I was eating she said not before him, and I told her he has two hands...lol. Nope that didn't work with her, I got him serve him and took care him before I sit down to eat.

So now here is my new name thanks to my grandma!!

Tradition Hispanic Wife
Who is living everyday life as a stay at home wife and mommy! 

Enjoy!!

Liebster Award

I've been nominate and my first by Lissette over at Adventures with a Silly baby...thank you!

What is Liebster Award? It's an award to promote blogs and help bring more readers. 

How it works? A blogger sees a blog they like and "nominate" them. Than the nominee will answers some questions, than once they are done will nominate other bloggers, alerting their readers to other blogs they like. It's a great award to allow you to gain more readers, as well as they get to know the blogger behind the blog, but here are few rules you need to follow.....

Here are my answers for Lissette over at Adventures of a Silly baby, at the end I'll have a list of people I have nominate.

How long have you been blogging? 

I have been blogging since 2012 but really got into it after I found out my husband and I were expecting our first child, now that he's here I feel like life is a lot more exciting. 

What was your inspiration for your blog?

Being first time parents and just living life, and creating memories with our son and for our son. 

What do you enjoy most about blogging?

It's my world and my own time for my journal, where I can write how I feel, how it's going and just put anything down that what I have in mind and share with other bloggers.

What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time? 

I love to turn up the music and just dance and act a fool like no one is watching. 

What fictional character do you wish you were more like and why?

Cinderella..because her life was a bit rough but at the end she got her perfect fairytale, and that's exactly how I feel and love about my life and know everything happens for a reason and not only that to enjoy it to the fullest because life is just to short! 

If you had access to a time machine, would you choose to use it? What era would you choose to visit?

I would use it to bring my grandpa back as he passed away a few months after my first birthday in 1987. I know and feel if he was alive till this day my grandma would be just a little happier as she never remarried, and things would be totally different with their kids(aunts and uncles)...lets just say I don't think they would be taking advantage of using my grandma if he was alive. As well I would had love for him to meet his other grandkids and all of his great grandkids.  

What is your favorite household "duty?"

Honestly I love the cook, and wash clothes!

If you could go on a vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go? 

Tour all of Europe which include sight seeing, try different things, learning more about their culture, and make it fun but yet create and make memories. 

Share one thing that makes you obnoxiously happy?

Being a mom and a wife 

If you could have any career in the world, what would it be and why?

I would love to one day be the director of my own day care, but be not to expense but enjoyable with a great learning experience for not only the kids but for the whole family. 

If you had a chance to say one thing that would be broadcast to everyone in the world, what would it be? 

Love life and live it to the fullest by enjoying every minute of it with a smile. 

I will nominate bloggers and then will share their answers to my questions! Here are my question...
1. Your blog name...why and how did you pick your name? 
2. If you had an opportunity to have your own movie, who would play you and your family? 
3.  Why do you blog, and do you like most about it? 
4. How long have you been blogging? 
5. Favorite memory you have for yourself or with your family? 
6. What is your favorite/TV quote of all time, and why? 
7. If you were able to talk to your loved one in heaven, who would it be and why? 
8. One word you live by, and why? 
9. Favorite Disney movie of all time? 
10. What do you like most about blogging, and why? 
11. If you could trade places one day, who would trade with and why?
