I’ve spent the past 10 minutes figuring out how to caption this post. Tears are falling down my face while I write and go back and delete the couple words I seem to put together. I lost my dad two month ago. I have the biggest angel alongside me guiding me as he did here in earth. I like to see the silver linings. Always. And I’m grateful I got to spend close to 2 months with him before he left to heaven. I got to take care of him. I got to say goodbye without having to say goodbye. I get to stay in Mexico until the end of the year to support my mom. I know he would have wanted it this way. Life gave me the best dad. The most caring, selfless and patient. An amazing human being. And for that, I’ll be forever grateful. I usually don’t post personal things in this account but this little rock garden we did in his honor reminds me of this beautiful community. I’ve been wanting to share it but until today I felt like doing it. My sibling and I used to call him Tulito while we were little. We don’t know where the word came from but it was a special nickname for him. We passed it on to our kids and that’s how our kids call him. I wish everyone is doing well and staying healthy and safe. We’ll be back eventually. 💫 Until next time! xoxo 💗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOkXeeBQSK/?igshid=6ymu2iwihllw

My kind of afternoon! 😍🎨💕 I sometimes wish Lennon loved art as much as I do, but I embrace and accept who he is. He was hesitant to paint today, he said it was hard (he’s a perfectionist at heart) and I kept reminding him (and my nice and nephew) that there is no such thing as messing it up in art. We turned oops into beautiful oops together and helped turned his perspective around and he ended up having a great time! 🙂 What’s not to love about ending up with rainbow hands?! 🌈🖐🏼 (at Torreon, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDIeF19hwyL/?igshid=1ngoq65jr24w3

Bullet ant 🐜 - I have a couple projects we’ve done while quarantining and I’ve been wanting to share Lennon’s 1st grade final project with you. 😊 He had to become an expert about an animal or insect and he picked the bullet ant after learning about it while watching some YouTube videos of the worse insect stings. We read and researched about it and I helped him make a stuffed bullet any out of a sock, rubber bands, pipe cleaners and googly eyes. 👀💕 He then made an interview to his bullet ant and his dad helped with the video production. It was a fun family project to wrap up the school year. 😊 I have to say, that even though I was one of the over 40 million people who lost their job during this pandemic, I feel lucky to have enjoyed to being able to be a present mom during these challenging times and focus on his education in a calm-not-crazy-how-am-I-going-to-survive-this-super-stressed way. Always looking for the silver linings! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCc_F5PhMGS/?igshid=1o1d7p07zd8vg

Catching up on school specials. Because we can’t just wing it in art class. 🙃 These were supposed to be landscape paper collages turned into “creative” landscapes... more like a fun decoupage process art activity! I jumped in to make my own too, because why he gets to have all the fun?! I was extra kind by sharing with Lennon my precious collection of @houseindustries catalogs to make our art projects. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgjGh0B0fF/?igshid=1qrjc6a87626y
