This weekend was spent making new family memories. It was my youngest brother’s graduation, which meant I got a nice visit from my mother who lives in Cali. We spent most of the weekend cooking ( tamales, chicken mole, and all the fixings). We were able to host everyone in our new home, which was really nice. I was also very happy to find out I was nominated by the lovely girls at essentjewels for a lovely blog award, it was really the icing on the cake.
Thank you ladies from essentjewels!

I love mole and tamales, that definitely sounds like our home during holidays, I can’t wait to have my family visit from Cali!
Yes, something about them surely makes one feel at home. It was great for my mom to come visit our new place. I am sure you will feel the same once you get settled.
