Both of my parents worked while I was growing up. My father instilled in me that with hard work comes awesome rewards. My father and four of his friends started a company. The company was then bought out by his current employer. He owns part of this other company and works really hard for everything him and my mother has. My mom become a stay at home grandmother when we found out we were pregnant with our first Haley. My father has been able to provide not only his child, but his grandchildren an awesome life. We have been able to go on family vacations because of him which my husband and myself could not currently afford. My father works so hard and that is why I am going to school, working, and raising my family. I want to be able to provide for my family the way he has provided for his.

We celebrate the main holidays
Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. When I was growing up there was really no religious celebration with any holiday. However, due to my husband I have embraced the importance of Christmas and Easter. We do go to church with his family for those holidays.

I have recently started doing yoga. I had my twins via c-section and found that some of the workouts I did before hand hurt my c-section scar. I started doing Yoga and have enjoyed it. I also like getting my kids involved with yoga. We do kid yoga together.

I believe in the idea that energy can help heal you. I go and visit a Reiki Master about every 3 months and she puts "good energy" into areas that my body needs it. This is very much a spiritual and personal belief. It taps into your seven chakras and i truly believe it helps me relax, clear my head, and figure out what I need in life. This is a new thing I have recently started doing and honestly I love doing it

I was not brought up practicing a certain religion. However, my husband was brought up Catholic. I have learned to incorporate some of his practices into our kids lives. He is teaching myself and the kids how to pray before bed. We are also going to have our children baptized. I myself believe in a higher power not necessarily "God". I  feel like I am more a spiritual person.  I believe that the energy you put out is the energy you receive back. So if you are mean, rude, or unkind that is what the world will give back to you. That is why I leave by the motto your vibe attracts your tribe.

My mother has a lot of influence on me and the way I am. She is very passionate. She was a teacher and loved helping children. She also raised us to treat people with respect and to treat everyone the same. She also has a huge heart and gives to those in need. Due to her I am very much active in standing up for what I believe in. I also stand up for equality. She is also the reason I have no problem helping someone out when they need it because there might be a time when I need help.

I was brought up cooking. I would cook with my grandparents and my parents. We made pies, cookies, and Thanksgiving dinner. My grandfather was a chief. That is were we as a family bonded. That is also how my husbands family bonded. He did a lot of cooking with his family growing up. We spend lots of time teaching our kids to cook and are passing along family recipes that we love. We make a lot of Spanish and Italian dishes. Our favorite dish to make as a family is pastelillos.

I am a mother on four beautiful children. Haley (5), Felipe Jr (3), and One year old twins Avery and Maddox. I'm married to my husband Felipe. We are a mixed family. I am Italy, Irish, German, Swedish, and Native American (according to my grandmother). My husband is Puerto Rican. We have blended our two cultures together. This was a little interesting at first because his family celebrates everything. My family only celebrated the big holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Needless to say we have learned to give and take over the 10 years we have been together.
