Mango Limeade with Chia
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Disney Studios. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
These days life just moves too fast and we sometimes miss the little things that happen everyday. We get caught up in our work, school projects, and raising our kids that we can forget why we are doing it all.
Once in a while you have to kick of your heels and enjoy the bare necessities of life. Family, friends, love, adventure, fun and health are important parts of life too. Lately, we slowed it down a bit and have taken time off to enjoy our evenings and weekends. We spend more time with family and friends. We plan new adventures, vacations and day trips. We also take turns in deciding what snacks and drinks we will have for our time spent together.
This week we invited little cousin Sophie over for movie night and made some Jungle Mango Lemonade with Chia. We watched The Jungle Book Diamond Edition, which is now available for the first time on Blue RayTM and Digital. We absolutely love to watch this movie. It helps us relax and remember what family and friends are all about. We learned about the bare necessities and the importance of taking time to enjoy the simple things in life. We sing and dance! We just enjoy each other’s company and forget about our strife.
If you follow us on Instagram, you might have noticed we’ve been tagging some photos with the hashtag #lomasvital and #barenecessities. It’s a fun photo a day challenge where I had the opportunity to share the most important things in my life. Follow along and participate!
