Recycling Kids Artwork
I've been recycling my kids artworks in the last five years and actually it's one of the event I look forward during the year. It's like Christmas in June! What do you do with your kids artworks?

Whenever we’re on a road trip, camping, or at the park, we love playing frisbee with the kids and our puppy. But a glowing frisbee at night is just more fun! I got mine here.
Asian Lettuce Wraps
One of my favorite easy and quick meal that I always make on Mondays (recovery day after my not so healthy eating weekends). Similar recipe here. Enjoy!

Day trip to San Francisco with my clan is always fun. This time was extra colorful with Color Factory. So much to see and explore. Definitely check them out!

Easy Fish Tacos
This post is sponsored by Gorton's
My kids always ask for mommy's fish tacos. And guess what night they have them? Taco Tuesdays! I make them with Gorton's Smart & Crunchy breaded fish sticks with homemade easy slaw. It's always a hit and the best part is that they are half the fat, without skipping the flavor. They are easy to make and kids can help with very little supervision. A great dish for entertaining as appetizers as well.
You'll want to keep this recipe!
Ingredients:
1 bag of Gorton's Smart & Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks
1 bag of 12 small corn or flour tortillas
1 bag of 3 color deli slaw
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 cup of chipotle mayonnaise (I use Sir Kensington's)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 avocado
1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place the fish sticks in the oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes. While the fish sticks are cooking, mix the 3 color cole slaw with salt, black pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice and sugar. Set aside. Heat the tortillas on medium and set aside. Remove fish sticks from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Assemble the tacos by spreading a small amount of the chipotle mayonnaise on the corn tortilla. Next add a tablespoon of slaw and top it with two fish sticks.
Optional: You can add slices of avocado or use them for decoration.
Enjoy!

#beautifulbuttough
Being beautiful and tough mother means being your genuine self while always being presence for your kids. I had no idea how hard (yet amazing) motherhood would be until I had kids. Grateful for all the heart exploding moments and even the tough ones. To all the mamas out there. We are all momlikethat!

Headed to momchella weekend. I just hope there's ice cream and naps (in that order ❥).
