Happy New Year Friends! This is what I’m currently doing on the first day of the year…

Listening to my washer spin as I blog away, I do not know why, but hubby woke up EARLY this morning and is doing laundry!

Loving CROSSFIT, exactly a month ago my sister took me with her to a free class and needless to say I fell in love with crossfit, Dear yoga, I will come back…. I promise!

Thinking… I am a thinker, always thinking, and this morning I woke up thinking about this upcoming year. My plans, my hubby’s plans, our kids, we all have dreams, wishes, ideas, and thinking about how it will all roll out! Praying and Expecting a fruitful and happy year!

Wanting, Biscochos!!! No one made biscochos for Christmas this year and I have been craving them since then. I pulled up a recipe from online yesterday and they came out OK, they look pretty… taste, not what i was expecting, but still good. Check them out in my IG account here, I had so much fun baking them with my 4 year old daughter! “Mommy, it’s like playing with play-doh!” Those are the moments I truly live for!

Needing COFFEE!! I thrive on Coffee, and it’s still brewing. I love how it makes my kitchen smell. Now only if coffee tasted the way it smelled 🙂

One little word: LOVE, love God, love myself, love my family, love my job, and love those around me!  This is what keeps me grounded and rooted. Something we all need, especially in today’s  society!

Speaking of LOVE, who doesn’t love a good giveaway, especially a TPT $30 gift certificate? My friends Suzy, Amy, and I, from On the go Teacher Mama and Albuquerque Amy and Academics are hosting a New Year’s Blog Hop, giveaway, and freebies.

      Happy New Year Lorraine, loving the coffee IV idea….. I can drink coffee all day, even at night right before bed and still go to sleep. That Caramel BrĂťlĂŠe sounds good, I've never had one! Getting one today for sure! 😉

Scrapbooking and came across these “old” pictu Scrapbooking and came across these “old” pictures of myself. As I reflect and think about my life up until now, what would I tell my 25-year-old self….
🤍I’d say:
“Mija, breathe. You’re stronger than you know, and your story is just beginning. Trust God’s timing, don’t rush the process, and never doubt your worth. The setbacks you’re facing now will one day be the reason someone else keeps going. Keep going, your future self is so proud of you. You’ll raise brilliant children, stand before classrooms and conferences, and walk boldly into rooms you never imagined of. Keep going. God is with you every step, every struggle, every sacred win.” 💪🏽✨🌻

What’s your story? What would you tell your 25-year-old self? 🤍

Closing out the last week of June, catching my breath before Jump Start begins! #nmnbctstrong 

From the NEA-New Mexico Leadership Academy, to celebrating my son’s 21st birthday, sending Aviannah to Youth Camp, soaking in the LEAD Women’s Conference with my beautiful mom and church family, attending the NM NBCT Network Officers’ Retreat, and squeezing in my sister’s 40th birthday—this month has been a whirlwind of blessings! 😮‍💨

My mom raised us to be strong, unique, and yes amazing. Thank you, Mom! We love you deeply. And Happy Anniversary to you and Dad, your love continues to inspire us.

Through it all, I just have to say: I LOVE MY LIFE ✨

Learning, reflecting, applying! •Leadership is Learning, reflecting, applying! 

•Leadership isn’t about washing your hands of challenges and getting “rid of people so easily”— it’s about rolling up your sleeves and mentoring through them. When leaders avoid hard conversations, they create cultures of gossip, favoritism, and fear.

✨True leadership is about guiding people, not guarding your ego. Let’s build spaces where accountability, growth, transparency, and courage lead the way.

Today I was one of several teachers honored with t Today I was one of several teachers honored with the Jose Serna Foundation Teacher Impact Award, nominated by my former student, Joel.

In my years of teaching, I’ve been blessed to receive several awards — but this one… this one brought me to tears.
Because when a student, years later, says you made a difference, it hits your heart in a way nothing else can.

Joel, thank you for seeing me, for remembering, and for reminding me why I am a teacher.
It was never about recognition, it is about love, belief, and the hope that somehow, something I gave would stay with my students long after the school year ended. Today, you showed me that it did.
And for that, I will carry this moment forever. Keep shinning Joel, your voice matters! Sigue adelante! 
LCHS football coaches what an incredible impact you are making with our students! Thank you!

Generational faith is a powerful gift—one that is lived, not just taught. As I reflect on 2 Timothy 1:5–6, I’m reminded of the strong women in my life whose faith lit the path for me, my grandmother and mother.

This verse from 2 Timothy resonates deeply with my heart because it reflects the  LEGACY OF FAITH passed down through generations of strong, praying women in my OWN life. 💝 Just like Timothy was shaped by the sincere faith of his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice, I too have been profoundly formed by the steadfast faith of my grandmother and my mother.

Their quiet strength, their whispered prayers, their unwavering trust in God during both storms and seasons of joy—these have built the foundation of my own faith. I can still remember the way my grandma spoke life through Scripture, the way my mother modeled grace, resilience, and love through every hardship. These women didn’t just believe in God—they LIVED their faith, and their example now echoes in how I raise my own children. ✨

This verse reminds me that the gift of faith is not only inherited, but also ignited. I am called to fan it into flame—to live boldly, serve faithfully, and love deeply, just as they did. And now, I pray that same sincere, burning faith will dwell in my children, carrying on the legacy of faith that was planted generations ago. For His, your Glory and Honor ABBA Father!

To my grandma and mom, Thank you❣️
✨ Happy 14th birthday to our beautiful baby girl ✨ Happy 14th birthday to our beautiful baby girl — You are filled with grace, strength, and a spirit that shines brighter with each passing year. Your middle name reminds us of your purpose — a Princess who leads and commands — and we see it in the way you carry yourself, the love you give, and the determination in your heart.

💕Watching you grow into the young woman God created you to be is the greatest gift. We are so proud of who you are and who you’re becoming. Keep walking in truth, in boldness, and in the knowledge that you are deeply loved.

“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.” – Psalm 46:5

✨Keep shining, sweet girl. The world is better with you in it.
Love you — endlessly ❣️
