Touring Morales


I was able to make it out to one of the areas of Morales where the psychologists are working with families with children with disabilities.  This area was Tetela du Vulcan.  Yes that means Volcano.  I was as close to a volcano as I had ever been, but I had not even got that close, it’s not like I looked down inside the volcano or anything.  But it was cool!!
            I was able to see a part of Mexico that most foreigners don’t see, it wasn’t a resort, it wasn’t a huge city, but it was lovely.  The people are so friendly, so grateful and it truly made me appreciate all the luxuries I have in my life.  I think it’s a great experience and it changed my outlook on a lot of things.
            I was able to go to two villages that are built on the side of the volcano, which really isn’t as threatening as I pictured it.  I totally thought that you would smell the sulfur in the air because a hundred feet up the volcano would be smoking. I think we were probably miles from the top of the volcano in each village I visited. 
            





I am very glad I was able to go on this trip, it was what I hope won’t turn to be, a once in a life time experience.

Day in the Life Friday Five

Today is another Friday Five Link Up with the wonderful ladies Mar, Cynthia and Courtney !! Check out their blogs for some great reads!! So happy I found this link up!! It's hard for me to chronicle my days, because at this moment in time they are never exactly the same. Some I send the kids to school and relish in the silence, some Lil man is home and we are constantly on the go doing one activity or another.  Some days are weekends, everyone is home and we've got playdates and sports and activities planned. That being said, there are things I do every day, regardless of what's actually going on, they are routine and they are my favourite parts of everyday. 1) Waking up and checking my phone.  I check my phone for weather, for texts, for emails and sometimes twitter and Instagram.  I love rolling over and checking my phone before I roll out of bed, it's a way to make human connection.  It's dumb, but it's not, I also check my calendar to make sure I...

Ok I'm going to join a link up and follow along for the next few Friday's posting my Friday Five!! I learned about this Link Up through Run Salt Run , and she follows along with Mar On the Run .  Both are great blogs for runners which is how I found them through a google search!! You can see their Link Up Badge on the right hand side of my blog!! If you are interested in doing a Link Up, even starting one of our own for Alberta (if you are an Alberta Blogger) let me know I'd totally be down for doing that. The first topic is your favourite city, well I've travelled a bit in my life and I've lived in a few different cities, but my favourite still is Lake Tahoe (which technically may not be a city, but it's my favourite place!! So here are the Top Five Reasons I love Lake Tahoe!! 1. It's location What could be better then a community nestled in the mountains with a huge lake at it's centre? But that's not all, it's right on the border of C...

So each week they have a different topic to blog about and other bloggers will join the topic and conversation so you can read many different perspectives!! It's really cool, make sure you check them out!! This Week's topic, What's in your gym bag. Ok I don't have a gym bag I do have a bag that I will fill before I leave for the gym but depending on the activity there are different things included.  But In the spirit of packing a gym bag here are my Five Things I could not do without at the gym 1. Water Bottle I have to stay hydrated at the gym, whether I'm in a class, running the track, swimming or playing soccer, I never head to the gym without my water bottle. One time my water bottle broke on the way to the gym, I dropped it on the road, so I stopped at the store to buy some water, because there is no way in the wor...
