In Spanish this phrase literally means "pure life" but is more commonly thought of as meaning "full of life." Costa Ricans use this phrase to express a philosophy of strong community, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties with good spirits, enjoying life slowly, and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike. This blog is about our life... Pura Vida!

Tis the season...

for Christmas tree shopping,

decorating the house,


staying warm on the cold days,
and being very thankful for all that we have.
Dear God, Thank you for grandma and grandpa,
cartoons, the holidays,
Dora, and my toys. AMEN!

-Maria's bedtime prayer earlier this week

Merry Christmas everyone!
