Alondra Gaspar 4/15/2018 10:09 PMThis weekend I walked to the public library with my nephew and checked out books, then we walked to the near by ice cream shop because it was such a nice day and REALLY hot in Escondido. -
Alondra Gaspar 4/09/2018 4:18 PMThis weekend I gave less screen time a shot. On Saturday, overtime I got the urge to use social media or watch Netflix, etc., I read a book instead. I really enjoy reading and I haven't had time lately but I gave myself time this weekend to do what I really like.-
Ali Taberham 4/09/2018 10:43 PMI love this! I definitely need to make more time for that.

Alondra Gaspar 4/03/2018 8:24 PMI read a book today instead of going on my phone for social media or using my computer to watch TV shows. It was really nice just to sit outside and take in the words of a book without any technological interruptions. It was great! -
Alondra Gaspar 3/26/2018 12:12 PMI've had a pretty mellow week so far and I tried to get out instead of investing my time in watching movies or Netflix. So went out to OB at the Dog beach for about and hour and then got an organic and local lunch at OB Peoples market. -
Alondra Gaspar 3/13/2018 4:34 PMOver spring break I tried to eat organic and local. It was a little difficult but easier than I would have thought.

I purchased foods and veggies and even local flowers. on that Tuesday I bought vegan Mexican food from one of the stands and it was fantastic! I had veggie tacos with green salsa and vegan horchata. -

Harry Watkins 2/04/2018 3:25 PMGood work Alondra! I also have been turning off the shower while I soap, scrub and shampoo. It IS more work, but yes, we ARE saving a lot of water! We can do it! :-)
