Meet me!

Welcome! I'm Maribel owner, editor and author of Stroller Adventures. Soon I will be 35  years old and have worn many hats. But now I am a wife, stay at home mother of 2, the chef at our home, decorator of our home, driver to our kids and most importantly the CEO of our household. 

I graduated from College with a Bachelor's Degree in International Business and worked in Logistics, Import and Export for 6 years. I am of Cuban-Mexican heritage and proud of it. I was raised fully bilingual and tri-cultural.  

During college I met my husband, we've been married for 12 years. He is my soul mate and fully supports and understands me. After our daughter was born we decided that I would be a full time stay at home mom to her.  You can read her birth story here.  4 years after, we welcomed our son, he made our family feel complete.

I first named this blog Stroller Adventures in SoCal due to my toddler son being always in his stroller on outings {hence the logo}, however we are slowly taking adventures without the stroller and we no longer reside in SoCal. We are now in NoCal and soon relocating to Costa Rica!

Stroller Adventures has grown and evolved, which is why I rebranded. If you look in the dictionary the word Stroller you'd find that it means "a person who takes a leisurely walk". Well that is me, I am taking a walk through life. Enjoying all it has to offer, the only constant in my life is that there is always adventure! 

There is always a lesson to be learned an event to be enjoyed and an adventure to be had. 

Stroller Adventures is where I share all the places we visit as a family, my favorite family recipes and some I make up along the way. Due to my love of cultures, languages and history I sometimes post about fun facts regarding a specific holiday or event. 

I am also on a journey to lose weight. I love sharing my adventures as a parent, after all it is a daily adventure... you never know what kind of day you are going to have! 

Occasionally I will share products that have made my/our life easier and full of adventures :D

Both our kids are very active and inquisitive they love exploring their world and learning how things are made and why the wheels turn. They are also very analytical which is why we love taking adventures, to learn more. 

I have a passion for visiting Museums, zoos, aquariums, going to theme parks, taking weekend trips near and far {is 600 miles far?} and am raising our kids fully bilingual {reading, writing and speaking} English/Spanish. 

I love cooking meals from scratch and mostly prepare the recipes that were taught to me by my mother, grandmother and aunts. Family is my priority and making new memories is what we love to do. 

I am a little obsessed with nail polish

makeup, kate spade, my iPhone, bike riding, ice skating, swimming, being comfortable and on any given day you will find me wearing jeans and a "cute" top with either flats that usually have some detail {bow, flower} or chuck taylor's that is unless it is cold out I will wear uggs :) I have discovered that now I can wear wedges and you will also see me attempt to be taller than my 5'1 real self ;)

I am fascinated by the Internet since it's boom in the 90s and social media, actually in a way it is how I met Adventure Dad you can read all about it here. Which is why you may find me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and reading my adventures. 
I hope you visit again.
