About Me

Hey friend! Thanks for stopping by, I am Liz. I am from the Dominican Republic and I have been living in Utah for almost eight years (CRAZY!) but still I am an Island girl whose best place to be is at the beach. I am a mom, a Flamenco dancer, I have a degree in Construction Management, I am a healthy food enthusiast and I love to cook.

                                                Its time for you to meet the Valenzuela gang!


This is my husband DAVID, he is from Mexico City, he is currently an MBA student at Brigham Young University, and will be finishing in April 2016. He loves sports and is a die hard Boston fan. He enjoys playing basketball, soccer, eating, reading. Although he might seem too serious at first, he is a teaser, and loves to have a good time. I am proud to call him "my other half"

This is latest and so far only addition to our family, DIEGO. He is almost 2, he is a very active little boy who keeps me on my toes, he loves to learn, loves to play with his daddy and is obsessed with balls. He is a charmer, and did I say he has the best hair ever. I am jealous!

Why Passionfruit Mood? 

My favorite fruit in the world is passionfruit, it has a tart, sour flavor, and it's probably not very good when you eat by itself, but I love anything with passion fruit in it. I love the smell, and how beautiful this fruit looks. Passion fruit reminds me of home, it brings back great memories of joy, my wonderful childhood, and it makes me think of the paradise I come from that I miss dearly. This is my spot to record good memories that I can cherish forever just like I cherish this fruit.
