#McFarland USA: How Does Your Familia Inspire You? #MiFamilia #Giveaway

May 31, 2015 in Giveaways & Reviews

This is part of a sponsored campaign with DiMe Media and Buena Vista Home Entertainment. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

How does your familia inspire you?

My outlook on life has definitely changed since I became a parent almost 14 years ago and my goal is to teach my kids the importance of family, being there for one another and working hard to achieve their goals.

kid

Mi familia (or family) is my life and is at the heart of almost every decision I make on a daily basis. They inspire me to work hard so that they can have opportunities in life to do things others may not.  I learned from a young age that things are not handed to you in life and that you must work in order to achieve goals or things that you want.

child

And this motivation stems back to what I learned from my grandparents, whom we lived next to growing up.  They didn’t have access to some of the things we have now and work and determination is what pushed them to succeed in life.

Today, my kids motivate me!

A post shared by Amber (@mamasitaal)

Because of all I’ve learned, I want my children to learn the values I did.  Education is important.  Giving up is not an option.  You really can be anything that you want to be and having the heart and attitude of a champion will get you far.

mcfarlandusa

 

Champions can come from anywhere and Disney’s movie McFarland proves it!  I had the chance to check out this movie and my kids did as well.  And oh what valuable lessons can be learned from this one!

Based on the true story of a 1987 cross country team from predominantly Mexican-American McFarland High School, in McFarland, California, the film stars Kevin Costner as Jim White, the school’s coach, who leads the team to win a state championship. The common themes from the movie are inspiration and family and how these two combine to motivate these unlikely athletes to a fantastic victory. The story is not only about a personal sports victory, but how a community was inspired to keep pursuing their dreams in a new country as well. This real story will be available for the first time on Blu-ray Comb Pack & Disney Movies Anywhere this June! And we are giving a lucky reader the chance to win McFarland USA on DVD.

Who motivates you to be your best? Check out Disney’s McFarland USA for a true inspiration and make sure you connect with them on Facebook to learn more about this story of family support and determination!

    Being there for one another …. yeah, not something my family has done for me but something that because of that experience my husband and I will surely teach and lead by example for our kids. Family is important and it’s sad that not all people believe or live this. 🙁

    My grandparents, my husband and my children are all my inspirations, but after reading this I just have to comment on on a certain part of your post…

    “Education is important. Giving up is not an option. You really can be anything that you want to be and having the heart and attitude of a champion will get you far.”

    That is completely brilliant. I literally paused to reread that over again because it’s so true and such a powerful message to equip your child/ren with. It’s one that I am teaching to my children as well and it’s so refreshing to know that I’m not alone in my quest.

    You, my friend, are also an inspiration.

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.
