(gentle music) - Hi, my name is Mariely.

My husband, Camilo, and I have three kids: Maxwell and Sebastian, who are seven, and Mateo, who's five.

Being full-time, working parents, we have very busy schedules, but learning is a priority in our family.

I'm always looking for fun ways to incorporate learning into our daily activities.

We love to cook, and cooking reinforces what they're learning in school.

Looking at the recipe allows them to build their vocabulary and reading skills.

- Cup dry milk.

- [Mariely] Is it milk?

- Mix?

- There's also so much math involved.

Now I need half of a cup.

What two numbers make 10?

- Six and four!

- [Mariely] We are a bilingual family and we practice our second language at home.

- Diez!

- Diez, good job, buddy, high five.

Love it.

On a daily basis, we reflect upon our gratitude, and it helps with reading and writing.

- I am thankful for the park.

- We love to be creative as a family.

Drawing is a great way for my kids to express themselves visually and verbally.

And it's just a fun time for us to bond together as a family.
