The Rosas-Standring Family

I am so excited that that things seem to be going really well. Ruben loves being a sommelier at Dreams Tulum and it is something that he is really good at. Anyone who has met him knows that he is definitely that hot Latin lover looking kind of guy, and when he comes up in his great suit with his large wine medallion I just love it. I love that he is actually doing something he really has an interested in. We used to love to go to wine country when we lived in San Francisco and in fact had our honeymoon there.


Then there is the other exciting news that I am going to be writing for www.todotulum.com. This is the one of the largest and most popular website in Tulum and they are wonderful partners with so many great businesses. And I get to do something very similar to what I am doing for my own project www.TulumLiving.com. Ad even better, they are really happy about what I am doing with my website and see it as a valuable service for Tulum so there is no conflict of interest.

And I am getting more responses to my babysitting in Tulum and that is great. I love to do it and it is a great way to make some money. And I love the idea of a couple having a magical dinner in paradise- on the beach- in the moonlight- WITHOUT the kids.

We got to stay at a very beautiful lace on Tulum Beach called Millamores, formally Casa Magna. This is Pablo Escobar's old place and it was amazing.


With the growth of some great new friends and some really positive out looks- and just feeling at home here. We are so happy right now. I know that I will not be happy every day all the time, but I am so thankful that it has been so much more often.

Tulum is good. I am bummed I have been so busy to post stuff but trust me... we have been having so many good days that when I do... it will be worth the wait.

I know that when my husband and I go on vacation we love taking our kids but there are times that we would love to have a quite lunch or dinner just the 2 of us. Especially here in Tulum, Mexico where there are so many romantic restaurants on the beach. These romantic meals can be thwarted by your kids no matter how wonderful they are.

There are so many activities in this area that really should be experienced but sometimes cannot be due to the ages of some of the kids. The ruins are beautiful and wonderful to explore, but a 2 year old just does not care. Going diving or snorkeling at one of the amazing cenotes is a truly remarkable thrill, but if you are traveling with kids, this is not possible. An ATV tour through the jungle may not be the best idea with a 2 year old. And a dinner on the beach is a highlight of many trips, but one made more enjoyable when all you have to do is stare at each other rather then asking your kids to stop throwing carrots at each other and to please eat their dinner.

I know that I love all the time that I get to spend with my kids when we are on vacation, but there are certain times that I treasure just with my husband. And I want everyone who visits to have a few of those remarkable moments.

I am an American woman living in Tulum, Mexico with my Mexican husband and my 2 children 5 & 4. We know so many great things to do both in our home and around town. I was formally certified in CPR, infant CPR and first aid, although I have not renewed here in Mexico since moving here almost a year ago.

If you are interested in getting a babysitter while you are here, please let me know. I have a very flexible schedule and love kids. If you would like to set something up or you have any questions and would like some more information, please contact me. I can be reached at 415-738-0739 (USA number- no international charges) or at mindyintulum@yahoo.com.

Tulum is a magical place that has so many experiences that need to be treasured. I would be happy to help in any way that I can.
