Happy First Day of Autumn!

Today is the official start of Fall season.  One of my favorite seasons.  I love when the leaves change colors, the smell of the crisp, cool air and when it's time to wear sweater and boots.  I love my sweaters and boots.  It's so comfy.  I love to feel cozy and warm while the air is nice and cool. I also this season because there's so many  places to go apple and pumpkin picking.  My kids love that.  I'm planning an apple & pumpkin picking outing with my family for this weekend so I'm … [Read more...]

Do you buy the extended warranty for your appliances?

My husband and I always buy the extended warranty on our appliances because "you just never know".  Appliances go bad with normal wear and tear or they just die out.  That is a fact.  So even though it's an extra expense, it covers your item for the life of the warranty which is usually about 2-3 years.   In my opinion, it is always a good idea to get one.  Most of the time we use it and sometimes we don't.  It's one of those things where "it's better to be safe than sorry".  One of the items … [Read more...]

Bills, Bills, Bills.

Everyone has them, right?  Do we like them?  No way!  I know I hate bills but it's a part of life, whether we like it or not.  We all have our month to month bills like electricity, cable (most people), phone, rent/mortgage, etc. and there are many people that have credit card debt too.  Unfortunately, I am one of those people.  I don't want to put my financial business out in the web but my husband and I owe quite a few. Sometimes we try to pay more than the minimum but sometimes it's hard to … [Read more...]

T.G.I.F.

Yes, today is Friday!! That means I can sleep in for the next two days!  I am not a morning person at all.  I love my sleep and when I have to wake up, I'm kinda grumpy for the next hour but after that first hour, I'm ok.  I've always been like that.  I remember when i was in H.S., I would wake up at 6AM and snooze for about 10-15 minutes than after the snoozes, I was fully awake and ready for the day. I'm also not a night person.  I used to be but that was before I had kids.  Now that I have … [Read more...]

Random Thursday Thirteen

I've been reading blogs and organizing my desk all day.  So while I was reading my favorite blogs, I noticed that many people have a "Thursday Thirteen" on their blog.  So I thought, why not add that to mine too.  So here it is: I'm not feeling good today.  I have back pain. I wish I had a maid to do my laundry. My son had a half a day today so I made him do some chores. The Rachael Ray show that I was in (yesterday's show), didn't record on my DVR. I'm really upset because of it.  I … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday Papi!

Today's my Dad's birthday.  He would've been 56 years old.  Even though he is not here with me in real life, I feel he is with me in spirits.  He died 14 years ago, at the young age of 42, from complications with diabetes -  Just a week after we came back from our vacation from Florida.  It was a HUGE shocker to the whole family because he looked so healthy.  No one knew he was sick. He was always very thoughtful, lovable and a very caring person.  Everyone that knew him, loved him.  He was … [Read more...]

Sunday Sales!

If you love that four letter word - Sales, then we have something in common.  I try to buy things that are on sale most of the times.  I can't stand paying for something that is full price.  So I always sign up to get emails to different stores to let me know what is on sale for that week.  So I am here to let you know what's on sale this week, both online and in-stores. Target If you spend $50 on kids clothes, shoes and school uniforms at Target.com, you get free shipping.  PLUS, you get … [Read more...]

Ch-ch-changes…

I've been going through some changes as you can see.  I still haven't found the "look" that I want.  Until I get it right, you will see many different themes.  You know, maybe I should consider paying someone to redo my whole blog look.  I just don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.  I know I like New York and coffee so it needs to come together somehow.  Hopefully I get the look I really like in the end. So does anyone have any ideas for me?  I would GREATLY appreciate it.  In the … [Read more...]
