Image: graur codrin / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Finally! My prayers have been answered. Thank you Lord! I tweeted a few weeks ago that I had to get a fine-needle biopsy because of an abnormal ultrasound (results showed spots of calcium deposits) of my thyroid. I stated I was scared on Twitter and I received so many heartfelt replies and concerns, I was beyond overwhelmed with all the "Twitter love," it was amazing. You guys made me feel so much better. THANK YOU ALL WHO REPLIED!! You know who … [Read more...]

September 25, 2010 by 13 Comments
After seeing Go Red Por Tu Corazon on TV last week, I have to be honest and say I've set my mind to eating right and cooking healthy for my family. I don't want to have heart disease at an early age and I certainly don't want my family to suffer from that either. I was so happy when I was invited to an event about making one night a week a sandwich night with the Deen Brothers from the Food Network. I chose the Tuna Fish Sandwich from the event because it is tasty, healthy and very easy to … [Read more...]

Yesterday I attended an event called Sandwich Night With The Deen Brothers (Paula Deen's boys Jamie & Bobby).

The purpose of the event was to show people that serving sandwiches can be a quick and easy solution for dinnertime. It's both easy on our wallets and our waistlines ;). The Deen Brothers … [Read more...]

Circa 1983 I ADORE my abuela (grandma) and I know she adores me. If I didn't get to spend the weekend with her, I was one upset kid. I loved spending time with her and playing practical jokes on her too. This photo was taken by my uncle and it was my idea to pretend to spill my drink on her head. What's funny is that I would've NEVER had done that because although she was a very sweet lady and knew I was a jokester, she would've KILLED me!! But it was only a joke for the picture. … [Read more...]

A few months ago I won a giveaway from mommypoppins.com for a 2-night, 3-day stay in the Galleria at Split Rock Resort at Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania. I was so happy (Thank you Mommy Poppins!) that I finally won a much needed mini vacation being that we didn't do much all summer because of our busy schedule. During this past summer, I was trying to think which week would be perfect for our mini vacation. I opted to leave it for the last few days of August to say a nice farewell to Summer. … [Read more...]
