Last weekend my little one and I were invited by Mama Drama NY for a fun-filled afternoon at Dave & Busters followed by a 7 pm show at New Victory Theater to see URBAN. During our time at Dave & Busters, we were treated to a class on how to juggle where we juggled pieces of colorful fabric. You may think, Oh, fabric must be easy to juggle than the usual balls -- but I assure you, those fabrics have a mind of their own. :) It was fun for all of us and afterwards we were all … [Read more...]
The Dirty Dancing® 25th Anniversary Celebration ~ Hosted by Skinny Cow® Productions
June 9, 2012 by 2 Comments
Movie making has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Now, many individuals have the option to choose movie theaters that have surround sound and 3D effects and also purchase Blue Ray DVD's. All of these advanced technology for movie viewing is great, but sometimes I enjoy watching a movie the way I did growing up -- the classic way. One of my ultimate favorite classic movie is Dirty Dancing®. I've watched the movie Dirty Dancing® numerous times, and even bought the soundtrack … [Read more...]

A Visit to New York City For The #LowesChallenge Event
June 2, 2012 by 3 Comments
I was invited by Lowe's to attend their Designer Challenge a few weeks ago. Little did I know I would also meet my long time friend, Jai from Mami's Time Out. I was psyched. We have been online friends for about 7-8 years -- way before we started blogging. It all started in an iVillage.com message board called Latina Beauty. We learned a lot about each other and soon we decided to start our very own blogs. Meeting Jai in person was the highlight of my day. I'm sure there will be other … [Read more...]
Motherhood Out Loud: Not Just For Moms!
October 7, 2011 by 10 Comments
Call me crazy but ever since I was a little girl, I wanted children -- specifically a boy for the first-born. At the tender age of 21, I found out I was pregnant and no, it was not planned but I was gleaming with joy. I like to say my son matured me. He made me realize that I was no longer first, it was him, and I had no problem whatsoever. Even though it took me until I got home to fall in love with him, he was my real-life doll. I dressed him, played with him, took him to the park (which … [Read more...]
Giada De Laurentiis For Target Collection Event
September 7, 2011 by 2 Comments
I was watching The Talk yesterday after hearing that Giada De Laurentiis will be on and ONLY because she would be on the show and that is when I remembered. Holy Moley, I never posted about the event that I attended with the one and only Giada De Laurentiis. By the way, The Talk is NOT the same without Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete so I won't be watching often. I was definitely turned off when I heard the awful news that Leah and Holly would no longer be on the show. For whatever … [Read more...]
I’m Teaming with the Tropicana OJ Express at Grand Central Terminal in NYC
August 23, 2011 by 1 Comment
I'm thrilled to be a part of the Tropicana Team as one of their TropiMomma Ambassadors. I've been a Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice consumer for as long as I can remember and it's a product I believe in and buy every week for my family. According to a Tropicana survey, one in four Americans start the day off in a bad mood. I hate to say that I am THAT one. It's the "waking up early" part that I dislike. I love mornings but I wish I wasn't exhausted as soon as I get up. It does change … [Read more...]
A Kleenex Field Trip at the Amercian Museum of Natural History (AMNH)
August 17, 2011 by 3 Comments
I grew up visiting the American Museum of Natural History. The museum has a special place in my heart not only because I enjoy visiting every year but because my first visit to the museum happened when I was just six-years-old. It was my very first field trip with my first grade class. It's funny, my daughter is now six-years-old and I remembered my first visit through her eyes. So for me, it's a nostalgic feeling each and every time I visit. Last Thursday, my kids and I visited the … [Read more...]

Although I missed other cool events due to family issues, I'm not missing this one. I heard nothing but … [Read more...]
Cooking With FAGE Total at The French Culinary Institute in New York City
July 16, 2011 by 4 Comments
{Scroll down below for a slideshow} Recently I went to a cooking class at the French Culinary Institute where I was invited by FAGE (pronounced Fa-yeh) to cook alongside with other bloggers. Honestly, I never bought FAGE yogurt nor have I tasted it but I was intrigued on how to incorporate yogurt into everyday cooking so I obliged. Here's a little history: The Beginning: In 1926, Athanassios Filippou opened a small dairy shop in Athens, Greece. At the time, the shop’s location was … [Read more...]
