Empanada Mama – A Hidden Gem on 9th Ave in New York City
October 20, 2012 by 2 Comments
Why is it that if you fry any foods in grease, it will taste absolutely amazing? Sometimes I wish vegetables tasted the same way. Oh well. A few weeks ago I was in the city with my sister and I mentioned to her that I was craving empanadas (think of a Jamaican beef patty). She said she knew the perfect place. We walked from Times Square to the west side on 9th and 51st Street. The weather was beautiful so we just walked and talked. We even saw Ethan Hawkes chatting with some fans. Once … [Read more...]

Visiting Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, California #DisneyPixarEvent
May 4, 2012 by 3 Comments
When I first received the email inviting me to a press event in San Francisco, I was surprised to know that Walt Disney had a whole museum dedicated to his life, his family and his fantastic career. Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum was saved for day 3, the last thing on our agenda during the Disney/Pixar Event last month but it was the most memorable. Opened in 2009, the beautiful Walt Disney Family museum sits on the old grounds of a military base in the Presidio of San Francisco … [Read more...]
From New York to San Francisco: Pixar Studios, Footage of Brave & La Luna! #DisneyPixarEvent
April 12, 2012 by 6 Comments
Last week, I attended the Disney/Pixar Press Event in sunny San Francisco and it still feels like a dream. As I look at all the photos I took, my mind is going a mile a minute from all that we did in just three short days. DAY ONE: Upon my arrival at SFO (San Francisco Airport), I met with other bloggers in a van to head straight to our "home" for the next few days, Hotel Palomar. Once we got to the hotel, I couldn't wait to visit Pixar Studios but thank goodness we had about an hour to … [Read more...]

I literally screamed when I saw the email in my inbox. My kids were like, "Um, Mom, why are you acting like a kid?" I replied with, "I'm going to San Fransisco!" The looks on their faces were priceless! After that, my girls were asking if they could go. Sadly, they cannot. It's only for bloggers. YES!! lol Shh, don't tell … [Read more...]
How Gain Dryer Sheets Saved Me During #Blogalicious11
November 12, 2011 by 7 Comments
Hurricane Irene came to the tri-state and left a huge mess everywhere, including my basement. My basement was flooded with two inches of water and left most of our possessions damp and smelly. And one of our possessions were our suitcases. I brought them upstairs to clean them and Febreze them like crazy. I let them air out for days and thought they were good to go. I packed my clothes for Blogalicious 2011 and was ready to go....or so I thought. The night I checked in, I took my clothes … [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...]
