Let me start off by saying I'm not one of those moms who can make costumes, "foo-foo" outfits or even sew well. I know how to sew but I never liked it. I'd rather give whatever needs sewing to my husband and that's that. Yes, he knows how to sew and sews better than me. Who knew?! But I wanted to do something special for my little one's birthday party this coming weekend. She's the baby in the family and we'll be celebrating her 8th birthday at a local roller rink. I wanted her to look … [Read more...]
The 50 Things You Never Knew About Me
March 10, 2013 by 2 Comments
When I started blogging back in 2007, memes were all the rage and I loved it. That was one of the reasons why I started blogging. To share, to document, to network with other bloggers and to just have a good time. I never thought in a million years blogging would give me awesome opportunities in working with brands, attending blog events and at times, traveling with all expenses paid. Never! But while browsing through my favorite blogs (I have TONS of favorites), I came across a fun "About … [Read more...]

March 8, 2013 by 3 Comments
New year, new resolutions - isn't that the norm with practically everyone once the old year is over? I used to make New Year’s resolutions but I stopped. I noticed I wasn't keeping them (it was usually lose weight & eat right) and it got annoying. I was frustrated with myself for not sticking it through so I will not make any New Year’s resolutions. But...... I will say that I did vow to make better choices to start incorporating more fruits and vegetables into mine and my family’s … [Read more...]
Disney’s Oz The Great And Powerful – In Theaters Today!
March 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
It's finally here! My family and I have been watching previews of Oz The Great And Powerful for weeks now and since we missed an early screening we were invited to, we're planning on seeing it this weekend. I'm a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz so this movie is right up my alley. I remember when I was a little girl, every year I would see it on TV. I would sit still for the WHOLE movie and not say a word. My mother loved it because as I was watching the movie, she was cleaning the house. It … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day: I’ll Always Be Daddy’s Little Girl
February 14, 2013 by 6 Comments
While organizing my closet this past weekend, I came upon a large envelope with pictures, old birthday cards and a few of my high school papers (Yes, I'm a bit of a hoarder! LOL). Being that today is Valentine's Day, I thought it was perfect to post one of my favorite items I found. It was a greeting card from my dad from 1987. I was thirteen years old. Same age as my daughter now. It brought me so much joy and relief to know that I never throw away old greeting cards - EVER! I'll always … [Read more...]
Coffee Talk and a Giveaway for a New K-Cup Countertop Storage Drawer #YourPerfectCup
February 13, 2013 by 97 Comments
I've confessed my love for coffee numerous times before. I've even had my blog redone with a coffee theme because I'm that obsessed with coffee. It's something I look forward to every morning and (confession time) multiple times throughout the day. As soon as the aroma hits my nose, I immediately become mesmerized. The smell of good, fresh brewed coffee is one of the best scents in the world, in my opinion. I remember when I was about 6 years old, my abuela (grandmother) would serve me café … [Read more...]

February 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Ever since my husband bought me an iPad a couple of years ago, my little one has been a frequent user. She loves when I download new apps whether it's for improving her reading skills, math skills or just plain ol' games. Her favorite apps are definitely from Disney. She's a girly-girl so she loves anything princess-y. Give her a whole new wardrobe to dress up in a pretty, flowy dresses, she would be in la-la land all day long. So when I told her that Disney has some brand new apps for the … [Read more...]
