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.

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...]

After making the the collage, I noticed I missed the very first photo - morning. I will definitely post that … [Read more...]

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...]

I'm just being real here. I've come to the realization that I couldn't AND cannot share my lovely sleep number bed with any of my children.

Not after last night's fiasco. Let me tell you, I had one of the worse nights ever! Since my husband went … [Read more...]

A 3-day weekend is a big deal for us. It's an extra day to sleep in, to enjoy each others company and just relax. It also means a 4-day work week! YAY! So I took advantage and made plans to spend time with my two favorite girls, my daughters. Of course I did household chores (Blah!) like laundry, cleaning and all that good stuff but we did have a bit of fun too. We had lunch at Burger King, where I was indecisive about having a healthy salad or a greasy burger. Guess who won? Yup, that … [Read more...]
