A Delicious Valentine’s Day Menu Filled with Easy-to-do Recipes

I believe a way to anyone's heart is through their stomach. Wouldn't you agree?  The saying goes towards the men, but I highly doubt a woman would ever turn down a home-cooked meal any night of the week especially with a menu like you see below. Am I right ladies? ;) As you know, Valentine's Day is Friday and restaurants everywhere will be swamped with reservations and of course,  people.  I don't know about you but I dislike crowds. Whatever I need to do to do to avoid crowds, I'm in! … [Read more...]

My New Obsession: Zinio For iPad App

Thanks to my fellow blogger and friend Migdalia from Latina on a Mission for introducing Zinio on her blog. She tweeted about one of her posts showcasing a free subscription of Cosmopolitan for the Zinio app a few weeks ago and I was curious to know what was Zinio all about. Before her post, I never heard of Zinio. And like so many people, when I see the word FREE, I jump at the chance to see if I can get my hands on it. Lol I clicked on her link and there it was -- a full year … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday AND Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was my son's birthday. We didn't make a big fuss because that's what he wanted. I did make him breakfast though (something I hate doing!) and gave him hugs and kisses. My husband came home to take him for a haircut and spend some quality time with his only son but then had to leave again for duty.  But shhh, don't tell anyone. Well today is another special day. It's my husband's birthday. As much as I want him to have his special day, today also marks a day that means a lot … [Read more...]

Valentine's Day is 4 days away. Are you ready? :) I hope so. A few days ago I sent out an email to some bloggers and friends and I asked them if they wanted to share their best & worst Valentine's Day.

Wordless Wednesday: Bad Little Girl (add your linky)

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.
