A Relaxing Weekend at Mount Airy Casino Resort #MountAiry #MtAiry #MountAiryResort #ad

Disclosure: Complimentary lodging, meals and entertainment were provided by Mount Airy Casino Resort in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was received. If you ask me, I believe all married couples need some time away from all the stress of everyday life from time to time, especially when kids are involved.  Don't get me wrong, I love my kids with all my heart and soul but there are times when I just need some alone time with my honey bunny without any distractions. We. … [Read more...]

A Love Letter To My One and Only Love.

You know me. I usually don't put our personal life out on the internet. It's our private life and no one needs to know our business.  But this time is different. I'm writing this letter to let you know. This love of ours just can't go. I never knew how happy I would be. Till you showed me how love can be...... Guess the song. 😉 Ok on a serious note: 19 years ago today, we got married by the justice of the peace in Yonkers. It was just an ordinary day. Nothing special. No … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk About Date Night

Ahhh Date night -- It's a wonderful thing between two people or sometimes more. It's a time where you can just hang out, have a few drinks, eat and relax. It's especially wonderful when you can talk to your spouse without any interruptions from the kids and just talk about ANYTHING on date night. THAT is our dilemma. But isn't that the main reason couples go on date night anyway? To be alone as husband and wife. To listen to each other as a lover and friend? To remind one another that … [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...]

Family Matters…..or does it?

When it comes to family and the bond families have with one another, it's no doubt that you should be able to count on your family when the chips are down, right?  In my heart, family matters. It's the main piece to any puzzle. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. When I was a kid, I grew up in a tight-knit family. I saw fights, arguments, crying and lots of love in between it all.  No matter the issue, there was a bond that I always saw that was very important. Yes, people gave … [Read more...]

Ramblings: Never Mess with a Woman’s Cooking!

When my husband and I first moved in together I didn't really know much about cooking.  I mean, I watched my grandparents and mom cook all these delectable and traditional Puerto Rican dishes so it wasn't like I didn't know how to cook,  I just never really actually prepared a meal before. Before I cooked my very first meal, I did what any smart person would do.  I called my mom. Me: Ma, what is your secret?  What makes your food taste so good?  (It's not cheating if you ask your mom right? … [Read more...]

Top 5 Annoying Things My Husband Says…

I've been married to my lovely husband for 14+ years and I'm still madly in love with him.  I also still find him attractive but that doesn't mean I don't get annoyed by some of the things he says. Here's what he says that drives me bananas: 1. Where's the remote? -- Maybe if you would get off your ass, you'd find it. Most of the time he's sitting on it. 2. I can't find it! -- Well if you look right, you'll find it. It's not gonna pop out and say here I am! 3. What's for dinner? -- … [Read more...]

Wanna improve your relationship?

Last Saturday, my sister, my girls and I were on the bus to go to her house after having a fabulous day in the city (post coming soon).  My sister pointed out a billboard that was up above the windows on the bus. When I first saw it, I thought it was just for married people. I didn't know it would be a site for so much more. If you want to improve your relationship with your other half, this site is perfect for the two of you. If you're a parent, dating someone, engaged, living … [Read more...]
