Throw Back Thursday: Halloween Edition #tbt #Halloween

Does anyone post #tbt on their blogs nowadays? I haven't noticed any. I usually see them on Instagram but I decided to post it on the ol' blog since I rarely post personal stuff anymore (that will change!). As I was looking thru old photos, I found several photos I took from my mom's house that I had planned to scan onto my computer. Here's what I found: This is me as Wonder Woman. I was in first grade. Wonder Woman was my idol at the time so naturally I thought I was bad! I remember when … [Read more...]

Ramblings: My Weekend in a Nutshell ~ July 4th

Hey everyone! How was your 4th of July? I hope you all had a wonderful 4th! As for me, my weekend was great. I spent it with my lovely family. The best part was that it was low-key and without a schedule. I also cleaned, I cooked many meals and I baked a cake. Which also means I ate a lot -- more than I would like to admit.

Coffee Talk and a Giveaway for a New K-Cup Countertop Storage Drawer #YourPerfectCup

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.

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...]

Wordless Wednesday – City Island Fun (#linky)

I was looking through my photos yesterday and decided it was a good time to transfer my precious photos to my portable drive.  There has been too many close calls with my computer and my husband is blaming my blogging for mishaps. I couldn't agree with him more. Blogging and reading other blogs leaves the computer vulnerable to viruses and such so please be careful everyone. Ok, so I did say this was a "Wordless" Wednesday so let me just show you the pics I chose for this week ;): These … [Read more...]

The Day That Came Too Early.

August 18, 1994 That is the date my father passed away.  15 years ago. I still can't believe he's gone.  No one knew it was coming; it was a very sad surprise. He died exactly one week after we came back from Orlando, Florida. A vacation he planned for a couple of years for my sister and I. After his sudden death, the whole family was stunned.  We couldn't help but wonder why he died so suddenly.  It turned out after his autopsy, he had diabetes.  No one knew.  He probably didn't know … [Read more...]
