This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Lynn. Congrats!In the spring, we'll put our little boy back in preschool. While I appreciate the fact that he gets education and social interaction at preschool, I'm not crazy about the germs and bugs he often brings home.

I should know better than to hype up an event with my 2 1/2 year old days before it's to occur. My son never forgets things like this (but somehow manages to "forget" that it's not ok to throw food on the floor...or hit his baby sister...sigh!) and day... Read More »

My husband always teases me about the number of pictures I take. Whether we're on a family vacation or just visiting Disneyland for the day, I could easily take 50-100 pictures per day. Photos are one of the best tangible ways of preserving memories (just make sure to prin... Read More »

Up until about a week or so ago, I thought our home was relatively safe for our children. We have gates on the stairs and in my son's room, cabinet locks, and outlet covers. Many of our kitchen appliances have built-in safety features (i.e. an oven and dishwasher lock) and ... Read More »

Most days I do good to get in a shower before my son wakes up. Anything above and beyond that (i.e. hair, makeup, shaved legs) is just icing. I remember when I had the luxury of spending a good hour blowing and flat ironing my hair straight. Those days are few and far between... Read More »

It's not often that I talk about my cultural background. I'm actually embarrassed that most of you probably don't know I'm Puerto Rican. I grew up with parents who wanted to "mainstream" me. They wanted me to have as many opportunities as possible. It wasn't until I entered h... Read More »

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Sandra. Congrats!Some days, when I'm reading to my son, I think that I could do it...I think that I could home school. No preschool is going to give him the one-on-one attention that I can. In just two short years, my little boy is having full conversations with us, knows his al... Read More »

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Christine! Congrats!When I was younger and single, I didn't care much about the amount of money spent on hair, face, and body products. Most of my purchases were made at upscale department stores and salons.

It's been a little over two months since our beauty was born and it's time for this mama to shed the baby weight! I don't have much time of my own, so the bulk of my exercising must be done with the kids. Fortunately, I have double jogging stroller to get me in shape.
Apart from a good jogging str... Read More »

I don't get to read very much these days, and when I do, it's usually a children's book with my son. I just received a book I'm very excited about reading called Wrong Number. The author just released her new suspense novel:

My husband and I don't go out to eat very often, but when we do, we opt for nontraditional restaurants with an ethnic flair. We are fond of Asian cuisine, particularly the Japanese variety. And one of my favorite restaurants for Teppan-style Japanese food is Benihana.

When my son was a baby, I went through almost every brand of diaper on the market. He had (and still has) very sensitive skin and there weren't many diapers that didn't give him a rash. If I thought I could commit to cloth diapering, I would. But I know that I don't have the time or patience to deal w... Read More »

Between running after my two year old and tending to my baby girl, I have enough on my plate without having to worry about lost sippy cups, backpacks, and toys. One of the easiest ways to keep track of all of our belongings is to label them. Back when I was a little girl, my mom sewed my name into my cloth... Read More »
