Disclosure: This post is unsponsored, however, may contain some affiliate links. Growing up in Los Angeles, our summers were pretty much on par with the rest of the country. We played with the sprinklers and hoses, spent all day outside playing with kids in the neighborhood or in car rides to the beach. The one most vivid difference, for me anyway, was that distinctive bell approaching down the … [Read more...]
Over the past few weeks, I have seen a slew of posters pop up for a brand new show on Lifetime called "Devious Maids." At first, I saw posters on the bus stops, on billboards just of some blood and brooms. Interesting....looks like a chicky thriller which I kinda love. Then I saw the first poster with the five leading ladies. All five LATINA leading ladies. That is when the debates began. … [Read more...]

My daughter is almost 6 years old, and she is at that stage where every question has a bazillion questions attached and more than half I don't know the answer to. She's a total joy but doesn't understand the meaning of "shhhh." My husband is a good man, and he makes me laugh but somedays... I just want a few moments to myself just to enjoy not talking...to anyone. Or tweeting. Or emailing. Or … [Read more...]

When my husband and I started couples counseling, he was told essentially what I had wondered about and he basically knew. He needed therapy of his own, which he eventually started. This year, he's been officially diagnosed with moderate anxiety and depression, the jury is still out on whether he is bi-polar. He's on meds that seem to be working (although the first 2 months he was on them was … [Read more...]
I have been afraid to write this post for a long time. Which is exactly why I am going to do it now. My husband and I were separated and when we got back together, we both just kinda shoved all feelings that the separation caused to the side. I know I did.... I just wanted all the anger from things I couldn't change or control to disappear. About 6 months later, she told me via email. "I've … [Read more...]
