Preserving “We Time” With Your Baby

2013-02-14 18.26.07

This post is part of a sponsored series as part of the Colief Colic Council. A few days ago, I measured my daughter against the door frame, as we do every few months. As I watched her glee of having grown just a little taller, I remembered a time when she was still tiny enough to be cradled in my arms and how I would smell that glorious baby smell from the top of her head. Now I have to beg her … [Read more...]

Billboard Latin Awards and Winning With Positivity #Positivismo

  Last night, I sat with my big glass of milk and watched the Billboard Latino Awards. I saddled up for an amazing show full of incredible performances and crossing my fingers that my favorites walked home with an award.

Cocoon Kids: The Safe Browser for Your Kids

Reading

This post is brought to you by: Cocoon Kids. For a long time, I kept myself uninformed about all the security apps out there for kids online. I didn't think I needed it, I mean, Sofia is only 5 yrs old...and I'm always with her when she uses either the computer or the iPad, so I was good! Yea, right! Just like thousands of other kids her age, Sofia learned how to operate the internet within a … [Read more...]

I was recently sent a box full of P&G's Most Loved products and when I opened the box, I let out a little squeal. Not only were my favorites in there, but … [Read more...]

Fuel for the Modern Family #QuakerEpicAdventures

Quaker Big Chewy Granola Bars

My family of three is your typical, modern family. We get up early, get ready for our day and we all run around trying to get everything done by, oh, 8am. Ha. That means usually my husband and I are up at 630 to get breakfast, coffee, lunch ready, more coffee, and then we start on our daughter to get her up and moving. That's just the morning! We are a family that needs fuel, and not just any … [Read more...]

The Household Balancing Act: Strong and Soft #AngelSoft

Sassy Mama Family

On an average day, our family life is...well, hectic. Three schedules, three cats, and let's throw in all the chores and errands it takes to have it run efficiently at a somewhat sane level can make one a little crazy. Let's throw in MY job. I negotiate contracts, talk to people, write, promote...and that's not when I travel, which is a big part of the job, and that just adds to the … [Read more...]

The Mom That Does It All: Circle Of Moms Video Series

Last week, I was about a breaking point with my daughter home from school and so so so bored, but I was on deadlines and also stressed over our Spring cleaning and makeovers. After I wrote my post, I tried to get through that day and then, when Joe came home, I totally broke. I felt like the most awful mom because I just couldn't do it all. I was all over the place and wanting to be the best at it … [Read more...]

Spring Break Makes Me The WORST Mom EVER

I know... I've heard it before. Value your time with your kids. They're only young once. Spring Break is a time to be with your kids. Blah blah blah. I'm sorry but I call BULLSHIT. I love my girl, just as much as any mom loves her child. I look at her little face and am overwhelmed with a feeling so deep, that I never knew I could love like that until I had her. But...BUT, I am not super … [Read more...]
