This is a compensated collaboration with Angel Soft and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts are my own. The past few weeks I've overshared with you guys some of my past woes of being #SinRolloSinSalida aka without a roll. You've laughed at with me and cried with me (or was that me just reliving it all?)...but now, here's the ultimate story. In a way, it's not my without a roll moment, but I … [Read more...]
Leaves Aren’t Fun #SinRolloSinSalida
This is a compensated collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Angel Soft Latino. All thoughts and embarrassing moments are completely my own. I have never liked camping. In fact, I can tell you I have been a total of 4 times and only one time was enjoyable to me and that was because we had a cabin. The first time I went camping I stayed awake all night cause I was so cold and although … [Read more...]
Of Dates And…Toilet Paper #SinRolloSinSalida
This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Angel Soft and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts and embarrassing stories are my own. Sofia has been getting more and more curious about how my husband and I met and in particular, how we fell in love. At 7 yrs old, her favorite shows now involve tweens and teens having relationships, so it's only natural for her to be curious about how … [Read more...]
Reflections of Me #BarbieProject
I am part of The Barbie Project, which is a compensated collaboration with Mattel. All thoughts are my own. When I started the Barbie Project, the journey was going to be in watching how Sofia played. As a mom of a very independent little girl, play time is not something I actively participated in. I'm the stricter parent, you see. I'm the one that enforces bed time, healthy meals, and clean … [Read more...]

First Friendships, First Cards and a Lifetime of Memories
This is a sponsored post for Hallmark. My daughter is an only child so ever since she was 18 months old, she went to a preschool or child care. She was always a social kid, even at that young of an age. I remember first dropping her off, being so afraid she would cry or be scared, but when I went to get her, she was more upset that I was picking her up! This repeated in pre-K and again at … [Read more...]
Whatever It Takes: Words From My Husband #GoodNeighbor
Picture this. Waking up everyday at 6am with a sense of total and utter dismay. The routine was always the same: shower, wake everyone, drop off the kiddo at preschool, park, take the Red Line to downtown, get off, walk to work...slowly. At the office, try to keep "busy" but each file that hits your desk produces a hive or two. Once the clock hits 5pm, run out to make the commute home, pick up … [Read more...]
An Independence of My Own
This post is brought to you by Hallmark. The first time I realized I was an adult, I cried. I was 22 years old and was, oh, thisclose to being evicted from my apartment due to a bad roommate, bad spending habits and well, just forgetting that, oh yea, I was supposed to be responsible. I cried because I knew at that moment that I wasn't ready to be an adult, but yet, there I was. Twenty Two. … [Read more...]
My Daughter Is Going To Rule The World #BarbieProject
This post is part of the #BarbieProject conversation. All thoughts are my own. I always wonder how much attention my daughter pays to what I do for a living. She knows I used the computer and travel a lot, but I didn't think she could quite grasp that a lot of what I do, and what this blog is for, is to connect. To connect with other women like me, families like ours, and, in essence, … [Read more...]
Leaks and the City…or What Nobody Told You About Your Bladder After Baby (eek!)
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Poise and Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #SAMInYourPants When anyone asks me if Los Angeles really is perfect all year long, I simply show them this photo I took: Oh yea, this was taken when half the country was covered in snow and we decided to have a beach day, because... well, why not. It's one of the best things about living here … [Read more...]
