A Latina Perspective on Entertainment, Lifestyle and Life.

SMALLFOOT Review

SMALLFOOT Review

Creating a family film, nowadays, is a complicated feat. Kids are much more technologically savvy and there are worlds of creative content just a smartphone away, and usually for free. It takes a good story, with a strong, yet not overbearing message, and a lot of wit and whimsy to keep not just a child's attention, but nudge a parent to want to spend those hard earned dollars at the movies. … [Read more...]

What To Do If Your Pet Gets Fleas

What To Do If Your Pet Gets Fleas

This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. The day we brought Lila home from the rescue shelter, we felt our little family was complete. We knew we had to learn how to care for a dog, since til then our three cats had been our only fur babies. After figuring out how many walks she needs and at what time, type of food she ate and how often, and what her favorite toys … [Read more...]

Getting Real With #thisisGOOD

Getting Real With #thisisGOOD

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Minute Maid. All thoughts are my own. Those first years of parenthood after my daughter, Sofia, was born were chaotic, messy and just, wow - I always joke that “we survived.” We were pretty low on money most of the time, so we had hand me downs for furniture. Plus, my hair was never done, my clothes were sorted according to if they had one or more … [Read more...]

The spcaLA Completed My Family And Now, I Am Giving Back

This is a sponsored post for JCPenney. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. It’s 1 month into 2018, do you know where your resolutions are? If you’re like me, you probably left them in that forgotten abyss of “daily life” and can barely remember what you said you were going to do. For the most part, the usual ‘sleep more, lose weight, etc…’, don’t phase me, but the one I was … [Read more...]

Movies Anywhere Will Make Your Holidays Brighter

Movies Anywhere Will Make Your Holidays Brighter

This is a sponsored post for Movies Anywhere. All thoughts are my own. The holidays tend to stress out most parents, or at least, me... they stress ME out. Suddenly, my quiet home turns into Grand Central with all family descending upon it for our Christmas celebration. But, it's not just Christmas night... I also have a 10 year old that is off from school for 3 weeks, cousins being dropped … [Read more...]

Making Lasting Family Memories at the LA County Fair

Making Lasting Family Memories at the LA County Fair

This post is brought to you in partnership with the LA County Fair. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The first year of my daughter's life is a blur to me. I remember everything, yet also, nothing. Everyone who had grown children told me to embrace it all...because in a blink, that tiny baby that refused to sleep, would be packing up to move out on their own. I've never taken that advice … [Read more...]

Head Back to School with Happy Thoughts and Office Depot

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Office Depot. All thoughts are my own. Do you hear that sound? You know- the hum of pencils being sharpened and backpacks being packed. It’s back to school season! I know, I know- kids, sorry, summer was great- but it’s time to get some learning on. Parents- you know we all secretly LOVE back to school shopping. I don’t know why, but I love … [Read more...]

Great Wolf Lodge Is The SoCal Family Staycation Destination

Great Wolf Lodge hosted a stay for the purposes of this review. All thoughts are my own. Welcome to Los Angeles, California where the weather is warm, hot and hotter. That's right, we stay hot for almost the whole year, but that's not a bad because that means we have places like Great Wolf Lodge to escape to all year long! I had heard so many great things about Great Wolf Lodge, but … [Read more...]

Top Tween Style Trends For Back To School

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with JCPenney. In a couple weeks, my daughter will be starting her very last year of elementary school. Summer went so quick, but her heading to 5th grade is kinda crazy to me! I still see her as the tiny girl being dropped off for her first day at kinder. Back then, back to school shopping was easy! I just grabbed what I thought was cute and she would … [Read more...]
