This post is brought to you by Chevy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Every year I grit my teeth through all the "Cinco de Mayo" *ahem* festivities that take place. It's not that I mind people having a good time, I don't. I mean, I am all for kicking back at the end of a long week and having a margarita. No, my issue? People have Cinco de Mayo all wrong. Cinco de Mayo is NOT … [Read more...]
Leaving #NoBabyUnhugged: Where To Donate Diapers in Los Angeles
This post is sponsored by Huggies. Before baby, I didn't quite grasp how important diapers were. I'm being totally honest here! Yes, I understood how your baby NEEDS diapers, just like an adult needs undergarments. What I mean is, it never occurred to me the thousands, probably even millions of babies who go without diapers because of financial struggles. I was forever grateful for all … [Read more...]
Great Wolf Lodge: Family Fun And More In Southern California
California's first indoor waterpark, Great Wolf Lodge, is officially open in Garden Grove.

Extreme Value Comes To Los Angeles With Grocery Outlet
This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Grocery Outlet and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts are my own. Every week I go through a bit of a shopping dilemma. I want to make sure I get quality groceries, with brands I know and love, and as many organic options as possible for my family but, I don't want to go broke doing so. In Los Angeles, that has meant going to not one, not … [Read more...]
Mix and Match Dinner Deal For The Family #VoyPor5
This is a sponsored campaign in collaboration with Wienerschnitzel and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The first time I ever had a chili dog, was a night my mom brought home a meal deal from Weinerschnitzel. She was a single mom, raising the three of us, so if we were getting food- you can be sure my mom made sure it was a good value. That was at least twenty … [Read more...]

So This Is How #LosAngeles Is Making Money?
I love my city. I do. I am so ridiculously L.A. that being in traffic is like a second home to me. However, we are not without our issues. For several years now, we have been plagued with a horrible budget and instead of finding ways to deal with it internally, the city has taken upon itself to charge it's people, for every single little thing possible. This morning, I felt it. I drove to … [Read more...]
Rare Tour Inside Disney Animation Research Library #DisneyInHomeBloggers
Chills. Goosies. Call it what you want, I got 'em walking in this place. Disney press trips don't usually involve: high security, no cameras allowed, no location revealed type of meetings. But, that's what it was. And oh so jaw dropping! As part of the #DisneyInHomeBloggers trip last month we were whisked away to the top secret location of the Disney Animation Research Library. We were … [Read more...]
