Hola Chulas y Chulos! How’s it smackin’? I have a story to tell you and it involves Cholula hot sauce, Bob Saget, the internet and a plate of nachos. See what had happened was that I was super hungry so I decided to make a plate of nachos that I generously covered with Cholula, then […]
48 Reasons I’m Glad to Be 48 Years Old
My birthday is on Monday. I will be 48 years old. My family is spending the weekend celebrating me and I am not at all shy about being the center of attention. Aging gets a bad rap. For me getting older has been incredibly liberating. I have so many things to be grateful for and […]
Kids Climbing the Walls
I’m a total homebody and could happily hang out at home all weekend, but I have a husband and kids that start climbing the walls if they don’t get out. So, we go out. But then when we’re out, we walk by a wall at the Serramonte Shopping Center that looks climbable and my husband […]

Girls’ Night In
My girls asked for a slumber party night in with me and of course I obliged. We had dessert, got into our jammies, jumped into bed and binged on junk TV. How lucky am I? I don’t take these moments for granted. I know they won’t last forever. I mean, I would be perfectly happy […]
Dandelion Bouquet for My Dead
My heart has been breaking lately. Or maybe breaking is not the right word. It feels more like my chest is wide open and my heart is exposed and cracked. As if that were not enough the skies are raining lime and salt onto my poor exposed, cracked heart and it hurts so much. It’s […]
