It’s time to focus on manifesting abundance in our lives by making some Wednesday Wishes. Do you know how? It’s not that hard, you just put your lips together and…oh, no, wait! That’s for whistling.

Proof That There Is No Shame In Being A Sh*TTY Mom
I’m not just one kind of mom: I’m a good mom, I’m a great mom, I’m a so-so mom and sometimes I’m a sh*tty mom. Yes, darlings, I am the first to admit that I have my #shittymommoments or #mierdamamimoments if you want to be #bilingual about it. The thing is that I know I […]
Sugar Pine, California (Sundays In My City)

On a clear sunny day, going for a walk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco is blissful. Especially if you make your way over to the Ferry Building and get an edible treat (treats not pictured as they were eaten before I remembered to photograph them). The Embarcadero is the eastern waterfront area of the […]

Letting Kids Pick out Their Own Easter Outfits
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Kohl’s and Latina Bloggers Connect. The opinions and text are all mine. When I was a little girl my mother would make a BIG deal about Easter. The baskets I would get were always fantastic and there was always a new Easter outfit to […]
