I’m having one of those, “I can’t believe this is my life moments!” I’m on a plane headed to NY to cover an event that I will tell you about later. Me! Me? Me, the one with the messy home, beautiful children, and years of sleep-deprivation. The one who sometimes works from home in her […]

Looking Good From the Inside Out #NTGBeautifulInsideOut
I’ve been using Neutrogena products since I was a teenager. Right now, I’m really into their Naturals line. It’s no surprise that when I was offered the opportunity to receive complimentary products and review them, I jumped at the chance. My package arrived and was filled with an assortment of Neutrogena products that I was […]
On the Easter Egg Hunt (Sundays In My City)
Happy Easter! San Francisco, CA. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts […]
Easter Through the Eyes of my Children
I’m writing this the night before what is becoming a yearly spring-time tradition: our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. It’s so much fun for me as an adult to watch children, including my own, enjoy what has always been one of my favorite holiday activities. Neighbors gather together at the park with our kids and we […]
Adjusting to my New Job (Fragmented Fridays)
Reporting on my adjustment to my new job at Mamás Latinas. It turns out I can write 6 posts a day, who knew? I can also work full-time while hacking up my lungs. I learned that you should never work on the sofa even if you are really sick because you will just end up […]

Coffee Filter Flowers
When my friends at Lowe’s provided me with a gift card and said, “Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to bring spring indoors”, I accepted. The very first thing I did was to get some bromeliads because I love them and they make me feel like it’s spring even when it isn’t. […]
Gay Parents are Just as Good (or Bad) as Straight Parents
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the most influential pediatrician’s group in the country, has endorsed same-sex marriage. The new policy entitled, American Academy of Pediatrics Supports Same Gender Civil Marriage was published online and cites research showing that parents’ sexual orientation does not affect a child’s development. Children do just as well in same-sex families […]
Enjoying the View (Sundays In My City)
Just enjoying the view. San Francisco, CA. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts […]
Too Tired to Blog (Fragmented Fridays)
I am too tired to blog. It’s true. I’m beat. Did you miss my big announcement? I got a new job! A full-time staff writing job for Mamás Latinas. It’s great and I’m thrilled, but I’ve also had a cough which has really worn me out. Between writing my nalgas off for my job and […]
