This Sunday (2/3/2013) Luna Pie, my one kidney wonder, turns 2. We celebrate. 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, […]

On Complaining and Being Grateful (Fragmented Fridays)
On the one hand… On the other hand… Today I’m grateful that I was able to pay some bills, eat homemade carrot cake muffins that I made for my family, sleep longer than usual, get on my computer even though I need a new one. And now your Friday Fortune Cookie (don’t forget to […]
7 Minutes Online with Unknown Mami (Guest Traci Shannon)
Starting 7 Minutes Online with Unknown Mami, a monthly segment where I interview someone for 7 minutes and broadcast live, has been one of the best things I’ve done via this blog. I get to spend 7 minutes online with some of my favorite people and I get to share those people with you; it’s […]
The Riddle of the Sphinx
What creature goes on four legs in the morning, two at mid-day, and three in the evening? Man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two feet as an adult, and uses a cane in old age.
Melted Crayon Art
I’m a sucker for love. Always have been, always will be. On my last visit to Lowe’s, I found a box of Tumbled Marble 4”x4” tiles at a steal. I decided to bring it home and turn it into some melted crayon art. Being that it is so close to Valentine’s Day, I guess you […]

What up? (Fragmented Fridays)
Did I tell you that I am a contributor at Qué Rica Vida? Probably not unless you know me in real life or you follow me on Facebook. I have a soft spot in my heart for Qué Rica Vida because in 2010 when they relaunched their website they invited me to Miami for the […]
Bad Neighbor (Open Letter)
Dear Neighbors, Let me begin by saying that I do not envy you. If I lived above us, I would curse us often (not that you do or thankfully we don’t hear you do it because I totally understand if you need to). I really am sorry. As you are well aware, I have two […]
I’m a Proud Latina: Soy Orgullosa #Orgullosa
My mother had a conversation with me a long time ago. I can’t pretend to remember exactly how it went, but she said that she had done her best to raise me with a sense of arrogance. The word “arrogance” just didn’t sit well with me so I asked her to explain. She went on […]
