As a Lowe’s Creative Ideas Network member I am presented with a monthly Mission Possible. October’s mission, which I chose to accept reads: Let your imagination run wild this month and use your Lowe’s gift card do whatever project you like this month. So I considered my options.

Artful Walls (Sundays In My City)
You never know what mural you’ll see on the building that is on the corner of Haight and Pierce because they are always changing. I end up falling in love with a mural and feel sad when it’s gone, only to fall in love with the next. San Francisco, CA I […]
Kismet (Fragmented Fridays)
I believe in kismet or synchronicity. I’m sure you know what I mean, but just in case. Kismet and Synchronicity as defined by me: Case in point: This week I went to meet my new-to-me general practitioner. My previous doctor relocated to a new state and it was time to meet and greet my new […]
It’s Time for Bed…#Positivismo
Once upon a recent evening in East LA, a white truck roamed the neighborhood playing music and handing out milk to youngsters getting ready to start their nighttime routines. What kind of truck would do such a thing? A milk truck, my friends…un camíon de leche. You may be wondering: What was the purpose of […]
Bringing Autumn Indoors
It’s beginning to look a lot like autumn…well, not really. I live in California where the weather is mild, some leaves change colors, but not all. Still that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the gorgeous colors associated with fall. Lucky for me bringing a bit of the season into my home is easy. I headed […]

My Husband is Wearing Mario Lopez’ Underwear #MaLoUnderwear
When the opportunity came up to get my husband into Mario Lopez’ underwear, I had to go for it and quite honestly my husband didn’t put up much of a fight. The conversation went a little something like this: Unknown Mami: Babe, how would you feel about wearing Mario Lopez’ underwear? Unknown Papi: What do […]
Sidewalk Art (Sundays In My City)
The sidewalks of San Francisco are full of interest. 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 […]
Dear Facebook (Fragmented Fridays)
Dear Facebook, You are irritating just about everyone on Facebook. What the heck?! You used to be fun, a great place to interact with friends and colleagues. Now you’re all business. I get that you have to make money, but son of a gun didn’t you ever hear that no one likes to pay for […]
