It’s the most wonderful time of the year… HALLOWEEN! It’s our thing, as you know. Every year we plan our family Halloween costumes a year– sometimes two years ahead of time, just because we have such fun ideas we want to do. Our Traditional Halloween Family Costumes… Our first year we weren’t exactly family themed, at least the boyfriend wasn’t. I was Mary and Ziana was my lost sheep. Second…
*This post “Knock Out the Flu” is sponsored by K-mart. However, all opinions are my own* We did back-to-school shopping for Ziana last month, but back-to-school doesn’t just mean getting the necessary supplies for your kid and making sure they get all their necessary shots, but it also means taking care of ourselves. There’s nothing worse when your child comes home sick from school over and over and over again.…
**The trip was sponsored with Visit Philly and Sonesta hotel. However, all opinions are my own** I had the best weekend ever!! When you become a parent the days of sleeping in and getting up to go where ever your little heart desires quickly disappears. Being a parent you don’t sleep in for 12 hours or go on exotic vacations with your spouse or friends. Now, it’s a bit different-…
PJ Masks We’re the PJ Masks PJ Masks We’re the PJ Masks It still amazes me when I sit and watch cartoons with my kids and actually sing-a-long to the catchy tunes. Ziana is all about her cartoons and one of her favorites are PJ Masks because they get to dress up as super heroes and kick some serious butt. Now that Ziana has a little brother who copies and…
Pride of the Hispanic Day Parade Photos by Daily News- ALVAREZ, ENID/ALVAREZ, ENID) The last time I attended a parade and was actually on one was back in my college years and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Which parade was it? The Puerto Rican Day parade, and no I’m not Puerto Rican, but being around thousands of people who were just happy, living in…
Amazon Farmhouse Unboxing Purchases It’s no secret that I’m in love with, obsessed with and dream of living in a country farmhouse style of home. I always grew up loving country style homes– a huge two story home with a creepy attic and a wrap around porch to sit out on rainy days. However, I was never the kind of girl who cared about what the inside of my dream…
This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. When it comes to saving that “cash-money” as my 5-year-old would say I like to hold on to it tight. I’m somewhat of a penny-pincher. When I see a good sale I’m all over it, especially when it comes to clothing for the kids. When us moms/dads buy something we can wear it for years…
As a mother one of the things you kind of start becoming great at is finding pretty cool places to travel with your kids, one of them is parks. I always figured Manhattan or Central Park had the best places to hand out at, run around in and unique jungle gyms that I just got use to taking my daughter to the most dullest park around the block. That was…
Perfect Fall Slip On Shoes for all Outfits I’m pretty sure years prior summer was still around in September maybe even going into October, but nope not this year. The last weekend of August was already getting chilly and I had to already put on long sleeve the following week. Absurd? Well for me it was, but thankfully I thought ahead of time and started doing some fall shoe shopping…
Five-years ago I gave birth to my first kid, Ziana Eliz. Fast-forward to today and she’s finally attending school. Sure, she attended Pre-k last year, but lets face it– Pre-k is play school. This is the first year it’s going to be a bit more towards what the rest of her years ahead are going to look like in school. It was also the first year I had to encounter…
Bring on the Stripes Can you believe this Labor Day weekend was the worst ever? The sun wasn’t out, rain clouds poured over us and chilly came by early to visit. It was the last chance I had to enjoy the beach, which I never made this year. Better luck next year! With the cooler weather now fast approaching it’s only right to start stocking up on new sweaters and…
