As a stay-at-home-mom, sometimes there aren’t enough hours in a day. So, to get 10 minutes for me, myself and I is solid gold. With 3 kids in 3 different schools with 2 different pick up times, my life can get hectic. I will be honest and say that the car is my little sanctuary. It really is! There is no computer, TV, laundry, toys scattered everywhere to distract me from “me” time. If you feel the same way I {Read More}

If you are like me and are the sole “shopper” for groceries in your home, then I’m pretty sure that you have been raising eyebrows at the prices we’ve had to pay for some grocery items for our casitas, yes? How do you foresee the future on how you shop at your local markets? Early this week the USDA made some predictionson food prices in the coming year and beyond. I’ve seen this happening since last year. Just in the {Read More}

A couple of days ago I told you about how Mimi’s Cafe is supporting the Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement. I was invited to their restaurant to take part in the program and I had two of my best friends tag along. We haven’t been out for lunch in such a long time, that I knew we would be in for a great time. We each wore RED and headed out to our local Mimi’s! Mimi’s Cafe went {Read More}

This Friday is the release of “The Secret World of Arriety” in theaters nationwide.

I must say that growing up in Southern California truly has its advantage. Beautiful weather, you look to the right you have the mountains, look to the left you have nothing but beaches. Theme parks are a staple here and one of my all time favorite is Knott’s Berry Farm. ““ During my teenage years, Knott’s was the place to be. The old-western feel to it and the grown up rides had me and my friends fascinated! We visited the {Read More}

I would rather much spend my time in the kitchen and coming out only for the commercials. That to me, is the best part of any game… {Read More}
