Disclosure: Esta campaña ha sido compensada por Big Lots. Todas las opiniones son sólo mías. Ya se acerca la temporada de otoño, donde los árboles cambian de color, las temperaturas bajan y los grandes y chicos están ansiosos por la llegada de Halloween. Una de mis actividades favoritas en el mes de Octubre es llevar a los niños a un huerto de calabazas para hacer las famosas Jack-o’-Lanter ...

Muchos estarán de acuerdo con que durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, no hay mejor forma de celebrar que reconociendo la historia y contribuciones de los latinos al mundo.Tenemos una inmensa variedad cultural en cuanto a cine, televisión, música, danza, y compartimos una historia tan increíble que nunca nadie la hubiera podido inventar. ¿Porqué no aprender de nuestra historia a través de emocio ...

Have you ever been so entertained by a program or series that you cannot miss it every single night? I know I have, but sometimes we don’t all agree on one show. You see I like my novelas, my husband like sports, and my daughter loves her cartoons and kid’s movies; so we can never watch the same programs. Luckily I now have Xfinity X1 where I can watch all my favorite Spanish-language ...

Now that school has started I have less time to sit and eat with my daughter to talk and enjoy breakfast or lunch together. When she comes home she eats dinner and then starts on her homework, leaving little time to enjoy those moments. Which is why I cherish and look forward to weekends. Growing up my parents worked so much, I can only remember Sunday mornings as the only day where all the famili ...

Recently we got the opportunity to visit Kriser’s Natural Pet, as a pet owner, I am somewhat disappointed to have never even known about Kriser’s or how close it is to my neighborhood. I’ve always had pets in my home since I was a child so I was very excited to explore this new place. I really wanted to take our 5-month-old German Shepherd, Eliza out for an adventure but she tend ...

Today is the first day of Fall! Hooray! I am so excited for Summer to be over with and ready to move on to some cooler weather, pumpkin spiced everything, cute boots, and sweaters. This Summer down here in Houston, like always brutal! Every morning I wonder why even do my makeup, as soon as I step out the door I’m melting. These last few weeks have been especially hot and humid due to rainy ...

It’s almost football season, that time of the year where families get together to root for their favorite team. And whether you go out to view it live or at home, one thing we cannot go without are appetizers. Appetizers are everyone’s favorite part of any football watch party! They help fill-up everyone up and calm the nerves. Here’s a fun recipe that you can whip up in no time before ...

Hard to believe my little baby is now six years old, seems like yesterday I was walking out from the hospital with her in my arms. The first few nights, weeks, months were stressful. As a first time mom, I knew absolutely nothing about the tiny little lady I had birthed. After breastfeeding didn’t go as planned, and trying almost every infant formula out there, Gerber® Good Start® Infant For ...

I am very excited to share with you the first trailer of Lionsgate and Pantelion Films’ upcoming animated release, LA LEYENDA DEL CHUPACABRAS. This family-fun film will make its theater debut on October 14 and we cannot wait to go out and see it. Perfect timing as this movie will come out in Halloween season for those of us Halloween lovers, this one with a bit of humor. Growing up in a Mexi ...

If you’re a latina mom living in the U.S. you know that we spend hours in the kitchen trying to feed our family the same authentic homemade recipes just like mama and Abuelita did back in the day. Do we succeed? Sometimes, although maybe not exactly how they prepared it, but with the same love and dedication as they did. You see in Mexico my grandmother spend hours upon hours preparing daily ...

Every morning when I wake up the first thing I think about is my cafecito, that little cup of Joe we all need to pick us up and get our day off to a great start. From getting the kids ready and off to school to braving the traffic into work, a cafecito is all I need to make my day special. I usually heat up my water and pop open my NESCAFÉ Clásico, the aroma I get as I’m preparing my daily c ...

We’ve all been through hard times at one point or another, but it is especially hard if you are or have children. I am very excited to be once again participating in the Hunger Is campaign at Randalls here in Houston, which runs from September 1st- 30th. I was mind blown last year after finding out that 1 in 5 children here in the USA live in homes without adequate food. On top of that, 10 m ...

Growing up my favorite part of the day has always been mornings. I love waking up early and getting breakfast ready for my family, especially on weekends. Since the kids are now back in school they tend to have their breakfast in school, but when my daughter saw the Malt-O-Meal® cereals I had bought she decided eating breakfast at home would be much tastier. Now when I go grocery shopping I like t ...
