As a mom, I am always looking for ways to nourish her possibilities and help inspire my daughter to dream big. I always tell her she can grow up to be anything she wants, if she has a passion for it and is determined, she will achieve all of her dreams. Growing up, I had a group of very inspiring teachers who always taught us that it did not matter where we came from, all that mattered were our dr ...

Howdy! So we are now on our second week of 2016, it’s finally time to get started on all those resolutions and goals we planned at the end of 2015. Have you started? I meant to have this post up yesterday (Monday), but as it was my first day, first time ever detoxing by body, I really felt terrible. I started off great in the morning as I always do as soon as I wake up is drink some water, a ...

So now that winter has officially started, comes the time when we look for other fun activities to do indoors. One of my favorite ways of spending time with the kids is at the movies, in fact we were out at the movie theater just last weekend. I always let the kids choose a movie because I enjoy watching animated movies, it’s a moment where I get to forget about everything going on in the re ...

How have you kicked off your 2016? Are you sticking to your New Year’s resolutions? I let go of making resolutions a few years ago and just stuck to doing my best, whether it’s to losing some pounds, making healthier choices, or being a little more confident with myself. Last week we ended off the year exercising and going to the park to run up and down the hill. I will confess I didn& ...

As a Mexican-American, the holidays in December bring somewhat of a nostalgia to me, and that’s because not all of my family viles here in the U.S. Growing up we spent every school breaks visiting family in Mexico, my favorite was visiting during Christmas. Today marks the beginning of Las Posadas, a beautiful Mexican tradition that lasts nine days Dec. 16- 24th, which commemorates the nine ...

I’m proud to say that my Naty was a Huggies baby, she used Huggies up until she was potty trained. Huggies Little Movers has been the only diaper brand the kids in our family use, that includes Eliana, my little two-year-old niece who stays over for many playdates. Naty and Eliana have completely different personalities- Naty has always been our little performer, she loves to sing and dance ...

Who doesn’t miss the surprise toys inside cereal boxes?! I sure do! I remember as a kid my brother and I would wake up extra early be the first one to open the cereal box and get the prize toy that would come inside. Those were the good old days when kids looked forward to breakfast time. So when I learned that General Mills cereal would be offering 6 collectible Star Wars droid view finders ...

Growing up in Texas, we made frequent trips to Mexico. During these trips the place I was always excited about visiting was my dad’s old job to catch up on some lucha libre. He was a wrestler back in the 80’s so it was awesome to walk in and have every wrestler greet you before their match, but with the building having no a/c we would ask mom for money to go outside and buy some frozen ...

One brand I have stuck with along the way due to there stylish looks and convenient ways is Huggies Wipes.  Being a young mom I always loved that the Huggie ...
