Celebrate My Drive- Promote Safe Teen Driving + A $50 Gift Card Giveaway #ManejaConCuidado
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with State Farm and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Having a teen is hard enough but adding a teen driving is almost unthinkable. According to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance risky behaviors while driving such as not wearing a seat belt, texting while driving or riding in a car driven by someone who had been drinking is higher among Hispanic teens. No matter how mature I *think* my teen is Continue Reading
My Morning Routine – Quaker Breakfast Shakes #Sponsored
This post was created in partnership with Quaker. All thoughts and opinions are my own. There is no excuse for not eating a well-balance breakfast in the morning but I have a hard time in squeezing a simple bowl of cereal more less a healthy breakfast. Every minute is important to this mom so I find myself grabbing a quick Quaker Breakfast Shake before heading to work every morning. Drinking a chocolate flavored Quaker Breakfast Shake doesn't seem very healthy for you but in fact Continue Reading

Celebrate My Drive® is a Continue Reading
Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog
This post is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. They say "Home is where the heart is" but sometimes being at home isn't always a possible. Being a blogger, I sometimes have to travel out of state without my family. Naturally I can connect with family on social media, but sometimes you want to hear your loved ones voice or have a private quick conversation as time permits. As connected as I may be to my mobile device, my entire family isn't as connected do Continue Reading
ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS Toy Giveaway Ends 5/3
The following is a Sponsored Post. Giveaway listed below is provided by Hasbro. All opions and thoughts are as always, my own.

Discover The All-New 2013 Nissan Sentra #descubresentra
I remember when I was a senior in high school, the parking lots were full of teen cars. Some were brand new, some belonged to the parents of the students, and some were used vehicles bought specifically for a new driver. One vehicle we saw a lot growing up was a Nissan Sentra. Parents chose Nissan due to it's being economical, dependable, and long-lasting. Since I didn't drive when I was in high school, my 1st (almost) New Car was a Nissan. It was 3 years old and previously a government car Continue Reading
Finding A Refreshing Snack Alternative in Chunk O’ Fruti Fruit Bars #FreshNFruti #Cbias
The following is a sponsored post. As always, all opinions are my own. As our school aged children (ages 8 & almost 13 yrs old) get older, I'm finding that they are starting to make their own food choices outside of my home. Whether it's at school, at friend's house, or at local events I have to trust that they are going to make the "right" choice. But choosing healthy snacks isn't always easy. We love fruit in my home. Seriously, I haven't met a fruit my son won't eat, but I generally Continue Reading
