Work Hard, Play Hard with Playtex® Sport®  #FitToPlay #CollectiveBias #Ad

Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FitToPlay #CollectiveBias My teenage daughter and I are always on the go but we have different lifestyles. I'm usually at work trying to decide what the dinner menu is and running across town to see my teen play her game before heading home to cook and clean. After school you can find my teen rushing to softball practice and waiting for me to pick her for voice lessons Continue Reading

Gift Ideas for Teens -Academy Sports & Outdoors  and Win a $100 Gift Card #ItsaDaisy #Shop #Ad

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #ItsaDaisy Now that my children are older, thinking of Christmas gifts ideas can becomes difficult. I can buy them the latest tech gadget but I'm always looking for ways to unplug and spend time outdoors. Between football season, baseball, softball and volleyball my kids are very active. But they also enjoy outdoor sports like archery or target practice using their air Continue Reading

Celebrate My Drive- Promote Safe Teen Driving + A $50 Gift Card Giveaway #ManejaConCuidado

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

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

Make a Commitment Today #CelebrateMyDrive

October 21, 2013 by Maria

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and State Farm. However, all opinions expressed are my own. It's time! The State Farm Celebrate My Drive Campaign is now taking commitments to celebrate safe driving. Guess what is the first thing I noticed when I went on the website> As of right now, a Louisiana school is in the Top 5 Small School Leader-board. The more commitments each school received the better chance your school has to win a school grant. As a mother of a Continue Reading

State Farm & Safety plus a Giveaway #CelebrateMyDrive

October 9, 2013 by Maria

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and State Farm. However, all opinions expressed are my own. In my last State Farm Celebrate My Drive post I mentioned that my teen daughter will be entering a new phase of her life shortly by becoming a teen driver. I am so nervous about this stage but with the help of so many organizations doing their best to promote safe teen drivers, it makes the transition a little easier to manage as a parent. Celebrate My Drive® is a Continue Reading

Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog

April 29, 2013 by Maria

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

April 28, 2013 by Maria

The following is a Sponsored Post. Giveaway listed below is provided by Hasbro. All opions and thoughts are as always, my own. As a young child living in Los Angeles, my mother was extremely protective of us. Since she was a single mother for so many years, she was always working to provide for my older brother & I. This meant I spent a lot of time with my older brother and enjoyed playing with him every weekend when we were not in school. By playing, I mean playing with HIS toys. We played Continue Reading

Discover The All-New 2013 Nissan Sentra #descubresentra

April 23, 2013 by Maria

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

April 21, 2013 by Maria

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
