English: My family & I have a very busy schedules. Throughout the year my children participate in various sports. They need strong bones and a balanced diet each and every morning. The glass of milk they have in the morning gives my children & I the nutrients we need to start the day so we can energy and help build strong bones. For me, I normally start my day with milk & some fresh fruit. My children will start their morning off with cereal, waffles or eggs, fresh fruit and a Continue Reading
Score A Winning Recipe w/ Marc Forgione & Macy’s @CulinaryCouncil in #NOLA 2/2/13
My husband & I love football. Every week during football season we have a mini football party for the kids. They know that once we leave church on Sunday...it's game time! We get the house ready, food in the over and start prepping for our football party menu to be complete. So you can only imagine what our plans are for Super Bowl Sunday!! To add even more excitement to our normal football party, we get to add the fact that New Orleans is host to Super Bowl XLV11. It really couldn't get any Continue Reading
Reyes Magos with Net10 Wireless #Net10Latino
Culture & tradition is something my husband & I try very hard to instill in our young children. Last Sunday, January 6th was Dia de los Reyes or Rayes Magos which many Latino families celebrate. Living in the New Orleans area, we call it Twelfth night (Epiphany or the 1st day of Carnival Season). Although the similarities in the 2 holidays is similar, we try to maintain the family aspect of Rayes Magos on January 6th since Carnival Season is something my children are extremely family Continue Reading
In 2013 I Want To……
I'm back from my blogging vacation! Nothing can beat spending an peaceful Christmas & New Years with those you love the most in this world. But now that we have embarked into a new year, and so have our directions in life. As usual so many of us have made resolutions (or made a resolutions of having NO resolutions). I have decided to do something that many of us already do except I'm saying it "out loud". With an uncertain economy & our society unraveling a small thread of morality on Continue Reading

Fashion Meet Comfort: Fashion FLEXY®/Haute Things, Inc Giveaway Ends 12/24
Sometimes finding items in our everyday wardrobe that are fashionable and comfortable for everyday use can be very hard to find. During my 9-5 job healthcare job, I always start my day with my hair down, freshly flat-ironed, and looking completely together. Before lunchtime I find myself looking for my elastic ponytail around my wrists (that cuts off blood circulation) and pinning my hair back. Those very same elastic bands are not good for my hair in the first place more nor are they Continue Reading
Adding Soybean Oil to Your Fun & Festive Baking Recipes + $25 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway #SoyParaSoy #Spon
One of my favorite things to do with the kids during the holidays is bake. I use my days off of my 9-5p.m job to focus on quality time with the kids, so baking seems to be the best way to multitask with them. But it seems I'm not the only one baking for my children this time of year. Since they are receiving treats from neighbors, our church family, grandparents and naturally their school classroom, I need to focus on the ingredients I use in my family recipes. I am by far not a "health foodie", Continue Reading
A “Gumbo” of Flavors: Winn-Dixie Holiday Recipes To Impress E-book #WDLocalHoliday
To say my family's recipes are bursting with flavor would be a complete understatement. Since we are local to the New Orleans area & are a Hispanic family as well, our family recipe book would be considered a "gumbo" of flavors. Start off with a thick spicy Creole base, add our Mexican & Guatemalan stock & seasonings, chop up some Cajun Sausage and last but certainly not least, add some rich hearty Mississippi southern poultry (aka Sanderson's Farm). Stir slowly & simmer to have a complete taste Continue Reading
