BTS Savings – Save Big w/ T-Mobile Prepaid Plans @TMobileDeals #TMobile {ad}
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post from Coupons.com. I love my daughter but the one constant argument we have (aside from cleaning her bedroom) is her cell phone. I don't understand how she can use 3X the amount of data that I use and almost 9x more than her father does. We hate change but we decided that enough was enough and are moving her to a pre-paid plan. With numerous plans out there it's hard to choose where to go with our daughter's mobile plan but after numerous people Continue Reading

JCPenney-Empowering Girls Through Soccer and Academics #JCPFanaticas #HispanicHeritageMonth Ad
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with JCPenney and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Once upon a time before Mommyhood, I was a student athlete. I didn't just play a sport, I was a very successful, competitive athlete. My teenage daughter knows about my "glory days" but other mom's probably have no clue. Why? Because I know the pressure that comes with being a teen athlete. Every parent thinks their the coach, referees make bad calls and every child Continue Reading

From Pigtails to Teen Driving #CelebrateMyDrive
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and State Farm. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Having a teen is scary! There are no "What to Expect" books on teen parenting and really, not much information regarding transitioning our children from teen to young adults. As my daughter gets older, I'm finding that I rely on my friends who are experiencing the same milestones to help guide me through the ups and downs of teen parenting. Teen driving is just around Continue Reading
