Break the Routine: Mexican-Vietnamese Iced Coffee #MomentoNESCAFE

Every morning when I wake up the first thing I think about is my cafecito, that little cup of Joe we all need to pick us up and get our day off to a great start. From getting the kids ready and off to school to braving the traffic into work, a cafecito is all I need to make my day special. I usually heat up my water and pop open my NESCAFÉ Clásico, the aroma I get as I’m preparing my daily c ...

All opinions expressed are my own. #CocinaLatinaBeans Every Saturday my mom, Naty and I go to one of Houston’s most popular taquerias for breakfast…or at least we try to go every Saturday before 8am to avoid the long lines.

I first started taking the bus at the age of 17 to get to school. To get there I would have to wake up at 5 am ...

Growing up my favorite part of the day has always been mornings. I love waking up early and getting breakfast ready for my family, especially on weekends. Since the kids are now back in school they tend to have their breakfast in school, but when my daughter saw the Malt-O-Meal® cereals I had bought she decided eating breakfast at home would be much tastier. Now when I go grocery shopping I like t ...

In today’s day and age, it’s so easy to get distracted away from those that matter most to us. We all seem to think that with all the technology we have we’re closer… but have you noticed that when you sit whether at the dinner table or living room with family members, while some may hold a conversation most are looking down to their phones? I get it, we all want to know wh ...

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 ...

During summer, weeken ...

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nabisco and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions and text are all mine. Every day after my daughter gets home from school, I give her a big hug because I’ve missed her and I want to know how her day went. But of course, the answer I always get is “Bien. Mami que hay de comer, tengo mucha hambre.” meaning “Good. Mommy what did ...

One of the hardest stages in our children’s life has to be potty training. Every mom has her child’s own story and every child is indeed different as to what works for them and when they’re ready to finally say “Goodbye diapers, hello training pants!“ What worked for my daughter definitely has not worked for my niece, Eliana. She has had a hard time letting go of her ...

Recently we got the opportunity to visit Kriser’s Natural Pet, as a pet owner, I am somewhat disappointed to have never even known about Kriser’s or how close it is to my neighborhood. I’ve always had pets in my home since I was a child so I was very excited to explore this new place. I really wanted to take our 5-month-old German Shepherd, Eliza out for an adventure but she tend ...
