General Mills Cereal and Star Wars Bring Fun back to Breakfast!

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 ...

Now that school has started I have less time to sit and eat with my daughter to talk and enjoy breakfast or lunch together. When she comes home she eats dinner and then starts on her homework, leaving little time to enjoy those moments. Which is why I cherish and look forward to weekends. Growing up my parents worked so much, I can only remember Sunday mornings as the only day where all the famili ...

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 ...

Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving!!! How is going for ya? Are you stuffed and ready to hit up all the Black Friday sales? So I just wanted to share a few photos from today’s Thanksgiving Parade in downtown Houston. This is our first time attending, and you will notice that from the pictures I will be sharing with you. Initially our “plan” was to wake up really early like 6 am, get th ...

The first few times I thought about having children and speaking to them in English, I had the main ideas clear and very few doubts. It seemed to me that it made sense, that it was interesting and that, just as I talk to my students or to other people in English, I would do it with my son. All the questions and doubts came when I started. I had my son in my arms and I was going to start speaking t ...

As a first-time mom, I had many questions and doubts when my daughter was born. I constantly asked friends and family, particularly my mom for advice to see if I was doing everything correctly. I have to say that my mom’s best advice to me was to use Huggies® Little Snugglers along with Huggies Natural Care® wipes to keep her skin soft, clean and healthy. I love how the brand provides the be ...

Who else get’s excited when walking by the baby section at the store? I love looking through the super cute and tiny little outfits for babies, and although I have no plans for another just yet, I do love stopping by to take a look just in case I ever need anything. This past weekend was my cousin’s baby shower for her third baby girl! I was so excited to finally shop for someone expec ...

I recently gave birth to my son 5 months ago, and still it feels like it was just yesterday. And honestly, since then I’ve been a mess. As moms, we tend to put ourselves at the back of the line for just about everything. I know I sometimes manage to forget or just not have enough time to sit down and eat a proper meal or enjoy a refreshing drink. Hydration is the most important way to keep ...

Today is the first day of Fall! Hooray! I am so excited for Summer to be over with and ready to move on to some cooler weather, pumpkin spiced everything, cute boots, and sweaters. This Summer down here in Houston, like always brutal! Every morning I wonder why even do my makeup, as soon as I step out the door I’m melting. These last few weeks have been especially hot and humid due to rainy ...

We’ve all been through hard times at one point or another, but it is especially hard if you are or have children. I am very excited to be once again participating in the Hunger Is campaign at Randalls here in Houston, which runs from September 1st- 30th. I was mind blown last year after finding out that 1 in 5 children here in the USA live in homes without adequate food. On top of that, 10 m ...
