Our good friends, Gene and Pam were visiting this week, so of course we met them at Disneyland. ;-) My entire goal for this trip, besides spending precious time with my BFF, was to experience Toy Story Mania, the newest attraction at Disney's California Adventure Park. So, I call my niece:"Helen, I'm going to meet Gene and Pam at ...

So many golf courses, so little time…
Okay, so let's say you've been working for the greater part of your adult life. And let's further say that you have worked hard at said job for what seems like a gazillion years. It seems the ideal thing in this situation would be to retire. Am I right? Because there are definitely perks when you retire. For example, your family goes ...
Kikita the Traveling Cook
Kikita here. I know I've told you before about my African friends and how I totally appreciate and adore them. Well, I just had another very Afro-Cuban evening. Meet Exhibit A: My dear friend Cedric.He is studying to be a chef. Have any of you ever been friends with someone going to culinary school? Let me tell you how much fun it is . ...
PP is my BFF
My very best friend, Pam P. (how cool is it to still have a best friend at my age??) and Lover of All Things Disney is having a birthday today. You can read about how much I love her here. She is celebrating her birthday at Disneyland (where else?) this week, so in honor of this auspicious occasion, I thought she would enjoy having her very ...
Is it me?
You know how much I'm loving my white picket fence and so I was thinking how much fun it would be to plant a wall of sunflowers along the fence. Can you picture it? A little sunflower army lined up to greet us each day. (Okay, well, I was sort of fantasizing about that, but that's not important right now.) So we planted the ...
Jonathan finds his groove
My Jonathan is a funny, clever, and creative kid. He's the one who has Big Ideas. Remember his Cuban Racing Monkeys? But Jon is also kind of shy. He's still trying out his personality and testing to see what's going to get a laugh and what's not appropriate and all that. Some of it is his age, but a lot has to do with finding his personal ...
Finding my style
(I'm sharing the following because faithful MBFCF reader, George, was curious, and well, I'll pretty much shamelessly write about anything, but that's not important right now. But, please remember, Mr. Curious George, the blog reader, not the monkey, =D.... you asked for it...) Hi, I'm Marta and I'm a Cuban Online Shopping ...
And then…. the Cuban Family moved in.
Years ago, my big, fat, Cuban family moved to a sleepy peanut-butter-and-jelly neighborhood in Anaheim, California. Our house was at the end of a cul-de-sac where the other families had been living forever. They had their own neighborhood traditions, including a 4th of July Block Party. Life was predictable and quiet and everyone liked it that ...
My hero.
I've mentioned before how we don't choose to have cable and therefore don't get tv channels here where we live. So, my kids don't get to watch tv (I know... poor, losery homeschooled kids... shut up.). They are allowed to watch some movies, especially on our outdoor big screen, and certain approved tv shows. And yes, we ...
Looking for love
Hello my people! It's Kikita here. I'm in serious need of your help. Now, the following may be difficult to believe, but I promise it's the truth. Yes, the beautiful Kikita is still VERY single. (shocking. I know.) "And I'm gonna be 30! . . . SOMEDAY!" (When Harry Met Sally) Anyway, I'm currently facing a couple of obstacles in my ...
