Meet The Baby Bash – it’s a Party!

June 29, 2016 By Marta Darby 10 Comments

My newest grandson, Sebastian (we call him Bash) was born a month ago. During the months leading up to his birth my life got a little crazy-busy and I couldn't see myself organizing a baby shower for Amy. I know. Mom fail. But, in my defense, we did get everything she needed for her first few weeks including a rocking chair, diapers, and receiving ...

Outdoor Movie Theatre directional signs for locations such as 221 B Baker Street, the Shire, Camelot, Narnia and Asgard

We are unabashed movie fanatics here at Casa De La Loma. (Click here for the story of how we named our home.)  We spend our summer nights entertaining quite a lot here and having friends over to enjoy our Darby Outdoor Movie Theater. (We have our own Instagram hashtag for this: #DarbySummerMovies, but that's not important right now. Also, I'm ...

When Love Came to Town

June 20, 2016 By Marta Darby 12 Comments

I have fallen in love many times before. The most obvious, of course, is with the man who shares my life and keeps my Cuban crazy in check. I appreciate my husband, Eric so much for that. And then there's always the day each of my four kids was born. Easy-peasy. There was no doubt that those love affairs would continue forever. (Except for the ...

Let me introduce you to ‘Piper’

June 15, 2016 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

It is as inevitable as summer following spring that Disney/Pixar will be releasing a wonderful new summer film. This summer is no different, of course. 'Finding Dory' is on its way into theaters on Friday, June 17th, 2016.  As excited as I am about this sequel to 2003's 'Finding Nemo,' I am equally excited about the beautiful ...

Ropa Vieja Pizza

June 6, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Flatout® Flatbread and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. I have three words for you: Ropa. Vieja. Pizza. That's right. You're going to love me so much by the time you finish reading this.  In my Cuban kitchen there are a few meals that are in constant rotation. I admit I tend to go for quick and easy. And ...

Finding Dory – Let’s Talk About Hank

June 2, 2016 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

Remember that time I went to Monterey, California and spent some time with the brilliant Disney/Pixar filmmakers for "Finding Dory?" (Wait. Let's just stop and appreciate that sentence. Okay. Carry on.) I know. It was a few months back, but I still haven't told you everything. You can read about other portions of my trip here, here, and ...
