"Imagine a place where nothing is impossible." Of all the things that I thought that I might be writing about, never did I ever imagine that "interviewing George Clooney" would be one of those topics. But that happened and here we are. The context is that Disney Pictures has made a wonderful, oh-so-Disneyesque ...
The Dodgers and The Cubanity
Disclaimer: This post contains an inordinate amount of selfie-type photos of me. Forgive me. I was so over-the-top excited about this night and being where I was and meeting who I met. It's a Cuban thing. Imagine a stadium full of Cubans, all noisy and celebrating and munching on Dodger dogs. Picture them stopping to do the mandatory ...
Celebrating Mother’s Day with My People
I love nothing more than gathering around a laden table full of delicious food and my favorite people. As a matter of fact, my favorite people happen to be my kids. Mother's Day weekend felt like it should have a lot of those moments. But of course, I wanted to spend as much time as possible just visiting with Amy and Adam. And enjoying ...
Hi Mom.
For those of you loyal readers, by know you've figured out that almost every Mother's Day, we (the children of MBFCF) have proudly hijacked our mom's blog with some adorable photos and commentary about how much we love and adore our mom. The first year, we wrote THIS. The following, THIS. You get the idea. This year, ...
My Mother’s Day of Perfection
I was feeling a little sorry for myself because Mother's Day is coming and half of my kids are scattered all over the map. See this story. For us Cubans, as is true for most Hispanic cultures, Mother's Day is like a High Holy Day. Am I right? Either way, I was still going to celebrate with the 2 that are still here and of course, ...
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Review – Marvelous!
Let's face it, I'm already a self-confessed Marvel Fangirl, so I went into the screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron with really high expectations. I am not exaggerating when I say that not only were my expectations met, they were fantastically exceeded. Yes, of course, this much anticipated entry into the Marvel ...
What’s Important Right Now – April
I can't very well let the month of April go without stopping to celebrate the things that I'm grateful for in my very extraordinarily ordinary life. What's important right now? DRIVING a brand new car. So new, in fact, that I don't quite recognize it yet. I told Eric that I felt like I needed an ESCAPE. He took me ...
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron – Press Day
I should probably start with a disclaimer about how this post is going to have lots of photos (you can thank me later) and be really long and fangirly (<--is that a word?) and I'm probably most definitely going to be gushing. (Oh, no! There's going to be gushing?) I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Marvel's ...
Celebrating Kids and Books Featuring Alma Flor Ada
It is my great pleasure to announce that I'm participating in a fabulous celebration of children and books called . The Blog Hop features the very best of Latino children's book illustrators and authors. It's very cool to be a part of such a great group and program. 13 Latino authors and illustrators have been paired up ...
Mother Ring Winner
Do you know what makes me smile? I read each of your comments, particularly the ones from those of you who entered my recent giveaway for the beautiful Mother Ring Charm Holder. And what I read was the pride in those few lines. "These are the names of the people I love most." I love that. And I get it. As a mother, I think I take ...
