Happy New Year Cuban Food Poster(s) Giveaway
I've got all this great Happy New Year energy going right now and I have so many stories to tell and I'm going to San Francisco next week to visit Pixar and Skywalker Ranch. I just feel like I want to share the love and happy vibes. If you were in my town, I'd say, "Hey, come over for dinner. I'll cook you something ...
I’m going to Skywalker Ranch and Pixar. (Don’t hate me.)
You know that thing we Cubans do on New Year's Eve? Not just the eating of the 12 grapes and throwing the bucket of water out into the street, but the one about carrying a suitcase out into the middle of the street at midnight if you want to travel in the coming year? If you are confused about any of these Cuban New Year's Eve Traditions, ...
The Thing About Being Cuban Right Now
I don't usually post political opinion here on my blog. I have on occasion written about politics regarding Cuba because it's not just politics to me. It falls more under the umbrella of home town gossip. Cuban politics in particular aren't just things that are happening 3,000 miles away. They affect real people in my life. ...
A Red Letter Day
In looking to review the things I have not blogged about, particularly parties from this year, I came across the photos we took last year at Christmas. And in keeping with my theme of Oversharing About My Parties Week, and since it's December, I thought I'd actually share some holiday party stuff from last year. (Because I'm usually ...

In my family of origin we have the custom of always sending out invitations to events that people already know about and are coming to anyway. Welcome to our own special brand of crazy. Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday of November. My sisters and I are pretty much in constant discussion for weeks ahead of the party. Who will bring what? ...

For those of you who don't know, Etsy ...
Movie Review: Big Hero 6
A few weeks ago Eric and I had the good fortune to enjoy a pre-screening of the newest Disney Animation film, Big Hero 6. Because we live a few area codes away from Burbank, where the Walt Disney Animation Studio is located, we turned it into a Road Trip/Date Night. First of all, let me say that I had no preconception of the movie, nor ...
Big Hero 6 Press Junket at the Disney Animation Studios
Last year I had the privilege of attending an event at the Disney Animation Studio and I was overwhelmed by pretty much everything I saw and experienced. That was for Frozen. You would think, then, that I would not be very impressed with the idea of going back again to attend a press junket for Walt Disney Animation Studios' newest ...
