The Best Strawberry Snack Ever

August 14, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by California Strawberries and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. I can't say where this simple recipe originated but I can say for certain that every time I've served it to my guests, it's always met first with happiness.  "Yay, strawberries!" Of course, because who doesn't love fresh summer strawberries? ...

Pero… Let Me Tell You!

July 27, 2018 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

Nothing delights me more than to find other like-minded Cuban Cubiches.  I remember when I was growing up here in Southern California and other Cubans were hard to come by. It was always a big deal to find out someone was Cuban. Like finding buried treasure.  Speaking of treasure, I want to share with you a fabulous podcast based out of Miami ...

Cafecito is Life

July 19, 2018 By Marta Darby

This post is sponsored by my favorite coffee people, Café La Llave. The opinions contained in this piece are all my very own. I often say I lead a charmed life and I have the history to back up that claim.  I'm Cuban which already makes me feel super lucky.  I live here in the U.S.A. which makes my life doubly charmed.  Being Cuban and ...

Get On Your Feet!

July 16, 2018 By Marta Darby 10 Comments

This post is sponsored by Al Punto Advertising. The opinions contained are all my own. I recently wrote all about how excited I was to be attending the Opening Night for the Emilio and Gloria Estefan Broadway Musical, "On Your Feet!" I mean, of course I had expectations going in because who doesn't love Gloria Estefan and her music?  But the ...

The Rhythm is Gonna Get You

June 20, 2018 By Marta Darby 8 Comments

This post is sponsored by my friends at Al Punto Advertising. The opinions contained in this piece are all my very own. At the end of 2015 I began to hear rumors of a new Broadway show. It was the story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan (with their music as the soundtrack, of course) and how they rose to fame. It was fittingly called 'On Your ...

For the Love of Cuban Food

June 20, 2018 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Align Probiotics. All opinions that follow are my own.} Can I just tell you the weirdest-best-maybe-worst thing for me about Empty Nesting? Going from cooking for a large family to cooking for two. You would think I'd be celebrating the simplified meal prep, but a lifelong habit of cooking for a ...

The Party’s Over

June 13, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Bounty Paper Towels. All opinions that follow are my own.} One of the loveliest things in my life right now is the gift of my gorgeous grand-boys, Asher and Sebastian. While Asher is 2,980 miles away in Washington DC, Sebastian (you may call him Bash) lives 5 minutes away and is in our lives ...

Ladies Who Lunch

June 5, 2018 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Align Probiotics. All opinions that follow are my own.} If you follow me on social media, you may find yourself wondering: "When does she ever rest?" I admit that I don't show the messier side of my life. Especially for public consumption. Mostly because, I can't personally imagine taking a ...

Solo: A Star Wars Story Review

May 25, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

When I first heard that Solo: A Star Wars Story was being made,  I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it.  My first question was: Is this really a story that needs to be told?  My son, Jon and I were discussing this very thing as we drove to the screening of the film - about an hour and a half away. (In California we measure distances by drive ...

The Solo: A Star Wars Story Junket Was Out of This World

May 23, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

A long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... When I first saw those words crawling across a screen back in May of 1977, I didn't realize that the film, Star Wars, would have such an impact on my life for years and years to come. That first viewing cemented my relationship with the characters, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Obi-wan, and Darth Vader. I would ...

To the right is a tall podium.  Welcome to the Avengers: Infinity War Press Conference. Held last Sunday afternoon in LA at the beautiful Montage Beverly Hills, it was a day filled ...

This post is sponsored by my favorite coffee people, Café La Llave. The opinions contained in this piece are all my very own. Someone asked me the other day about Cuban Coffee.

Empty Nesting Like A Boss

April 12, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Bounty Paper Towels. All opinions that follow are my own.} As I watch my daughter, Amy wrestle with her almost 2 year old, Sebastian, I often think to myself: “She has no idea how time will start accelarating from this point on.” As those of us who have raised children into adulthood very well ...

Happy International Panda Day (who knew?)

March 16, 2018 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

{This post is in cooperation with IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures. I was not compensated for this, although Warner Bros. sent me a cute little plush panda for Sebastian - thanks, WB! -  but all the opinions stated here are my own.} It's International Panda Day, people!
