When I started blogging three and a half years ago, I thought about why I wanted to do this. I decided I wanted to write stories about my life and what it's like to live "on the hyphen." I wanted you (my readers) to feel right at home. I wanted you to laugh and cry with us. I wantedyou to feel like you wanted to be friends with us ...
Giveaways
WHAT? Another Giveaway!?
Here at MBFCF we are putting together A Press Kit. (I know. Shut up.) It feels like graduation time. We have received a few queries from various advertisers asking if they can advertise on our blog. (Crazy, isn't it? But, seriously, we're totally smiling from ear to ear.) We couldn't have come this far without you, our loyal ...
Winner!
I love giveaways. But I hate to choose just one person. What a conundrum! So I go to Random.org. and I enter all of your names and it chooses for me, thereby sparing me the pain. ;-) Without further ado, here's the winner of the Crisco basket:Anne Marie said...Marta- I want this so bad! I love cooking. Plus, I've never won ...
I *heart* olive oil.
I don't know what staple of my kitchen I love more than olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil to be exact. (Please don't call it EVOO in my presence, that's just weird. Thank you.) So I was delighted when the good folks at Crisco contacted me and asked if I'd like to receive a basket of their goodies. (Well, technically, a basket of ...
Lattes for you!
Thanks to everyone who left comments told their latte stories. The very cool got milk? giveaway goes to:Michele caridad said...Totally should have been there as a room full of flavored and perfectly prepared cafe con leche is defenitely my version of heaven! And side note... Everytime I think of cafe con leche I think of my nephews ...
Whole lotta latte
Kikita here! Last week, Mami and I stumbled into a weird and wonderful world.(Ok, we didn't really stumble, we were invited and we took Lucy & Katie with us, but that's not important right now.) A land of milk and honey. (Ok, mostly milk and I don't think there was any honey at all, but that is not important right now ...
I scream. You scream. We all scream….
When I was pregnant with Amy (26 years ago) there was only one thing that I constantly craved.Ice cream.Not just any old pedestrian-out-of-the-carton ice cream, either. It had to be from Baskin Robbins. There happened to be a BR just up the street, walking distance (technically, waddling) from my home at the time. And during my 9 months of ...
3 Things
Wow! Okay, three things...I am amazed and grateful and a little overwhelmed at the generous outpouring of kindness and good wishes from all of you. I am sad that I can't give something away to every single person. I am excited to send stuff to three of you. =)I made a list of all your names in order of comment and plugged that into ...
… is a Magic Number
Three years ago today I started this blog. I started writing about the people I love and the things we do and the places we go. Along the way I found out three things:I love blogging. I didn't know that I would. But I do. I'm Cuban and a storyteller at heart. Blogging is a great fit for me.I love interacting with you. This is ...
And the got milk? goodie bag winner is…
I hate a love/hate relationship with giveaways. 1) I love, love, love having stuff to give away! And being a world-class game player, this is really fun for me.2) Plus, I love how you guys just spontaneously share from the heart. Your comments are always interesting and fun for me to read. Not to mention how it's gotten me thinking of trying ...
