I am doing all the usual things I do on a daily basis.But today I'm also preparing for our Washington D.C. & New York trip. We leave the day after tomorrow and I'll be mobile blogging while there, but that's not important right now. We are going with our homeschool group and are pretty excited. Well, the kids are ...
Lifestyle
Posts about everything going on in my life. Enjoy!
Oh, the places we went . . .
It is time for the true story of what happened last week.I, Kikita, would like to apologize for my tardiness in explanation, but (as you can see) I've been rather busy DOING things so WRITING about them is not the highest priority. But I digress . . . You already have an idea of what Sheila and I were up to because Mami wasn't too far off ...
What goes around…
I want a new phone. It’s totally a pie-in-the-sky daydream at this point. I have a perfectly capable and lovely Verizon LG that does everything I want it to do. It's just that I saw a brand new one that looks better. *sigh* So, while I was driving around feeling sorry for my poor over-privileged, super-entitled self, (I know. Shut up.) ...

Hunting and Gathering
My internet connection is out again. (And so is my back, but that's not important right now) so it works out that I'm not sitting at my computer today. That's right... I'm Mobile Blogging once again. =) But in spite of my own personal discomfort, I still have to go out and procure provisions for my family. (it's part of my job description as The ...

Best of Both Worlds
WARNING: A little bit of a homeschool rant coming up.... I'm always a surprised that when people discover that we homeschool our children they ask two primary questions.You would think the questions would have to do with the actual mechanics of doing school at home, but they don't. (I know. It's shocking to me, too.) If you ...
Testing..1…2…
No internet connection today. It's either a problem with Cox or with our router. (so says Tech-Guru husband) *HEAVY SIGH* But. if you're reading this, it means I have figured out how to post from my phone...and this might be sort of accidentally cool, no? =) Anyway...I found this on the shelf of my local Target today and I wanted to share but ...
Café con Leche y Pan Tostado – Breakfast of Champions
Growing up in a Cuban household means drinking coffee. A lot of coffee. And it means learning how to make coffee at an early age. For most of us Cuban kids our first words were, “Mami. Papi. Café.” We’re not just talking about any coffee here. We’re talking super-sweet and tasty espresso. In fact, recalling my early childhood, I think Cuban parents ...
Picture perfect
Okay. So I know this photo is completely out of focus. And I know my hair looks witchy-weird (it actually was performing really well, but you can't tell from this picture. *sigh*) But in spite of all that, I love it. I love that we were caught by our neighbor practicing our salsa dancing on the front lawn. ("Those Darbys are at it ...
