Because my children are obedient in the best possible way, they don't even try to challenge me anymore when I make them take the "Mickey-face" picture. I must have hundreds of these, because I insist we take one EVERY TIME. I know. But one day it will be a very cool thing and they will insist their kids do it too, but that's not ...

Ready Or Not . . .
It hit me last night when a friend asked what I was doing this weekend . . . "Oh. My. Goodness! I'm going to be in Miami!" Then my brother, Adam, called, "Amy [he hasn't gotten used to calling me Kikita yet], what should I pack?" Pack? Oh. My. Goodness!I am not even sure where my suitcase IS. Then I get a text ...
A Red Carnation
Luza, my mom. She was twenty-five when she got married. She was twenty-six when she became a mother. She was forty-one when she gave birth to me, the youngest of her six children. She was forty-seven when she found herself exiled in a new and foreign country. She was fifty when she became a grandmother. She was eighty-five when she ...
Blogging Mom – “Wait! That’s ME!”
As if finally getting my cookbook finished and published wasn't enough to make my day.... I was stoked to find this in the Latino Life Notebook section of the Orange County Register. SHUT. UP. =D ...
Memorials and Margaritas
Eric and I just got back from a perfectly relaxing few days spent in San Diego. We went gallery-hopping in La Jolla and out to dinner a couple of times with my niece, Kelley & her husband Jay.We did nothing but rest and relax for days and it was perfectly lovely.There was one day, though, when things could have definitely gone South.... Let me ...
Cuban Festival 2008
Mi gente! Kikita here. Ok, the Cuban Festival in San Dimas was a big party. It started at 10am and went until 7pm. There was a whole side of booths serving Cuban Food and as I walked in with my girlfriends, all we could think about was what we would eat first . . . until . . . I heard the congas playing in the distance and any ...

Como se dice?
There are five different languages that people speak when communicating love. They are:1) Words of affirmation2) Quality time3) Receiving gifts4) Acts of service5) Physical touch (this according to Dr. Gary Chapman the author of the book The Five Love Languages) No, I haven't read the book , so I can't really recommend it, but I think they are ...
I scrap, therefore I am
On the heels of that Super Blogger post I have to laugh because I'm sooo resisting blogging today. I don't feel like I have one original thought to share. In fact, I decided to shut off the Mac and scrapbook a page that I had originally blogged on the 18th of April. But since I am, of course, a blogger, the page I made becomes ...
The BIG Family
After agreeing to take on the massive task of Family Historian, things I never even dreamed of are falling into my lap. Family members are finding photos and remembering stories. I feel like I've discovered buried treasure! And as I start receiving photos and dates, a picture starts to form. And then there are the stories. So many wonderful stories ...
