This is Kikita here to wish you all a Merry Christmas! As I'm sure most of you know by now, every year I cut together a family Christmas video. This year marked the 10 year anniversary of this tradition so I knew I had to really step things up. When looking back on all the things that happened in our family over the past year the re-occurring theme ...

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 ...
He Danced With Me
The following post has been brought to you by the lovely and talented (and oh-so-humble) Kikita. About 10 years ago, when I was an adorable teenager who didn't remember much of the Spanish she'd spoken as a child, I saw the movie "Dance with Me." It was magical. There was a beautiful Puerto Rican guy (Chayanne) who was playing ...
Jimmy Smits is Stalking Me.
Kikita here. You know, the Center of the Universe? =DI'm here to tell you that Jimmy Smits is following me around Los Angeles.Never mind that I live in Orange County.When Mami and I were sitting front row at the Andy Garcia concert, we saw Mr. Smits come in the side door. (Yes, he IS a part-owner of the Conga Room where Andy was playing, ...
“Bet it all on black!”
This post has been brought to you courtesy of Kikita. After meeting Desi, Mami and I continued on our way to Fabulous Las Vegas. Right as we turned onto Las Vegas Blvd., Mami asked if I'd like to stop and take a picture at the classic sign. I was in a "seize the moment" kind of mood, so we did. (It feels like good luck/karma/whatever ...

My Redemption Song
This post was written by Kikita. A few months ago I received an email in my inbox and all it had was a picture attached.This picture: Did I notice "El Gran Combo" (a group that, as a salsera, I have grown to love)? Of course not.I only had eyes for Willy.Immediately, I send Mami an email. There was no question as to whether we were ...
Fiddling on the Roof
The following post was written by Kikita.For Lucy's Happy Sweet 16th Birthday, Mami got tickets for us all to see the stage show “Fiddler on the Roof” on opening night. (Luckily, opening night also happened to be Lucy's birthday, is that so accidentally cool or what?)Anyway, the moment Topol walked out onto the stage the audience ...
Hi Adam! I Love You!
Kikita here. Today is a very special day. It is the 23rd anniversary of the day I became a big sister.(Of course, that means I had someone else I could dress - and make them dress like me.) Yes, this is the day all hopes of being an only child were stolen from me and the word "SHARE" entered my life.I was the one who wanted a cat. It ...
Birthday Musings from a Golden goddess
Obviously, I, Kikita is the Golden goddess (little "g"), wrote this post. My birthday is two weeks away. I'm going to be 26. TWENTY-SIX!! I am a HUGE fan of birthdays. I am the midnight caller singing a cheesy song (because the traditional "Happy Birthday" just wouldn't be enough). My philosophy is that a birthday is ...
