I celebrated my 4th blogging anniversary (blogaversary?) at the beginning of this month. I appreciate that so many of you sent congratulatory emails and posted here and wrote happy things on my Facebook wall. It was very cool to receive all the good wishes and all that, but my friend, Cigar Mike took the congratulating up a notch. He sent me ...
blog friends
El Palacio and me. (It was love at first sight.)
I've been home for a week now and I'm still processing all the wonderful things I got to do and experience in Miami. I'll be writing about the trip little by little as I sort through my stuff and check my mental rolodex to remind myself of the stories I want to tell. This particular one, I videotaped. (I know! Shut up!) I'm ...
I Parranda and I Do Laundry – Multi-tasking the Cuban Way
I'm still recovering from my The Traumatic Thwarting of My Trip Home by the POTUS. Thank you all for your concern. I'm definitely home now and back to my real life which includes laundry and laundry and more laundry and I have some videos I have to edit - in between loads of laundry. I'll tell you all about Blogalicious Weekend and ...
Taking Some Well-Earned R & R
I have been in Miami all weekend having an amazing time. I've spent time with some fabulous blog friends and eaten Cuban food and even danced in a club in South Beach. (But I'll deny it if you tell anyone.) But now my amazing Blogalicious weekend is coming to an end. Frankly, I'm on overload from people and ideas and even ...
Abre que voy!
I'm having one of those accidentally cool things happening that happens to me occasionally because I live in a fun bloggy world. I am traveling to Miami for Blogalicious Weekend 2010. Celebrating Diversity in Social Media. (The words celebrating and social seem like they describe me perfectly. Am I right?) My trip is being sponsored in full by ...
When is a Pitbull NOT a pitbull?
It seems that lately I've been getting invited to all kinds of "events"- apparently bloggers are the new press. Who knew? Iwas invited by a fellow Latina blogger, Ana Flores from Spanglish Baby (Thanks again, Ana!) to come to the launch of the new Victoria's Secret perfume called Bombshell. It turns out that one of ...
Of IPhones and Bracelets and Best Friends Forever
Every summer there's a ton of art festivals held here in nearby Laguna Beach. The Sawdust Festival is one of our favorites. My niece, Natalie, actually works there and gets us in for free. (Win!) So, last year I found this beautiful silver bracelet that I fell in love with and so I bought it. Mine has white fresh-water pearls and ...

Baking With Betty – Brownieliciousness
I am home and overwhelmed at the amazingness that is the Betty Crocker Kitchens. I'll be writing multiple posts (and sharing multiple recipes!) about the kitchens, the company culture and the fun we had, because there's just so much to share. (Plus, I'm waiting for a few Betty Crocker goodies to arrive so I can do a giveaway. Thanks, ...
I’m Baking With Betty (don’t try to stop me!)
So, I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I'll be here for a few days. Where will I be spending my time, you ask? I'll be in the BETTY CROCKER KITCHENS!!! (<--Yes, that was a noisy burst of nerdy enthusiasm.) I'll be Baking With Betty. (Along with a group of bloggers also invited by General Mills, but that's not important right ...
