Keeping the Faith – A Giveaway
There have been a lot of twists and turns in my personal life (and in the country at large) this past week. It's times like these that send me looking (running!) for comfort. Because I'm Cuban, I can usually find my comfort in the kitchen. (Don't judge me.) A fabulous sofrito, a perfect arroz con pollo a la chorrera, or a sweet flan ...

IMUSA & Autism Speaks (A Giveaway)
Because we have homeschooled for so many years, we have had the privilege of getting to know, not just other homeschooled kids, but entire families who choose to homeschool their kids.

Home-Ec 101 (A Winner)
I'm kind of delighted to learn that so many of you have mad skills in one area and are deficient in others (says the woman who is Organizationally Challenged). I hope you'll all get yourselves a copy of Heather's book. She has so much wisdom to teach us all. My copy is already dog-eared and post-it-noted. *sigh* What? You put things ...

It’s the Little Things (A Giveaway from IMUSA)
Growing up Cuban has always meant turning normal size things into the diminutive form. When there were Everest-sized mountains of sandwiches, they were called "bocaditos." Or "just a mouthful." Lies. It took more than "just a bite" to consume these particular delicacies. We don't just drink café, we have a ...

Orange(!) is the new black. (A Giveaway)
I am waiting (a little impatiently) for my fabulous new kitchen appliances to be delivered. I think we're still about a week out from that. You would think I'd be totally content now since I'm getting all new appliances, but you know how it is, suddenly everything starts looking like it needs upgrading or replacing. *sigh* There is, ...
