You know... with a big, fat, Cuban family like mine, there's bound to be a birthday every month.And I'm bound to forget some birthdays, too. (Sue me. I'm human. =D) But I remembered that today is my niece, Natalie's birthday. Happy Birthday, Natzinhimer!NOTE: I remember this date because, being an uber-geek, we celebrate ...

Not enough superlatives
My nephew, John-Paul was married last Friday to the lovely Jennifer Jo. There are not enough superlatives to describe how perfectly beautiful the entire affair was. (Except for the part where my sisters and mom showed up at a different wedding claiming to be the groom, John-Paul's aunts and grandmother. "That's great, but this is ...
I didn’t forget you, John
When you have as many people as I do in my big, fat, Cuban family, practically every day is a celebration. Weddings. Engagements. Birthdays. Weddings. Birthdays. Weddings and Birthdays. ad infinitum. And sadly, there are a few that I've missed or have fallen through the blog-cracks. (I feel bad. *sigh*) Today is my nephew, John-Paul's ...
You have my permission…
This is for my niece, Nicole and her new husband, Isaac, who have been BUSY this last month. (It's not like she had an old husband or anything, I mean that he is new to her, as in they are newlyweds, or freshly married, or....oh, you know what I mean....) Here's some wordle word art I made for you:These two have had an awfully ...
Sapo verde eres tu
I don't know her very well, because, well, she lives in Miami and I'm here in So Cal. We've a little bit of face-time in the past year, but not enough to where I can say I know everything there is to know about her. But I do know this..... Not only did my nephew, Michael, fall in love with her, so has every single person in our big, ...
Ninety-five.
She still dyes her hair and wears makeup every day.She only wears her glasses for reading because she's a little vain about her looks.She remembers everyone's birthday.If you're sick, she'll call you every day until you report that you are well.She saves every card from every birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas and works ...
Nothing but style…
A very Happy Birthday wish to my nephew, Mr. Michael Verdés, who has been working diligently since he was a kid to make the Top Ten Best Dressed Cuban Men List. (I don't even know if there is such a thing, but that's not important right now....)You're not just on the list, you RULE the list, mister! Happy Birthday, ...
The Man Child
I have some well-chosen adjectives that describe my kids. What I happen to love about the following list of adjectives is that they were used by other people: Aunts, cousins, teachers, friends, grandparents, neighbors, tween-girls - to describe my son, Jonathan. I know this because I have been "collecting" them for the past few ...
Contrast & compare
There are people who, when you see pictures of them as kids, you go, "Hmmm.... I just can't see it."You know what I'm talking about. I always think this when I see some child actors who have grown up and I think to myself, "Really?? They were so adorable once... but I just can't see it anymore." And ...
Happy Birthday to You! And you!
The following is a "dual-post." Meaning simply that Kikita did the first half while Marta did the second half. A lovely example of mother-daughter teamwork. ;-) Kikita: Today is a very special day. I want to tell you about my favorite Tia, Carmen. She is the Quintessential Cuban Woman. She does it all and does it with class. It's ...
