Yes. I realize we were just here umm... about ten days ago. And yet, here we are again.Yes. We got to drive through the Mojave Desert once again. (I know you're jealous. =D) Why? Billy Joel. One night only.MGM Grand.Yes. I know I told you that Eric was taking Lucy to that concert, but seriously, do you think I would be ...
Music
Afro-Cuban after all . . .
I thought I knew my mom inside and out, but she is still able to surprise and amaze me. (Hi everyone, it's me, Amy) Let me give you some background . . . One of my very dear and very beautiful friends, Sheila (Not the blond. That's my other friend, Ashli, but that's not important right now), works for her mother's non-profit organization ...
A date with Dad
WARNING: Some serious bragging ahead! =D She taught herself to play. She was playing so well, that we finally got a piano teacher to help hone her skills.And she practices everyday.Without me having to remind her. I take NO credit for this kind of discipline.Because I am the messy, flaky kind of artist. ;-) I really need to just sit down one day ...
Out of the comfort zone. . .
I was in Salt Lake City, Utah this weekend for a convention. (I'll explain why in another post) But I wanted to share a highlight of my weekend.I got to enjoy a concert by a . . . wait for it . . COUNTRY. MUSIC. GROUP. I know. Me. Country. Who knew?? It gets better. I. FELL. IN. LOVE. "Shut up. You did not." I swear. ...
Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey
I have to admit that my original plan was to write an extensive blog post on the amazingness (is that a word?) of this show. I thought I would describe each moment in great detail and send you off immediately to at least get the cd because you've never heard this very familiar music mixed quite so brilliantly. I thought I might even include a ...
On the flip side . . .
My very favorite thing about living here in Mission Viejo is The Lake. If we're not down at the beach in Laguna, we can be found at The Lake. Sandy bottom, clear, just-right water temp and free concerts on Saturdays during the summer. All that within walking distance! Secretly, I like to think of it as MY lake. The east beach is the city's ...
ONE time…
Yes, that's us with Bono. How cool are we? Okay... not really. Actually, that was at Madam Tussaud's in Las Vegas. But we were there, (in Vegas) to see U2. We are huge U2 fans. HUGE. In fact, when they were touring recently, for Eric's birthday I gave him tickets to see U2 in L.A. For my birthday, he gave me tickets to see U2 in Vegas. ...
Cuban Racing Monkees
Before I jumped into homeschooling, I did tons of research. I researched different types of homeschools, curriculum, schedules, and learning styles. Because I, personally, am primarily a visual learner, I read every book I could get my hands on and then I read everything I could find on the web. I took copious notes and made diagrams and ...
Our motto? Laugh. Eat. Play.
The kids are out of school and in this part of the country it's like a feeding frenzy trying to get kids signed up for "camps." Yes. That's the hip thing to do. (of course, I am anything but hip - sigh)If you don't know how to just be with and enjoy your child or help them entertain themselves for the summer, you sign them ...
“I have my reasons”
Hi everyone! It’s me,Amy. You know, the oldest of Marta’s kids. I hijacked mom's blog because I was having a moment today and wanted to share. I have this game I play with my friends (and myself). The game is all about Cuban Appreciation. As you can see, I have inspired my non-Cuban friends to have Cuban Pride. :-) I will have what I like ...
