Welcome to the blog

This weekend I imagined something epic, like looking over the edge of a building drinking champagne out of the bottle. I planned to sleep in between the cushions of my sofa, instead, I cuddled through two kid movies. We certainly partied as planned. We sleep walked to bed and woke up three hours later. The […]

On a good week or a bad week, I can count on our Pappasito’s special and a side of a handcrafted margarita especially crafted for the occasion. At moments of anger, like when our guacamole falls on the table, our Mexicanness is what defines us. You indulge in all of my guilty pleasures- cupcakes, pints […]

Three hundred and fifty-four days ago I vowed to spend my life with people who make me happier and better. I vowed a lot of things out loud and personally. This year has had its dark days, days I just wanted to hit the restart button. My patience and kindness were tested on so many […]

I met Amy, Lorraine, and Heather from Third Floor Strings at an open house event at The Venue at Seventh Heaven We enjoyed listening to them play ABBA and of course, our favorite, Andrea Bocelli. We were super excited when they did an encore of Andrea Bocelli, especially for us (they’re awesome like that). It […]

My friends would certainly agree that I am not the shyest of the bunch, but put me in a room full of strangers, and I’ll only wish there was a foxhole I could crawl into. The strangest part of how I met Wendy is that it was nerve wrecking for Neto to watch me approach […]

For two days, West and Albany was our home. Our hotel faced the Hudson River and sat in the middle of the Financial District. Around the corner from our hotel, was my favorite late night deli, Joe’s Gourmet Deli. Our first visit ensured our next visit thanks to the gentleman behind the counter for the […]

The day threw curveballs at us from hot,humid weather, to sprinklers, to mosquitoes, but it didn’t stop these love birds from having a great time.

My first experience with Zumba was unforgettable and embarrassing. I hated the feeling of performing in front of hundreds of people during a half time basketball game. Nonetheless, not knowing the full dance steps to the song. I was the girl giggling, cry laughing, smiling, and twirling off beat to every move. I proclaimed to […]

Photography, food, love, books, my niece, my nephews…I just can’t ever get enough of either of them. My nephew, Luke, he’s seven but acts seventeen. My heart melted even more as he giggled through the Transformers movie and asked for nachos, popcorn, Skittles, and a large Sprite from the concession stand. “Did we just become […]

Everyday was a mission with you. Where to eat? Where to drink? What to do? The agenda was endless. You welcomed me with rain, wind, and cold weather, but I fell in love with you as I danced to The Clash at Mad Planet. It reminded me of one of my favorite bars in Houston. […]
