There are many things married couples should look into and decide on: family home, child’s education, how to raise kids, savings account, and yes, a family car. A family car. Personally, I do not consider car as an investment. The moment it steps out of the casa, the value immediately depreciates. Once you decide to sell it, […]
Confession: I have OCD. Well, sort of. It is manageable but I hate it when everything goes out of order or when my kids’ toys are placed in the wrong box. I love keeping everything organized – and with proper labels for every container – to maintain order at home. This includes our kitchen. When […]
If there is something I can eat everyday, it’s Spanish food. Growing up with my lola around, I got used to the smell of Paella, arroz ala cubana, croquettes and salpicao in our home. Since then, Spanish food always made me feel like home and reminds me of my lola’s cooking. Sometime last week, I […]
I love pasta in all forms. Since then, I prefer cooking my own pasta meals instead of buying from restos. It was a good thing my husband loves pasta too, which makes it easier for me in the kitchen since I am not the best cook around. Few weeks ago, we attended our neighbor’s birthday […]
Finally, a weekend getaway. My kids, especially my eldest, are currently addicted to the zoo. Since it was my mom and sister’s birthdays and there is a zoo up north with more animals and activities compared to the one in… Continue reading →
2015 was generally a good year for me. It was a year of firsts, major decisions, opportunities, and some roadblocks along the way – which I happily accepted. Some tested my patience while there are instances that made me thankful and blessed. Overall, I was happy with how my year turned out and I’m not […]

I never really worried about real property taxes and other grown up stuff. Living with my parents for 23 years made my life easier and more convenient. Of course, I had to move out when I got married, which means I have to take care of my own home, including payment of property tax. After […]
I just realized that I’ve been working as a freelance writer for almost three years now. So far, this “career” helped me manage my personal needs and the earnings are good enough to allow me to splurge on my kids. Being a freelance writer also opened different opportunities for me and it makes me feel […]
I need to get some things done at home so I decided to pop the Frozen DVD on the player to keep my girls still and behaved. Thankfully, it worked. This is the usual scenario at home. My girls are into Disney movies that they even memorized the songs from Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, […]
If you checked my posts about the recipes I do at home, you will notice that I always use chicken and pork. I’m no kitchen diva and cooking is not really my thing so I stick to the basics. My husband and I are not fans of going out during V-Day. Instead of a fancy […]
