I had the opportunity to screen Blended earlier this week and all I can say for now is... plan to watch it! It's laugh-out-loud funny and a perfect family date movie. Yes! Blended is totally okay for the whole family to watch.

Telling Kids Where Babies Come from
This is a sponsored post.
When my second son was born, I specifically asked for my oldest to be in the room. I wanted him to know that he was there when his baby brother was born. From the beginning of my contractions to the joyful end where the baby meets his family, my (then) three and a half year old was involved in the process. However, he has never really known how babies are made. He

Closer to "Adios Diapers"
This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Pull-Ups® Training Pants and Latina Bloggers Connect.
Potty training our fourth baby should feel like a breeze, but every child is different. It has definitely helped out having older siblings so he sees others using the toilet. If you're in the beginning stages of potty training your child and don't have other kids, I suggest taking him/her

Designing my Outdoor Oasis with Pier 1 Imports
This is a sponsored post on in collaboration with Pier 1 Imports and Latina Bloggers Connect.
We have a decent size patio, considering that we live in an apartment home in Orange County. However, we have done nothing to make it anything more than just a place for the kids to shoot hoops, play hopscotch and soccer. The hubster and I are working to change that though. This Summer it's going to be

I had such a great time at the American Icons event last night. It was held at Macy's and hosted by none other than the host of Extra - Mario Lopez. It was Orange County's kick-off party for Macy's salute to all the things that make us proud to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave... and it was fantastic.

Weekend Project: Creating an Outdoor Oasis
This is a sponsored post on in collaboration with Pier 1 Imports and Latina Bloggers Connect.
Our patio has been in need of a makeover for the last five years. That's how long we've been renting now. We've done basically nothing to our patio but make it a storage area. The kids use it most of the time, mostly to run around and play, but the hubster and I? We were basically hermits living

Streaming music with Cricket Wireless
This is a sponsored post.
The kids and I spend about an hour in the car every day. We talk, plan and listen to music. Unfortunately, sometimes there's not a lot of music playing. The radio commercials seem to be never-ending and the kids get antsy. So I created a Spotify playlist with my kids favorite songs.
The playlist has everything from "Gitchee Gitchee Goo" from Phineas & Ferb to "On

Sun Protection Myth-Busters
This is a sponsored post on in collaboration with Neutrogena and Latina Bloggers Connect. All thoughts and ideas remain my own.
I grew up never using sun screen, hats, glasses, or really any other type of sun protection. My parents just sent me out into the daylight without so much as a, "stay in the shade!" caution. However, as an adult, I have become very aware of sun damage. I do a great job

They've even added a few new additions to the ride that will surprise

Finding the right scent for you
Mi hogar is always filled with scents that keep me in love with my home. I love walking through the door and immediately lighting a candle, spraying a scent into the rooms and switching on the wax melts warmer. The scents in my home change a lot, depending on the season and the mood that I'm in. Now, thanks to Glade, I have six more scents to add to my collection.

Children's Jewelry for Everyday Wear
I was just a month old when my ears were pierced. Soon after, my children's jewelry collection started getting bigger and included lots of earrings (with safety bell backs), necklaces, and bracelets. My love for jewelry has continued to grow and even though I am a mom to two boys, it is clear that they'll have my love for accessories as well.
As I grew older, my mom would take me to Don

Lucha Libre Father's Day Gift Idea and Free Printable in Spanish

I never had the opportunity to really dig into my dad's past, but what I do remember is that he wrestled in
