This post is part of a sponsorship with BabyCenter and Disney.
We hit a major milestone last week - Logan, our 6 year old son, finished his first year of school. His kindergarten year came to an end and as the hubster and I sat in the back rows looking at our son, we couldn't help but talk about how much he had grown. Not just in height, but emotionally too.

Random acts of kindness are important. It's one of my favorite ways to show family, friends and strangers that I care about them. Sometimes, it just takes a swift moment, but in that moment you could be making a positive impact on someone - with just one small act of kindness.

Cricket Passport is my mom's BFF
This is a sponsored post.
My mom has a flip phone. She won't send texts and she definitely won't (and can't) update her Facebook status from the road. Unfortunately, she still has to go buy a calling card when she calls relatives in Mexico. Well, she had to until she found out that I have Cricket Passport on my phone. Now our drives in the car feature my mom like in the pictures below. Her on

I found my fun at The Color Run // #ShoutItOut
Last week I was able to check off an adventurous and fun item on my bucket list - The Color Run. I assembled my team - Team Shout® - and headed off to Dodger Stadium bright and early to start a day full of fun, friends, laughter and lots of color! We lived la vida loca at The Color Run, and with any luck, I'll be in New Zealand living it up over there too, (but more on that later).

Due to our lack of cable service, we have to rely on web and phone applications and other interesting ways to watch our Soccer games. Case in point? The last Mexico versus Holland soccer game. It had us at our local swap meet where every row of vendors had a television tuned

What Olivia Palermo wore on her wedding day
Me encanta Olivia Palermo's fashion sense, from her every day looks to her wedding day attire, she has a signature look that many of us spend years trying to achieve.
I first came across her on Instagram (@TheRealOliviaP) and have been a devout follower of her, and her fashion attire, ever since. She has this effortless look that she pulls off every time, and her love for print has me hooked.

Enter the #MyHouseIsMyStadium sweepstakes!
I didn't grow up watching soccer, but once I got married to the hubster I realized that my suegra was a huge soccer fan. So now, even though I really don't get the rules and all, I watch it. I love the camaraderie amongst fans, and amongst strangers, and I love being able to celebrate with a fiesta every time there's a soccer game on. I've even sponsored my nephew's fútbol team so he and his

Shopping at Savers in Fountain Valley, California
If you are like me, you can't pass up a good deal. Savers Thrift Stores are just that - great deals for your family's household needs. Savers is a hiding gem (maybe not so hidden anymore now that they've added a Fountain Valley location) that from my experience many people in Orange County don't know about. I'm hoping that changes come this weekend when Savers celebrates its newest Orange County
