For my bridal shower the party asked each guest to bring a favorite recipe to share with me. It could be anything; desserts, main dishes, sides, family secrets, etc…! I am so grateful they did this as I now have a bunch of family favorite recipes to discover. When the recipe from my Abuelita came [...]
This dish comes out a couple times a year for our family. Before I met my husband I never knew you could eat corn flakes on top of potatoes; I had only ever eaten it as a cereal. The first time I tried this dish we were having a pool party and we had the [...]
I look forward to my daughter reminiscing about her summer days as a kid and remembering something that will make her smile. My husband had a childhood moment the other day when picking oranges off our tree; he stood there silently enjoying the orange in the sun with the sprinkler going. He didn't say anything [...]
This recipe comes from my husband’s grandpa. The family would make it for pool parties dating way back. I was fortunate to join in on the festivities as of 2007 and try this yummy concoction.

In 2015 I was part of a large layoff at an engineering firm and found myself without a job. Luckily another job offer presented itself but it came with a lot of unknowns; namely working from home and being an independent contractor. I didn’t know many other Project Managers in the same situation so I [...]
A story that I heard while in a prenatal yoga class keeps playing in my head. It is beautiful to think about while transitioning to motherhood and I believe it may be relevant to many people now.I will paraphrase and have forgotten the exact words but the meaning is strong. I may not do the [...]
In preparing for my daughter's first birthday I made a couple of floral hoops for decoration. It was a lot of fun making these and I had some interest on how they were made and if I were selling them. So... I am working on a how to video and I plan on making more [...]
