As a first-time mom, I had many questions and doubts when my daughter was born. I constantly asked friends and family, particularly my mom for advice to see if I was doing everything correctly. I have to say that my mom’s best advice to me was to use Huggies® Little Snugglers along with Huggies Natural Care® wipes to keep her skin soft, clean and healthy. I love how the brand provides the be ...
Every morning I like to start my day off with a cup of coffee, who doesn’t?! I don’t care if it’s 40 or 90 degrees outside, I need my cafecito. Just the plain aroma of coffee gets me going, my mom is the culprit of my coffee addiction, you see when I was in high school she would drive me to school and every single day she would take her coffee to brave the traffic. To me, there. ...
Every morning when I wake up the first thing I think about is my cafecito, that little cup of Joe we all need to pick us up and get our day off to a great start. From getting the kids ready and off to school to braving the traffic into work, a cafecito is all I need to make my day special. I usually heat up my water and pop open my NESCAFÉ Clásico, the aroma I get as I’m preparing my daily c ...
Growing up my favorite part of the day has always been mornings. I love waking up early and getting breakfast ready for my family, especially on weekends. Since the kids are now back in school they tend to have their breakfast in school, but when my daughter saw the Malt-O-Meal® cereals I had bought she decided eating breakfast at home would be much tastier.Now when I go grocery shopping I like to ...
Transitiniong my daughter from her cute pink potty to grown-up potty was not too fun or easy for her, she had grown to love her small potty and didn’t feel the need to transition to a grown up potty, or as we call it the toilet. The hardest part of the transition was getting her to clean herself with toilet paper instead of baby wipes she used. Thankfully I was able to convince her the toile ...
Today is the last day of school for the kids which means summer is fast approaching! And with summer, comes parties, picnics, pool parties, and vacations! I took some time this year to plan out our summer trip, and while I won’t be leaving Texas I came across the various attractions St. Louis has to offer, possibly making it our destination in the future.Have you planned out your summer vaca ...
Many working moms know it’s not always easy to prepare a nutritious breakfast for kids every morning, especially if you have picky eaters. Although Naty wasn’t very picky with her food before she entered kindergarten, now dislikes some breakfast items she loved before. Which means I now have to get creative in the kitchen and often times getting her involved in preparing her food. I th ...
How have you kicked off your 2016? Are you sticking to your New Year’s resolutions? I let go of making resolutions a few years ago and just stuck to doing my best, whether it’s to losing some pounds, making healthier choices, or being a little more confident with myself. Last week we ended off the year exercising and going to the park to run up and down the hill. I will confess I didn& ...
School is officially back in session across the country, and I officially now have a 1st grader! She is now finishing up her second week of school and let me tell you those first few days were nerve-wracking for all of us. As I left my daughter in her new classroom with a new teacher and a room full of new and familiar faces, I could not help but feel proud of my little one. Proud because I know h ...
In today’s day and age, it’s so easy to get distracted away from those that matter most to us. We all seem to think that with all the technology we have we’re closer… but have you noticed that when you sit whether at the dinner table or living room with family members, while some may hold a conversation most are looking down to their phones? I get it, we all want to know wh ...
Recently we got the opportunity to visit Kriser’s Natural Pet, as a pet owner, I am somewhat disappointed to have never even known about Kriser’s or how close it is to my neighborhood. I’ve always had pets in my home since I was a child so I was very excited to explore this new place. I really wanted to take our 5-month-old German Shepherd, Eliza out for an adventure but she tend ...
Hard to believe my little baby is now six years old, seems like yesterday I was walking out from the hospital with her in my arms. The first few nights, weeks, months were stressful. As a first time mom, I knew absolutely nothing about the tiny little lady I had birthed. After breastfeeding didn’t go as planned, and trying almost every infant formula out there, Gerber® Good Start® Infant For ...
Growing up in a Hispanic home, there were celebrations for everything, whether there was an accomplishment at school or holidays- everything was celebrated with all the family. April 30th, El Día del Niño has always been a day of celebration for everyone of all ages. We all have that inner child in us, and why not celebrate him/her. Piñatas, candy, loteria and our favorite childhood meals were alw ...

Don’t you feel summer break has flown by way too quick? I’m getting nostalgic just thinking about not having my little one’s company during the day. Over the summer I’ve seen her explore and grow, we’ve had good and bad moments. As I hear her play doctor with her baby cousin in the background I can honestly say I will miss these moments when she heads back to school.. ...
