Breaking away from the day to day
Spring has got to be my favorite season of the year. The warm sun mixed with the cool breezes. The pastel colors everywhere. There’s just something so lively about the spring. For many people, springtime is the first time they can actually get outside and start “defrosting” from their winter hibernation. Obviously, here in Miami,…
A cruise is a great way to see different places around the world without having to find hotels or pack and unpack a million times. My husband and I have been on tons of cruises together, but were leery the first time we took the kids. Would there be anything for them to do? Will…
School is out and my normally quiet and undisturbed routine has been taken over by boys. The first few days of their new found freedom were spent sleeping in and catching up on their favorite shows. Now the kids are already saying “I’m bored” after only a week of vacation! I’m EXHAUSTED! Why can’t they…
As a former teacher, helping kids is second nature to me. When I see kids struggling in any way, I feel the need to lend a hand to make a difference in their lives. My friend, Mrs. Funcia, is a 3rd grade teacher and has the same kind heart for children in need. Her…
So “Little Ricky” just turned 10. He’s been on this Earth for an entire decade. It’s seriously amazing how fast time flies! Every time my kids turn a new age, it leads to me think of what I was doing at that same age. When I was 10, I was in 4th grade just like…
*Disclaimer: Although I was compensated for this post, I do shop at The Children’s Place all the time and all opinions are my own!* Another holiday is right around the corner and guess what? That’s right! I procrastinated yet again and now its time to scramble and get these boys looking good. Except this…
I used to dread the summers. Although we didn’t have to wake up to rush to school, summers were always a giant puzzle for me to figure out something fun that we could do each day. Now that my boys are getting older, they no longer have to be by my side. They also…
I was recently flipping through the channels and stumbled upon the Arsenio Hall Show. First let me ask, did I take a time machine back to the 90’s? When did Arsenio Hall get a show? Anyway, this comedian was on named Chris Spencer. I had never heard of him before, but I was pulled…
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day is coming and it is the perfect time to teach our kids about the importance of equality and understanding. The children in today’s society do not know what it is like to grow up in a world without differences. Every nationality and religion is represented all over the world. …
I am not one of those parents who completely live for my kids. I am definitely a believer in having my own life aside from my kids’ life and schedules. But let me tell you…it’s really hard to find the balance. Since they are completely reliant on my husband and I for everything, it is…
