Where Education and Entertainment Meet Cultura y Familia
Almost every holiday season, I watch a performance of The Nutcracker. It’s usually live performance by our local ballet and symphony. This year, I’m happy to head to the movie theater to watch the magic come alive on the big screen in Disney’s THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS. All Clara wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless...

I liked ANT-MAN AND THE WASP more than ANT-MAN. There I said it. I just appreciated the story line and the action scenes more. Maybe it was all the talk about quantum realms or the frequent size-changing Ant-Man that had my attention throughout the movie. The first ANT-MAN had to take the time to set up the story, the cast, and why there were ants working for humans....

Disclaimer: All opinions are my own. The Chevrolet Equinox was on loan as part of media coverage. Summers are the best times for road trips. I’ve been making summer road trips for as long as I can remember. I specifically remember when I was a teenager and began driving my family across Texas during the summers. We would drive from the West Texas Plains, through the Texas Hill...

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Prudential and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own. The 2018 Hispanicize Event was extra special for so many reasons. Along with celebrating special moments with many of my friends who create amazing content, I had meaningful conversations about how we financially plan for our future. As Latinos in the United States, we can do better in building...
“The only chance you’ve got is the both of you.” ~ Dr. Hank Pym to Ant-Man and The Wasp. We all noticed – and it was even addressed in the movie – that Ant-Man was absent in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. As we all catch our breath from that box office record-breaker, we can prepare for ANT-MAN AND THE WASP. In the aftermath of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, Scott...

Mother’s Day is coming early this year. Almost every year for the last 10 years, my family and I go watch the latest Marvel movie for Mother’s Day – either the day of or sometime leading up to it. In 2008, when my first son was still a baby, I wanted to go see IRON MAN but no one would go with me. So, I waited until my...
When it comes to Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time, I don’t know what I’m most excited about – the diverse cast, seeing Oprah in this made-for-her role, or the fact that this young adult novel had been adapted for the big screen. Synopsis of A Wrinkle In Time From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time, an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic...
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Strayer University. All opinions are my own. “I don’t have any talent or skills. What am I going to do?” This is what I said to myself when I knew that I was done with my unfulfilling career in sales. My boys were babies and I was chasing a career that made me miserable most days. I knew I...

One of the reasons that I’m so proud to be a Tejana is that our state has so many places to explore.

Give me some gas money, the...
