This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Prudential and DiMe Media about changing your financial story. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

That’s why it’s important to me know to have a conversation about how we can begin to create our financial...

All opinions are my own. “Be the person you needed when you were younger.” I’m not sure who said this first but once I heard it, I hung on to it. It’s one reason I share positive stories as a blogger. It’s not a coincidence that I highlight Latinas and/or women...
Disclaimer: We were hosted to a Halloween Time at Disneyland family trip. All opinions are my own. “It’s my favorite time of year at Disneyland!” My friends and my social media community repeated this to me when I told them that we were going for Halloween Time at Disneyland. It’s also what I heard from my kiddos during and at the end of our adventure. They had a...

Thanks to our hosts Big Oak Tree Media and Visit Houston who invited us to experience Houston in this very family-friendly way. I’m that mom who insists all traveling experiences be equally...
Almost every holiday season, I watch a performance of The Nutcracker. It’s usually live performance by our local ballet and symphony.

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....
