You would think that my daughters knew Spanish being that it was my first language and I did not learn English until I was about 4 or 5 years old but nope, that isn’t the case. As much as I have tried to teach my girls how to roll their R’s, all I get is [...]
Que siga la tradición!
Fifteen years ago (or more, still up to debate between my mother and I), I performed at the Joyce Theater with the Ballet Hispanico dance company for their “Que Siga La Tradicion” show which was based on Gloria Estefan’s album at the time. I was a student at Ballet Hispanico for as long as I [...]
Fab Mama Finds!
I have to admit that the worst part of pregnancy isn’t the morning sickness, the painful pubic bone, the waddling, etc. It’s maternity shopping! What a freaking nightmare! I have a few pieces that I adore and was willing to splurge on but what happens when you just can’t splurge and still have the desire [...]
Ah… Push it! Push that Push Present!
I can count the number of weeks to my scheduled c-section on my two hands. That’s scary. I have not done a thing for this alien invader. Like, not a thing. I’m pretty sure it is because I don’t know the gender and somehow have psyched myself out to believe that I will be pregnant [...]
Things to do…
Oh, oh sometimes… I get a little queasy, yeah… I get so queasy that I end up throwing up on the floor, woah woah, I get a little queasy. What the hell is happening? Besides the sore pubic bone, achy back, migraine headaches, fainting spells, carpal tunnel and a partridge in a pear tree, this [...]

“When I grow up, I want to sell oranges by the highway… I want to bus tables, scrub floors and be that guy where no matter how effed up the weather is, I stand outside your fruit stand”. Don’t you remember wishing the same thing when you were growing up? The American dream? Ahh… To [...]
Decisions… Decisions…
With this being our third rodeo, we have decided to make it a little different and not find out what we are having (or have we). I dragged my 18-20 hour a day working husband with me to look at baby bedding everywhere. While I knew that a quick phone call to my overbearing yet [...]
Bugawho?
A couple of years ago I posted about something odd that happens when you become a mother besides leaking boobs. There is something I like to call, stroller envy where you check out everyone else’s stroller just like some men check out and compare one another’s vehicles. It is insane but happens! I know I [...]
It’s a boy!
We had our big ultrasound yesterday and while we are very clear about NOT finding out what our baby is, I was certain that the ultrasound tech would spill the beans. My daughters were in the room and when the tech said, “okay, I’m going downtown so turn away or close your eyes” I was [...]
