The most important things....

The most important things in life aren't things...
I found this picture in Kelly's Korner blog and it just touched my heart. I am praying for all those people that were affected by all these storms. Some of you don't know this but two years ago our home was damaged due to a hurricaine. We lost lots of things but we managed to get it back together in three months. My family was amazing and sooo helpful in every way. I remember my sister inviting us over for a bar-b-q just days after it all happened. It was so nice of her and such a great distraction to all the drama going on. My brother's all helped too in many ways, even one opened his home  to this crazy family of cinco HA! As I'm  typing this now and sitting in our new home I feel sooo blessed. Yes things are just things but family and friends are what truly are important in life. As Katy Perry's song goes
After a hurricaine comes a rainbow~~~~~
Have a great Saturday as for us the norm grocery store and then some swimming!!

Leather, Niko and Cali

Sooo last Saturday we made a pack as a family to head over to see Tracey (leather couch designer). He is so awesome and sweet. He actually had come by earlier in the week to help us pick a color and design for our living room. Tracey and Albert were soo funny. They were so into it, I on the other  hand could care less. I know that sounds bad but I have NO sense when it comes to designing. Anyway we were there for about three hours. The babes rocked, they did so well. Their treat for behaving was NIKO'S....

Ohhhh that was my treat, sorry. I LOVE this place. Parking was a mess but we managed to get a table and yes we enjoyed some awesome GREEK food.

We are over the moon excited about our Disneyland trip that is a few weeks away. The best part is that I get to do some shopping for the trip. YAY!!!

No more trash....

Sooo it's hard to admit to everyone but yes this is what I used to read... almost daily. I used to waste my money and time in mindless trash reading. WHY??I don't know the answer but I know I am learning that this type of reading or watching is not good for me or my family. I know I am a bit on the hip side so I do want to keep up with all the latest but I knew I needed to stop. The "hip" part was a joke!!

Yes this was once one of my favs~~so long cable tv trash, so long...
As we were driving around this weekend Albert told me something I did not expect. He said I had truly changed in many ways. So I asked like what??? The first thing he said was I love how we don't have trashy magazine all over the house anymore. WOW!!That was big for me. Don't get me wrong I still watch ET every now and then but I try to really make it a point to watch only what is good for our family.

Soooo this is what is all over our house now HA!!!Love all the tips and ideas it has.  Hope your Tuesday is blessed.

What I'm lovin'

Ok soooo I made three purchases this week that I am soo loving. The first is Benefit's Total Moisture facial cream~~it is totally awesome and it smells so fresh and clean.

Another one was these Pond's facial wipes. They smell so great  and do really remove all your makeup even waterproof mascara!!! 

These precious earrings should arrive this week. They are Kendra Scott Danielle earrings. They come in all colors and are just so pretty. I even picked up a pair for a sweet friend who apparently is obsessed with them HA!!!
Hope your Wednesday is great!!!
XOXO

Mi mama....

I had to post one of my favorite pictures of my mom. This is how you'll find her most days....in the kitchen,
She is sooo sweet not only to her entire family but to everyone she comes in contact with. If you come over there is usually beans on the stove and tortillas ready to eat...
My favorite memory of mom was when she would blast Mexican music at home and dance around with the broom or mop or ME!!
Love you mom,
Happy Mother's Day
