Oscar Party!

This may sound crazy to you, but I had NO idea that the Oscars are being held today. None. I also won­dered that I can’t be the only per­son. Then I got to thinking…about the per­son who wants to throw together a quick Oscar Party but has no idea where to begin on such short notice.

Don’t worry. I’m here to help! Well…not me exactly, but I can cer­tainly point you in the right direc­tion. (I’m awe­some. I know this, but it was nice of you to think that.) Con­tinue read­ing Oscar Party!

Top 100 Mom Blogs!

Never, ever, not-in-a-million years did I expect this.

Just a lit­tle while ago I was read­ing Trisha Haas’ list, “Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2009″, read­ing and click­ing, when to my utter aston­ish­ment I saw this:

I hon­estly did not believe my eyes at first.

I was shocked, sur­prised, elated, and I have to admit…I cried a little.

Robert Pattinson Talks Sex

Today on The View, Robert Pat­tin­son appeared with his co-star Emi­lie de Ravin (Claire on Lost) in Remem­ber Me, to chat up the film which is sched­uled to be released on March 12, 2010. Through­out the inter­view he seemed his usual shy and befud­dled self as he spoke about wardrobe issues (or the lack there of), when film­ing a sex scene with Ms. de Ravin.

He was also ques­tioned about get­ting pan­icky dur­ing the Twi­light pre­mière. I thought Bar­bara lame when she said that “not many peo­ple knew he’d been in Harry Pot­ter”. I mean really? I sus­pect she didn’t know, and assumed not many peo­ple knew that tid­bit of trivia. She must not truly real­ize how mas­sive the Twi­light brand is, which is dwarfed when com­pared to Harry Pot­ter.

The ladies also got him to chit-chat about his thoughts on dat­ing older women. His opin­ion “the more age, the bet­ter!” He also said that he thought Betty White was sexy, so take it with a grain of salt, and keep your panties on Cougars!

Imperfection, it's My Perfection

Sorce: Phiary.com

Sorce: Phiary.com

Learn­ing to love life by liv­ing through loss and mis­takes
Lessons learned then grad­u­ally sur­fac­ing
Let­ting go, strip­ping naked to scream
I am not per­fect, nor do I strive to be
I am alive in this world of face-first falls and pub­lic break­downs
I’m a retarded, dis­fig­ured clown
Dying to be heard for the sim­ple art of let­ting this heavy wall finally fall
I’m an equal being of no race or color
A hal­lu­ci­na­tion if you will
Sneak­ing into the lives of strangers and let­ting them fall apart
To a new rhythm, just to feel bet­ter
— Blue October

I am not per­fect, nor do I strive to be.” Unfor­tu­nately for so many, many moth­ers we feel this need to be per­fect. To jug­gle moth­er­hood, work (in or out­side of the home), our hus­bands, friends…in other words…life. We try to “have it all”, with out falling com­pletely apart. I’ve been called a “super mom” or a per­fect mom by friends. It’s a won­der­ful com­pli­ment but very far from the truth. Yes. I’ll admit moth­er­hood comes very nat­u­rally to me. It is why I was put on this earth. But I am not per­fect. I wouldn’t want to be. Con­tinue read­ing Imper­fec­tion, it’s My Perfection

The Best Place in 2009

Was home. Home with my hus­band. Home with my kids. I was home a lot-because we only have one car. A fact that I bitched about on occa­sion. Okay, a lot of occasions.

It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day-to wish you could take your kids to the park, to run to the gro­cery store when you realize […]

My Favorite Holiday Tradtions to do with My Kids

I absolutely love the hol­i­days. I always have. As a mother one of my favorite things about the hol­i­days is get­ting to share tra­di­tions and make new ones.

Twit­ter Moms asked me what My Top Five Favorite Hol­i­day Tra­di­tions Were? I just had to answer.

One of my favorite hol­i­day tra­di­tions is Noche Buena. Noche Buena is cel­e­brated on Christ­mas Eve tra­di­tion­ally we get together with fam­ily and friends enjoy a fab­u­lous meal of lechón, arroz con fri­joles, yuca, and other yum­mies. Domi­nos, cig­ars, a cock­tail or three, and music and danc­ing is usu­ally involved at some point. As a child I remem­ber run­ning around wait­ing with my cousins while the adults laughed and talked bois­ter­ously. Most years we’d also got to Mid­night Mass.
