I never looked at it, never counted it, and I really hoped it would be enough. I decided to do things a little different for the new year, a little more structure and accountability. This is why I created these Three Different Versions of the 52 Week Money Challenge Printable.

The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess

The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess

The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess! Gift guide for little girls. Disney Princess gift guide for a great Christmas #JAKKSHolidays

 

I’m happy this year our annual Holiday Gift Guide will be a little different. These changes came because we wanted to do some good. We were very selective with the items we added to our gift guide. The toys we accepted will be going to some very special and well deserving children. Children from our local Military Family support group. These children, as well as my own, have spent Christmases without a Parent due to being Deployed during the Holidays. Needless to say, we set the bar extremely high with what we wanted to recommend and gift to these children. I was besides myself when Jakks Pacific toys offered to send us items for The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess.

Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

There weren’t many traditions around Christmas time while I was growing up, we had Christmas Eve tamales and woke up on Christmas morning with excitement. I always dreamed of having so many traditions and celebrations once I had children of my own, then reality hit. My Husband was deployed more often than not. If he wasn’t on a deployment far away, he was on a work-up trip preparing for deployments and that meant he was gone for weeks at a time. His Military career never gave us an opportunity to settle down and have some set traditions, so we did things as we could. Having premature babies with heart monitors also made for selective outings around people. These were all reasons why we were never able to see Santa every year. It took many years but we finally have one: Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!

Sharing the Lessons I Learned While Becoming a Caregiver

Sharing the Lessons I Learned While Becoming a Caregiver

This post is made possible with support from AARP’s Disrupt Aging. All opinions are my own. I grew up helping my Mom care for my Grandparents, it was always something that just came natural. As I grew older I continued to do it and never thought that it was something out of the ordinary. It’s just what you do for Family, for your Parents, for your Grandparents. There was never a manual, a timeline, a list of expectations from both parties; age and caring just went hand-in-hand as time went on. Being raised in a Hispanic home and within the Hispanic culture, it’s expected to care for our elderly and our ill Family members. As time goes on the children become the caregivers and I am happy to be Sharing the Lessons I Learned While Becoming a Caregiver.
