Happy Times

-




















Sometimes when I take time off from work to do things on my own, I feel a tad guilty. I feel I should be using that time to spend with Sam. This past week has been hectic and I felt I really didn't get to see my child. Solution, taking a day off from work to dedicate strictly to her. I called my mom so she can join in on our activities. She in turn informed my sister who decided to join us. Our day started with breakfast. From there we started to brainstorm trying to figure out what we were going to do. Of course the place had to be kid friendly so we were considering Disneyland. My sister and I could never get enough of it. Of course, neither can Sami. Unfortunately my mommy dearest doesn't have a season pass so we couldn't go. I offered to ante up the down payment for a pass, mommy dearest was not sold. We then decided to venture off to Discovery Science Center. Best decision ever. That place is perfect for kids. I had never been there and was pleasantly surprised to see everything was hands on. Sami had a blast! She was so excited she had no idea where she wanted to go. She'd go here, she'd go there, she was all over the place. It gave me such joy seeing my offspring so happy. My mom and sister seemed to enjoy themselves too. All in all it was beautiful day. It was nice to have been able to spend the whole day with the women who matter most in my life. If you have kids or nieces/nephews. Take them to Discovery Science Center. You will be known as the cool aunt/uncle.

El Tepeyac Cafe-Boyle Heights Some people freak out when I tell them I love going to restaurants alone. They think it's weird and can't imagine doing it. I find it to be the most relaxing experience ever. I can sit down, enjoy my meal and play with my phone if I choose to. If you've never done this I totally suggest you try it. One thing I've never done alone is go catch a movie. That is definitely on my to do list.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Coraline

Sam getting her hair done by the amazing Amanda. Sami and her faces. This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline. Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut. Coraline #2 Coraline, we owe you! Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures. One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or...
