Dora, Dora, Dora the Explorer!

Last week I decided to take my daughter to the Discovery Science Center. We hadn't been there since our visit last year. I had been looking for different museums to take Sam and then seen that DSC was having a Dora exhibit. Sam loves Dora and I knew she'd have a blast. I decided to look no further. Sure enough, I was right. I took my mom with us on our a little trip and we both got a big kick out of seeing Sam run around with a huge smile on her little face. The exhibit was really cute. The museum isn't too big but seems big enough for her. They had a little slide, a car where you put acorns to give it fuel, a little jungle and a vet station. You'd put an animal on an MRI looking table and it would scan the animal and tell you about it. Very cute stuff. There was also an exhibit upstairs about recycling. Sam loved that also. Her favorite one was the one with a conveyor belt. You had 15 seconds to figure out what was hazardous, toxic, recyclable and I think green. It was a few a categories. They had little garbage trucks on board to show you who was ahead of the game. We spent the last half our of our trip on that conveyor belt. It was worth it. Anything to see my kid smile.

    Thanks for sharing! I'm glad that Sam had fun. You got some great photos of her super engaged. Dahlia loves Dora, so we'll have to check the exhibit out. Thanks again for sharing.

    Thanks for reading Julie! You should totally take her. As I mentioned it's not a big place but I still think it's totally worth it. I love it and am considering getting a membership there. We shall see.

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...

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...
