Calle Mami 
Baby boy turned 3 today. The weather was lousy and he’s been sick. I did not want to take him outside. Hoping he’ll feel better in time for his official party this weekend. But we couldn’t ignore the day. Big and bro and big sis wouldn’t have it. “Mom, but we bought balloons, remember?” So, Read More →
December 11th, 2011 Calle Mami Kids do say the darndest things, don’t they? Martin and I were chatting in the kitchen. Deric was doing a puzzle at the table. Somehow, Condoleeza Rice came up in our conversation. Deric decided to chime in. Deric: “Condoleeza Nice?” “No Papi. Condoleeza Rice.” Deric: “Condoleeza Rice? (insert cynical look) I don’t even know that Read More →
December 10th, 2011 Calle Mami The kids got into a spat over what movie we could watch together. The interests between a 9, 5 and 2 year old are going to differ, it’s the reality. Bombarded with questions on who was going to win, I decided to play a game. I would hide. They would find me. First person to Read More →
December 9th, 2011 Calle Mami I’ve had to channel my crafty side, and that required some organization on my part. We recently turned an old dresser, taking up space in our garage, into supply central. It’s full of random stuff: paint, popsicle sticks, puzzle glue, card stock and other doodads crammed in there. It comes in handy, I’ll admit. When Read More →
December 8th, 2011 Calle Mami ShaiAnne came up to me the other day all excited. “Mom, I found the coolest show!” She’s pretty savvy with all things techie. She’s been working the DVR for years now. She’s that kid – the one you ask to help you program things, figure out how to get to Netflix or how to get Read More →
December 7th, 2011 Calle Mami The murder of Georgia 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera eats at me. The thought the animal who did this is still out there, it just makes my blood boil and my soul hurt. Bendito! I pray for her family. I pray they find the culprit. God forgive me for the other thoughts seeping through my mind right Read More →

December 6th, 2011 Calle Mami 3-2-1 … I’m a producer. While you sleep, I work. What does a producer do? I create the newscast you wake up to every morning. The life of a TV morning show producer is simple on paper only. We crank out scripts, produce segments, supervise a live show, communicate concurrently to staff, etc. etc. etc. Read More →
December 5th, 2011 Calle Mami Funny how life has a sense of humor. I distinctly remember saying out loud how I didn’t care for country music. My parents listened to it quite a bit. Back in the day, it was Kenny Rogers, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton and Juice Newton that you’d hear in my home. It was okay, but nothing Read More →
December 4th, 2011 Calle Mami Oreos or Chips Ahoy? That’s the big debate in my house. Actually, I’m quite out numbered. Oreos win by a landslide. I don’t get it. I can’t take all that creme after a while. ¡Repugna! The kids and hubby love all the options Oreos have to offer: split them in half for a creme side, Read More →
