Tips for Perfect Holiday Photos

{This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Huggies. However, all opinions expressed are my own.}

 
During the Holiday's we love to capture special moments on film of our children. We want to save those 'Baby's first Christmas' memories or their first picture with Santa, no matter how terrifying that experience may have been for some of our babies. For my oldest daughter's first photo with Santa, she cried and looked terrified but it's one of my favorite photos because it captured a real moment, her true emotions, no need for a fake smile.

“Be Red Carpet Ready Every Day” with Divina Latina

{This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Unilever and Latina Bloggers Connect}




Do you try to “Be Red Carpet Ready Every Day”? Whether your going on out on the town for the evening or just attending a PTA meeting? I do, I try to look my best everyday no matter where I'm going or who I'm seeing. We all know that when mom feels good, she feels happy and when's mom's happy everyone's happy. So I think it's important that mom has her time-outs to make her feel her best even if it's something as simple, like a shower with a soothing body wash or a new moisturizer that makes her skin smooth and refreshed. During the holiday's things can get so hectic between holiday parties, school events & activities and mall crowds so it's important that I feel great and when I look great I feel great too. CVS/pharmacy wants you to “Be Red Carpet Ready Every Day” with their line of Divina Latina beauty products and they want you to save money when you purchase those beauty products.

A Better Kind of Baby Gift Registry

Are you someone that ended up with a lot of smaller baby shower gifts? Sometimes new parent's end up with a ton of baby shampoo, lotions or blankets but not the important bigger items like a car seat or stroller. That's why the new PishPosh Baby registry offers a group gifting feature which makes it simple for your friends to chip in together and get you the higher value essentials, like a stroller, a car seat, or a crib.

JCPenney wants to share the spirit of the Holidays – the real spirit that lives in Latino homes in the US, a celebration of real-life Holiday traditions.

Get Rewarded with Hallmark Cards

{This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Hallmark and Latina Bloggers Connect}



Like most people during the holiday seasons, I love to give and receive greeting cards. I believe that this is a classic tradition that will never die out for some of us even though it's easier to go a different route and send something electronically, It's just not the same. I'd much rather receive one holiday greeting card in the mail than a 100 via the Internet. I love greeting cards so much that I honestly have two card boxes filled with cards for every occasion, I collect cards throughout the year to keep around until I need one. I don't know how many times I was running late to a party or special occasion because I had to stop somewhere to purchase a card.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

{This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray.}


I love to bake, It's something that I've enjoyed doing since I was a young child. Baking is something that I do most often during the cooler season's and for the winter Holiday's. I remember growing up, I would help my mother with the baking for our Holiday desserts. I carry on that tradition with my daughter Emma lee, she loves to help me bake, especially cookies! Christmas is still weeks away put she's already planning on what cookies she will leave out for Santa on Christmas eve. Baking cookies for Santa's arrival at our home is something she's been looking forward to the last few season's and has grown into our very own little Holiday tradition. 

Below I share with your our favorite Chocolate chip cookie recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Open Up with Sudafed

{This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sudafed.}



With Cold and flu season here we take certain precautions to avoid getting sick because no one likes to get sick. The worst symptom is sinus pain from pressure build up. The sinus pressure and congestion can make our days miserable, it feels like the weight of the world is all centered on your sinuses. Serious sinus pressure not only makes us feel uncomfortable but it also makes it hard for us to focus and get what needs to be done accomplished. Whether we are stay at home parents or have a 9-5 job, sinus pressure can serious impact our daily responsibilities.I know when I'm suffering from sinus pressure and congestion everything needs to be placed on hold because I just can't seem to focus on what needs to be done and that means that work and home all need to be placed on hold until I feel better.

The Gift Of Perfume For The Holiday's

{I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.}


It's mid-November and I have started my Christmas shopping, in the past I don't get started until Black Friday but this year my Holiday gift planning had began sooner that usual. I've been thinking about Christmas gift ideas and what I'm going to get the kids and family for the holidays this season weeks ago. I've always been a last minute planner and shopper so I would often buy items on a whim thinking it was a suitable gift, turns out many times it was just a waste of money and effort. So this year I started planning sooner in hopes of getting the best gift for everyone on my list. 

My Passion Pursuit. #PassionGenome

{This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Nissan, However all opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines, 16 C.F.R Part 255.}



Since the 2014 Nissan Versa is the ‘door to more passions,’ they wanted to know what my passions were, so few weeks ago I used the Nissan Versa Passion Genome on Facebook to help me discover some of my interest and passions. The Passion Genome showed me that one of my biggest interest was Community, I strongly believe in being a positive and productive member in my local community. I give back to the community as often as I can, everything in my home that I'm no longer in need of is donated to local charities and shelters. 

Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake with Pumpkin Spice Coffee

{I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric Community. This post has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.}


The Fall, Holiday's and cooler weather bring the perfect opportunity to grab a warm cup of coffee and a warm treat to share with family and friends. The perfect cup of coffee can create "moments of connection" with those who are special to you. Some of us like to catch up with friends at a local coffee shop or cuddle on the couch on a cold morning with a warm cup of coffee and hot coco for the kids, these are some of our favorite coffee inspired moments that we look forward to as the Fall season arrives. And because Autumn is here Pumpkin Spice everything is simply amazing!

Get Mobile Protection with Asurion

{This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Asurion.}


In the event of a lost, stolen or damaged mobile phone, are you protected? Many of us have smartphones or other mobile devices but not many of us have protection in the event of an accident or theft for our electronic devices that we rely on everyday. With Asurion Mobile Protection & Warranty, you’ll be covered for loss, theft, damage, and electrical or mechanical defects even after the manufacturer’s warranty expires, and will receive a replacement device quickly after placing your claim.

I think we've all been there, we loss or damage our cell phones and it sucks because we know how expensive it's going to cost us to replace it. From personal experience, we've been there more times than most people. Within a little over 2 years, Trey had managed to loss or damage 5 phones! His first iPhone he had for about 2 weeks before it was stolen, the other times included damage due to dropping and water damage. Every time he had to replace his iPhone, we had no sort of protection on his device so it was costly to replace every time. 



Cellphone theft is on the rise and makes up 30% of all robberies in major cities. Smartphones are more likely to be stolen. With Asurion you can have a sense of security knowing your device will be quickly replaced.
 

What's the first reaction you have when your cell phone has been damaged or stole? It's most likely "Crap!" followed by "Great! This is going to be expensive"  Maybe even "Do I really need a cell phone?" but quickly followed by " Of course I need a cell phone!". Asurion Mobile Protection offers unique iPhone protection that covers drops, spills, loss and theft. Now your first thought can be "Well, at least I have mobile protection"

4 Things You Should Know About RSV

{This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and MedImmune.}


November 17th is World Prematurity Day and here are some important facts about RSV you should know along with a few tips on how to protect your baby.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common seasonal virus, contracted by nearly all children by the age of two, and typically causes mild to moderate cold-like symptoms in healthy, full-term babies. Preterm infants, however, are born with undeveloped lungs and immature immune systems that put them at heightened risk for developing severe RSV disease, often requiring hospitalization.
