15 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

I am not a newbie to the scene, I actually have been blogging and freelance writing since 2009. Being in the blogging or writing business doesn’t mean that everyone knows everything about me. I have learned the technique of how to share without really sharing certain things that only my inner circle of family and friends would know. My commitment to myself this year was to be more open and share more, I am hoping that I can inspire some of you or at least make you laugh.
  1. I am from Massachusetts, I am a Bostonian that carries the love for my city in my heart. Massachusetts will always be home-sweet home. ❤️ Even though I currently live on Long Island, New York. You can just imagine the grief I get when I wear my Patriots or Red Sox apparel. ????
  2. I moved to the 305, Miami when I was 13 and anyone who meets me today will tell me “Oh yeah, your from Miami”. Is it my accent, my fabulous Miami fashion style, my loud voice, the fact that I drive around playing Pitbull or raggaeton, I must drink my Cortadito everyday, or that I talk pretty fast. ☺️
  3. I have one sister, I am the oldest.
  4. I have an obsession with Twizzlers and French Fries.
  5. My favorite movie is A Bronx Tale.
  6. I just changed my religion, I am a proud Catholic or as my son would say a very religious person. ????
  7. I have always been obsessed with fashion and pushing the edge for my unique style. So much that I would hide my clothes in my backpack and change in school to avoid my mother telling me how fancy or ridicoulus she thought I looked.
  8. I can not sleep in after 7am, even if I try. I am wide awake.
  9. I am a mother to five unique, crazy, and amazing children. I have three two girls (18 & 16) and one boy (12). My hubby has two one girl (19) and a boy (13). You can just imagine how much fun my house can be with a blended family. ????
  10. I met my hubby at my local Starbucks … love over coffee. ????
  11. I go through these stages where me and my hubby will binge for a weekend on different tv series, most recently it was House of Cards, Bloodline, and Army Wives.
  12. I am old school about certain things.  I would prefer to write things down with a pen and paper. LOL … I have an obsession with journals. ????
  13. I have a serious OCD problem, everything must be clean, in it’s place, and organized. I will know if something is moved even half an inch. ????
  14. Every time I hear the Star Spangled Banner it tears me up. I have to hold back the tears. Sometimes it can be so embarrassing. I just love my country so much and instantly start thinking about all those soldiers who gave up so much for each one of us to have freedom. ???? ????????
  15. I love the ocean, everything that has to do with any water activity I am there. The crazy thing is that I had a little water accident years back, causing me to have anxiety when it comes to me being in the water.  I actually am afraid of the ocean, pool, river, lake, basically all bodies of water. I might be crying in the water or having an anxiety attack but I will try to get in and enjoy it. LOL! Yup I am a wierdo. ( I am working on overcoming this.) ⛵️

They say flowers, allow your home and life to bloom with new things. Here is a quick DIY with a little St. Patrick’s Day theme.

1. I prepare my flowers by cutting the bottom tips and remove the leaves.
2. I then create a mock sample of what I want the flower bouquet to look like, I remove it, and save it on the side.
3. I chose to use General Mills Lucky Charms for this arrangement.
4. I place plastic wrap on the top of the small vase to help pour the lucky charms only into the large vase.
5. Once I completed pouring the lucky charms into the large vase, I then place my premade bouquet into the base and add water and flower food.
6. I then arrange the flowers with a bit of love, and then they’re all set.
