*Photo below take last night (8/1/17) 40 weeks and one day. Here I am at 40 weeks and 2 days, waiting for my third baby and I can't believe I had my final workout last night!!! I can honestly say that I've never felt better or healthier than I do today. Believe it or not, I actually had a bit of a scare soon after I found out I was pregnant and was debating whether or not I would work out during this pregnancy. I got the green light from my doctor at about 15-16 weeks and dec

As promised here are some side dishes and a warm dessert to pair with your Thanksgiving feast. I found these recipe's to be easy and time savers. We have a creamed corn, sweet potato souffle, and mulled wine poached figs and berries. Remember to always buy your groceries a day or so before so you don't feel overwhelmed on due day. SYLVIA'S CREAMED CORN: MATERIALS- Slow Cooker / Crock Pot INGREDIANTS- 3 bags (12 oz each) frozen whole kernel corn 4 packages (3 oz each) cream ch

Since my boyfriend and I's schedule can get a bit crazy, I realized how quickly time was passing and I needed to secure a special date, for a much desired FRIENDSGIVING. We've hosted tapas and picnic style parties but never a dinner party. I also wanted to take on the challenge of making the turkey! I've seen it done a bunch of times, but I always partake on baking duties. Fortunately for me, my sister Sylvia had made the RECIPE POST last year, and gotta say she was a great s

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and I know that for some, it could be challenging to think of a gift that “Mom” would love. Well coming from THIS momma, I will share with you some ideas that all moms would love, use and appreciate! All moms want to look and feel beautiful ALL THE TIME, but let’s be real, time is a precious factor for the process (yes, I said process) it takes for us to look our best! A couple of things that moms would love and appreciate and most certainl

Sylvi's Rainbow & Unicorn themed 4th Birthday Party *This Blog Post has been updated w/ helpful links for party supplies as of 2019 I can’t believe another year has come and gone and my oldest is now 4…time really does fly! And I feel it flying faster ever since I started having kids. I ABSOLUTELY love everything having to do with kiddie parties and celebrations! Having a boy and a girl, I definitely get to play around with different themes and ideas, and love a fun challenge

Just in time for Easter, this is a really fun treat to make, eat and decorate! You can make these little bad boys for just about any holiday or occasion. I’m not going to lie, the decorating part can be a little messy when trying to coat the truffles, but the taste will be worth the clean up! Here is what you’ll need: 8 oz. cream cheese 1 regular size package of Oreos (and no double stuff either, just regular) Pinch of salt I bag of chocolate melting candy or chocolate chips

Coming from a large Cuban family, you can be sure that our Thanksgivings are filled with lots of food and family!! Regardless of who hosts Thanksgiving, my mom always makes “thee” turkey. Growing up, I was always soo fascinated watching her stuff and cook the turkey that I couldn’t wait to learn her recipe. Finally, the day came! One Thanksgiving, a few years back, I joined her in the kitchen from start to finish and took notes on everything she used and how she did things. I

When it comes to presents, I ABSOLUTELY love searching for the perfect gift and I love to wrap and present the gift in a pretty way!!! First and foremost, I’m a planner. I am your typical type A-brainer, so I do 2 things: whoever it is that I am buying for, I think about the person.
