#naphopomo 2013, Day 19: One of my role models
Tonight I ran into one of my role models, the wonderful Teresa Farfan. Turns out she is one of co-workers sister. Teresa inspired me to study journalism when I was in High School. I used to watch Teresa in the late nineties when she was one of the main reporters/anchor on Univision. She later move to…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 17: Dinner en nuestro hogar
Tonight Gael and I hosted a dinner for a small group of friends at home. This was a first for me. I’ve never really had more than one friend come over for dinner. It was really nice. It’s was our usual sunday breakfast bunch- Rafa, Pau and Ale. I managed to cook a pretty decent meal…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 16: Meet Mike
I met Mike Segal this morning during a visit at Ben Taub Hospital with my Mom. He came into the waiting area and said, “at 11am I’m going to have a support group in this room. I would like to tell you my story.” My initial thought was, “oh great, what’s this guy going to…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 15: Out of the ordinary
Today I decided to do something out of the ordinary while Gael spent time with Dad. I took a dance class for the first time in a very long time. If you know me well, you know I love to dance. I wanted to be a dancer when I grew up… I still do! The…

It was great watching the designer…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 13: Domingos con Tota
Gael gets excited when we visit Tota on sundays. She tries to sing to him and he just stares. I love watching them interact because I never thought she would get to see one of my kids. She used to say, “You need to hurry up and have a baby before I die.” She…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 12: Dinner with friends
A dinner with a great group of friends will always be a win on a Saturday night. Gael and I did just that last night. Gatherings like this are great reminders of how great are good ol’ hangouts, and conversations with friends. I mean, LIVE hangouts!! We don’t do this enough in the age of…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 11: Friday night light
Give a kid a flash light and this is what happens! Tonight Gael and I did our usual Friday date night. I took advantage of the nice weather and took out to Market Square in downtown. I think it’s pretty amazing how kids love the simplest things. There’s no need to buy the most…

#naphopomo 2013, Day 10: Morning smiles
This is the smile I got to enjoy this morning. Actually, this is the smile I get to see every single morning. I said it on my first #naphopomo post and I don’t mind saying again and again! One of my favorite things about Gael is the fact that he wakes up with that same smile…

Day 9: Community Table #naphopomo
Tonight I got some much needed adult time with my lady friends April and Ericka. We have made it a habit to meet every 2 to 3 weeks for a nice dinner out. It is our version of “ladies night out “minus the heavy drinking and clubbing. Gael is usually the 4th guest but tonight…
