My paternal grandparents immigrated to the United States from Taumalipas, MX. in 1962. Growing up, my parents made it a firm point to be proud of both my Mexican heritage, as well as my firm American roots.

I am very proud to be a second generation Mexican-American. As my grandparents & parents did before me, I continue to raise my children to be proud of our heritage and culture!

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois., I grew up with a plethora of different cultures. I loved the exposure, and continue to seek new foods and experiences for myself and my family. I love documenting all of the new things we learn. ♡

I began blogging in 2006, mainly about my experience moving from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky. 9 years, 2 kids, 3 blogs, & hundreds of wine bottles later, I'm finally a bit more settled down. I now write about things I'm passionate about -specifically Beauty, Style, Food, y Cultura.
