With summer vacation behind us and the holiday season approaching, now is a good time to think about holiday vacations and accommodations. This summer, we were lucky enough to get the full Camp Omni experience at the Omni Orlando Resort at Champions Gate and we absolutely loved it. Our family loves traveling and road trips so when this...
January 6th, marks a big holiday for many Latinos around the globe, El Día de los Reyes Magos, or Three Kings Day. Before I was done with my breakfast this morning, my mom had already sent me a picture of her Rosca de Reyes, the cake made in the shape of a wreath eaten on this special day. Growing...
This recipe for traditional red pozole soup is so delicious. I learned how to make this soup while in Mexico this year. The soup is so good you’ll want to make it over and over again. Pozole, or posole, is one of Mexico’s traditional dishes. It is made with hominy, chili, oregano, and pork and enjoyed any...

Actually, I think it’s deepened my hatred more because I know the bugs are out there and they are in abundance. Waiting to attack, bite, or pounce. ...
What an amazing first day in Mexico! Things did not go as planned but despite a few delays the day ended great. First thing on our agenda was lunch with the family. We had about 15 minutes in our room before my aunt called from the lobby. She took at least an hour long ride on the metro just to take us 3o minutes by taxi to...
As I shared before, we’re planning a cultural immersion experience in Mexico. We settled on going to Mexico because the price was right, the housing was right, and most of all, the trip is going to be fabulous! We will spend two days in Mexico City then head to San Miguel de Allende. During...
