About Me

My photo
I was motivated to start a blog by reading all the wonderful talented individual's who have blogs out there. So, I want to make this blog about everyone who reads it. My family and God always comes first in my life. I want to share my experiences and in turn, hope to get feedback and ideas from you. I love unique things, I adore anything that sparkles (not over the top though) I love decorating, cooking, gardening, photography and shopping. My number one passion is photography! To me it becomes more than a picture, it can become a piece of art, or a beautiful memory. Decorating, though I am not a professional, and don't claim to be, has been a part of my life since I was very young, and just love searching and shopping for new ideas and incorporate the old, such as Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency with contemporary. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, and being of Hispanic heritage, I love cooking Mexican food, and love to share my authentic recipes. Though I live in Florida, my heart is in the desert southwest, and hope that my family and I will return there very soon…keep your fingers crossed that my prayers are answered SOON!!!

The Forth of July is my favorite summer holiday...love to create a new table setting each year, try new recipes along with those traditional ones. I found some beautiful and fun pieces at Pottery Barn that would make for a great backyard BBQ with family and friends. It's inevitable that it will be hot here, so to serve a variety of cool tropical drinks with fresh fruit is going to be on my list this year. Just light the sparklers, sit back, relax, take a lot of pictures, create new memories and remember the old, and have a wonderful holiday!
