As per usual the Part 1 the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Reunion left us wanting more, and not necessarily in a good way. It seems as though the gloves are off with a lot of the cast members friendships and no one was shy about putting out their feelings about it. Sandovol calling his ex a coward, Lala calling out Katie for backstabbing Ariana, and even tears from brock. I get into it all.

As dramatic and melancholy as the title of the is podcast was about the same level as my emotions were dropping my last baby at Pre-School today. Today was the first time that my husband and I have ever dropped him off and left him to go into the world without us. I get that I'm speaking as if he's going off to college so I'll reel it in and just say that today was unlike any other emotional milestone I have ever felt with my boys. there was surges of sorrow, pride, and even resentful anger. Yes...

What is life that my 8 year old has already decided what type of woman he wants for himself in the year 2065 when I finally decide to let him date. In this podcast we talked about the sweetest mother's day card that he gifted me over the weekend, and a moment at his school dance where I had to hold back my inner latina. The girls are getting a little too flirty at the rip old age of eight and a half. All jokes aside I couldn't be more proud of the amazing young man that my OG baby boy is turning...

In honor of Mother's day I decided to take things back to almost 9 years ago when I was pregnant with my first baby boy. Time is a true thiend and it's insane to me to think about my son' growing like weeds right before my very eyes. It also comforting to know based in hearing that letter, that I can do anything as a mother as long as I just love them with all that I am. Sending so much love this Mother's day to call the mamas in every form, and to the hopefully soon to be mamas that are yearnin...

My head was spinning from screaming at the television last night when I finally had alone time to watch the episode from start to finish. many are speculating that this could be the precursor to the series actually ending after more than ten years in production. In this episode I chat about the clever way Ariana backed production inot a corner, the wannabe cast member that just needs to take a seat, and the moment that Sandovol proved that he will never truly be a changed man. But it's not as if...

This episode took an emotional turn for my husband Marshall that I wasn't expecting it to, but I'm oh so grateful that it did. We sat down to chat about the moment at my son's soccer game that was pure elation and pride for me, but somewhat of a childhood trauma realization for him. It's not often that my husband be so emotionally wide open of his own accord, and and even more infrequent with an audience. So needless to say I'm proud of him. In this episode I also talked about a moment of insecu...

This may as well be one of the pettiest celebrity headlines I have ever talked about. But considering who's involved I could honestly believe that Rachel Leviss would pull a stunt like this to either get her name back in the press and or get back at Ariana Madix for asking the court to dismiss her lawsuit.In this episode I dive into all of that leftover Scadovol dramas as well as getting into the shade that Sheana was throwing at her supposed bestie Ariana. And let us not forget that Something A...

As a former single mom myself I can empathize with what it means to bring a child into this world knowing that you are more than likely going to have a very different road into parenting that someone who has a partner to help lighten the load. But rather than fear it, there is a whole community of parents that embrace it and choose to go it alone. In this episode I interview Erin, who is a single mom of two beautiful boys that she has chosen to conceive and raise solo. Erin realized from a relat...

There are so many times that new mamas will ask me if the dreaded Mom Guilt ever goes away and the sad truth of it is that it surely does not. I'm 8.5 years in and for me it just seems to either multiply or morph into a different form rather than ease up. In this episode I talk about the moment that I feel like I chose the wrong thing and let my kiddo down. And that choice led to me missing a pretty big moment in his budding soccer career. What they say about the days being long and the years be...

Anyone that knows my husband marshall and I as a couple knows that he's not usually one to say no to me. In fact I think I can count on one hand the times he's put his foot down and said he would be genuinely upset if I did a particular thing against his wishes. But if i'm honest I wasn't shocked when I showed him the Skims Nipple Bra and he gave me his epic side eye. This episode is a true depiction of our marriage and how different we are as people, but we still see eye to eye. ENJOY! reallyri...

In my experience ADHD is the type of disability that often gets overlooked or even discounted all together by those closest to you. Growing up getting that diagnosis meant that you were just hyper or you could sit still. Now having been diagnosed at the age of 38 I realize just how unfair and isolating it is to have your brain function identity than others and not truly understand why. In this episode I discuss the signs that you may be experiencing ADHD paralysis, its effects on everyday life, ...

But in the gym, that is the place where all of the rest of the world goes away and I am free to think of nothing else. For one hour I can switch off all of my worries, anxieties, and insecurities and be the strong woman I know I am.

This week was definitely and emotional rollercoaster for me being that mercury was in retrograde and my last baby and I did his first mommy and me PreK class. In planning today's episode I was reminded of one that I did what seems like a lifetime ago the week that my oldest son Lyric went to PreK.

With all of this talk of the sun during the Eclipse yesterday I've realized that I have just about the pastiest skin I've had since birth. growing up in Florida and being Latina I'm used to seeing my skin with a somewhat natural bronze to it, but these last few winters in Maryland have all but erased that. So if you're not into tanning beds or orange sheets from spray tanning I've put together the perfect list of inexpensive sunless tanning products for you to try. And an added bonus is most of ...
