We all work so hard, to pay bills, to put food on our tables, to support our families. Sometimes we just need to get away from all this madness that is life. I think that it is so important to give ourselves time to recharge.
Being a mom, I am always needed. I’m constantly cleaning the house, grocery shopping, helping with homework, finding a lost jacket or playing with barbie dolls. Trust me, I love being a mom and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but sometimes I just need to step away. I know for some moms going to Target without the kids can be like heaven on Earth! For me, I love getting away for a couple of days. I try to do this at least twice a year, budget permitting of course.
Last weekend I took a trip to LA. This was my time to getaway and to recharge. I also wanted to see my best friend Jimmy! We always have so much fun whenever we hang out! We ate a lot of yummy food, I got my tattoo finished, we went to Disneyland and we even went to the Conan O’Brien taping! Last weekend was definitely one for the books!
On this trip we got to eat at some of our favorite restaurants. One of them was Din Tai Fung. Their dumplings are so good! We ordered the shrimp & pork wontons in spicy sauce, shrimp & pork dumplings, pork & crab soup dumplings and pork chop fried rice. Everything was so good!!
Another favorite restaurant of ours is Bao Dim Sum House. We ordered har gow (shrimp dumpling), crispy crab & shrimp balls, pork & shrimp shui mai, shrimp fried rice, spinach and mushroom dumplings and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. My favorite was the har gow and crispy crab & shrimp balls, but everything was so good!
And of course the best part of my trip was Disneyland! We originally had planned on visiting the parks for only one day, but we ended up going for two days! I was so happy! The park was so crowded on Saturday and I was so cold, so we ended up leaving early. That night we had dinner at another favorite, Panini Cafe. I ordered a tuna melt and it was so good! It came with chicken soup and OMG the soup was so good! It was filled with chicken, potatoes, carrots and celery. It was perfect for a cold night!
Disneyland was nice and empty on Sunday. And this time I was dressed for the cold weather. Here are some pics from both days at Disneyland.
Before heading home, Jimmy took me to a taping of the Conan O’Brien show. It was my first time at a taping. The guests were Adam Scott, Genesis Rodriguez and The Vamps. I was so happy to see Adam Scott because Parks & Rec is one of my favorite shows! I had so much fun! Thanks for taking me Jimmy!
It’s so important to love ourselves, treat ourselves and give ourselves the time we need to recharge! No one wants to be grumpy and overworked! So take time to treat yourself! I love you guys and I hope you enjoyed my very first blog post!

If anyone deserves a little vacay its definitely you! Hope to see you at home soon! (Disneyland).

You definitely deserve time away. I can totally relate to this, definitely being over worked and over stressed. There are some stressful things going on right now that I’m not putting in the vlog, so I have actually been thinking of a getaway without the kids. That may have to wait until after April. But this blog has inspired me, not to feel guilty for needing time away, I feel so trapped sometimes. Thank you for this.

I agree with you as mom you definitely need time for yourself. I’ll be going to NY this weekend just me and my hubby and of course i get negative comments even from family members judging me for going out without my daughter but it’s a must so I dont go crazy lol. Some people have nothing better to do then just go on the internet and hate. Treat yourself girl! I know i will 🎉🍷

You are so right…
Sometimes well all the times i feel that i dont have a life, i work in walmart and our hours and days off is not the same all the times,, i always work in the weekends so i dont spend a lot of time with my girls(i have 2 girls Jolette 11and Jocelyn6), and it make me feel sad. And elso i dont have friends to talk too, and my family went back to Mexico, so i dont have too much family, so everytime i see your videos at my lunch time it make me feel happy. Thankyou Mel
