What's your "Good Day" soundtrack?

I had a great day today! I got a lot of work done, a blog post submitted to SDMomfia, and had lunch with a dear offline friend. We even had sushi, which I love. Then? I had a great afternoon with my husband and kids. It was a beautiful, cool, late summer day here in San Diego.

I have certain songs that I reserve for days like this. Today, because I got soooo much done? I felt like...

Best. Superhero theme. Ever.*

I know, all the comic-book nerds would argue that the Spider Man theme is better. To them I say: Let me see you dance to it. That's right, you can't dance to the Spider Man theme and look cool. But Wonder Woman? You can get down all day to that one!

I also love this song because Wonder Woman was one of the few primetime shows my dad would let me watch as a kid-he had a GIGANTE crush on Lynda Carter.

Do you have a "Good Day" soundtrack? What's on it? I'm always looking for new tunes to add to my playlist :)

*Actually, the BEST version of this theme song is from the show's first season, it's just that Youtube wouldn't let me embed the video here. But if you search "Wonder Woman Season 1 Intro" on Youtube you'll hear the AWESOMEST version of this already awesome song.

GIVEAWAY-It's the Ross "Back to School" CHALLENGE!

Hola everyone!

Like many of you who attended Blogher, I'm still recovering! It's taken a little longer than expected since I seem to have picked up a rather nasty bug from one of the 3,500 or so ladies I spent the weekend with. I hate being sick! It really gets me down. So I decided to cheer myself up by doing a little GIVEAWAY!

I admit it, I'm a Ross-aholic!

Before Blogher, I was contacted by the good folks at Ross Dress for Less to do a follow up post to the "Dress for Less" challenge we did a couple of months ago. THIS time, it's all about "Back to School". How much "Back to School" swag can I score at Ross for $25? A LOT!

Since I generously gave my "Blogher Bug" to my daughter, I figured she needed some cheering up too. So I found some seriously peppy school supplies that will keep her smiling well into the fall. WARNING: the following photo contains quantities of pink that may be unsuitable for cynical readers.

Here's the breakdown:

$10 Hello Kitty Backpack
$7 Hello Kitty Lunchbox
$2 Disney Princess notebook with matching pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, memo pad and calculator
$2 Assorted pink fancy hair scrunchy-thingys
$4 4-pack pink socks

NOT BAD, right? Think you can do better? Then BRING IT. That's right, I'm challenging one of you to take the Ross "Back to School" Challenge! One of you will win a $25 Ross gift card to help your kid(s) look forward to Fall.

Here's how to enter:
1. Leave a comment sharing what part of "Back to School" you're most looking forward to.
2. Like Ross Dress for Less on Facebook and leave a comment saying you did (or leave a comment letting us know you already do)
3. Like Nacho Mama's Blog on Facebook and leave a comment saying you did (or leave a comment letting us know you already do)

Maximum 3 entries per person, US residents only. Contest closes midnight PST, August 14th. Winner will be selected at random using Random.org and announced here Monday, August 15th.

Wishing you love and GOOD LUCK with extra cheese-
Nacho Mama

PS-Those heels I wore while dancing in the Blogher flashmob? Got 'em at Ross.

VIDEO POST: Blogher Highlight #1: FLASHMOB!!

Hello Everyone!

Well, it's the day after Blogher and I am BEAT!! The food, the drink, the friends-it was all a GIGANTE BLAST! (plus? I got soooo many questions about my cute Jockey Person to Person clothes!)

I'm way too pooped to do a real post about it right now, but I wanted to share one of the highlights of the whole conference for me: I DANCED IN A FLASHMOB! It was put together by sistah Momfia-members Theresa (@rockonmommies) and Mary (@mamamaryshow) and somehow 175 gabby bloggers managed to keep #OPERATIONGLORY a secret for weeks!



While I recover from last nights closing festivities-please enjoy this video taken by one of the 3,000+ bloggers who were there (I'm in the font row, middle left of the screen, in my black and hot pink Jockey Person to Person, of course!)

 

Thanks again to my wonderful sponsors, Jockey Person to Person-please like their facebook page! I'll be doing a post on the 12 outfits I wore at Blogher (put together from only 10 garments!) a little later.


Wishing you love and RHYTHM with extra cheese-

THANK YOU Latina Mom Bloggers!

This morning I woke up and saw that my friends and sistah bloggers were on Facebook talking about me. And it was ALL GOOD! Seems I'm the FEATURED BLOGGER at Latina Mom Bloggers. Thanks ladies!! I'm truly honored.

THANK YOU!

I was especially touched that they would post their interview with me right before Blogher, where I'll get to meet so many of my favorite bloggers, many of whom are (you guessed it) Latina Mom Bloggers. You can read it all HERE. And if you are a Latina Mom Blogger, or know one, I hope you'll check out the rest of the site and sign up!

I can't WAIT for Blogher! Now, off to light a vela so that it will cool off a little here in San Diego by then, lol!
