Following my Bliss(dom)

I'm headed out to Nashville, Tennessee for the Blissdom Blogging Conference 2012.

I'm so looking forward to my time there! I'll be staying with my good friend and partner in Tiki Tiki and Blog Crime, Carrie Ferguson Weir.

I promise to share all the wonders of Nashville if I can figure out how to blog from my smart phone. (That would be kind of lame not to be able to do that. Hello? SMART phone! But that's not important right now.)

Anyway, I'll be visiting, sightseeing, eating wonderful things and hanging with my Cuban Cubiches in Nashville.

I'll be back in a week or so with lots of really cool giveaways and things to share.

In the meantime, since I won't be in town for Luza's birthday. Can you share with me how to thwart the evil eye? I swear, my mom is part gypsy. ;-)

Next time you hear from me, I'll be in Music City. (I'm already feeling sooo accidentally cool.)

Bye!

I'm new to this site, but I can relate to a lot of the things posted on here. That makes sense since I was born in Cuba, moved to Miami when I was 11 and now, after getting married, live in Kansas!!

This Woman Deserves a Party... My mom will be 98(!) next week. This means it's time to plan a party. For obvious reasons it won't be a surprise party. ;-) I'd love to share your birthday greetings with her. Please leave a comment on this post in English or Spanish. I know Luza will be thrilled to hear from you.

It's the Little Things (A Giveaway from IMUSA) Growing up Cuban has always meant turning normal size things into the diminutive form. When there were Everest-sized mountains of sandwiches, they were called "bocaditos." Or "just a mouthful." Lies. It took more than "just a bite" to consume these particular delicacies. We don't just drink café, we have a "cafecito." (A little coffee.) Or an espresso topped with steamed milk is called a "cortadito," no matter what size it is. "Cortadito" translates to "little cut." (Don't ask me why this makes any sense.) We don't eat just eat papas fritas (French fries), we enjoy "papitas fritas." Can you see just how much cuter and much more appetizing they are when you add the "-ita"? Your adorable Cuban grandmother is not just your abuela, she is your "abuelita." Everything seems much more adorable and cuter with the addition of the diminutive suffix. Add an "-ito" or "-ita" to something and...
