If there's one thing the Blogtober14 challenge brought me is blogging friends! I was able to meet many new bloggers (of different niches) and hope to stay in contact with you all!  I've been blogging for a while and this is actually my 100th post, I'm taking advantage that Sam and Connie have nominated me for the liebster award and I'll be answering their questions so you could learn more about me!

This past Tuesday the fourth was Avi's 5th birthday, and if you follow me on instagram you saw that we spent it in the hospital. Avi still had a great day, our neighbors came to visit her, the nurses and lunch lady gave her special gifts, and we decorated her room with a lot of balloons. The beautiful birthday girl with her presents from the nurses! A photo posted by Diana Elle (@dianaelleblog) on Nov 4, 2014 at 1:16am PST I've also been away from the blog for the past two weeks because we were in the hospital. If you remember I requested a prayer that no surgery would be necessary in my last post. Avi got a second degree burn, but we got through it! We're actually still working on it, keeping her hydrated, making sure she doesn't scratch, and applying cream so it doesn't dry up. The doctor told us it is practically all superficial except a little part on her leg that might be more deeper than we originally thought, there is a chance that she ...

Last year for my daughters 4th birthday she decided on a Hello Kitty themed party. This was her second birthday to be celebrated in Germany, but at the same time the first time we would celebrate with friends. so I wanted it to have a touch of home, there was going to be kids from different cultures and I figured it'd be col for them to experience a "Mexican" Fiesta.  I started doing a Piñata. but it was coming out too small  so I did not finish it. :/  But I did make my the goodie bags from scratch.  Materials needed: Moosgummi,  Glue,  string or ribbons, a nd candy. I bought some candy here but the rest I had sent from Mexico and USA  Shout out to my brother in law for bringing them to us! We ended up choosing a McDonald's location for the party since the nearest Burger king only had an outdoor play area and it was raining that week. We invited friends from her kita (kindergarten/daycare) and friends I made via Facebook (this is how ...

I love using twitter, it is a great way to let out what's in your mind and read what others have to say. I don't have many twitter related pet peeves, but I do know which is my main one. It is the use of the "favorite" option. There is something I don't understand and it bothers me, like when somebody has more favorites than tweets, uhm, why?  There are many reasons to which someone may press the favorite button, I, for example, only do it because: - I liked the tweet and want to save it. - I want to have access to it later. - It interests me but I don't have time to read it in that instant. - I would favorite a tweet to remember (Example. the first time somebody shared one of my blog posts, or in general when somebody new shares something of mine). I don't keep them there forever though, usually only until I read the article, then after I read it I un-favorite it. Currently I have under 70 "favorite" tweets and I think th...

[This was meant to be posted on Oct 21st.] I've been waiting two weeks to write about Avi's 3rd birthday party, it is the first one where we got crafty with almost everything.  When she was two she liked watching Pocoyo; her favorite character was Elly the Elephant. She said she wanted an Elly party, so an Elly party we threw.  I love this chick so much! I had scheduled everything for Avi's party at Pablo's aunts pool like the previous two years. I made the invitation using Photoshop for the first time, I think it came out good, you? Since we knew it would be the last party with family for at least two years, I had splurged a little and rented a bouncy house that included some 'icees'.   A day before the party the weather was not good for an outdoor party, it was raining almost non stop and the grass would still be wet the next day.  So instead of going grocery shopping (for food for the party) I went all over town looking for a pl...

Day 21. Your Dream Vacation I want to tell y'all about the one place I've dreamt of visiting since I found out about it.  Flashback to the '90s; If I had a yearbook with me i'd be able to tell you the exact year, but I don't so let's flashback to second grade. T here are few things I remember from this said grade, I remember it is my second favorite elementary school year (see what I did there?), and I remember  stuff I learned during this year, here are the two that most impacted me: One was where we were learning about caves. We built one in the classroom and we got to take turns going inside and looking at all the glitter/stars/tiny holes etc glued to the walls. this was fun for me, I hope they're still doing this in some schools.If not then I'll do one for Avi when she's older and she can help me decorate it and then see the final "product." The other occasion I have no clue of what we were doing, but I reme...

This prompt was a little difficult for me to answer, but I think if I keep it short, it's totally doable! Now, I've never been afraid of spiders, in fact, when I was younger and visiting my dad I saw one on the floor it looked little and harmless I decided to kill it, but when I did, a thousand (maybe more, maybe less) little spiders started crawling out of it. I got so freaked out! My dad had to fix this I have no idea how he did.. never again did I make that mistake. Word of advice: don't kill this spider: Via But if you were to ask me: Diana, what do you fear the most? I think I would have to say I son't know, but maybe it’s fear of success or failure. I don't know, it doesn't seem logical, and I don't know how to explain my fear, it is basically fear of not being able to provide for my family. This would freak me out, and I don't know why if I'm not even working at the moment. I think it has to do mainly with my biggest fear (b...
