My name is Christina Cruz Castaneda. I'm 27 (wishing I could still type in 24 lol). I have been with my sweetheart Michael Cuenca for going on 6 years now (Mikey). We have three children. Denise Cathlean (Niecey), Emily Christine (Ema) and Michael Christian (Bubba). These guys are my whole world!

(let's get one thing straight! When I type I tend to use a lot of ( ) and .... It's the way I write and I'm not changing that habit for anyone ....Capish?? ;) )

I grew up in Glendora California. A city 20 min from L.A . I feel like I was very blessed growing up where I did.I am one of four siblings. My oldest brother Raymond Jr., my twin sister Sonia (Aka SCCASTANEDA) and my little sister Marina.
I was raised by my mom Maria Castaneda and she, by far holds the most value in life! My dad is such an amazing person who loves me and everyone around him. I like to think it's where I get my heart from.

In my house it was a little crazy especially being a twin and having us both as middle children (lol oooooh Lord!) For the most part we fought ...but were each others best friends behind closed doors. Back then she was the brains and I was the talent. (Now she has it all ) and I am a mommy with hidden talents lol. I was inspired to start writing because of my sister. She really is a great woman and I wouldn't want to have been womb mates with anyone else! All of us kids live around our mom..unfortunately our umbilical cord doesn't reach more than a 10 mile radious! It's great though because I have all of my family with in 2 city's.

I went to school at Azusa High School in Azusa and Graduated 2002. If there was a club I was in it! I was a Varisity Cheerleader and loved it! But all in all Drama was by far my passion. I know one day I'll get there and pursue what I really want to do in life. weather its acting or teaching drama... I know it'll happen :D . Until then I am doing what I love and that's coaching cheer for the Azusa Raiders. It is an amazing job but extremely hard! I coach for the community so it's not something I don't get paid for which makes it all the more important because the children know you are there because you want to be..not because you have to be. I cheered for the same team growing up, so this is an amazing opportunity.

This last year was my very first year coaching. I am extremely proud of my girls because we made it all the way to Nationals in Las Vegas! We start sign ups again in March!

I am a Temp and stay at home mom And no.. I am NOT on welfare because I am Mexican, young and have three kids lol. (I get that a lot and I think it's crazy that people get stereotyped so quickly...so just sayin). I stay home to cook ,clean and take care of my little guy while everyone is at work and school. I cook almost everyday so I thought.. why not write blogs, make how to videos on my cooking and talk about random stuff to see where this leads me?? I'm going for it! Today I'm going to the market and I'm stocking up on what I know will be great for my blogs and Youtube!

I hope you got to know a lot about me and I look forward to blogging!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!
