Assembly District Honoree

Wow... what an honor!....

I have been selected as Small Business Honoree for

Assembly District # 68 by Assembly Member Van Tran for the 2007 California Small Business Day http://www.csba.com/home/ in Sacramento on May 2 nd!.. The California Assembly passed a resolution in 2000 to honor small business. This is an all day event with over 200 people meet with the legislative leadership and business honorees. Over 70 legislators are expected!..

All of this is so surreal...the past few weeks I've been so overwhelmed with all the blessings. As I went through my entrepreneurship journey, all my time that was dedicated with leadership, donations, networking, volunteering, forming partnerships, assisting other entrepreneurs set a platform for my family and my business. Now I can see that all the hard work is being recognized by many.

The entrepreneurship road is not an easy one. As entrepreneurs, sometimes all we have is a vision of what will be. We learn to fight for we believe in, struggle day in and day out. Keeping the spirits up while we sacrifice time from our loved ones and devotion to our dreams.

That's when creativity, attitude and burning desire keep it alive !....
This award is for all my fellow entrepreneurs.... keep the dreams alive!

Join us if your in Austin, Texas from the 20th to 21 for the 2nd World Wide Comadrazo. We will be having a special legislative breakfast and exhibiting on Saturday. For more information check out http://www.lascomadres.org/ .

I will be a speaker at the MAOF 31st Annual National Hispanic Women's Conference on April 27 at the Pasadena Convention Center. Lic. Margarita Zavala, First Lady of Mexico will be the key note speaker. For more information check out http://www.maof.org/.

Stay tuned as Addy's drives away in the Addy mobile with sparkle and bling.

Wow.... we're in one of the Hottest magazines in Southern CA.... "Tu Ciudad" Magazine April Issue. This issue has "The Best of Orange County (Latino - Style); we are featured on page 57.

When I first saw the first issue in 2006.... I was extremely impressed with the magazine.. the look, stories, quality and elegance of this magazine. I read the entire magazine from start to finish.... this is not a norm for me. This magazine was worth reading over and over.

Tu Ciudad had a special gathering in OC at Taleo's Resturant in Irvine, CA.

It was so good to see two of my favorite writers . To the left is Mary Castillo, a very talented author http://www.marycastillo.com/ and Yvette Cabrera, a columnist for the OC Register. Yvette was featured on the Oprah Show this year. What a beautiful interview that depicted the beauty of our rich Latino Heritage and culture. We are so proud of you Yvette!...

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

This year was filled with so many non- stop fun activities for our family. It seemed like we finally had a chance to just enjoy our Easter. From Easter Hunting at my son's pre-school, a birthday party, goodies from family/friends and our own Easter Hunting. Wow... our candy supply is an overflow.

My little ones enjoyed their Easter baskets. I love to create their own basket by giving them things they will enjoy and use. My little guy just loves playing with water guns...anything that has water; so they both had their bubble makers plus a little bug collector container. My little girl is a little princess but she also loves bugs. They did not waste time finding little bugs and creating a home for them. They also enjoyed painting their Easter egg's.

Stay tuned as Addy's drives away in the Addy mobile with sparkle and bling.
