Groupon Getaway: The Restaurant

storefront, Tijuana Taxi Co, Tijuana Taxi Co Storefront.
Tijuana Taxi Co. Look at the pretty lights in the window. I was like a moth to an arc of colorful lights.

After our relaxing 2-hour couple’s retreat, we had quite the appetite.

We didn’t get a Groupon for lunch, but we did get a Groupon for the hotel (which we planned to check-in to after our feast; link to the blog about the hotel coming soon).

As we were driving into the shopping center, we saw this place with colorful light arcs on the windows.

Just like the spa, the exterior of the restaurant was underwhelming, except for those fun-looking colorful light arcs.

Tijuana Taxi Co.? Is it a Mexican taxi company? No. It can’t be. So, I Googled it, and it was a restaurant!

Say what?!

I had to see what those arcs of lights were all about, so we walked over there.

“Hi. Welcome,” said a waiter that stood by a group patrons seated at a table on the patio.

We walked in, and a hostess greeted us, “Hi. Two?”

She grabbed a couple of menus and directed us to our table — a cute little booth made for two.

Looking around, I noticed that this was not the typical Mexican restaurant. It had so many vibrant colors everywhere and seemingly random signs, flags, posters, etc hung on the walls and ceiling, and I couldn’t help but imagine myself in a busy Mexican market.

Viva Mejico! Bourbon St.? What a multicultural fiesta!

I could already tell that this meal was not only going to be all about stuffing food into my mouth and chewing until my belly was full, it was going to be an experience.

A minute later, our waitress welcomed us and asked what she could get us to drink. I asked for water because I’d already had my fill of flavored fluids with the wine and tea we drank at the spa. My husband ordered a diet coke.

She brought us a basket of tortilla chips and a little container of salsa. That was very good. We ordered the queso dip to finish eating our tortilla chips. It was good! But we wanted to try another appetizer.

I started vlogging last month, and I even wrote a blog post about what I learned from vlogging on my own , but the biggest lesson I learned about vlogging on my own is how little I actually knew about vlogging . So when I found “Vlog Like a Boss,” I was excited to learn how a professional YouTuber makes her videos, so that I can try and do the same. You can read about how I found the class here.

Mom Confessions: Things You Said You'd Never Do as a Parent, But You Did

Image
Do you remember a time before you became a mom? A time when you’d see moms giving their children a tablet to watch cartoons while having lunch? Or changing their babies’ diapers right in the booth where they were eating? And you thought, “I will never do that when I have a kid.” But then, you find yourself with a shrieking human being in your arms that depends on you for everything, and you find yourself slowly letting go of all those expectations and doing all of those same things you said you’d never do. Well, it turns out that you’re not alone. I asked other moms this question: What is something you said you’d never do as a parent, but ended up doing? I started off the #momconfessions, “I said I’d never put a leash on my child. I bought one when she turned two.” Below are the #momconfessions that some honest, kickass Instagram moms shared: Le t Me Count the Ways “Gosh. Haha... What a great question! Where do I start? Bed sharing, breastfeeding past one year,

What To Do About a Picky Eater?

Image
My husband walks out of the kitchen in a huff, “I’m done,” he says running his fingers through his hair, “I don’t know what else to do. You try.” We cannot get our four-year-old daughter, Leia, to eat. We’ve tried not giving her any snacks so she’s hungry for mealtime and negotiating bribes of desserts/outings/toys/gold/diamonds at the end of a meal. These tactics seem to work at first, but after the novelty wears off, she flexes her stubborn-muscle and squarely refuses to eat. She then uses that muscle to play a game of tug of war with us where she drags our asses through a mud pit and leaves us with bruised cheeks, low morale, and a fair amount of post-traumatic stress. Leia’s entire diet consists of: 1. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 2. Tyson’s Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets or McNuggets (and heaven forbid you try to feed her any other kind of chicken nugget or chicken in any other form!). 3. Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s, Papa John’s, or certain local pizzeria piz
