Dia De Las Madres: Celebrating Mother’s Day Everyday

But, my mom is sooooo much more than that. She truly is my number one role model…the true definition of a #GirlBoss. She is from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

She went on to become the first woman and first Latina President/CEO of Border Federal Credit Union in Del Rio, TX. This past April, she was awarded the Cornerstone Credit Union League Professional of the Year Award. I took some days ff from work so I could make it to the awards ceremony. My mom has always been there for me, so I wanted to be there for her. I am sooooo fortunate to have my as a mentor, friend, and mom! She is such an inspiration to me.

Foodie Friday – Joe’s Bakery & Mexican Food

I am extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food. When I first heard of Joe’s from a friend, I am not gonna lie, I was thinking, “You are full of s***!” The thing is that ever since I came to Austin I hadn’t found a place that truly, really, sincerely reminded me of the food from back home.
