This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nabisco and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions and text are all mine. Every day after my daughter gets home from school, I give her a big hug because I’ve missed her and I want to know how her day went. But of course, the answer I always get is “Bien. Mami que hay de comer, tengo mucha hambre.” meaning “Good. Mommy what did ...

Many working moms know it’s not always easy to prepare a nutritious breakfast for kids every morning, especially if you have picky eaters. Although Naty wasn’t very picky with her food before she entered kindergarten, now dislikes some breakfast items she loved before.

Every morning I like to start my day off with a cup of coffee, who doesn’t?! I don’t care if it’s 40 or 90 degrees outside, I need my cafecito. Just the plain aroma of coffee gets me going, my mom is the culprit of my coffee addiction, you see when I was in high school she would drive me to school and every single day she would take her coffee to brave the traffic. To me, there ...

Now that school has started I have less time to sit and eat with my daughter to talk and enjoy breakfast or lunch together. When she comes home she eats dinner and then starts on her homework, leaving little time to enjoy those moments. Which is why I cherish and look forward to weekends. Growing up my parents worked so much, I can only remember Sunday mornings as the only day where all the famili ...

I try to do as my mom did with me and my siblings, keep English in school and Spanish learning a  home. Sometimes it i ...

Growing up my favorite part of the day has always been mornings. I love waking up early and getting breakfast ready for my family, especially on weekends. Since the kids are now back in school they tend to have their breakfast in school, but when my daughter saw the Malt-O-Meal® cereals I had bought she decided eating breakfast at home would be much tastier. Now when I go grocery shopping I like t ...

My familia and I are very excited for the summer this year, the kids will be out from school and we will have more time to enjoy evenings and weekends out at the park for soccer practice and games. My husband’s two boys are now both on soccer teams after years of practice and training with my brothers, now they both get to show out on the field all they have learned. I’m just trying to ...

We’ve all been through hard times at one point or another, but it is especially hard if you are or have children. I am very excited to be once again participating in the Hunger Is campaign at Randalls here in Houston, which runs from September 1st- 30th. I was mind blown last year after finding out that 1 in 5 children here in the USA live in homes without adequate food. On top of that, 10 m ...
