El papá de mellizos por @lorenasues - The dad of twins by @lorenasues

I recently gave birth to my son 5 months ago, and still it feels like it was just yesterday. And honestly, since then I’ve been a mess. As moms, we tend to put ourselves at the back of the line for just about everything. I know I sometimes manage to forget or just not have enough time to sit down and eat a proper meal or enjoy a refreshing drink. Hydration is the most important way to keep ...

I have already written about my feelings when speaking to my son in English in front of native speakers. As I imagined, there would be more situations where I would find myself with English speakers for various reasons. Well, I havent had to wait a long time for a new moment to come. The other day on the bus, the couple sitting behind were Americans. I was carrying my little one in the baby carrie ...

A finales del 2014 me entere de que Huffington Post estaba buscando bloggers invitados para la sección de Parents. Me arme de valor e inspiración y esto fue lo que salió. Fue un gran logro verlo publicado en este sitio que me encanta. Les dejo el link de la publicación original: Huffington Post Online. The Stigma of Being a Working Mom in Mexico Before I get this off my chest, I want to say tha ...

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 ...

New Kids series looks to educate and entertain children by transporting them into a world where bees reflect similar situations of their daily lives As a mom to a 5-year-old child, I am always looking for ways to help her improve her Spanish and be able to learn in both languages. 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 in a Hispanic home, there were celebrations for everything, whether there was an accomplishment at school or holidays- everything was celebrated with all the family. April 30th, El Día del Niño has always been a day of celebration for everyone of all ages. We all have that inner child in us, and why not celebrate him/her. Piñatas, candy, loteria and our favorite childhood meals were alw ...

So now that winter has officially started, comes the time when we look for other fun activities to do indoors. One of my favorite ways of spending time with the kids is at the movies, in fact we were out at the movie theater just last weekend. I always let the kids choose a movie because I enjoy watching animated movies, it’s a moment where I get to forget about everything going on in the re ...

Have you ever been so entertained by a program or series that you cannot miss it every single night? I know I have, but sometimes we don’t all agree on one show. You see I like my novelas, my husband like sports, and my daughter loves her cartoons and kid’s movies; so we can never watch the same programs. Luckily I now have Xfinity X1 where I can watch all my favorite Spanish-language ...

Today is the first day of Fall! Hooray! I am so excited for Summer to be over with and ready to move on to some cooler weather, pumpkin spiced everything, cute boots, and sweaters. This Summer down here in Houston, like always brutal! Every morning I wonder why even do my makeup, as soon as I step out the door I’m melting. These last few weeks have been especially hot and humid due to rainy ...
