I am a 2nd generation Latina. Well, 1 and a half if you want to get really technical. My father was born in the U.S. and my mom was born in Mexico. My dad’s family eventually moved back to Mexico. But it was a border town, and he attended school in the U.S., and my … Continue reading Cultura vs. Consistency
Your hijos can pick their own toys
Like many mothers out there, soy adicta to Target. Like a moth to the flame, the red sign hypnotizes me and I go way WAY over budget. As you know, unless you’ve been living under a pierda, Target has come under fire for doing away with labeling their toys section by gender. Some say that … Continue reading Your hijos can pick their own toys
Conjunction Junction Que es tu Function?
Much like many Latino Millenials out there, we’re growing out of the traumatic parts of our teen years, and coming into our own beings.I will say it is a bit nerve wracking for me to do this whilst raising 4 children-3 full time…but in particular 2 girls. Growing up, I was the first girl in … Continue reading Conjunction Junction Que es tu Function?
Esposa Barbie
I have a pretty united family. I'm lucky to be close to 2nd and even 3rd cousins. I have a 2nd cousin who comes from a family of GORGEOUS people. 4 sisters who are just a bunch of models. Tiny frames, long dark locks of hair, who've birthed the most beautiful babies with the tiniest of baby … Continue reading Esposa Barbie
Tercas (Looks like we made it!)
I sat in the sonogram room nervously fidgeting, trying to remain calm. I was slightly panicking as I hadn't gotten my period and had 2 positive pregnancy tests weeks 7 and half weeks after my miscarriage, and if I WAS pregnant I needed to know ASAP. She inserted the equipment and I had a … Continue reading Tercas (Looks like we made it!)
Pico de Gallo: Handle with Care!
Once upon a time, my Esposo and I were newly-weds and I learned a valuable lesson on how water is not always your friend. Esposo was having his first guy hangout at the house...some Fraternity event, so no women allowed. Except me of course, because someone had to cook, right? Yes, that sounds sexist. But … Continue reading Pico de Gallo: Handle with Care!
Please Stop Being Such a Great Dad.
WARNING: In this post I may sound ungrateful and just plain bitchy...but hear me out. I'm coming from a place of love. On Friday I saw a piece written by Abi Oborne in the HuffPost about how she's not lucky to have a husband who's a good father. Basically stating that they're his children too, … Continue reading Please Stop Being Such a Great Dad.
My cama game strong! Or, why I make the bed everyday
I will fully admit, I can be messy. Not dirty, but messy-there is a difference. Like, my clothes may be piled up everywhere on the closet, bathroom, and bedroom floors, but my bed? Hunty, it will be on point. My Madre would be so proud. A typical morning in high school consisted of me gathering … Continue reading My cama game strong! Or, why I make the bed everyday
Abuelas are worse at following rules.
Ayyy esa abuela! 😧grandma clearly does not abide by the Pediatricians rules. "Que saben esos doctores?" Teething on a pretzel.....
date night!
Months ago, my old boss arranged for me to get floor seat tickets to a concert I only dreamed of going to as an awkward teen raging out to rock music in my room sorting through my rhinestone cuffs and plaid skirts..Manson and Smashing Pumpkins! BONUS: Smashing Pumpkins are on of Esposo's favorite bands! … Continue reading date night!
