Thanksgiving Between Two Worlds
November 29, 2019 No Comments
Ask any Hispanic or Latino, and they will tell you, Our Thanksgiving is between two worlds, the Hispanic and the American. In my case, it is between the American, the Cuban, the Argentine, and the Puerto-Rican. They blend to form traditions that are rich, mixed, and often complicated. The old meets the new. The viejitos […]
Toy Story Mania

I almost beat my husband at Toy Story Mania yesterday. ALMOST. Toy Story Mania is a fun arcade-style shooting game. I always lose to my husband. ALWAYS. Yesterday when we played, I started out very strong. Surprisingly, I was winning after the first three rounds. I felt confident. No, he was not “letting me win” […]
Laura

Thank you, Laura. Are you like Laura? Yesterday when I went to pick up my child at school, she was not at her usual spot. I scanned my eyes over the crowd of children. I could not see my child. In my mind, I said, “Where is she?” Soon, I started saying it aloud. Laura […]
A Little Bit of Pixie Dust

In our home, we frequently discuss the values we instill our girls. We have a select few charities that we donate to when we can, but we wanted to do more. We have been incredibly blessed, and we want to leave a legacy for our girls of giving back. That is when we had […]
Vulture
September 6, 2019 No Comments
As I was driving down the street recently, I noticed a swarm of vultures eating and picking away at whatever roadkill happened to meet its fate. At that moment, I thought to myself, we need fewer vultures. I do not mean the animal. The animal is part of the “circle of life” as they say. […]
Disney for ALL ages

If you had asked me three years ago, what is the best age to take a child to Disney World, my response would have been, “Do not take a child younger than four.” I was wrong. I had the above opinion before I had children of my own. My oldest daughter went to Disney World […]
Triggered

My daughter starts Kindergarten this month, and I am worried about her first year at a big kid school. I have the usual mom concerns. Those include her making friends, lunchtime, and the dreaded car line. I am also terrified she will not make it home on any given day. Will she be shot at […]
What a MIGHTY GOOD MAN

Those little lines read pregnant, and our world changed forever, twice. I always knew you would be an excellent father. I chose you to be the father of my children because I knew the kind of man you were. Yes, I always knew you would make an excellent father. What I did not realize is […]
Eyes Wide Open

“What happened to the trees, Mama?” she asked me with a sad tone in her voice. I replied, “I am not sure.” I drove by the trees daily. I honestly never looked at the trees. I knew they were there. I knew they were “pretty” to look at, and yet, I never genuinely looked at […]
Girl, You Are Enough

I knew the comments and questions would come swiftly. I underestimated how quickly they’d come. After the birth of our second daughter, the question came before I even left the hospital. An orderly asked, “Are you going to try for the boy?” Many people would just dictate, “Better get started on trying for the boy!” […]
