A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to take a trip to the beach with a group of good friends. Amidst many laughs, the topic of motherhood came up and one mom said, “Those first two weeks after...
I think we all have some special summer memories. I certainly have my share of memories of summers as a kid. I remember occasional raspas (snow cones), watermelon with my abuelita, and those summer trips. Of course, there was...
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and I am a part of this club no one ever wants to be a part of, and rarely talks about. Please note: if you have experienced pregnancy loss, this post...

There is a certain level of panic involved as a parent when you are used to your child/children being in school - be it full-time or part-time - as Spring Break approaches. There is suddenly an entire week of...
