If there’s a stereotype that I absolutely despise is the over-sexualization of Latinas. Ironically enough, a lot of the time, it is the people in our own community who perpetuate this backward thinking. How is it that a community engulfed in thoughts of sex is so against speaking about sex education? Oh, that’s right: Because it would give women the… View Post
Certain topics such as sex education are still taboo in our homes. Many parents prefer to let teachers deal with it at school, while it is in the family where it all needs to start. Sex education should not be a topic poorly addressed. In fact, it is as important to talk about sex education naturally as it is to… View Post
It often seems like we have a thousand things to do during the holiday season. Between work, visiting our families, and buying Christmas presents, the days go by so fast. But with the current pandemic situation, we will have more time to be at home and take a break which creates the perfect opportunity to catch up on all the… View Post
Black Friday is finally here. The most anticipated sales season and the perfect opportunity to treat ourselves and buy all the holiday gifts while saving some money.

Motherhood is a unique experience for every woman. Among new feelings and sensations, it is also full of complications. However, when it comes to balancing motherhood with our sexuality, mothers tend to sacrifice our intimacy for the needs of our children. Worse, if we don’t fit into the traditional heterosexual mother stereotype, we expose ourselves to stigmatization and rejection. Assuming… View Post
Latina moms are often referred to as “supermoms. We are on top of everything, we know everyone’s schedule, and we run a career, a business, and a family all at the same time. It’s a configuration we have inherited from our mothers, grandmothers, and ancestors, and it makes us increasingly rigid when it comes to asking for help or learning… View Post
Being a mother is not easy. We often focus on our children and make them our only priority. We devote most of our time to their schedules, health, studies, fun, and well-being. However, at the end of the day, we always have the feeling of having wasted time, in one way or another. We forget about ourselves, our priorities, and… View Post
Back in the day, I used to entertain myself by coloring, playing with dirt, and blowing air into a fan. And, of course, by using a lot of imagination. However, times have changed, causing our children to miss out on things that made us happy when we were younger. There’s no denying that technology rules most of our activities nowadays,… View Post
School is back in session and we all know that trying to keep it together those first few weeks may feel like una locura. However, not to toot my own horn here, but I think I may be getting good at keeping it together during this anxiety-inducing season.

Most traditionalists think that a family is made up of a mom, a dad, and children. But Latino families know that structures are much more malleable and that being a single mother often involves incorporating other family members in key roles for our children and us. Although some believe that single mothers have to play “mother and father,” in reality,… View Post
The end of summer is approaching, and we must get ready to get back to the routine. Our children start a new school year, and we must get back on track. It’s time to renew their wardrobe, buy school supplies, and get everything they need to come back refreshed. And if it is renovation we are looking for, why not… View Post
The moon is the closest celestial body to our planet. For this reason, it has been studied for centuries, demonstrating its connection and influence on water, tides, plants, and also on us, humans. Just as the moon’s energy varies according to its phases, so does its influence on us, provoking sensations, new emotions, and even desires. Since the most ancient… View Post
Organizing our homes can seem like a tedious task if you don’t master the art of releasing stress while giving coherence to your space. Especially when we have kids, pets, a partner, and a job, organizing our home is a task we often leave to the last minute. Now that summer is over, our children are back to school, and… View Post
Waking up to the kids and all of the tasks that come with maintaining a safe and healthy environment can be mentally taxing. Sure, the amount of love it takes to perform activities that will bring joy to the immediate family is more satisfying than anything. But sometimes it feels like todo es demasiado, even if love is greater than… View Post
The first day of school is really important for our children; it marks the beginning of a new stage, an opportunity from scratch to make new friends, learn new things and create lifelong memories. However, the first day of school is also an emblematic moment for us as parents, where we immortalize the image of each of the stages of… View Post
Latina moms are known for juggling countless tasks and often without even asking for help. Somehow, we think we are superwoman (and we are in many cases!), but we have to take a few steps sometimes for the sake of our mental health. One of the best times to take a moment for ourselves is during the back-to-school season. Back-to-school… View Post
Back-to-school season is stressful on its own, but there is added stress when you’re dealing with it on your own as a single mom. Now, hear me out, a single mother is as powerful and capable as any mother, pero it can be a bit overwhelming from time to time — and that’s totally fine! Now, as we mentioned, back-to-school… View Post
The back-to-school season is here, and you know what that means — our children’s outfits need to be on point for their first day of school! Okay, okay. Let’s not pretend you haven’t had this thought before! Of course, I know what matters the most is that they feel safe and that their grades are not slipping, pero we can… View Post
Life is filled with many difficult moments, and each of these moments challenges you to find a solution. However, it doesn’t take away from the fact that some situations are more intense than others. For example, how does one deal with a friend suffering from domestic violence? Is there even a right way to help? Well, these were just a… View Post
Lights, jingles, and countless blog posts about the best Thanksgiving recipes are all signs that the holidays are rapidly approaching. Many start feeling the spirit of the holiday season and happily begin to plan fun-filled activities for the end of the year festivities. However, some of us are plagued with thoughts and preoccupations about interacting with our families. Latino families… View Post

Finding out you’re pregnant comes with a rush of emotions. At least, that was my experience. For one, I sat down and thought about my choices, made sure I was mentally prepared to raise a happy child, and that I was set up to provide a loving home. Once that was settled, all the rest of the worries started inundating… View Post
Tolerance starts at home in the way you talk to your children and the respect you show for the people close to you when you speak. However, not only parents are role models at home. Sometimes our siblings teach us basic lessons about life. Children’s minds work like a sponge, and they absorb all the knowledge and behaviors, whether good… View Post
Gone are the days when my home was always filled with about five busy schedules to tend to. Those were the years where the 24 hours in the day did not seem like enough. Between packing lunches, listening to the new chisme one of my three daughters wanted to share with me, and having to work all at the same… View Post
I remember when my partner and I filed for divorce. I felt like I had failed, but worst of all, I felt like we had failed our son — fue un dolor inmenso. Though I tried my best to give my son the opportunity to grow up in a loving home where his parents were together, it didn’t pan out… View Post
