It was also the first time Andrew recalls seeing his Abuelo/grandfather.

Karl celebrated the little things, like being the tallest in the group. I’m letting him savor the moment since I think pretty soon Andrew will surpass him.

Speak up. Speak loud. SPEAK. #TrayvonMartin

  This makes me sadder than words can ever describe. As the Mother of two Latino sons of color, I fear for them. I worry whenever they go out, when they have to ride the train/bus, or travel alone. My heart goes out to Trayvon’s mother, his family and OURS …  all of ours. May we [...]

Single Parenting and “The Talk”

Is your penis awake before you are? This was one of the questions my tween’s teacher discussed during a group advisory at my son’s all boys school. He said it was the weirdest talk he ever had. He couldn’t believe the word “penis” was coming out of his teacher’s mouth. I, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised. I had [...]

Teen Flirtation

My teen and I were recently talking about a girl he likes. He said she was smart, a leader and very pretty. In fact, he said she’s so intellectual he knows he’s going to have to connect with her mind before she will even notice him. He claimed he was going to have to step [...]

My Teen Was Awarded a 4 Year Scholarship to Wheaton College in Massachusetts!

I’ve made many mistakes in my life. Some, I wish I could take back. Yet two changed my life forever and gave me my biggest blessings, my sons. Today, I will not focus on those errors, or even who I selected as the fathers. Today, I will forget the former things; I will not dwell [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Because Sometimes You Need A Contract

Because sometimes you need a contract…even at home! After drawing up the below contract for my 10 year old tween, he asked for an attorney. Brave considering I was irate but I took a breath and explained this was a small claims court case, so no attorney was needed (Every moment is a teaching moment [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Marker War

Below is what happens when you leave a teen and a tween to their own devices while you run out and enjoy a latte. I left them playing a board game and returned towards the end of a marker battle! Thankfully, the markers used were Crayola’s Washable Markers. Can you imagine if they had to [...]

Just the Reason I Want My Son to Be Remembered…NOT!

My ten year old recently connected with a young girl from his Pre-K class.  She calls him constantly because she has a crush on him. He enjoys the attention and so picks up every single call. One day while talking to Andrew, she tells him she found another one of their Pre-K friends. She said he [...]

iCraig 2.1 Channel Tower Speaker Review

I recently attended a CVS event, where one of my parting gifts,was the iCraig 2.1 Channel Tower Speaker. I was esctatic! My teen’s birthday was right around the corner and being a Techie I knew he would love it! When the box arrived, he immediately wanted to open it. At that point he didn’t know what [...]
