This post is brought to you by our generous sponsor, Clorox. As Moms, we often encounter messes. It comes with the territory, especially when you’re a sports mom. Funky, mud-splattered clothes, socks, and cleats are part of raising a son who loves soccer. And as much as I support him in his dreams, it’s really, [...]

In Pictures: Students Protest Gun Violence during #NationalSchoolWalkout Day Thumbnail In Pictures: Students Protest Gun Violence during #NationalSchoolWalkout Day Thumbnail

In some areas, entire schools joined in the protest, while in others only one student participated in the walkout. I personally want to applaud the students who joined the National School Walkout. Their voices and bravery are powerful [...]

This post is brought to you by our generous sponsor, Anthem Foundation.   As a child, I thought my familia/family was invincible. We enjoyed the outdoors, had weekly family gatherings and I often fell asleep watching them dancing and playing the guitar, conga, and tambourines late into the night. It was a care-free life. Yet, [...]

Winter begins on December 21. We're already feeling the chill in the mornings and blustery winds throughout the day. According to weather forecasts,  soon we'll have snow and freezing temperatures in the central and eastern states.  If you're like me, staying indoors with a caramel latte and a good movie or book, seems much more appealing than braving [...]

This post is sponsored by Alcon. My padrasto/stepfather was a wonderful man. He was also a very independent and strong man. He took pride in the fact that he could provide for his family. As he got older, he started taking a back seat to others. It was subtle. If you didn’t know him, you [...]
