We are finding different ways of living in harmony. Our mismatched love languages, how we express and give love, are often at odds. Learning these differences is teaching us how to navigate life during a global pandemic.

These Sneakers Are Made for Walking and Walking and Walking (and Playing) Thumbnail These Sneakers Are Made for Walking and Walking and Walking (and Playing) Thumbnail

I love my stilettos but there are just days when all my feet crave are a great pair of sneakers. Sneakers to walk in and to play in. Sneakers that will look just as good at brunch as they would at the office, and even at the sports bar. My sneakers, like my stilettos, get [...]

Confession: This Latina On a Mission Is Learning to Put Herself First And Is Dating Again! Thumbnail Confession: This Latina On a Mission Is Learning to Put Herself First And Is Dating Again! Thumbnail

Over the past few years, I've been utterly focused on caring for my family, pushing my own needs and wants to the side. I realized just how much when I recently saw a photo of myself.  There I was unaware that the picture was being taken. I wasn't dressed up. I wasn't posing. I wasn't smiling.  It showed [...]

I'm just not the same Latinalicious lady when my feet are unhappy. Thankfully, ugly sneakers have been on trend for a while, because it's an ugly trend that works. Tracee [...]

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

Editor's note: During the National School Walkout, schools decided how, and if, students were able to protest without ramifications. 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.

Every First Was Also a Last #Blogust Thumbnail Every First Was Also a Last #Blogust Thumbnail

  His first smile. His first "Mama". His first walk. I treasured those milestones because I knew that his firsts were also my last.   I never expected to be a young Mom.  It wasn't on my radar ... But life never hands us what we want, it delivers what we need.   I needed [...]

Scooby Doo, Where Are You?! Watch Shaggy and the Gang Stop Short Videos #AD Scooby Doo, Where Are You?! Watch Shaggy and the Gang Stop Short Videos #AD

Growing up I loved Saturdays! We didn't have a network that played non-stop cartoons, so we cherished our Saturday morning cartoons.  We were so old school, our television didn't come with a remote - the horror!
