Giveaways

Life has been ultra crazy, productive, inspiring, challenging, and fulfilling lately and I owe it all to this wonderful world of mom blogging. I get to create content I love, with people who get me and share my passions (you!),  and I can be a happy, albeit a bit frazzled, mom and wife who can be an active part of her family’s life. Aside from that, I get to attend amazing blogging and social media conferences where not only IRead More ...

I am serious when I say summer is my favorite time of year. I might be slightly biased because , growing up in El Salvador, summer is really all I know.  As soon as the weather starts warming up and days get longer, I start daydreaming about the beach, the pool, the barbecues, sitting outside at my favorite café and all the outdoors has to offer.  But, now that I´m, errrr, older I have to adopt certain summer rituals toRead More ...

The American Heart Association celebrates March as the National Nutrition Month and a time to “make simple steps part of your life for long-term benefits to your health and your heart.” As you read last week in our post titled “Latinas: Our Heart Truth,” heart disease is the #1 leading cause of death among women, especially Latinas.  Today we continue to address such an important topic by sharing with you this interview with Dr. Aliza Lifshitz who offers several ofRead More ...

Last week we brought you a super popular giveaway: an Old Navy $100 shopping spree! I gave you an idea of what you could use the dough for when I shared what I was able to get for my kids as we prepare for our trip to Peru — where it’s summer — on Friday. Luckily, I was able to take advantage of the huge sale Old Navy is having on its kids and baby clothing too which means IRead More ...

As some of you might know, I’m taking my family back home to Perú in a couple of weeks. I am ecstatic. Looking forward to eating tons of ceviche and helado de lucuma while hanging out with all the people I love so dearly. My family has yet to meet my son, Santiago, and I get to spend my birthday over there — something I haven’t done since I was a child. But one of the things I’m looking forwardRead More ...

So we’ve come to the end of our trilingual adventures with Little Pim. For the last three months, I’ve been documenting my daughter’s progress learning her third language through progress report posts and vlogs featuring Skype consultations with Little Pim’s founder, Julia Pimsleur Levine. It has been a grand journey and I couldn’t be happier that we got started with Little Pim’s products because they’ve really made it fun and easy to do. If you’ve been following this journey, youRead More ...

Any child who’s ever had a pet can relate to how difficult it can be to give it the ‘right’ name. My daughter, Vanessa, has only had the chance to name a couple of fish; and she’s still so young that she interchanges a few names, depending on her mood. So, some days the red fish is called ‘pescadito‘ and other days it’s ‘Abcb’. I don’t know if she’ll ever get to name a pet dog, though, since we alreadyRead More ...
