Oh what a difference 24 hours makes! El martes hizo calor (lo cual es raro para Denver a finales de octubre). Hoy miércoles nos levantamos a esto. Pienso tomar otra foto mañana que saldrá el sol y la nieve desaparecerá tal cual llegó. Prometo compartirla. ...
Vanessa, el nombre de mi hija, significa mariposa. No wonder she loves them so much. El domingo fuimos al Butterfly Pavillion, un lugar maravilloso donde tienen miles de mariposas sueltas de todos los tamaños y colores volando por todas partes.

I was lucky enough to be in Miami two weekends ago and I went twice to what has become my favorite Peruvian restaurant: Ceviche 105 in downtown Miami. Do you know what these are? ...
I was in San Diego recently and I crossed the border into Tijuana so the friends I was staying with could go shopping at Walmart. It was Mexican candy heaven! I spent two years in Mexico as a child and I got hooked on many of the candies sold there at the time. ¿Has probado los Bubu Lubus? ...

We are two Latina moms – best friends since college – who are extremely passionate about ensuring our children not only speak both our languages, English and Español, but that they also grow up proud of both their cultures, Latino and American.
