As a new parent I find myself always taking leaps of faith when trying something different with my baby girl. When I was asked if I would be interested in receiving a baby product and to possibly write a review about it I was definitely thrilled. When the packaged arrived I was excited to see it was a Baby Einstein product:  Wild Animal Safari Discovery Kit, which includes a DVD, CD and Discovery cards. I had heard about them beforeRead More ...

Reading plays a critical role in raising a bilingual child.  My sons and I always enjoy reading books together.  Thanks to modern technology, we are able to have a wide range of exciting and interactive reading experiences.  While traditional books have always been fun, we also enjoy stories and books on-line.

I actually feel very guilty about it, although there was nothing I could do because I was officially “working.”  I know, I love my job as a mom blogger! So, while she (not so) patiently waits for Gnomeo and Juliet to hit theaters this Friday, February 11, we’ve been trolling YouTube for some clips and jamming in theRead More ...

Regardless of your political affiliation, it’s impossible to deny that finally having an African-American become president of this nation won’t go down as one of the most significant historical events of this century. I was one of the lucky journalists to cover the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver when Barack Obama became the party’s first African-American nominee for President. I say I was lucky because I’ll never forget the feeling of hope I shared with the Latinos I wasRead More ...
