Having just given birth to mi milagro, the importance of preserving my culture has been heavy on my mind. In addition, being the only Spanish speaking caretaker in our children’s lives presents its own set of challenges. Language is truly the most impactful way I celebrate and embrace my heritage with my children. For that reason, I am always on the look out for supportive and informed communities in which to engage with other like-minded parents. In celebrating our heritage, a parent can never have too many allies!
A new and exciting community was just launched by Pampers, Mi milagro. Nuestra herencia., providing Hispanic parents with a forum to connect and discuss all the wonderful ways that we celebrate our heritage with our children. Through the online initiative, parents connect with the Pampers Latino community to share baby care tips, cultural traditions or simply experiences from their own Latino childhood.
In order to get us excited about celebrating our culture and heritage, Pampers is giving away a cultural prize pack to one of our lucky SpanglishBaby readers. In the prize pack, you’ll find many ways a parent can express the love of our heritage with their children from classic baby books to traditional Spanish lullabies, and even a Latin American cook book.
We loved our cultural prize pack! Of all the fun items it was packed with, Alina loved the Spanish language books the best. Alina’s bedtime routine has always consisted of reading bedtime stories, so when our Pampers cultural prize pack included two Spanish language books in which Alina was very familiar with in English, she was ecstatic! Celebrating our culture and heritage through literature, and the ability to translate that into any language, is a valued opportunity.

Mis milagros son Adela y Marisol, mis ninas. I knew we were doing something right with language when one of Adela’s first words in a totally English-speaking community was Sucio! She refuses to use the english word, and prefers to use Spanish. Victory for us!

Mis milagros son mi hijo y hijita porque confian en mi y me enseñan nuevas cosas cada día. Ella nunca dice “thank you” because she prefers “gracias”. He likes to tell me he wants “leche de chocolate”.
Mi milagro es mi hijo de 2 años, que habla un perfecto spanglish, juega con sus “carcitos”, pide “more leche” y me hace reir todo el dia!

Our Milagro is our beautiful daughter and our Herencia to her is to offer support and encouragement to be creative, innovative, and to always try her best.
Mis milagros son mis dos nenas. I love them to death and wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything in the world. I try to encourage them to be the best they can be. I love my little tots son mi mundo.
