Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
So, my husband and I have had this idea about being on the radio forever…since we met. He’s always wanted to be on the radio and I’ve always been determined to get my voice out there, one way or another, thus…blogging. ;) Anyway, we’ll probably being doing a podcast series together at some point [...]
Today I was reading an article on Huffington Post about men needing resources and forums about parenting and their own work/life balance. The article struck a chord with me. On one hand, it made me glad inside that a man was openly talking about needing help with his parenting and on the other hand [...]
My daughter is a nut for her daddy. She is always coming up with new names for him. First it was papi, then dad (Robots), daddy, father (after watching Bambie), daddy lion and finally, Mufasa (guess where she got that idea…lol). She claims that she is really “baby Simba” and asks us to call [...]
Ok, maybe the image above is a little on the dramatic side, but it might as well have been true! lol. It feels a little true after witnessing what my pobrecito computer has been through. Overall, I just thought it was pretty dang funny that someone set fire to their motherboard, as I’m sure [...]

Racist Note from McDonalds? Well, by now, most of us have seen this crazy TwitPic that made us all do a double-take. What!? Is McDonald’s really telling it’s employees to charge customers additional fees for being black!? Something about this image just seemed a little strange though, and while it could very well have been [...]
Hey, in case you missed the news…today is ‘Loving Day’! What the heck does that mean? Well, Loving Day is the celebration of a victory for interracial couples. You see, back in the day…not so long ago…interracial marriage was illegal. That is, until the Lovings came along. When they couldn’t legally marry in Virginia, [...]
Todos hemos sido fea (o feo) en un momento u otro. Tu sabes … un mocoso, un dolor en el trasero, totalmente desagradable o de otro modo “feo” en personalidad. Bueno, voy a dar unas disculpas a todos los que he ofendido con mi “fea-ness”… lol. Ok, vamos… Lo siento, era fea … cuando me metí en la nevera y se [...]
I’ve seen images like this on the web from time to time and I have to say, this is one of my favorite thoughts out there. So many things in life can be summed up with this one analogy. It’s not until the coin is tossed and an outcome is inevitable, that you become [...]
Racism is More Than Just Name-Calling A lot of times I find that people are confused about what racism is. ”People call me names too and I don’t whine about it.” is a common thought. So, what is the big deal? Why is racism so important? Why are we touchy about it and why does [...]
Mexican=Burritos? My 11 year old nephew called me recently and we were having a cute little convo on the phone, just shooting the breeze. He lives a few states away, so keeping in touch is nice. Something he said though, really made my heart sink. Not because I’m upset with him or disappointed in him, [...]
