Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
On Vivid Dreams & Harsh Realities Sometimes, I love to just sit and think about all the ways that my baby girl is just like me. She’s tough, she’s independent, she’s strong and always analyzing her world…figuring out the best way to come at a problem. I love that about her. ♥ One thing I [...]
It’s been a while… Since my last few posts here on Bicultural Mom, I’ve been working on lots of special projects and taking some much needed quality time with my family.

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.
