Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
Diagnosing Dyslexia at Age 33 Dyslexia can be a fatal affliction. Part of the problem is that it often goes undiagnosed until adulthood. Because of this, many who suffer from it are left inexplicably wounded by the criticism and abuse that they take throughout their lifetime because they believe that these symptoms are their fault.

My Husband & Latino Celebrities As long as I’ve been with my husband, I’ve heard comments about how he “looks so much like” some Latino celebrity. When he starts cracking jokes, the comparisons are narrowed a bit. Then he only “looks like” every Latino comedian they’ve watched. Yes, he’s even been compared to Gabriel Iglesias [...]
Image: Flickr / Old Shoe Woman I’m not apposed to white people. Really, I’m not. Some may think I’m out to get whites or that I’m a self-hater because I call white people out time and again…because I married a Latino…because I speak Spanish…because I prefer non-white friends or those in interracial couples, [...]
How we met… I was working at a local amusement park for my second summer in a row when I met my husband. Like usual, I was making my rounds, taking surveys of local guests, in order to find out what they did or didn’t like about the park. I always saw lots of thirsty [...]
© BiculturalMom.com I struggled a lot in writing this post. Not because it was difficult really, but because this is my husband’s story and it’s one that I don’t take lightly. I really wanted to do justice to the challenges that he’s faced, and ones that we are now facing as a family. I know [...]
Image Credit: Flickr / themaccraic-david Yesterday, I was listening to Michelle’s podcast for Is That Your Child? and she brought up a really interesting topic. A little debate spurred up, or I could say that it was more of a discussion about why or why not certain costumes could be construed as offensive and/or racist. [...]
Image Credit: Flickr / themaccraic-david My husband and I had an interesting conversation about difficulties in our relationship as an interracial couple, the challenges that he’s faced with job discrimination and education. I really enjoy doing these podcasts with hubby and it’s been a while since I’ve posted one, but we’ve still been recording them [...]
[image source] Ricardo and I are having a lot of fun recording these mock “podcasts” together and in this episode we’ve even cracked ourselves up a few times! We start out our chat talking about a recent article from Born Bicultural USA that examines the mamá sagrada and mamá complicada relationships within the familia latina. [...]
[image source] So, my husband, Ricardo, has always wanted to do a radio show and we figured that we would feel things out, see how it goes and test our chops to see if we have what it takes to podcast. This is our first practice session, which we recorded last week and there will [...]
Seeking ‘Perfection’ Often times, we find ourselves imagining the perfect kiss, the perfect date or the perfect relationship. We make all the plans in our minds, prep ourselves to receive them, but often these dream scenarios never come to life and we are left feeling disappointed and wondering what went wrong. Why? Because romance, [...]
Being the parent of a bilingual child isn’t always easy…especially when you’re not fluent. I’ve been teaching my daughter Spanish since birth…a few words here and there, never speaking in full conversations because I have absolutely no idea what a fluent Spanish speaking mother would say to her child. I wish I was that lucky! [...]
