Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
Confessions of a Bicultural Mom This past year has been busier than ever and I’ve felt guilty too many times about living in the Midwest and about not immersing our daughter enough into Mexican culture. It’s been hard. We’re far away from our family and friends who influence our Latino roots most and we haven’t [...]
The image above is of a beautiful tree that grew outside of my campus apartment. Hubby and I would sit under this tree for hours and chat about our future. Loss & Growth I haven’t really mentioned it here much, but this past year has been a bear. My husband lost his job in May [...]
Family Relocation & Lonely Holidays The holidays can be an emotional time in our family. Three years ago, we relocated to South Dakota from Michigan, and it’s been a lonely journey. We moved here knowing that we had no family, no friends…but we had to escape a bad economy and Michigan and our first priority [...]
My First 10 Blog Posts Ever Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about why I started this blog. What were my goals then? Are they still the same now? How can I create reachable steps to help me succeed in my goals? When I started blogging, I really just wanted to have a voice and [...]
Preschool At-Home: Getting Started As everyone else is sending their little ones back to school this past month, I’ve been getting myself ready for homeschooling mi’jita formally.

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 [...]
Swim Parks & Summer Memories When I was growing up, it was the beach. We were always there every weekend and even on the weekdays during the hottest weeks. But here in Sioux Falls, we don’t have Lake Michigan…we have water parks. Sometimes I still miss the beach. I miss picking out our spot, laying [...]
First Time Flying So, many of you may not know this, but this year I turned 30 and it was my first time ever flying in an airplane. Strange enough, the image above was not my first time flying, but my 12th flight this year and the first time that I felt comfortable enough to [...]
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. Not long ago, we celebrated Father’s Day with a grilling fest, during which my hubby actually grilled steaks three days in a row. That [...]
