Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
White Women at Blogging Conferences for Women of Color? Wow…if you haven’t heard the latest, there was a disagreement between a few bloggers about who should be able to attend blogging conferences, specifically, the question was posed about whether white bloggers should attend conferences created for bloggers of color.

Raising Bilingual Children: It’s the Little Things Not long ago we celebrated a big milestone in our home. Our daughter learned to roll her R’s. In bilingual homes this is often a big deal, because rolling r’s doesn’t come naturally to everyone and as any Spanish learner knows, it can take quite some time before [...]

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 [...]
