I have recently become more mindful of this and when my kids tell me that a friend, song, actor, [...]
It seems that Beyoncé is not – despite contrary reports – pregnant with her second child. On Friday, May 31, the pop superstar, 31, shared a revealing snapshot of herself drinking wine with husband Jay-Z in Berlin via Tumblr. Beyoncé is seen sipping on a glass of Barolo red while sitting on her hubby’s lap — an the rapper appears to be smiling [...]
I am a Latina in her late 20s who should have eight kids by now. I’m not joking or poking fun at a stereotype when I say this. I have one child, born from my sixth pregnancy. I’ve been pregnant eight times. Eight. Those who know me think of me as a happy person. And [...]

After a wonderful Mother´s Day Breakfast and chocolate-covered farewell on Sunday, once home I confess I took a 2-hour nap to recoup. That was my gift to myself for that special day! Because this jam-packed conference and family trip is an intense, fun-filled, [...]
I am home all day with my lovely little girls who are both under two years old. Raising two under two has its perks—we’re getting all the diapering and sleepless nights out of the way all at once, but it has significant challenges that are amplified due to the strong-willed temperament and opinionated nature of [...]
