It’s hosted by two beautiful mamás: famous Mexican read more ...

By day, I’m your typical acculturated 30-something. A die-hard fan of “Sex and the City” who goes goo goo gaga for Tiffany´s & Co., and savors a daily dose of vanilla latte. In many ways – pura gringa.
At night, I go to a multi-generational home – one that hasn’t changed much since I was born. read more ...
When I meet new people, I often try to slip into the conversation that I’m Mexican-American. You can’t tell by looking at me (I’m the whitey-whitest in a family of fairly white Mexicans) and you can’t tell by talking with me because my Spanish is terrible.

Several weeks ago I was invited to visit the set of the PBS series Los Niños en su Casa which is produced in Los Angeles (actually five minutes from my house!). As a blogger you get invitations to events that are not always relevant to what you write about. You attend most because it’s a read more ...
This CD just puts me in a good mood. It makes me want to sing-a-long, if only my daughter would let me, and to relax with a tall bubbly drink. Oh, yes, it’s also totally entertaining for your bilingual or Spanish-learning child as well. Thomas, AKA the Spanglish Wrangler, knows his music. The birth of read more ...
