Optimized-52200_451900003150_672813150_5228520_8175232_o1

Mom of the Month: Angela Noe Nominated By: Angelica Almanza In Angelica’s words: “My mom sacrificed the comfort of her own home, her husband and caring for my youngest brother during his senior year to be by my side. I was in a bad car accident 3 years ago that left me unable to care for myself for over 18 months. She not only lovingly cared for me (34-years-old) when I couldn’t, she cared for my 3-month-old son, 12-year-old daughter and … Read more →

“I Am Just A MOM” (Sara's Blog)

“I Am Just A MOM” (Sara's Blog)

It is very easy to project being an extraordinary mother, a good mother, a great mother and an even so-so mother. It is also very easy to show off Mother’s Day gifts and pose for pretty pictures with your kids. It’s even easier to hit the send button and post all those great images caught while you’re being a “mom”. As a single mother to my oldest daughter for the last 15 years, I have learned to cherish every minute with … Read more →

“ELO & SLO – 1/6/12” (Sara's Blog)

Optimized-Sara_7

In just one week’s time, one of my best friends will marry my cousin, who is like a brother to me. Words can’t explain how happy I am for them and how great it feels to know that I somehow brought them together. I may not have been blessed with sisters or a ton of friends, but I have been blessed with a small number of GREAT friends, who have made it through roller coaster rides, stupid spats, catty fights, tears, … Read more →

"Fairy Tale Love…Bliss After Hell" (Lupe's Blog)

"Fairy Tale Love…Bliss After Hell" (Lupe's Blog)

As I stand there in the bridal boutique watching my very best friend try on dress after dress, I come to the realization that she is finally getting the real thing. She has met a man that not only treats her like a queen but loves her daughters, as well. I am quiet and in awe as I look at her face and see how truly happy she is…and I wonder: Will I ever feel happiness like that? I have seen … Read more →

“He Says He Cares For His Daughter’s Mother, But I’m The One He Loves”

Okay, here it goes…please be kind! I’ve been dating this guy (he’s 28, I’m 25) for almost 10 months. It’s been going relatively well. We really connect, have a wonderful sex life and many similar interests. He’s a very good person: honest, wonderful father to his daughter, very good to my son (who’s autistic), and makes time for me which says a lot, because he’s a single father and going through a separation. Lately, a lot of my girlfriends have been … Read more →

"It's A Holiday, Not The End Of The World!" (Nancy's Blog)

Optimized-black-friday-lines

I was prepared to write a rhetorical rant about the commercialism of Thanksgiving, and how Black Friday “doorbusters” have eclipsed the importance of being with friends and family. After all, it seems you can barely shovel in a slice (or two or three) of pie before it’s time to hit the road like a superstore SWAT team, scoping out the shortest lines and best bargains. And then of course there are the “Thanksgiving unfairly celebrates the imperialistic decimation of Native peoples … Read more →

"True Love?" (Patrisia's Blog)

Patrisia_BLOG-PIC_200x200

I have a question: Dicen Que El Amor Solo Llega Una Vez En La Vida. Do you guys think this is true? I myself totally do. I have dated guys and felt love for some, but my “true love” I let go of when I was 17. This guy and I dated when we were just teenagers, but man, I have not been able to fall in love again the way that I was with this guy. I had my 2 … Read more →

“Change in Love” (A FB Guest Blog From Olivia)

Olivia_200x200

I remember when I was growing up, all I wanted was to have a family of my own. Get, married, have kids, take care of my home, you know, that sort of thing. I was fortunate enough to have parents who loved and respected each other and always took each other into consideration. I loved how affectionate and silly they were towards one another and didn’t hide it from us. What I didn’t see were all the years of hard work … Read more →

“Loving Your Child More Than You Hate His Father”

Deborah_200x200

I’m an avid SoLatina fan lol. I respond and comment to most posts and like to read others’ views and comments. However, some of the SoLatina mothers don’t appear to have integrity as a parent and I wrote the below to shed some insight on how us mothers can become even better parents by loving our children and always putting them first. I am a mother of one, a handsome and smart 7-year-old son who means absolutely everything to me. I … Read more →

“Teen Mom Shock” (Cuni's Commentary)

Blog_16-Pic

I read a Facebook post the other day and it just shattered my heart into a million pieces, and I don’t even KNOW this person. She’s a friend I met on Facebook. She’s a new mom and she’s young, only 17-years-old. She just had a baby a week ago. She was sad because her entire world was just turned upside down and she really wanted things to be how they were before. She was sad because people were judging her and … Read more →
