Hi Chicas! Sorry it took me so long to write a blog. I’ve just been so busy with life and work. But anyways, I’m back :) Lately I’ve been trying to find a new place to move into with my hubby and my son but we just can’t find an apartment. Right now we live with my parents. When we first moved in with them last year I was pregnant. I thought it would help us a lot while we got … Read more →

I know that by the time this blog is posted, Father’s Day will have passed already but I still wanted to write this. As you guys may remember, I wrote a blog a couple of months ago (“No Communication”) where I mentioned that ever since my mom started working and making her own money, everything about my dad started to bug her! She’d sometimes tell me, “I wish he would just leave back to Mexico!” My sisters and I … Read more →

Hey SoLas! I know it’s been awhile. Things have just been so up and down lately… So I was reading an article that really got me thinking: how many of you are afraid of becoming your parents? Personally it’s been one of my biggest fears, though not as bad as it used to be. I know who I am now. But, for a really long time I didn’t. I worried because “becoming your parents” is usually part of a cycle. You … Read more →

Hey my Solas. It’s a pleasure to be with you guys once again… Well here I am, sitting in the parking lot of a coffee shop, feeling super sleepy. As you guys know I recently moved into a gorgeous house with a huge yard, and all has been going really well. There’s just one problem that clouds my mind, makes my heart hurt…an issue I really don’t understand. See, my parents have been married for over 40 years. I’ve been told that … Read more →

My life has been an obstacle of roller coasters since I was five-years-old. I say that because it was the age that I started getting molested by a man who, at that time, I knew as daddy. It went on for many years until I was 13-years-old. He was very abusive towards my mom and brothers. I feared more for them than for me during those years, although I knew he was not my biological father. Every morning I woke up … Read more →

“Life Is Not Easy…But It’s Worth Livin’” (Crystal M’s Blog)

It’s about to be 3 in the morning and I can’t sleep. So I decided I’d let a few things out in this blog. I’m 25 and on October 2nd 2010 I lost my mother. She was my heart, my soul, my reason for striving to be better at everything. But now I find myself lost, angry, frustrated, bitter, but most of all confused. Confused because I never imagined losing her so soon, I mean, I know we all have to … Read more →

Diary Of A Young Latina Mom (Lupe’s Blog #6)

What’s up, Mamis? I have been away from this blogging thing for a while but here we go again. Do you ever do something that you think is nice, only to be crucified later? My life constantly falls apart and then gets put back together again. It’s weird but it happens. So I bought a house and got the keys on December 28th — good, huh? No. Here’s the story: After the last time my life fell apart in September, I … Read more →

“Letting Go…..” (Meri’s Blog)

Raising a child in someone else’s home has to be one of the most difficult things that I have ever done in my life. I must have weighed my options over a million times before I decided to make that step. It wasn’t easy but sometimes in order to take one step forward you have to take three steps back. I was standing in the middle of my empty apartment staring at the empty walls where precious still images once hung. … Read more →

An Inspired Latina (Saretha’s Blog #9)

“The father who would taste the essence of his fatherhood must turn back from the plane of his experience, take with him the fruits of his journey and begin again beside his child, marching step by step over the same old road.” ~Angelo Patri~ Last night I had a dream with my daddy so this morning I gave him a shout out on facebook. Let me explain…my biological father was an abusive alcoholic so when my mother found the … Read more →

Parenting My Way (Crystal R’s Blog)

“DESPICABLE!” So here’s what’s got me so freakin’ heated. My parents sent my kids birthday cards with a gift card inside each of them. Well my boyfriend’s mother got a hold of them and spent the money on the cards!! My mom sent me all the proof of where they were spent and how much are on them. After my mom calls me with this information I called his mother and she actually had the nerve to deny it, even when … Read more →
