“Simplemente Nasty!” (Patrisia's Blog)

Hey my fellow Solas! I come to you in simple disbelief of how some women simply don’t value or have self-respect for their bodies. In the situation I’m about to explain, I blame both the girl and a family member of mine. Years ago, she used to be my brother’s girlfriend. They ended up on bad terms (to the point where she feared for her life) and my brother was sent to prison for six months. En esos 6 meses como … Read more →

I am at such a crossroads: I have a sister who lives in the same city as me, like 15 minutes away. The guy she’s with (they are broken up but still live together) is a loser who can’t get a real job; he works at a roofing company but it’s all “under the table.” To make matters worse, they have a one-year-old daughter in all the mess that’s going on. They recently lost a nice apartment that had 3 bedrooms, … Read more →

Hola. I’m 16-years-old and I have a 8-year-old brother. We live by ourselves with our mother. Our father has never been around in either of our lives. We used to live with my mother’s oldest brother Jesus, who helped my mom raise my brother and me. Without him we truly would have had nothing. Well, he recently passed away from cancer on January 28th, 2011…a week after my birthday. Long story short, he was the father figure in my life. I … Read more →

Parenting My Way (Crystal R’s Blog)

I have a lot on my mind today. I’ve been upset with my sister because I’ve texted her, called her, left messages for her on Facebook along with my daughter, and no response for 2 weeks – but yet she can message complete strangers. I was hurt by the situation and said something to her about it. So in response my sister’s husband sent me a txt (not a call because that would take guts that he don’t have.) So anyway, … Read more →

Parenting My Way (Crystal R’s Blog)

“Family In The Military” My baby sister, who is only 20 years old and newly married, just finished her training for the United States Army. I am so proud of her – she is doing something great with herself, not to mention she is fighting for our freedom. But although I am proud, I am also so scared. I know she HAS to go overseas and I just pray it’s to somewhere that doesn’t have any major fighting (like Afghanistan). We … 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 →

QUESTION: I’m in a situation and need some advice. My sister has been living with me for the last two years helping with my kids. I finally met a great man who has 5 kids. They now live with me and my 2 girls. Well, when they moved in my sister’s attitude changed. She picks fights with my boyfriend, argues with his kids and me, and doesn’t let me discipline my children. Now my oldest one yells at me and talks back and then … Read more →

Parenting My Way (Crystal R’s Blog)

Today my baby sister who I’m so close to we’re like twins calls me because she is leaving for the Army. I cried a little when we got off the phone. I know she is doing what’s best for her but I am so scared that they will send her across seas and even though she is medical she can still get hurt. Plus I feel as though I’m losing my best friend. It takes a life time for people to … Read more →

Everyday Family (Victoria’s Blog #3)

Man I had one of those off days. Parents fighting always ruins a day. Sometimes I just wish I could give them some of my maturity. Seeing them fight over the things that they do makes me think what in the world are you thinking? My friends always tell me that I seem so childish but if they saw what I go through they would think again.I know everything you go through makes you stronger but sometimes I wish that I … Read more →

Everyday Family (Victoria’s Blog #2)

Hello SoLa’s! Hope you have a good fin de semana! Something sad and heartwarming happened to me the other day. A few days ago my sister got a weird bug bite. So my parents took her in and she had tests done and they gave her medication. She also has to soak her bug bite for half an hour in water with a little bit of salt 4 times a day. Well she woke up early one day and was in … Read more →
