Starting the New Year With a Positive Mindset

And so 2016 is here. I can’t believe it – seriously 2015 flew by and before we know it, summer will be knocking on our doors (I will gladly open it!). To say exhaustion had taken over my body right before winter break is an understatement (can someone tell me how moms do it and […]

What It Means to be a Contributor – Writing for Spanglishbaby.com

“There are things you imagine and then things you dream.” (They are not the same though I cannot explain the difference). Things are better when you share them with others.

14 Years in the Making – Keeping Spanish Alive

Every year in July, I cannot help but feel a bit nostalgic about my niece and how much she has grown. Her birthday is at the end of the month. I still remember very clearly the day she was born and how small she was. She knows that with every happy birthday comes the known […]
