Why Roblox Feels Dangerous

Why Roblox Feels Dangerous Inaproppriate Content Let’s start with the obvious: Roblox is marketed as kid-friendly, but it’s anything but in many corners. Even with the company’s moderation efforts, explicit and violent games are still accessible to kids. I read stories of children stumbling into spaces that no parent would knowingly allow them to enter. […]

“the talks”

As a Latina, single mama of three chicas, I’m quickly learning that addressing topics related to sexuality is a journey, not “a” conversation. It’s one filled with sensitivity, intention and, to be honest, lots of fear. Each of my girls, with their unique personalities and in varying developmental stages, has required a different approach to […]

it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Two children hugging and smiling

You know how the holiday season can illicit an array of emotions… on one hand, happiness and good cheer and, on the other, stress and nostalgia… welcome to my world for the past few weeks.

In the last few days, my social media feed has been inundated with a great number of motivational statements to kick off the new year.

mami meet entrepreneur

Aaaaaand we’re back! I cannot believe it has been a bit over a year since my last post. I think I owe you a major catch up… So, remember our move to BK? We made the move primarily so that my sister and I could launch an at-home, Spanish bilingual program for toddlers, which we […]

bittersweet birthday blues

Two years ago today, I became a mother and my world was forever changed. While time and time again, I heard people say that parenthood changes everything, it isn’t until you experience this yourself that you truly understand the meaning of it all. I am not talking about accommodating schedules, adjusting to sleep deprivation, and […]
