Holy caca, gente! Normally I start The Flying Chancla Report with “hola Chulas y Chulos,” but this week I have got to start with “holy caca” because this week has been a caca storm. Mierda has really hit the fan. The elections have shown us just how divided we are as a country and I don’t […]
A Family That Votes Together Hopes Together
My chest is aching as I write this. Aching from the tension and anxiety that I feel about the election. It’s November 8 and finally this nightmare before Thanksgiving will come to an end, but who knows what we’re in for afterward. I care VERY much about this election, but I haven’t voted yet. Why? […]
My Multicultural Love Story
Thank you to Jarritos and Dime Media for sponsoring this post and encouraging me to share why I think that we are #BetterTogether I want to tell you about my multicultural love story that started WAY before my husband and I were even born.

Discovery Day (Sundays In My City)

Arata Pumpkin Farm (Sundays In My City)
Arata Farm, San Mateo’s oldest working pumpkin farm, is about an hour away from our home in San Francisco. The farm has been growing pumpkins since 1932. I was checking out their website and found out that it all came about because in the 1930s brothers John and Clarence Arata planted pumpkin seeds to feed […]

Planting Carrots in Our Backyard (Sundays In My City)
My 8-year-old daughter planted carrot seeds in our backyard all by herself while her father, who is a gardener, observed. In about 70 to 80 day, we’ll have homegrown carrots. I love that she knows she can grow her own food and has been doing it since she was young enough to walk. San Francisco, CA […]
