Wednesday Wishes
What seems like forever ago, I dated a young man who would use the phrase “positive powers” to encourage me. He got it from a man he worked with who is a dad and would use the phrase with his kids. I’ve adopted that phrase myself and use it often because I do believe that […]
My Mom Sent My Daughter A Doll With a Penis
Because I’m on the internet all the time, I have been aware of the boy You & Me doll that has caused some people to get their chonies in a bunch because it is anatomically correct. Yes, mi gente, the boy version of the You & Me doll has an actual penis just like how […]
Riding without Training Wheels (Sundays In My City)
Last weekend was kind of a big deal. My eldest learned to ride her bike without training wheels. It’s big girl time! Her little sister rode along on her balance bike until the back wheel popped so loud it sounded like an explosion. San Francisco, CA I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share […]

LISTEN: Juan Gabriel & Juanes Singing ‘Querida’ is something you want in your ears!
The Mexican master of song and mega-icon, Juan Gabriel, is releasing an album called “Los Dúo” on February 10. I adore JuanGa, ADORE him! He’s part of the soundtrack of my youth and his voice is as familiar to me as if we were related. Now, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite Juan […]
My Toddler Would Like Everyone to Know I Have Big Chichis
You never know what is going to come out of a toddler’s mouth. My 3 year old can say some of the most beautiful poetic things to me, the sort of words that bring me to tears because I can’t believe that someone so young can formulate something so amazing, so deep and so loving. […]
