Are you a first, second, third, or beyond Latin generation parent with hopes of teaching your children Spanish?  Or perhaps you have no Latin background but think Spanish is a great language for your kids to learn.  Teaching native Spanish in an American world is a challenge, especially when taken on as a home project.  The tools available to us here in the U.S. are limiting in many ways or just unfamiliar in context.  Listen in on a valuable resource we've discovered to make this journey fun and familiar.

Have you ever wondered what work at home parents do? . . . let alone a work at home dad?  I've always been curious how they can make a living from home and why they choose to.  I was intrigued when I found out my former boss had kissed his Director of Engineering job good bye and was not turning back.  Listen in as he tells us what led him to kick Corporate America to the curb and shares details of his new fulfilling life.

This week’s podcast is dedicated to our pregnant mommies.  If you are pregnant, your body and soul are probably going through a lot of ups and downs.  Claudia knows first hand.  Since we’re all about keeping it real, we decided to take this opportunity to talk about her current experience.  We wanted to use it as an opportunity to encourage other pregnant mommies.  If you’re not pregnant, you’ll probably find this episode encouraging as well. 

As parent's we have the responsibility of young lives in our hands.  So it is normal to feel shame, guilt, blame, when our child does something wrong or hurtful towards others . . . or themselves.  Worst of all, it is possible to be caught totally off guard.  With bullying, beating, suicides, murders, and so forth going on amongst kids, one is left wondering what the adults could have done to prevent it.  Join us as we talk about children's mental health and what we can do as parents to be aware of our children's mental state.  We will share a fantastic on-line tool that can track children's mental state much like the search engines track our shopping tendencies.  

Happy New Year!!!  Hope the new year is starting out strong for you all.  We have so many goals, we don't know where to start.  One of them being potty training.  Join us as I (Marisela) talk about my fears and questions regarding potty training and veteran mom (Claudia) counsels and encourages me.  This should be a very helpful episode for any parent potty training for the first time or who hasn't done it in a while.
