"If you don’t have rupture at home during this pandemic, you’re not with them".
These words really touched my soul when I heard them from Meghan Leahy, a parenting coach, and columnist for the Washington Post, who’s also the author of several books on the same subject.
Read MorePoor sneezes, I feel bad for them. From being a simple natural reflection of the body to things as common as dust, pollen, or the beginning of a common cold, this 2020 they have become a deadly threat that receives public shaming out there.
Read MoreThe skin is the largest organ in the body. I think the first time I heard this statement was in biology class in high school, despite that, I never really paid attention to it, nor did I give it the importance it needed.
Read MoreYou have no idea how many times I’ve heard my kids complain about a headache. I don’t know if this happens to other moms out there reading this post, but in my household, these types of complaints always occur one minute before we need to rush out the door. Those grumbles usually happen when we are late to soccer practice, to an orthodontist appointment, or when we are in a hurry to go somewhere, which is practically every single day of our hectic lives.

Read MoreMy dining room is now a classroom. My phone screen transports me to fitness studios and ballet classes. My family gatherings now happen on my laptop. My kitchen has transformed into an industrial dining room where customers eat all day.

Read MoreI really miss those days when the guilty pleasure of snooping social events only happened once a week during breakfast, while reading the section of the Sunday newspaper. Now, thanks to the invention of social media (although I have to admit that it’s very useful for many things) that snooping has become a daily, addictive and constant activity in our lives. Events, celebrations, promotions, first days of school, trips, news, and a good article here and there, swarm in my cell phone practically all day.
Read MoreToday exactly one year ago, Houston lived one of the largest natural disasters in the history of the city and even of the whole country and. It’s been 365 days of tireless struggle for thousands of people who still fail to recover. We all have a story to tell, many of them accompanied by tears. However, today we realize that we are stronger than we thought, and that we are a city much more united than we imagined.
Read MoreI'm strong but many times weak. I'm a warrior, but sometimes I need for my prince to come rescue me on his galloping horse with his unsheathed sword. I have patience, but sometimes I lose it, and it takes me just a couple of days to find it again.
