Mom-thenticity, Dirty Toilets and All

Featured Writer: Alia Hagenbach My sister-in-law, Sarah, just finished cleaning my toilets and scrubbing my tub, and then she’s going downstairs to cook dinner for my family. I don’t even want to clean my toilets, so I can only imagine how gross it is for her, who keeps an immaculate house, in spite of being busy with her three children. She also left me gorgeous flowers on my bedside table. Before you think she’s my personal slave or I’m blackmailing her, she’s the kindest soul for any ... continue reading...

Iron Sharpens Iron: My Wife, Not a Roommate

Contributing Writer: Dave Saavedra ~Iron Sharpens Iron Series~ Wives pass it on to your men! After 8 years of marriage and 4 children, I've come to realize the painful truth that I am pretty bad at being a husband!

Though I must be honest, some days a trip to the grocery store has me silently screaming out of frustration. I love all of the bright and festive colors this group of indigenous indians wear in Ecuador.  The indigenous indians here wear their traditional clothing on a daily basis with pride.  The colors of their clothing, accessories and hair style, ... continue reading...

Kid Friendly Around the World Recipe: Tortilla Bowls with Mango Chicken Salad

This month we will stop by my beloved country, Mexico, for our Kid Friendly Meal!  Even though this meal is not a traditional dish it's packed with all of our wonderful spices and ingredients, that make our dishes, mouth watering! Every time my son sees me in the kitchen making dinner and the tortillas are out he asks "Mommy are you making those yummy bowl things that I love?" When I say "Yes!", he runs out of the kitchen with excitement.  I am not exaggerating he loves this dish, it's a family ... continue reading...
