I have a lot of wooden egg boxes, did you know that? My friends do and this time of year, they come looking for them for their children’s Easter Baskets.
Want some?
I am an entrepreneur who will sell you just about anything, so this year, we’re selling the boxes solo. The boxes are 6 x 5 [...]

I am reposting this video, which got all kinds of love this week on the Tiki Tiki, so that anybody who pops over here from the Spanglishbaby Blogging Carnival sees an update on the abuelito. The post I contributed to the carnival is from 2007…and not much has changed. My father continues to delight and [...]

So, the path to pro-blogging is through mucho advertising, paid blogging on somebody else’s site, becoming a consultant or the most popular among the mom bloggers, paid spokesmommying for a product or service. Of course, there’s always porn, but let’s pretend there isn’t.
How to go pro is a popular topic at blogging conferences. It’s money and [...]

Newsrooms have been sacked. Cubicles are empty. Journalists are worried. The digital age and those damned bloggers are changing the way journalists do their jobs, and the way they see their future.
For the small business owner, or the newsworthy person, these changes mean it is harder to get into the paper, magazine, or on TV. [...]

So, I was at Blissdom this weekend, and the aim was to soak up as much knowledge about the blogging, writing, social media, advertising, and blog whoring as possible.
But, in truth, I had another agenda as my prime focus.

The husband and I have been eating mostly vegetarian for several weeks now. The husband has even given up dairy. I do not believe life is worth living without goat cheese, manchego and ice cold milk.
We have felt good and we’ve lost a few pounds.
Enter, Papi from Miami…with a gigantic box filled with pastelitos de [...]

I am truly wondering why some parents would choose not to diapers their babies, and instead “intuit” when their tiny infants need to eliminate.
I have been chasing the new puppy, Buddy, around for five days now, making sure he makes it to the wee wee pads. A whole lot of intuiting going on here, and [...]

Sometime in the early ’90s, when Mexicans and other Latin Americans began to flood into Nashville, a news editor asked me this question:
“What’s this guy’s real last name?”
I told him both were the guy’s real last name.
But, the names are not hyphenated, so do we have to use both of them during second attribution?

Hey, everybody.
We’re giving away three Pollitos gift items this week. They’re posted over on the Los Pollitos Dicen Facebook Fan Page.
All you have to do to enter is answer: “What Los Pollitos Dicen means to me.” We’re talking the lullaby, but you can tell me how fabulous these tees are too.
I am using that question [...]
