The Truth (Fragmented Fridays)

by Claudya Martinez June 29, 2012
The-Truth-Is-The-Truth

This week my travels through the internet have me pondering the truth. What is the truth? Can there be more than one truth? How often are we wrong about what we consider to be the truth? I’m not sure I know what “THE” truth is, but I do know this… What are your thoughts on [...]

BRITAX Baby Wearing Option @SafeConBritax

Britax Baby Carrier

I’m a baby-wearing mami. I can’t say that I started off with the intention of being a baby-wearing parent. To be honest, I was brought up with this whole idea that you weren’t supposed to embrazilar babies. Embrazilar is this concept that if you hold a baby too much, they will get addicted to it [...]

Photos by Children

Photos by Children

I love looking at photos taken by children. Sometimes as adults we forget about a child’s unique perspective on the world. They are smaller than we are, they see things from a different vantage point, things that may no longer be of interest to us are still fascinating to them. My 3 year-old, Put Pie, [...]

Feeling Blue

Feeling Blue

My friends, I’m feeling BLUE. Not light and airy like a clear blue sky, but heavy and dark. I’m not feeling this way for any particular reason, I’m just prone to the blues. I’ve been fighting the azures for a few days now and today they won. I find myself prone to tears, far too [...]

Finding Balance (Fragmented Fridays)

by Claudya Martinez June 22, 2012
Finding balance

Finding balance in blogging has taken me a very long time. Blogging has brought so many wonderful things into my life (yourself included). I feel blessed. It does however, take up quite a bit of my time. You can imagine that as a mother of a 3 year-old and a 1 year-old, I don’t have [...]

The Glass is Half-Full #Positivismo

The-Glass-is-Half-Full

“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry” and “Hombre propone, Dios Dispone” are both sayings that illustrate that no matter how much planning goes into something, things may not turn out as you expect. So what is a person supposed to do when things don’t go according to plan? Do you [...]

A Mother Story

A Mother Story

My mother keeps going in and out of retirement. Truly, I can’t keep up. She was a cosmetologist for decades and then her body just wouldn’t have it anymore, so she retired. But my mother is used to the hussle. She’s not the kind of woman to stay home and work on her projects. Oh [...]
