*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Dime Media and Coca-Cola. However, all opinions expressed are my own. I can still remember all of the educational goals and dreams that I started mapping out for bot of my sons from as early as when they were in my womb. Education is a central focus among Latino families with so many planning for their child to be the first to attend college in the United States. This summer Coca-Cola and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund teamed up to make a difference and help more families achieve their education goals. The #ForTheDream program is helping Latino families and students prepare, plan and pay for their college education, and raising awareness of the college resources available to them. Through this summer’s #ForTheDream movement Coca-Cola will donate $1 for every social post up to $10,000 to the Hispanic Scholarship! To add to the excitement Coca-Cola is also hosting the #ForTheDream … [Read more...]

Join Me For Latinos in STEM & Spare Parts Twitter Party! #SprintSTEM @SprintLatino #Sponsored
I've been an educator for the last fifteen years. During that time, I have always made sure to encourage all of my students to reach for the stars and to strive to accomplish short-term and long-term goals. It is especially important to support students in pursuing careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) professions. I'm aware that there is indeed a shortage of inner-city, Latino, and female students who are going into these fields. Science projects and classroom experiments are often the first opportunity that our children have to participate in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related activities. But how can we encourage them to take a real interest in these subjects and to understand all of the opportunities that a STEM related career can provide? On January 16th, Spare Parts will hit theaters nationwide. Spare Parts is based on a true story of four Latino students and their teacher on their quest for a shot at a … [Read more...]
How Are Your Eyes? Join Us For The #TransitionsLens Twitter Party! @Transitions #Ad
The fall brings on many delicious opportunities to enjoy some of our favorite foods. But many of those favorites are also loaded in sugar and calories. Fast approaching is November which is Diabetes Awareness Month. My father is diabetic and I have become diabetic since having suffered from gestational diabetes with my younger son. Diabetes is a silent enemy and over 90 percent of severe vision loss and blindness are caused by a serious vision condition called diabetic retinopathy. This can be identified and addressed early on based on the changes that occur in the eye that are visible during a comprehensive eye exam from an eye doctor. Join Transitions Optical and Latina Mom Bloggers on October 22nd for an important chat, “How are your EYES?” Annual Vision Screening Twitter Party. With the year-end fast approaching, it is time to have your eyes examined if you haven’t already done so. We'll be chatting about the causes of Diabetes which can include family … [Read more...]

Join Us For The #MyNovela “Lo Que La Vida Me Robó” Twitter Party with @Univision #Ad
This post was created in partnership with the Stiletto Blogger Network and Univision. However, all opinions expressed herein are my own. If you are like me, you love shows with the reoccurring themes of power, love, family, betrayal and wealth. Add these themes to a novela/soap opera and you have gotten my immediate attention. That is why I just can't stop watching “Lo Que La Vida Me Robó” which is a Mexican novela that is set in a colorful village called Aguazul. Don't just take my word for how juicy their story lines are, go peruse some previews of the show on the dedicated novelas video page. You will be introduced to protagonists who are driven by some of the same hopes and aspirations that you and I have. Just like in real life, these characters are faced with adversity along with the intrusions of controlling parents and competitive friends who revel in stirring up drama, instigating financial hardships and generally making life seem impossible at times. Not only … [Read more...]
