MIXED: Lessons in Multicultural Parenting

It's been a rough few weeks...not too long ago I experienced my first miscarriage, and shortly after beginning to process that we got to be part of history yet again and experience winter storm Uri, power outages and all. 

So it's been a while y'all...I can say y'all now that I live in Texas right? Let's check in with each other this new year...

Today's interview is with my new friend Lauren Cunico, who talks about her hispanic heritage, her global travels, raising bilingual children and serving a missing for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Honduras. 

For those interested, here is the Facebook group that Lauren mentions later on in the episode, as a resource for parents trying to teach children a second language, just shoot me an email if you would like an invite to the group!

I've watched many movies during this pandemic (don't even get me started on Netflix's Love Guaranteed...bleh!) but felt the need to do a personal review of the 2020 Disney Plus Mulan. there are MANY opinions on this movie, but here is my take. 

It's been a while! I've been on a hiatus as my family and I moved from Washington State to Texas. Right before our move to Texas I got a call from my dad letting me know that my Grandfather who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma wasn't doing as well as we hoped. So I went out to see him and wanted to share my experience with you. 

I watched Hulu's, Little Fires Everywhere, and had some thoughts. A lot of thoughts.   

Here is a little Tuesday pick me up for you! Enjoy my ridiculously cute two year old singing a duet of You Are My Sunshine with me. 

On Good Friday, April 10th there was a worldwide day of fasting. This fast was announced by President Russel M. Nelson during April General Conference and the main purpose was to help with the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a unique experience for myself, and I'm sure for everyone else who chose to participate. I decided to document my experience as I participated in the fast. 

This past Sunday was amazing, and I'll tell you why....and why this upcoming Sunday won't be one to forget!

Well, we all know what is going on, we've seen the news. There is lots of bad news, but there is also good news!
