Breastfeeding vs. Bottle Feeding -- It's ON!

I am astonished by how good we are, as women, at tearing each other down when really we should be building each other up. We are all part of the same team, and our ventures into motherhood should only strengthen that bond.

Stroller Envy

Call me naïve, but I also had NO clue that some strollers could cost upwards of $1,200. That's a good portion of our rent, several months of groceries, a few months' worth of gas, or cases of diapers. I could go on. I'm sure you could too.

Breastfeeding Is Not for Me

Nine months ago, I gave birth to my beautiful son, Joseph. Long before I knew I was pregnant, I was sure of one thing: that I would not be breastfeeding.

Thalia es Radiante!

International multi-platinum recording artist Thalia is not just a pop music sensation -- she's also the mother of 18-month-old daughter, Sabrina, the inspiration for her new pregnancy guidebook: "THALIA: !RADIANTE!" Momlogic sat down to talk to her about everything a new Mami should know about keeping herself fit and happy during pregnancy and beyond.

My Imaginary Six-Figure Salary

If I had a nickel for every hat that I wear around this house, I'd be rich. No seriously, I'd be quite well-off.

Why I Hate Cinco de Mayo

Adventures at the Mommy and Me Movie

Monday morning in my house is filled with dread -- mostly on my part. It's the start of another work week, unending piles of laundry and dishes, and a diaper pail that's seen better days. Wait! What? We're out of coffee? Don't panic ...

It's Just Me, Only Better

Eight weeks ago, I embarked on the Zip Up Your Jeans weight loss challenge with momlogic and celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Today I am 14 pounds lighter and one dress size smaller.

Holiday Magic

It's been a long time since anyone in my family has believed in the Easter Bunny, Santa, Cupid, the Great Pumpkin, or any other holiday-related character actually. And that's mostly because every cousin is over 12 years of age, or just wise beyond their years. But, now that there is a baby in the family, there is a certain spark, a certain magic that has seeped back in to every holiday.

Owies, Booboos and Bumps, Oh My!

Sana, sana colita de raña. A si no sana hoy, sanará mañana.

My Son is a Chick Magnet

I took Joe to the grocery store for the first time today. He looked adorable in a bright orange romper and a floppy hat  -- all smiles. It's almost like he knew how cute he looked -- batting his eyelashes, waving, burying his head on me like a bashful little puppy. And then it dawned on me. My son is a chick magnet.

It's Just a Tremor

A Lesson in Beauty from Barbie?

When I was a little girl, my mother made sure that I always had positive role models in my life, right down to the dolls that I played with in my dollhouse. Whenever possible, she made sure that I had dolls that looked like me - and by that I mean ones that had brown hair, brown eyes, and dark skin (well, I'm pretty fair, but you get the point. The dolls looked Hispanic).

An Open Letter to Mamas Everywhere

It's me, Joseph. My Mama has the day off, so I am writing her blog today. I have a bunch of new tricks up my sleeve, so she needs the break.

A Give and Take for New Moms

Mexican women are by nature, go-getters. We take it all on, no matter what, and we are the focal point of our families - the masa that binds it all together.

If Halle Berry Can Do It, So Can You

One mom's gonna zip up her jeans again thanks to trainer to the stars Harley Pasternak.

Tattoo You -- For Safety!

Have you ever been accidentally separated for your child, even for just a moment? If you have, chances are you'll never forget that heart-wrenching moment.

The Octomom Has Nothing on This Family

The story you are about to read is true. It involves good old-fashioned baby making, a large, lively Mexican family and the rhythm method. If you're a good Catholic woman, you know what I am talking about.
