A Piece of My Son’s Love on Mother’s Day
Last night I was cleaning out a closet and stumbled upon this handmade place mat that my son made in 1998. Calculating his age 15 years back, he must have made it when he was five years old in kindergarten. He is now 20 years old. Time has faded it a bit with some wrinkles and now his hands are three times larger. But the little poem on the bottom written by Kathleen Lademan is timeless:

Hispanicize 2013 Recap ~ Mucho Sabor Latino
I attended Hispanicize recently and was honored to speak at the Tech Bloggers session. Here are some of the highlights of the conference.
Cristy Clavijo-Kish with Yolanda Pagan when they announced the Memorial Scholarship fund for Louis Pagan’s children. Louis Pagan was the co-founder of Hispanicize and one of the first people I met on the Latism Twitter parties. He was such a nice man who inspired many Latinos in the blogosphere and social media. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. This was a very emotional tear jerking moment since Yolanda, his widow and children came on to the stage.
