About Mom Does It Better

When I started writing about parenting I didn’t even have the tiniest idea of what I was talking about; but it was homework. Yes. I had to defend my masters degree in communications, with a written work. At first, I thought of elaborating a fashion magazine since I was an aspiring model and all about… Continue reading About Mom Does It Better

Cosas que una madre no pide

Mamรก no te pide que hagas nada por ella solo porque demuestra estar cansada, agobiada y abrumada de trabajo. Solo quiere que le tengas paciencia para hacer todo lo que tiene en su agenda con calma. Una madre no te pide que contestes a todo lo que te cuenta sobre su maternidad. Ella sรณlo quiere que la escuches. No pide sugerencias de moda porque ella tiene su estilo, aunque hayan dรญas que no lo parezca. Lo que mamรก necesita es que le digas lo hermosa que es y lo bello que le queda la maternidad tal cual.
Re entering the workforce and motherhood

Though I know that some of my friends and acquaintances have decided to stay home taking care of their children, homeschooling and even doing remote work. Others have been creative and started doing crafts, baking and joined MLMs to start doing business while being available for their families.
Currently I am working as a freelance bilingual copywriter and proofreader for an advertising agency that has a big client I write for.

What makes a super mom?
“Is it long hours doing DIY crafts for kids? Cooking organic healthy meals? Reading paperback or hardcover books to your kids instead of stories out of a tablet? Is it having all the money to give them fun experiences at amusement parks or paid sports’ lessons? Homeschooling them? To me all those things are just part of many different parenting styles and lifestyles. But none of them makes a super mom”.

Over extended maternity leave and work after baby

If I could talk to myself again when I was about to be a mother, I would tell me not to quit working for too long. Taking two years is a luxury, but 4 is madness.
