Horseshoe Bend, part of Glen Canyon NP in Arizona.

Are you working on planning a summer vacation with your family?  Are you interested in exploring amazing places?  What if I told you that you could find just the right place for your family and that you could make it affordable?  It’s right here…in your own backyard…it’s a National Park.   (more…)

Eva Fannon (USA)

Eva Fannon is a working mom who lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her hubby and two girls. She was born and raised on the east coast and followed her husband out west when he got a job offer that he couldn't refuse. Eva has always been a planner, so it took her a while to accept that no matter how much you plan and prepare, being a mom means a new and different state of "normal". Despite the craziness on most weekday mornings (getting a family of four out the door in time for work and school is no easy task!), she wouldn't trade being a mother for anything in the world. She and her husband are working on introducing the girls to the things they love - travel, the great outdoors, and enjoying time with family and friends. Eva can be found on Twitter @evafannon.

WORLD VOICE: No Woman Should Die of Cervical Cancer

WORLD VOICE: No Woman Should Die of Cervical Cancer

WomenOfTheWorld

Many of us might hear the word “cancer” and automatically think that such a diagnosis would be a death sentence.  This could be based on things we’ve heard, images we have seen portrayed in the media, or perhaps a personal experience – a friend or relative who has been affected by this “c” word.  The truth is it greatly depends on the type of cancer…how early it is diagnosed…and whether or not a person has access to treatment.

USA:  Why READ?

USA: Why READ?

DSC_0052

As my youngest has started to work on learning to read and write in kindergarten, and my oldest lays on the couch for hours lost in a book, I’ve been reflecting about books and reading.  A book is so much more than just paper and ink and the binding that holds it together.  Books can be entertaining, but most importantly, they teach us new things and help us broaden our understanding of the world we live in.  It turns out reading books also does so much more, especially for our children.   (more…)

WASHINGTON, USA: Eye On Culture – It’s Hispanic Heritage Month!

Venezuelan Food

Typical plate in Venezuela: caraotas (black beans) con queso blanco (cheese), platano maduros (ripe fried plantains), arroz (rice) and ropa vieja (stewed beef).

Stranger: “So, where are you from?”

Me: “Well, I was born in NY, but my family moved to NJ around the time I was 11 or so.”

Stranger: “No, I mean what are you?”

Me: “Huh?” (As I think to myself…a person, a female, a mom.)

Stranger: “Like, what country are you from?”

Me: (Thinking to myself….what part of ‘I was born in NY and then moved to NJ’ didn’t you understand?!) (more…)

MP900431035edIt was a beautiful afternoon.  Blue, sunny, skies warm temperatures – a perfect Seattle summer day.  My three year old and I walked towards the community center holding hands.  As we got closer she froze up.  She stopped walking.  She said, “I don’t want to go.”  (more…)
