About Discovering the World Through My Son’s Eyes
This blog started out as a blog about a Latina mother (me!) raising her son bilingually and multiculturally. It has grown into a multicultural parenting lifestyle website geared toward parents who are interested in culture, multicultural parenting, raising bilingual kids, food, and travel. As a parent and educator, I love being able to provide this resource for all.
