So this beautiful little girl won the Little Miss Hispanic Delaware but was forced to return title after she is accused of not being "Latina Enough."
Once she won it must have been some talk about her not being of Latin Heritage, because she was so dark.
She was asked to provide documentation of her being of Latino Heritage, but she qualified to compete in the first place because her grandmother was born in the Dominican Republic, so that made up the 25% needed.

My wise aunt...
So my aunt was talking to me and she said "why don't you share the things you are doing with M'Kylee?"
I mean I would love to share what I do with her and how she is progressing but how.
So she began telling me that I am an expert because I do these things every day.
Duh, why didn't I think of that? I mean really, an expert is someone that knows a lot about one or more topics.
That's Me!
I am an expert in being a mother because I am a mother everyday.
I am an expert in teaching a baby/ toddler sign language because I have done it for 3 years now.
I am an expert in teaching a toddler abc's, 123's, basic addition, reading, matching, spelling etc because that's just what I do.
I know what I want to teach her and so I do it.
I practice it everyday to get better.
And guess what? Now I share what I do with her, how and why.
Yay me, I am a new found expert. I mean 3 and a half years, I think I am more than just an expert. I have the experience and I have been through trial error.
So take your passion and you can be doing and living off of what you love to do. Like me!
Good Luck and remember All Kids Are Precious.

Breastfeeding Queen...
This is the topic that I actually get a lot of buzz about.
Why because I recently (6 months ago) stopped breastfeeding my daughter.
And anyone who knows me know that I was very motivated and head-strong about breastfeeding.
There are so many benefits, I mean if more women were educated about breastfeeding then more women would do it.
Benefits of breastfeeding include:
Any who, I loved breastfeeding, and would do it all over again.
It was kind of hard to stop and when I did and my milk dried up my little Lee Lee said "Mommy lets go get milk out of the fridge." She made me laugh and it was hard explaining that it would not be that easy but she's coming around. However, right before I started weening her I did start feeling weird because she was tall for her to be 2 (she looked like a 3-4 year old) and she would be hanging off of my lap while she was breastfeeding so I think it was getting uncomfortable for the both of us. Just stop when you are ready do not let anyone pressure you to stop. The longer the better... I wanted to breastfeed her until she was like 4 but can you say WEIRD really loud. I did and realized that it was time.
Every now and again she will say "mommy, may I have Tetas," and I just have to remind her that she is a big girl and that tetas are for babies.
So please just remember All kids are Precious and breastfeeding is the best way! (I did not say the only way)

Benefits of breastfeeding include:
- Promotes a healthy bond between mother and child
- Helps fight breast cancer
- Helps your uterus snap back in shape (thus allowing your body to get rid of some unwanted weight
- It carries all of the proteins and vitamins, and pro-biotics that helps keep your child healthy
- It has yet to be duplicated (cannot duplicate the best, that's why now they have breast milk donations) and honestly Cow milk is for Heifers.
- etc.

Homeschool Benefits...
Why should I let M'Kylee learn at home rather than send her to school?
Well, first of all, I don't have to wake them up early every
morning and rush her off to school with umpteen numbers of
instructions, and wait with an anxious heart until she return.
Honestly homeschooling gives me more control over the influences that
affect my daughter. Me, and me alone can decide what she needs to do or learn. Tailoring
the curriculum to suit the needs and interests of the child is one of the most obvious benefits of homeschooling.
Individual attention is another salient benefit of
homeschooling. She can work on the subjects she needs more help with, as long as she needs to.
The amount of time needed to learn each subject will depend on the abilities and interests of the child.
Field trips and experiments become family activities. Thus,
the child receives more quality time with his parents. The
entire family shares games, chores and projects. Family
closeness becomes the focus here. The child is also free of
any negative peer pressure while making choices and decisions.
Our recent Field Trip was to the Railroad museum. She loved getting on the big trains and we even took a ride on one of the tour trains.
Competition is limited when it comes to homeschooling. M'kylee does not need to prove her ability with regards to other children. Her confidence remains intact.
Learning becomes fun.
I also tailor the curriculum to
suit the learning style of M'kylee. For instance to get her to learn how to spell (examine) I had to write the word so she can become familiar with seeing it, then I would have to spell it and let her repeat me, then I would have to finger spell the word and then teach her the sign that goes with the word. Without me signing the word and finger spelling it just does not stick.
Homeschooling allows me to take control over her moral and
religious learning. I have the flexibility to
incorporate her beliefs and ideologies into the her curriculum.
There is no confusion in the her mind either because there is
no variation between what is being taught and what is being practiced.
Lastly, more and more parents are getting disillusioned with the
public school system. They believe that their children are being
pushed too hard or too little. Other worrying issues pertaining to
discipline and ethics also make the school system less welcome. Many
repudiate the educational philosophy of grouping children solely on
the basis of their age. Some parents, myself included, themselves have unhappy memories
of their own public school experience that motivates them to opt for
homeschooling when it comes to their own children.
Homeschooling is the best way to teach a child if you have the time,
the ability and the interest to follow through with his/her education. After
all, nobody can understand or appreciate your child more than You.
But if you do not have the time and know of someone that is homeschooling their children, and would like your child to be involved then you can work with that person to teach your child.
Good luck and All kids are Precious.

A Quick Video...
Just made a video of my daughter doing some reading practice. I cannot stress the importance of teaching our children. Teach, teach, and teach some more. Knowledge is Power. I teach my daughter anything I can think of.
If we're out for a stroll and we see some pretty flowers we take pictures of them and do research. Then we'd do a flower hunt, where we would go walking and collect the different flowers and glue them on a piece of construction paper. This makes for a good flower collage that she can look at and learn the different flowers.
Just be creative, keep it interesting, and keep teaching.
Until next time...

9 year old driver?
Well in Panama, FL a young nine year old little girl was very courageous.
Her father became sick while driving, and she bravely took over, while still in the back of the car, and rushed him to a nearby hospital.
Wow, this is amazing and I am just glad that she did not get into any accidents, because this story could have been a lot worse.
Anyways, you can find out more about this little precious girl, Esteria Smith, and her story at: http://articles.mamaslatinas.com/inspiration/116812/amazing_9yearold_girl_takes_the

Step-Parents
Wow, what a touchy topic for me.
I have been a step-mother for about 7 years. It was hard in the beginning you know dealing with the awkwardness of being around another woman who had a relations with my boyfriend.
But over the years things have gotten better.
Do you know it took my oldest daughter about 4 years to tell me she loved me. That was because all she heard was negative things about me, from her mom. But as she spent more and more time with me she noticed I am a good person and love her and her sister.
That was a very special day for me, because i would kiss her and her sister goodnight and she would never say "I love you," back to me.
But I love them to death especially now we have bonded over the years and they have high respect for me and that makes me happy! I have my own 3 precious kids!
On that note I love you Brenaya, Senai, and M'kylee!
