With social media becoming apart of our current culture, expectations of life situations and circumstances can be deceiving.

Luis is a gay Mexican man sharing his coming out story along with his constant struggles that come with being a gay Mexican man.

Sometimes we have to make decisions in life to protect our inner peace, sanity, health, and happiness! Even if those people are family, or even your parents, it is sometimes best to create healthy boundaries, than to remain submerged in toxic environments.

Everyone’s adoption story is unique and special, Irma shares her beautiful adoption story with us!

Throughout our lives we have had many examples of relationships. We have been able to pick and choose which wifey qualities we want to adopt and which we would rather not. Regardless of the type of wives we are, we love wholeheartedly and unconditionally and strive to keep our families together and well. We are raising our littles with a sense of culture, but at the same time teaching them that their gender does not dictate which qualities are acceptable or not.

Everything in our childhoods have influenced us to be who we are today. We have the choice to either allow those experiences to make us or break us. What motherly figures helped influence us?

A couple of moms sharing our life struggles with the many roles we play: wife, working mother, and trying to find your individuality amongst the chaos.
