May 19, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 9 Comments

Woman Studying

Guest post: Cissa Fireheart blogs at Heart of Fire, and when she’s not there or Twittering, she is busy being a full-time student and mother.

Man Reading

Guest post: Tracy López is a writer of multi-cultural fiction living just outside the DC Metro area. She blogs in Spanglish about the joys and challenges unique to bi-cultural families at Latina-ish.

Remembering When

January 15, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 5 Comments

For this week’s Viernes Social, instead of a contest, we’re featuring a heartfelt guest post from a local Latina blogger. I appreciate the post she wrote, as it’s nice to hear about motherhood past the preschool or teenage years. Guest post by Maria Padilla of Orlando Latino. Maria is a journalist who formerly worked at […]

July 17, 2009 By Melanie Edwards 1 Comment

December 2, 2008 By Melanie Edwards 1 Comment
