MALA MEMORIA.
Siempre he tenido claro que nuestro disco duro posee una  memoria muy limitada. De hecho, los últimos experimentos que tratan de discernir como funciona nuestro cerebro, apuntan con claridad a la fragilidad de este para mantener vivo el recuerdo. Nuestra mala memoria dicen ciertos científicos, es un método de defensa, un ejercicio de auténtica [...]

To Spank or Not To Spank (No Boundaries, More Problems)

To Spank or Not To Spank (No Boundaries, More Problems)

In today’s society, I find it very alarming that discipline and, for that matter, spanking, is so frowned upon.  When my daughter was about five years old, I vividly remember an incident that happened at a local restaurant.  My daughter was throwing a fit and misbehaving, terribly.  After several warnings, she got angry and decided [...]

Detroit: United We Stand

Detroit: United We Stand

I want to admit something to you: everybody shares stuff on Facebook. Whether it’s old pictures, videos on youtube-everybody shares stuff on Facebook. So, it’s interesting when I come across something that makes me stop and really notice. Such is the case for Eminem’s spoken video “Love Letter To Detroit.”
One thing that I’ve never doubted [...]

Como lograr que los niños sean bilingüe

Como lograr que los niños sean bilingüe

No es tan fácil como parece hacer que los niños sean bilingüe.
Muchos niños se confunden cuando están aprendiendo a hablar, y mezclan los dos idiomas, o a veces comienzan a hablar más tarde dado a que están aprendiendo dos idiomas a la vez.  Pero una vez que pasan esta etapa, tendrán un beneficio tremendo al [...]

Purses’ Real Purpose

Purses’ Real Purpose

Just the other day, I found myself thinking about purses, but not for the reasons that you might think. My apologies-I’m not gay. I was listening to the radio to an old Seinfeld routine where he was pondering the supposed purpose for women’s purses. Now, I’m not a huge fan but he intrigued me and [...]

A Happy Easter

A Happy Easter

When I think of Easter with my family, I think of lots of good food, screaming kids, and my Dad who always makes us laugh in one way or another.  He is known for being very blunt and shall I say…to the point.

This year, he has named himself Papa Cottontail.  Funny how, when we were [...]

A Mexican Gringo

A Mexican Gringo

As editor-in-chief, I figured that I should tell you my story about why I wanted to start Mi Estilo. After all, I’m in the storytelling business, right? Let’s be honest. Each of the pieces in Mi Estilo tells some type of story.
My story began in Detroit, where I was born. My parents came from Mexico. [...]

Loans Not Bailouts

To say that I’m pissed off by these recent developments with the Big 3 (i.e Rick Wagoner’s forced dismissal) is an understatement. I don’t know about any of you, but it hurts when I watch the news. Like many in this area, I’m a Big 3 baby. My dad worked close to 40 years as [...]
