With Back to School season upon us, I'm constantly worrying about what to feed kids. Although I was always a fan of my school's cafeteria food growing up, the more I read about it these days the more I just CANNOT allow a child to eat that stuff. I mean, seriously, between the ammonia-treated beef trimmings, a.k.a. "pink slime", appearing at schools and ALL of the junk food, there has to be a safer choice!

Well, when it comes to eating lunch at school, the best choice may actually be what mami can make. And while I don't think any kids want to go to school with a Tupperware full of arroz con pollo, these 5 Latin sandwiches are DEFINITELY going be a crowd pleaser. Check out the full recipes below and get ready to have your kids feasting on something safer and healthier at school!

It's Back to School season and my favorite part of sending the kids back to school is shopping. Yes, maybe I'm a teensy bit of a shopping addict but there is absolutely nothing better, to me, than gearing up for a brand new year with some cool new gear.

Of course, just buying random nice things isn't the smartest thing to do. That is, until you take a look at these 5 fun desk accessories that will actually make your kids MORE productive at school. Don't believe me? Well, you'll be amazed by the pen that can do it all, the awesome message board and more! Take a look at how you can spruce up your tween or teen's room, help them succeed at school and get just a little bit of shopping done all at once.

My kids went back to school last week, so we went through a series of steps in preparation for this more than a couple of weeks ago. We took a vacation the first week of August and as soon as we came back, I started implementing many of the things I'm about to share with you and I think they helped us all get back into the school routine. I must say, though, that the hardest one is getting them to go to bed earlier than they normally did this summer.

My daughter Vanessa is only in first grade, but I've know since she started preschool that it's of utmost importance for me to connect with her teachers. In my book, it's the only way for things to run smoothly and to truly work out for all of those involved. In a little bit, I'll be attending Vanessa's back to school night at her school. I'm looking forward to getting to know her teacher a little bit better and explaining a few things I think she should know about Vanessa, including the fact that I only speak to her in Spanish at home.

Although most kids haven't gone back to school yet, in the next few weeks, everyone will. So, we figured this was a good time to give you some tips on how to connect with your child's teacher straight from an expert.

It's that time of the year again, moms: BACK TO SCHOOL!

When I was younger, I had the terrible habit of never eating breakfast. Even when my mom tried, I would just say I didn't have time or wasn't hungry. Then, of course, I would be tired and starving by the time lunch came around.

You don't want the same for your kids, right? That's why I've found the 5 easiest, quickest breakfasts that your kids will love. From two that you can make overnight (my own super-delicious slow cooker coconut banana oatmeal and dulce de leche French toast) to the geniously simple avocado toast to the classic Mexican breakfast tacos and the tasty eggs with tortilla chips, salsa and cheese. Everyone in the family is sure to enjoy these great pre-school meals!
