Wanna know where does my blog's title come from?

My husband and I have always said that we want to keep as much of our Mexican culture and language as we can. We will raise our kids talking to them in Spanish, we will cook Mexican food for them, we will celebrate Mexican Holidays, etc.

Of course we know that at the same time we will end up celebrating all the Canadian Holidays and we will get involve in the Canadian culture too.

So more than likely our kids will end up being some kind of Mexi-Cans (Mexican Canadians).

When I fantasize about the future, I imagine that one day one of our kids will open the fridge and ask me: Mamá, dónde está la mayonesa? (Mom, where is the mayo?), and I will reply: entre la miel de maple y la salsa (between the maple syrup and the hot salsa).

So there you go, my kids will grow up between maple syrup and hot salsa...

Hi/Hola Everybody,

I have been thinking about starting a blog for months. For some reason I kept thinking that I did not have anything interesting to write about, and that people won't be interested in reading it.

Oh well, I decided to do it for myself. I keep feeling the need to express what goes through my mind.

My main purpose is to express how I see our lives in this new journey that we started two years ago by moving to Canada.

So pardon me if I do not write in proper English, or if sometimes I end up writing in Spanish, hahaha! There some sentences that has to be written in certain language, otherwise they loose the feeling.

I hope you enjoy... here we go
