Meet Sandra

I’m a West Philly Mama (not born and raised, but the playground is where I spend most of my days). I’m a former professional activist turned stay-at-home-mom. I am happily married to my best friend and together we parent a precocious preschooler and a vivacious toddler. I blog about parenting as a queer, Latina, feminist reclaiming family values.

jb

My husband, co-parent and best friend. jb is my true love, the best dad ever, and resident working stiff.

The Kids

Leo and Zoe are the dynamic brother and sister duo that keep things interesting around here.
